Cortina Systems® LXT971A Single-Port
10/100 Mbps PHY Transceiver
Datasheet
The Cortina Systems® LXT971A Single-Port 10/100 Mbps PHY Transceiver (LXT971A PHY) directly
supports both 100BASE-TX and 10BASE-T applications. It provides a Media Independent Interface (MII)
for easy attachment to 10/100 Media Access Controllers (MACs). The LXT971A PHY is IEEE compliant,
and provides a Low Voltage Positive Emitter Coupled Logic (LVPECL) interface for use with 100BASEFX fiber networks. The LXT971A PHY supports full-duplex operation at 10 Mbps and 100 Mbps.
Operating conditions for the LXT971A PHY can be set using auto-negotiation, parallel detection, or
manual control. The LXT971A PHY is fabricated with an advanced CMOS process and requires only a
single 2.5/3.3 V power supply. (This Datasheet also supports the LXT971 PHY.)

5.1
Device Overview
The LXT971A PHY is a single-port Fast Ethernet 10/100 PHY that supports 10 Mbps and
100 Mbps networks. It complies with applicable requirements of IEEE 802.3. It directly
drives either a 100BASE-TX line or a 10BASE-T line.
Note:
The LXT971A PHY also supports 100BASE-FX operation through an LVPECL interface.
5.1.1
Comprehensive Functionality
The LXT971A PHY provides a standard Media Independent Interface (MII) for 10/100
MACs. The LXT971A PHY performs all functions of the Physical Coding Sublayer (PCS)
and Physical Media Attachment (PMA) sublayer as defined in the IEEE 802.3 100BASE-X
standard. It also performs all functions of the Physical Media Dependent (PMD) sublayer
for 100BASE-TX connections.
The LXT971A PHY reads its configuration pins on power-up to check for forced operation
settings.
If the LXT971A PHY is not set for forced operation, it uses auto-negotiation/parallel
detection to automatically determine line operating conditions. If the PHY device on the
other side of the link supports auto-negotiation, the LXT971A PHY auto-negotiates with it
using Fast Link Pulse (FLP) Bursts. If the PHY partner does not support auto-negotiation,
the LXT971A PHY automatically detects the presence of either link pulses (10 Mbps PHY)
or Idle symbols (100 Mbps PHY) and sets its operating conditions accordingly.
The LXT971A PHY provides half-duplex and full-duplex operation at 100 Mbps and
10 Mbps.
5.1.2
Optimal Signal Processing Architecture
The LXT971A PHY incorporates high-efficiency Optimal Signal Processing (OSP) design
techniques, which combine optimal properties of digital and analog signal processing.
The receiver utilizes decision feedback equalization to increase noise and cross-talk
immunity by as much as 3 dB over an ideal all-analog equalizer. Using OSP mixed-signal
processing techniques in the receive equalizer avoids the quantization noise and

5.2 Network Media / Protocol
Support
calculation truncation errors found in traditional DSP-based receivers (typically complex
DSP engines with A/D converters). This results in improved receiver noise and cross-talk
performance.
The OSP signal processing scheme also requires substantially less computational logic
than traditional DSP-based designs. This lowers power consumption and also reduces the
logic switching noise generated by DSP engines. This logic switching noise can be a
considerable source of EMI generated on the device’s power supplies.
The OSP-based LXT971A PHY provides improved data recovery, EMI performance, and
low power consumption.
5.2
Network Media / Protocol Support
This section includes the following:
• Section 5.2.1, 10/100 Network Interface
• Section 5.2.2, MII Data Interface
• Section 5.2.3, Configuration Management Interface
The LXT971A PHY supports both 10BASE-T and 100BASE-TX Ethernet over twisted-pair
or 100 Mbps Ethernet over fiber media (100BASE-FX).
5.2.1
10/100 Network Interface
The network interface port consists of five external pins (two differential signal pairs and a
signal detect pin). The I/O pins are shared between twisted-pair (TP) and fiber. For
specific pin assignments, see Section 4.0, Signal Descriptions, on page 17.
The LXT971A PHY output drivers can generate one of the following outputs:
• 100BASE-TX
• 10BASE-T
• 100BASE-FX
When not transmitting data, the LXT971A PHY generates IEEE 802.3-compliant link
pulses or idle code. Depending on the mode selected, input signals are decoded as one of
the following:
• 100BASE-TX
• 10BASE-T
• 100BASE-FX
Auto-negotiation/parallel detection or manual control is used to determine the speed of
this interface.
5.2.1.1
Twisted-Pair Interface
The LXT971A PHY supports either 100BASE-TX or 10BASE-T connections over 100 Ω,
Category 5, Unshielded Twisted Pair (UTP) cable. When operating at 100 Mbps, the
LXT971A PHY continuously transmits and receives MLT3 symbols. When not transmitting
data, the LXT971A PHY generates “IDLE” symbols.
During 10 Mbps operation, Xilink* Manchester-encoded data is exchanged. When no data
is being exchanged, the line is left in an idle state. Link pulses are transmitted periodically
to keep the link up.

complete this interface. On the transmit side, the LXT971A PHY has an active internal
termination and does not require external termination resistors. Cortina’s waveshaping
technology shapes the outgoing signal to help reduce the need for external EMI filters.
Four slew rate settings allow the designer to match the output waveform to the magnetic
characteristics. On the receive side, the internal impedance is high enough that it has no
practical effect on the external termination circuit. (For the slew rate settings, see
Table 62, Transmit Control Register - Address 30, Hex 1E, on page 93.)
5.2.1.2
Fiber Interface
The LXT971A PHY fiber port is designed to interface with common industry-standard fiber
modules. It incorporates an LVPECL interface that complies with the ANSI X3.166
standard for seamless integration.
Fiber mode is selected through register bit 16.0 by the following two methods:
1. Drive the SD input to a value greater than 600 mV during power-up and reset states
(all LVPECL signaling levels from a fiber PHY are acceptable).
2. Configure register bit 16.0 = 1 through the MDIO interface.
5.2.1.3
Remote Fault Detection and Reporting
The LXT971A PHY supports two remote fault detection and reporting mechanisms.
• “Remote Fault” refers to a MAC-to-MAC communication function that is transparent to
PHY layer devices. It is used only during auto-negotiation, and is applicable only to
twisted-pair links.
• “Far-End Fault” is an optional PMA-layer function that may be embedded within PHY
devices.
Remote Fault Detection. register bit 4.13 in the Auto-Negotiation Advertisement Register
is reserved for Remote Fault indications. It is typically used when re-starting the autonegotiation sequence to indicate to the link partner that the link is down because the
advertising device detected a local fault.
When the LXT971A PHY receives a Remote Fault indication from its partner during autonegotiation, the following occurs:
• register bit 5.13 in the Link Partner Base Page Ability Register is set.
• Remote Fault register bit 1.4 in the MII Status Register is set to pass this information
to the local controller.
100BASE-FX Far-End Fault Indication. The LXT971A PHY independently detects signal
faults from the local fiber PHYs through the SD/TP_L pin. The LXT971A PHY also uses
register bit 1.4 to report Remote Fault indications received from its link partner. The
LXT971A PHY ORs both fault conditions to set bit 1.4 to ‘1’. register bit 1.4 is set once and
clears to ‘0’ when it is read. In fiber operations, the far-end fault detection process requires
idles to establish link. Link does not establish if a far-end fault pattern is the initial signal
detected.
Either fault condition causes the LXT971A PHY to drop the link unless Forced Link Pass
is selected by setting register bit 16.14 to ‘1’. A ‘link is down’ condition is then reported
with interrupts and status bits.
In response to locally detected signal faults (that is, the SD/TP_L pin is activated by the
local fiber PHY), the affected port can transmit the far-end fault code if the fault code
transmission is enabled by register bit 16.2.

5.2 Network Media / Protocol
Support
• When register bit 16.2 = 0, the LXT971A PHY does not transmit far end fault code. It
continues to transmit idle code and may or may not drop link depending on the setting
for register bit 16.14.
• When register bit 16.2 = 1, transmission of the far end fault code is enabled. The
LXT971A PHY transmits far end fault code if fault conditions are detected by the SD/
TP_L pin.
The occurrence of a Far End Fault causes all transmission of data from the Reconciliation
Sublayer to stop and the Far End fault code to begin. The Far End Fault code consists of
84 ones followed by a single zero. (This pattern must be repeated three times.)
If the LXT971A PHY detects a signal fault condition, it can transmit the Far-End Fault
Indication (FEFI) over the fiber link. The FEFI consists of 84 consecutive ones followed by
a single zero. This pattern must be repeated at least three times. The LXT971A PHY
transmits the far-end fault code a minimum of three times if all the following conditions are
true:
• Fiber mode is selected.
• Fault Code transmission is enabled (register bit 16.2 = 1).
• Either Signal Detect indicates no signal, or the receive PLL cannot lock.
• Loopback is not enabled.
5.2.2
MII Data Interface
The LXT971A PHY supports a standard Media Independent Interface (MII). The MII
consists of a data interface and a management interface. The MII Data Interface passes
data between the LXT971A PHY and a Media Access Controller (MAC). Separate parallel
buses are provided for transmit and receive. This interface operates at either 10 Mbps or
100 Mbps. The speed is set automatically, once the operating conditions of the network
link have been determined. For details, see Section 5.6, MII Operation, on page 36.
Increased MII Drive Strength. A higher Media Independent Interface (MII) drive strength
may be desired in some designs to drive signals over longer PCB trace lengths, or over
high-capacitive loads, through multiple vias, or through a connector. The MII drive
strength in the LXT971A PHY can be increased by setting register bit 26.11 through
software control. Setting register bit 26.11 = 1 through the MDC/MDIO interface sets the
MII pins (RXD[3:0], RX_DV, RX_CLK, RX_ER, COL, CRS, and TX_CLK) to a higher drive
strength.
5.2.3
Configuration Management Interface
The LXT971A PHY provides both an MDIO interface and a reduced hardware control
interface for device configuration and management.
5.2.3.1
MDIO Management Interface
MDIO management interface topics include the following:
• Section 5.2.3.1.1, MDIO Addressing
• Section 5.2.3.1.2, MDIO Frame Structure
• Section 5.2.3.1.3, MII Interrupts

5.2 Network Media / Protocol
Support
The LXT971A PHY supports the IEEE 802.3 MII Management Interface also known as the
Management Data Input/Output (MDIO) Interface. This interface allows upper-layer
devices to monitor and control the state of the LXT971A PHY. The MDIO interface
consists of a physical connection, a specific protocol that runs across the connection, and
an internal set of addressable registers.
Some registers are required and their functions are defined by the IEEE 802.3 standard.
The LXT971A PHY also supports additional registers for expanded functionality. The
LXT971A PHY supports multiple internal registers, each of which is 16 bits wide. Specific
register bits are referenced using an “X.Y” notation, where X is the register number (0-31)
and Y is the bit number (0-15).
The physical interface consists of a data line (MDIO) and clock line (MDC). Operation of
this interface is controlled by the MDDIS input pin. When MDDIS is High, the MDIO read
and write operations are disabled and the Hardware Control Interface provides primary
configuration control. When MDDIS is Low, the MDIO port is enabled for both read and
write operations and the Hardware Control Interface is not used.
5.2.3.1.1
MDIO Addressing
The MDIO addressing protocol allows a controller to communicate with multiple PHYs.
Pins ADDR[4:0] can be used to determine the PHY device address that is selected.
5.2.3.1.2
MDIO Frame Structure
The physical interface consists of a data line (MDIO) and clock line (MDC). The frame
structure is shown in Figure 4 and Figure 5 (Read and Write).
MDIO Interface timing is given in Section 7.0, Electrical Specifications.

MII Interrupts
Figure 6 shows the MII interrupt logic. The LXT971A PHY provides a hardware interrupt
pin (MDINT_L) and two dedicated interrupt registers, Register 18 and Register 19.

5.3 Operating Requirements
• Register 18 provides interrupt enable and mask functions. Setting register bit 18.1 = 1
enables the device to request interrupt via the MDINT_L pin. An active Low on this pin
indicates a status change on the LXT971A PHY. Interrupts may be caused by any of
the following four conditions:
— Auto-negotiation complete
— Speed status change
— Duplex status change
— Link status change
• Register 19 provides the interrupt status.

• Duplex status change
• Link status change
5.2.3.2
Hardware Control Interface
The LXT971A PHY provides a Hardware Control Interface for applications where the
MDIO is not desired. The Hardware Control Interface uses the hardware configuration
pins to set device configuration. For details, see Section 5.4.4, Hardware Configuration
Settings, on page 33.
5.3
Operating Requirements
5.3.1
Power Requirements
The LXT971A PHY requires three power supply inputs:
• VCCA
• VCCD
Cortina Systems® LXT971A Single-Port 10/100 Mbps PHY Transceiver
Page 29
LXT971A PHY
Datasheet
249414, Revision 5.2
13 September 2007
5.4 Initialization
• VCCIO
The digital and analog circuits require 3.3 V supplies (VCCA and VCCD). These inputs
may be supplied from a single source. Each supply input must be de-coupled to ground.
An additional supply may be used for the MII (VCCIO). The supply may be either 2.5 V or
3.3 V. Also, the inputs on the MII interface are tolerant to 5 V signals from the controller on
the other side of the MII interface. For MII I/O characteristics, see Table 24, Digital I/O
Characteristics1 - MII Pins, on page 62.
Notes:
1. Bring up power supplies as close to the same time as possible.
2. As a matter of good practice, keep power supplies as clean as possible.
5.3.2
Clock Requirements
5.3.2.1
External Crystal/Oscillator
The LXT971A PHY requires a reference clock input that is used to generate transmit
signals and recover receive signals. It may be provided by either of two methods: by
connecting a crystal across the oscillator pins (XI and XO) with load capacitors, or by
connecting an external clock source to pin XI.
The connection of a clock source to the XI pin requires the XO pin to be left open. To
minimize transmit jitter, Cortina recommends a crystal-based clock instead of a derived
clock (that is, a PLL-based clock).
A crystal is typically used in NIC applications. An external 25 MHz clock source, rather
than a crystal, is frequently used in switch applications. For clock timing requirements, see
Table 25, I/O Characteristics - REFCLK/XI and XO Pins, on page 63.
5.3.2.2
MDIO Clock
The MII management channel (MDIO) also requires an external clock. The managed data
clock (MDC) speed is a maximum of 8 MHz.
5.4
Initialization
This section includes the following topics:
• Section 5.4.1, MDIO Control Mode and Hardware Control Mode
• Section 5.4.2, Reduced-Power Modes
• Section 5.4.3, Reset
• Section 5.4.4, Hardware Configuration Settings
When the LXT971A PHY is first powered on, reset, or encounters a link failure state, it
checks the MDIO register configuration bits to determine the line speed and operating
conditions to use for the network link.
Table 13 shows the LXT971A PHY initialization sequence. The configuration bits may be
set by the Hardware Control or MDIO interface.

MDIO Control Mode and Hardware Control Mode
In the MDIO Control mode, the LXT971A PHY reads the Hardware Control Interface pins
to set the initial (default) values of the MDIO registers. Once the initial values are set, bit
control reverts to the MDIO interface.
The following modes are available using either Hardware Control or MDIO control:
• Force network link to 100BASE-FX (Fiber)
• Force network link operation to:
— 100BASE-TX, Full-Duplex
— 100BASE-TX, Half-Duplex
— 10BASE-T, Full-Duplex

• Allow auto-negotiation/parallel-detection
In the Hardware Control Mode, the LXT971A PHY disables direct-write operations to the
MDIO registers through the MDIO Interface.
On power-up or hardware reset, the LXT971A PHY reads the Hardware Control Interface
pins and sets the MDIO registers accordingly.
When the network link is forced to a specific configuration, the LXT971A PHY immediately
begins operating the network interface as commanded. When auto-negotiation is enabled,
the LXT971A PHY begins the auto-negotiation/parallel-detection operation.
5.4.2
Reduced-Power Modes
This section discusses the LXT971A PHY reduced-power modes.
5.4.2.1
Hardware Power Down
The hardware power-down mode is controlled by the PWRDWN pin. When PWRDWN is
High, the following conditions are true:
• The LXT971A PHY network port and clock are shut down.
• All outputs are tristated.
• All weak pad pull-up and pull-down resistors are disabled.
• The MDIO registers are not accessible.
5.4.2.2
Software Power Down
Software power-down control is provided by register bit 0.11 in the Control Register.
During soft power-down, the following conditions are true:
• The network port is shut down.
• The MDIO registers remain accessible.
5.4.2.3
Sleep Mode
The LXT971A PHY supports a power-saving sleep mode. Sleep mode is enabled when
SLEEP is asserted via pin 32(LQFP)/H7(PBGA). The value of pin 32/H7 can be
overridden by register bit 16.6 in managed mode as listed in Table 56, Configuration
Register - Address 16, Hex 10, on page 86. The LXT971A PHY enters into sleep mode
when SLEEP is enabled and no energy is detected on the twisted-pair input for 1 to 3
seconds. (The time is controlled by register bits 16.4:3 in the Configuration Register, with
a default of 3.04 seconds.)
During this mode, the LXT971A PHY still responds to management transactions (MDC/
MDIO). In this mode the power consumption is minimized, and the supply current is
reduced below the maximum value. If the LXT971A PHY detects activity on the twistedpair inputs, it comes out of the sleep state and checks for link. If no link is detected in from
1 to 3 seconds (the time is programmable) it reverts to the low power sleep state.
Note:
Sleep mode is not functional in fiber network applications.

5.4 Initialization
Reset
The LXT971A PHY provides both hardware and software resets, each of which manage
differently the configuration control of auto-negotiation, speed, and duplex-mode
selection.
For a software reset, register bit 0.15 = 1. For register bit definitions used for software
reset, see Table 46, Control Register - Address 0, Hex 0, on page 79.
• During a software reset, bit settings in Table 50, Auto-Negotiation Advertisement
Register - Address 4, Hex 4, on page 82 are not re-read from the LXT971A PHY
configuration pins. Instead, the bit settings revert to the values that were read in
during the last hardware reset. Therefore, any changes to pin values made since the
last hardware reset are not detected during a software reset.
• During a software reset, registers are available for reading. To see when the LXT971A
PHY has completed reset, the reset bit can be polled (that is, register bit 0.15 = 0).
For pin settings used during a hardware reset, see Section 5.4.4, Hardware Configuration
Settings. During a hardware reset, configuration settings for auto-negotiation and speed
are read in from pins, and register information is unavailable for 1 ms after de-assertion of
the reset.
5.4.4
Hardware Configuration Settings
The LXT971A PHY provides a hardware option to set the initial device configuration. As
listed in Table 13, the hardware option uses the hardware configuration pins, the settings
for which provide control bits.

5.5.1
Auto-Negotiation
If not configured for forced operation, the LXT971A PHY attempts to auto-negotiate with
its link partner by sending Fast Link Pulse (FLP) bursts. Each burst consists of up to 33
link pulses spaced 62.5 μs apart. Odd link pulses (clock pulses) are always present. Even
link pulses (data pulses) may be absent or present to indicate a ‘0’ or a ‘1’. Each FLP burst
exchanges 16 bits of data, which are referred to as a “link code word”. All devices that
support auto-negotiation must implement the “Base Page” defined by the IEEE 802.3
standard (Registers 4 and 5).
The LXT971A PHY also supports the optional “Next Page” function as listed in Table 53,
Auto-Negotiation Next Page Transmit Register - Address 7, Hex 7, on page 84 and
Table 54, Auto-Negotiation Link Partner Next Page Receive Register - Address 8, Hex 8,
on page 85.
5.5.1.1
Base Page Exchange
By exchanging Base Pages, the LXT971A PHY and its link partner communicate their
capabilities to each other. Both sides must receive at least three consecutive identical
base pages for negotiation to continue. Each side identifies the highest common
capabilities that both sides support, and each side configures itself accordingly.

5.6 MII Operation
Manual Next Page Exchange
“Next Page Exchange” information is additional information that exceeds the information
required by Base Page exchange and that is sent by “Next Pages”. The LXT971A PHY
fully supports the IEEE 802.3 standard method of negotiation through the Next Page
exchange.
The Next Page exchange uses Register 7 to send information and Register 8 to receive it.
Next Page exchange occurs only if both ends of the link partners advertise their ability to
exchange Next Pages. register bit 6.1 is used to make manual next page exchange easier
for software. This register bit is cleared when a new negotiation occurs, preventing the
user from reading an old value in Register 6 and assuming there is valid information in
Registers 5 and 8.
5.5.1.3
Controlling Auto-Negotiation
When auto-negotiation is controlled by software, Cortina recommends the following steps:
1. After power-up, power-down, or reset, the power-down recovery time (specified in
Table 44, RESET_L Pulse Width and Recovery Timing, on page 77) must be
exhausted before proceeding.
2. Set the Auto-Negotiation Advertisement register bits.
3. Enable auto-negotiation. (Set MDIO register bit 0.12 = 1.)
4. To ensure proper operation, enable or restart auto-negotiation as soon as possible
after writing to Register 4.
5.5.2
Parallel Detection
In parallel with auto-negotiation, the LXT971A PHY also monitors for 10 Mbps Normal
Link Pulses (NLP) or 100 Mbps Idle symbols. If either symbol is detected, the device
automatically reverts to the corresponding speed in half-duplex mode. Parallel detection
allows the LXT971A PHY to communicate with devices that do not support autonegotiation.
When parallel detection resolves a link, the link must be established in half-duplex mode.
According to IEEE standards, the forced link partner cannot be configured to full-duplex. If
the auto-negotiation link partner does not advertise half-duplex capability at the speed of
the forced link partner, link is not established. The IEEE Standard prevents full-duplex-tohalf-duplex link connections.

5.6 MII Operation
The LXT971A PHY implements the Media Independent Interface (MII) as defined by the
IEEE 802.3 standard. Separate channels are provided for transmitting data from the MAC
to the LXT971A PHY (TXD), and for passing data received from the line (RXD) to the
MAC. Each channel has its own clock, data bus, and control signals.
The following signals are used to pass received data to the MAC:
• COL
• CRS
• RX_CLK
• RX_DV
• RX_ER
• RXD[3:0]
The following signals are used to transmit data from the MAC:
• TX_CLK
• TX_EN
• TX_ER
• TXD[3:0]
The LXT971A PHY supplies both clock signals as well as separate outputs for carrier
sense and collision. Data transmission across the MII is normally implemented in 4-bitwide nibbles.
5.6.1
MII Clocks
The LXT971A PHY is the master clock source for data transmission, and it supplies both
MII clocks (RX_CLK and TX_CLK). It automatically sets the clock speeds to match link
conditions.
• When the link is operating at 100 Mbps, the clocks are set to 25 MHz.
• When the link is operating at 10 Mbps, the clocks are set to 2.5 MHz.
Figure 10 through Figure 12 show the clock cycles for each mode.
Note:
The transmit data and control signals must always be synchronized to TX_CLK by the
MAC. The LXT971A PHY samples these signals on the rising edge of TX_CLK.

5.6.2
Transmit Enable
The MAC must assert TX_EN the same time as the first nibble of preamble and de-assert
TX_EN after the last nibble of the packet.
5.6.3
Receive Data Valid
The LXT971A PHY asserts RX_DV when it receives a valid packet. Timing changes
depend on line operating speed:
• For 100BASE-TX links, RX_DV is asserted from the first nibble of preamble to the last
nibble of the data packet.
• For 10BASE-T links, the entire preamble is truncated. RX_DV is asserted with the first
nibble of the Start of Frame Delimiter (SFD) “5D” and remains asserted until the end
of the packet.
5.6.4
Carrier Sense
Carrier Sense (CRS) is an asynchronous output.
• CRS is always generated when the LXT971A PHY receives a packet from the line.
• CRS is also generated when the LXT971A PHY is in half-duplex mode when a packet
is transmitted.
Table 14 summarizes the conditions for assertion of carrier sense, data loopback, and
collision signals. Carrier sense is not generated when a packet is transmitted and in fullduplex mode.

Error Signals
When the LXT971A PHY is in 100 Mbps mode and receives an invalid symbol from the
network, it asserts RX_ER and drives “0101” on the RXD pins.
When the MAC asserts TX_ER, the LXT971A PHY drives “H” symbols out on the TPFOP/
N pins.
5.6.6
Collision
The LXT971A PHY asserts its collision signal asynchronously to any clock whenever the
line state is half-duplex and the transmitter and receiver are active at the same time.
Table 14 summarizes the conditions for assertion of carrier sense, data loopback, and
collision signals.
5.6.7
Loopback
The LXT971A PHY provides the following loopback functions:
• Section 5.6.7.1, Operational Loopback
• Section 5.6.7.2, Internal Digital Loopback (Test Loopback)
Figure 13 shows LXT971A PHY operational and test loopback paths. (An internal digital
loopback path is not shown.) For more information on loopback functions, see Table 14,

5.6.7.1
Operational Loopback
• Operational loopback is provided for 10 Mbps half-duplex links when register bit 16.8
= 0. Data that the MAC (TXData) transmits loops back on the receive side of the MII
(RXData).
• Operational loopback is not provided for 100 Mbps links, full-duplex links, or when
Register 16.8 = 1.
5.6.7.2
Internal Digital Loopback (Test Loopback)
A test loopback function is provided for diagnostic testing of the LXT971A PHY. During
test loopback, twisted-pair and fiber interfaces are disabled. Data transmitted by the MAC
is internally looped back by the LXT971A PHY and returned to the MAC.
Test loopback is available for both 100BASE-TX and 10BASE-T operation, and is enabled
by setting the following register bits:
• register bit 0.14 = 1 (Setting to enable loopback mode)
• register bit 0.8 = 1 (Setting for full-duplex mode)
• register bit 0.12 = 0 (Disable auto-negotiation)
Test loopback is also available for 100BASE-FX operation. Test loopback in this mode is
enabled by setting register bit 0.14 = 1 and tying the SD input to an LVPECL logic High
value (2.4 V).
Note:
Parallel detection can resolve the PHY configuration.

100BASE-X Network Operations
During 100BASE-X operation, the LXT971A PHY transmits and receives 5-bit symbols
across the network link.
Figure 14 shows the structure of a standard frame packet in 100BASE-X mode. When the
MAC is not actively transmitting data, the LXT971A PHY sends out Idle symbols on the
line.
As Figure 14 shows, the MAC starts each transmission with a preamble pattern. As soon
as the LXT971A PHY detects the start of preamble, it transmits a Start-of-Stream Delimiter
(SSD, symbols J and K) to the network. It then encodes and transmits the rest of the
packet, including the balance of the preamble, the SFD, packet data, and CRC.
Once the packet ends, the LXT971A PHY transmits the End-of-Stream Delimiter (ESD,
symbols T and R) and then returns to transmitting Idle symbols.
For details on the symbols used, see 4B/5B coding listed in Table 15, 4B/5B Coding, on
page 46.

As shown in Figure 15, in 100BASE-TX mode, the LXT971A PHY scrambles and
transmits the data to the network using MLT-3 line code. MLT-3 signals received from the
network are de-scrambled, decoded, and sent across the MII to the MAC.

fiber connection. To enable 100BASE-FX operation, auto-negotiation must be disabled
and fiber mode selected.

100BASE-X Protocol Sublayer Operations
With respect to the 7-layer communications model, the LXT971A PHY is a Physical Layer
1 (PHY) device.
The LXT971A PHY implements the following sublayers of the reference model defined by
the IEEE 802.3 standard, and discussed from the reference model point of view:
• Section 5.7.3.1, Physical Coding Sublayer
• Section 5.7.3.2, Physical Medium Attachment Sublayer
• Section 5.7.3.3, Twisted-Pair Physical Medium Dependent Sublayer
• Section 5.7.3.4, Fiber PMD Sublayer

Physical Coding Sublayer
The Physical Coding Sublayer (PCS) provides the MII interface, as well as the 4B/5B
encoding/decoding function.
For 100BASE-TX and 100BASE-FX operation, the PCS layer provides IDLE symbols to
the PMD-layer line driver as long as TX_EN is de-asserted.

5.7.3.1.1
5.7 100 Mbps Operation
Preamble Handling
When the MAC asserts TX_EN, the PCS substitutes a /J/K symbol pair, also known as the
Start-of-Stream Delimiter (SSD), for the first two nibbles received across the MII. The PCS
layer continues to encode the remaining MII data, following the 4B/5B coding in Table 15,
until TX_EN is de-asserted. It then returns to supplying IDLE symbols to the line driver.
In the receive direction, the PCS layer performs the opposite function, substituting two
preamble nibbles for the SSD. In 100 Mbps operation, preamble is always passed through
the PCS layer to the MII interface.

5.7.3.2
Physical Medium Attachment Sublayer
5.7.3.2.1
Link
In 100 Mbps mode, link is established when the descrambler becomes locked and
remains locked for approximately 50 ms. Link remains up unless the descrambler
receives less than 16 consecutive idle symbols in any 2 ms period. This operation filters
out small noise hits that may disrupt the link.
For short periods, MLT-3 idle waveforms meet all criteria for 10BASE-T start delimiters. A
working 10BASE-T receive may temporarily indicate link to 100BASE-TX waveforms.
However, the PHY does not bring up a permanent 10 Mbps link.
The LXT971A PHY reports link failure through the MII status bits (register bits 1.2 and
17.10) and interrupt functions. Link failure causes the LXT971A PHY to re-negotiate if
auto-negotiation is enabled.
5.7.3.2.2
Link Failure Override
The LXT971A PHY normally transmits data packets only if it detects the link is up. Setting
register bit 16.14 = 1 overrides this function, allowing the LXT971A PHY to transmit data
packets even when the link is down. This feature is provided as a transmit diagnostic tool.
Note:
Auto-negotiation must be disabled to transmit data packets in the absence of link. If autonegotiation is enabled, the LXT971A PHY automatically transmits FLP bursts if the link is
down.
Caution:
During normal operation, Cortina does not recommend setting register bit 16.14 for
100 Mbps receive functions because receive errors may be generated.

5.7.3.2.3
5.7 100 Mbps Operation
Carrier Sense
For 100BASE-TX and 100BASE-FX links, a start-of-stream delimiter (SSD) or /J/K symbol
pair causes assertion of carrier sense (CRS). An end-of-stream delimiter (ESD) or /T/R
symbol pair causes de-assertion of CRS. The PMA layer also de-asserts CRS if IDLE
symbols are received without /T/R. However, in this case RX_ER is asserted for one clock
cycle when CRS is de-asserted.
Cortina does not recommend using CRS for Interframe Gap (IFG) timing for the following
reasons:
• CRS de-assertion time is slightly longer than CRS assertion time. As a result, an IFG
interval appears somewhat shorter to the MAC than it actually is on the wire.
• CRS de-assertion is not aligned with TX_EN de-assertion on transmit loopbacks in
half-duplex mode.
5.7.3.2.4
Receive Data Valid
The LXT971A PHY asserts RX_DV to indicate that the received data maps to valid
symbols. In 100 Mbps operation, RX_DV is active with the first nibble of preamble.
5.7.3.3
Twisted-Pair Physical Medium Dependent Sublayer
The twisted-pair Physical Medium Dependent (PMD) layer provides signal scrambling and
de-scrambling functions, line coding and decoding functions (MLT-3 for 100BASE-TX,
Manchester for 10BASE-T), as well as receiving, polarity correction, and baseline wander
correction functions.
5.7.3.3.1
Scrambler/Descrambler
The purpose of the scrambler/descrambler is to spread the signal power spectrum and
further reduce EMI using an 11-bit, data-independent polynomial. The receiver
automatically decodes the polynomial whenever IDLE symbols are received.
Scrambler Seeding. Once the transmit data (or Idle symbols) are properly encoded, they
are scrambled to further reduce EMI and to spread the power spectrum using an 11-bit
scrambler seed. Five seed bits are determined by the PHY address, and the remaining
bits are hard coded in the design.
Scrambler Bypass. The scrambler/de-scrambler can be bypassed by setting register bit
16.12 = 1.The scrambler is automatically bypassed when the fiber port is enabled.
Scrambler bypass is provided for diagnostic and test support.
5.7.3.3.2
Polarity Correction
The 100 Mbps twisted pair signaling is not polarity sensitive. As a result, the polarity
status is not a valid status indicator.
5.7.3.3.3
Baseline Wander Correction
The LXT971A PHY provides a baseline wander correction function for when the LXT971A
PHY is under network operating conditions. The MLT3 coding scheme used in 100BASETX is by definition “unbalanced”. As a result, the average value of the signal voltage can
“wander” significantly over short time intervals (tenths of seconds). This wander can
cause receiver errors at long-line lengths (100 meters) in less robust designs. Exact
characteristics of the wander are completely data dependent.
The LXT971A PHY baseline wander correction characteristics allow the device to recover
error-free data while receiving worst-case packets over all cable lengths.

5.7.3.3.4
5.8 10 Mbps Operation
Programmable Slew Rate Control
The LXT971A PHY device supports a programmable slew-rate mechanism whereby one
of four pre-selected slew rates can be used. (For details, see Table 62, Transmit Control
Register - Address 30, Hex 1E, on page 93.) The slew-rate mechanism allows the
designer to optimize the output waveform to match the characteristics of the magnetics.
Note:
For hardware control of the slew rate, use the TxSLEW pins.
5.7.3.4
Fiber PMD Sublayer
The LXT971A PHY provides an LVPECL interface for connection to an external 3.3 V or
5 V fiber-optic PHY. (The external PHY provides the PMD function for the optical
medium.) The LXT971A PHY uses a 125 Mbaud NRZI format for the fiber interface and
does not support 10BASE-FL applications.
5.8
10 Mbps Operation
The LXT971A PHY operates as a standard 10BASE-T PHY and LXT971A PHY supports
standard 10 Mbps functions. During 10BASE-T operation, the LXT971A PHY transmits
and receives Xilinks* Manchester-encoded data across the network link. When the MAC
is not actively transmitting data, the LXT971A PHY drives link pulses onto the line.
In 10BASE-T mode, the polynomial scrambler/de-scrambler is inactive. Manchesterencoded signals received from the network are decoded by the LXT971A PHY and sent
across the MII to the MAC.
Note:
The LXT971A PHY does not support fiber connections at 10 Mbps.
5.8.1
10BASE-T Preamble Handling
The LXT971A PHY offers two options for preamble handling, selected by register bit 16.5.
• In 10BASE-T mode when register bit 16.5 = 0, the LXT971A PHY strips the entire
preamble off of received packets. CRS is asserted coincident with the start of the
preamble. RX_DV is held Low for the duration of the preamble. When RX_DV is
asserted, the very first two nibbles driven by the LXT971A PHY are the SFD “5D” hex
followed by the body of the packet.
• In 10BASE-T mode when register bit 16.5 = 1, the LXT971A PHY passes the
preamble through the MII and asserts RX_DV and CRS simultaneously. (In
10BASE-T loopback, the LXT971A PHY loops back whatever the MAC transmits to it,
including the preamble.)
5.8.2
10BASE-T Carrier Sense
For 10BASE-T links, CRS assertion is based on reception of valid preamble, and CRS deassertion is based on reception of an end-of-frame (EOF) marker. register bit 16.7 allows
CRS de-assertion to be synchronized with RX_DV de-assertion. For details, see Table 56,
Configuration Register - Address 16, Hex 10, on page 86.
5.8.3
10BASE-T Dribble Bits
The LXT971A PHY handles dribble bits in all modes. If one to four dribble bits are
received, the nibble is passed across the MII, padded with ones if necessary. If five to
seven dribble bits are received, the second nibble is not sent to the MII bus.

5.8.4
5.9 Monitoring Operations
10BASE-T Link Integrity Test
In 10BASE-T mode, the LXT971A PHY always transmits link pulses.
• If the Link Integrity Test function is enabled (the normal configuration), the LXT971A
PHY monitors the connection for link pulses. Once link pulses are detected, data
transmission is enabled and remains enabled as long as either the link pulses or data
transmission continue. If the link pulses stop, the data transmission is disabled.
• If the Link Integrity Test function is disabled (which can be done by setting
Configuration register bit 16.14 to ‘1’), the LXT971A PHY transmits to the connection
regardless of detected link pulses.
5.8.5
Link Failure
Link failure occurs if the Link Integrity Test is enabled and link pulses or packets stop
being received. If this condition occurs, the LXT971A PHY returns to the auto-negotiation
phase if auto-negotiation is enabled. If the Link Integrity Test function is disabled by
setting Configuration register bit 16.14 to ‘1’, the LXT971A PHY transmits packets,
regardless of link status.
5.8.6
10BASE-T SQE (Heartbeat)
By default, the Signal Quality Error (SQE) or heartbeat function is disabled on the
LXT971A PHY. To enable this function, set register bit 16.9 = 1. When this function is
enabled, the LXT971A PHY asserts its COL output for 5 to 15 bit times (BT) after each
packet. For SQE timing parameters, see Figure 36, 10BASE-T SQE (Heartbeat) Timing,
on page 73.
5.8.7
10BASE-T Jabber
If a transmission exceeds the jabber timer, the LXT971A PHY disables the transmit and
loopback functions. For jabber timing parameters, see Figure 35, 10BASE-T Jabber and
Unjabber Timing, on page 73.
The LXT971A PHY automatically exits jabber mode after the unjabber time has expired.
This function can be disabled by setting register bit 16.10 = 1.
5.8.8
10BASE-T Polarity Correction
The LXT971A PHY automatically detects and corrects for the condition in which the
receive signal (TPFIP/N) is inverted. Reversed polarity is detected if eight inverted link
pulses, or four inverted end-of-frame (EOF) markers, are received consecutively. If link
pulses or data are not received by the maximum receive time-out period (96 to 128 ms),
the polarity state is reset to a non-inverted state.

Monitoring Operations
5.9.1
Monitoring Auto-Negotiation
Auto-negotiation can be monitored as follows:
• register bit 17.7 is set to ‘1’ once the auto-negotiation process is completed.
• register bits 1.2 and 17.10 are set to ‘1’ once the link is established.

5.9 Monitoring Operations
• register bits 17.14 and 17.9 can be used to determine the link operating conditions
(speed and duplex).
Note:
When the LXT971A PHY detects incorrect polarity for a 10BASE-T operation, register bit
17.5 is set to ‘1’.
5.9.2
Monitoring Next Page Exchange
The LXT971A PHY offers an Alternate Next Page mode to simplify the next page
exchange process. Normally, register bit 6.1 (Page Received) remains set until read.
When Alternate Next Page mode is enabled, register bit 6.1 is automatically cleared
whenever a new negotiation process takes place. This action prevents the user from
reading an old value in bit 6.1 and assuming that Registers 5 and 8 (Partner Ability)
contain valid information. Additionally, the LXT971A PHY uses register bit 6.5 to indicate
when the current received page is the base page. This information is useful for
recognizing when next pages must be resent due to a new negotiation process starting.
register bits 6.1 and 6.5 are cleared when read.
5.9.3
LED Functions
The LXT971A PHY has these direct LED driver pins: LED1/CFG1, LED2/CFG2, and
LED3/CFG3.
On power-up, all the drivers are asserted for approximately 1 second after reset deasserts. Each LED driver can be programmed using the LED Configuration Register
(Table 60, LED Configuration Register - Address 20, Hex 14, on page 91) to indicate one
of the following conditions:
• Collision Condition
• Duplex Mode
• Link Status
• Operating Speed
• Receive Activity
• Transmit Activity
The LED drivers can also be programmed to display various combined status conditions.
For example, setting register bits 20.15:12 to ‘1101’ produces the following combination of
Link and Activity indications:
• If Link is down, LED is off. If activity is detected from the MAC, the LED still blinks
even if the link is down.
• If Link is up, LED is on.
• If Link is up and activity is detected, the LED blinks at the stretch interval selected by
register bits 20.3:2 and continues to blink as long as activity is present.
The LXT971A PHY LED driver pins also provide initial configuration settings. The LED
pins are sensitive to polarity and automatically pull up or pull down to configure for either
open drain or open collector circuits (10 mA Max current rating) as required by the
hardware configuration. For details, see the discussion of Section 5.4.4, Hardware
Configuration Settings, on page 33.

5.10 Boundary Scan (JTAG
1149.1) Functions
LED Pulse Stretching
The LED Configuration Register also provides optional LED pulse stretching to 30, 60, or
100 ms. The pulse stretch time is extended further if the event occurs again during this
pulse stretch period.
When an event such as receiving a packet occurs, the event is edge detected and it starts
the stretch timer. The LED driver remains asserted until the stretch timer expires. If
another event occurs before the stretch timer expires, then the stretch timer is reset and
the stretch time is extended.
When a long event (such as duplex status) occurs, the event is edge detected and it starts
the stretch timer. When the stretch timer expires, the edge detector is reset so that a long
event causes another pulse to be generated from the edge detector, which resets the
stretch timer and causes the LED driver to remain asserted.
Figure 21 shows how the stretch operation functions.

Boundary Scan (JTAG 1149.1) Functions
The LXT971A PHY includes a IEEE 1149.1 boundary scan test port for board level
testing. All digital input, output, and input/output pins are accessible.
Note:
For the related BSDL file, contact your local sales office or access the Cortina website
(www.cortina-systems.com).
5.10.1
Boundary Scan Interface
The boundary scan interface consists of five pins (TMS, TDI, TDO, TRST_L, and TCK). It
includes a state machine, data register array, and instruction register. The TMS and TDI
pins are pulled up internally. TCK is pulled down internally. TDO does not have an internal
pull-up or pull-down.
5.10.2
State Machine
The TAP controller is a state machine, with 16 states driven by the TCK and TMS pins.
Upon reset, the TEST_LOGIC_RESET state is entered. The state machine is also reset
when TMS and TDI are high for five TCK periods.

Fiber Interface
The fiber interface consists of an LVPECL transmit and receive pair to an external
fiber-optic PHY. Both 3.3 V fiber-optic PHYs and 5 V fiber-optic PHYs can be used with
the LXT971A PHY. For details on fiber interface designs and recommendations for
Cortina PHYs, see the document on 100BASE-FX fiber optics listed in Section 1.2,
Related Documents.
As shown in Figure 25, the following should occur in 3.3 V fiber PHY applications:
• The transmit pair should be DC-coupled with the 50 Ω/16 Ω pull-up combination.
• The transmit pair should have a 2.74 kΩ pull-down resistor to prevent PHY-to-fiber
PHY crosstalk amplification in power-down, loopback, and reset states. (See the fiber
interface application note.)
• The receive pair should be DC-coupled with an emitter current path for the fiber PHY.
• The signal detect pin should be DC-coupled with an emitter current path for the fiber
PHY.
Figure 25 shows a typical example of an interface between the LXT971A PHY and a 3.3 V
fiber PHY.

1. Refer to the manufacturers’ recommendations for termination circuitry.
The following occurs in 5 V fiber PHY applications as shown in Figure 26:
• The transmit pair should be AC-coupled and re-biased to 5 V PECL input levels.
• The transmit pair should contain a balance offset in the bias resistors to prevent PHYto-fiber PHY crosstalk amplification in power-down, loopback, and reset states. (See
the fiber interface application note.)
• The receive pair should be AC-coupled with an emitter current path for the fiber PHY
and re-biased to 3.3 V LVPECL input levels.
• The signal detect pin on a 5 V fiber PHY interface should use the logic translator
circuitry as shown in Figure 26.
Figure 26 shows a typical example of an interface between the LXT971A PHY and a 5 V
fiber PHY.

1. R/W = Read /Write. RO = Read Only. LH = Latching High
2. Link status is the primary LED driver. The LED is asserted (solid ON) when the link is up.
The secondary LED driver (Receive or Activity) causes the LED to change state (blink).
Activity causes the LED to blink, regardless of the link status.
3. Combined event LED settings are not affected by Pulse Stretch register bit 20.1. These display settings
are stretched regardless of the value of 20.1.
4. Duplex status is the primary LED driver. The LED is asserted (solid ON) when the link is full-duplex.
Collision status is the secondary LED driver. The LED changes state (blinks) when a collision occurs.
5. Values are approximations. Not guaranteed or production tested.
