Transceiver

3.1.1

100BASE-TX TRANSMIT

The 100BASE-TX transmit data path is shown in Figure 3-1. Each major block is explained in the following subsections.

3.1.1.1

100BASE-TX Transmit Data Across the RMII Interface

The MAC controller drives the transmit data onto the TXD bus and asserts TXEN to indicate valid data. The data is

latched by the transceiver’s RMII block on the rising edge of REF_CLK. The data is in the form of 2-bit wide 50 MHz data.

3.1.1.2

4B/5B Encoding

The transmit data passes from the RMII block to the 4B/5B encoder. This block encodes the data from 4-bit nibbles to

5-bit symbols (known as “code-groups”) according to Table 3-1. Each 4-bit data-nibble is mapped to 16 of the 32 pos-

sible code-groups. The remaining 16 code-groups are either used for control information or are not valid.

The first 16 code-groups are referred to by the hexadecimal values of their corresponding data nibbles, 0 through F. The

remaining code-groups are given letter designations with slashes on either side. For example, an IDLE code-group is

/I/, a transmit error code-group is /H/, etc.
