Functional Description
(continued)
100Base-TX Transceiver
LU3X31T-T64 implements a TP-PMD compliant trans-
ceiver for 100Base-TX operation. The differential trans-
mit driver is shared by the 10Base-T and 100Base-TX
subsystems. This arrangement results in one device
that uses the same external magnetics for both the
10Base-T and the 100Base-TX transmission with sim-
ple RC component connections. The individually wave-
shaped 10Base-T and 100Base-TX transmit signals
are multiplexed in the transmit output driver.
Transmit Drivers
The LU3X31T-T64 100Base-TX transmit driver imple-
ments MLT-3 translation and wave-shaping functions.
The rise/fall time of the output signal is closely con-
trolled to conform to the target range specified in the
ANSITP-PMD standard.
Twisted-Pair Receiver
For 100Base-TX operation, the incoming signal is
detected by the on-chip twisted-pair receiver that com-
prises the differential line receiver, an adaptive equal-
izer, and baseline wander compensation circuits.
The LU3X31T-T64 uses an adaptive equalizer which
changes filter frequency response in accordance with
cable length. The cable length is estimated based on
the incoming signal strength. The equalizer tunes itself
automatically for any cable length to compensate for
amplitude and phase distortions incurred from the
cable.
10Base-T Module
The 10Base-T Transceiver Module is IEEE802.3 com-
pliant. It includes the receiver, transmitter, collision,
heartbeat, loopback, jabber, waveshaper, and link
integrity functions, as defined in the standard. Figure 4
provides an overview for the 10Base-T module.
The LU3X31T-T64 10Base-T module is comprised of
the following functional blocks:
