Functional Description
The KSZ8842M contains two 10/100 physical layer transceivers (PHYs), two MAC units, and a DMA channel
integrated with a Layer-2 switch.
The KSZ8842M contains a bus interface unit (BIU), which controls the KSZ8842M via an 8, 16, or 32-bit host
interface.
Physical signal transmission and reception are enhanced through the use of analog circuits in the PHY that make
the design more efficient and allow for low power consumption.
Functional Overview: Physical Layer Transceiver
100BASE-TX Transmit
The 100BASE-TX transmit function performs parallel to serial conversion, 4B/5B coding, scrambling, NRZ-to-NRZI
conversion, and MLT3 encoding and transmission.
The circuitry starts with a parallel-to-serial conversion, which converts the MII data from the MAC into a 125MHz
serial bit stream. The data and control stream is then converted into 4B/5B coding, followed by a scrambler. The
serialized data is further converted from NRZ-to-NRZI format, and then transmitted in MLT3 current output. The
output current is set by an external1% 3.01KΩ resistor for the 1:1 transformer ratio.
The output signal has a typical rise/fall time of 4ns and complies with the ANSI TP-PMD standard regarding
amplitude balance, overshoot, and timing jitter. The wave-shaped 10BASE-T output is also incorporated into the
100BASE-TX transmitter.
100BASE-TX Receive
The 100BASE-TX receiver function performs adaptive equalization, DC restoration, MLT3-to-NRZI conversion,
data and clock recovery, NRZI-to-NRZ conversion, de-scrambling, 4B/5B decoding, and serial to parallel
conversion.
The receiving side starts with the equalization filter to compensate for inter-symbol interference (ISI) over the
twisted pair cable. Since the amplitude loss and phase distortion is a function of the cable length, the equalizer
must adjust its characteristics to optimize performance. In this design, the variable equalizer makes an initial
estimation based on comparisons of incoming signal strength against some known cable characteristics, and then
tunes itself for optimization. This is an ongoing process and self-adjusts against environmental changes such as
temperature variations.
Next, the equalized signal goes through a DC restoration and data conversion block. The DC restoration circuit is
used to compensate for the effect of baseline wander and to improve the dynamic range. The differential data
conversion circuit converts the MLT3 format back to NRZI. The slicing threshold is also adaptive.
The clock recovery circuit extracts the 125MHz clock from the edges of the NRZI signal. This recovered clock is
then used to convert the NRZI signal into the NRZ format. This signal is sent through the de-scrambler followed by
the 4B/5B decoder. Finally, the NRZ serial data is converted to the MII format and provided as the input data to the
MAC.
Scrambler/De-scrambler (100BASE-TX only)
The purpose of the scrambler is to spread the power spectrum of the signal to reduce electromagnetic interference
(EMI) and baseline wander. Transmitted data is scrambled through the use of an 11-bit wide linear feedback shift
register (LFSR). The scrambler generates a 2047-bit non-repetitive sequence, and the receiver then de-scrambles
the incoming data stream using the same sequence as at the transmitter.
10BASE-T Transmit
The 10BASE-T driver is incorporated with the 100BASE-TX driver to allow for transmission using the same
magnetic. They are internally wave-shaped and pre-emphasized into outputs with a typical 2.3V amplitude. The
harmonic contents are at least 27dB below the fundamental frequency when driven by an all-ones Manchester-
encoded signal.
10BASE-T Receive
On the receive side, input buffers and level detecting squelch circuits are employed. A differential input receiver
