KS8993 Micrel KS8993 3-Port 10/100 Integrated Switch with PHY and Frame Buffer Rev. 2.06 General Description The KS8993 has rich features such as VLAN and priority queuing and is designed to reside in an unmanaged design The KS8993 contains three 10/100 physical layer transceiv- not requiring processor intervention. This is achieved through ers, three MAC (Media Access Control) units with an inte- I/O strapping at system reset time. grated layer 2 switch. The device runs in two modes. The first On the media side, the KS8993 supports 10BaseT, mode is a three port integrated switch and the second is as 100BaseTX and 100BaseFX as specified by the IEEE 802.3 a three port switch with the third port decoupled from the committee. physical port. In this mode access to the third MAC is provided using a reverse or forward MII (Media Independent Interface) Physical signal transmission and reception are enhanced such that an external MAC can be directly connected to the through use of analog circuitry that makes the design more KS8993. This interface also supports the 7-wire (serial net- efficient and allows for lower power consumption and smaller work interface) as used by some routing devices. chip die size. Useful configurations include a stand alone three port switch Data sheets and support documentation can be found on as well as a two port switch with a routing element connected Micrel’s web site at www.micrel.com. to the extra MII port. The additional port is also useful for public network interfacing.

KS8993 Micrel Functional Overview: Physical Layer Transceiver 100BaseTX Transmit The 100BaseTX transmit function performs parallel to serial conversion, 4B/5B coding, scrambling, NRZ to NRZI conversion, MLT3 encoding and transmission. The circuit starts with a parallel to serial conversion, which converts the 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, then transmitted in MLT3 current output. The output current is set by an external 1% 3.01kΩ resistor for the 1:1 transformer ratio. It has a typical rise/fall time of 4ns and complies to the ANSI TP-PMD standard regarding amplitude balance, overshoot and timing jitters. 100BaseTX Receive The 100BaseTX 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 inter-symbol interference (ISI) over the twisted pair cable. Since the amplitude loss and phase distortion is a function of the length of the cable, the equalizer has to adjust its characteristics to optimize the performance. In this design, the variable equalizer will make an initial estimation based on comparisons of incoming signal strength against some known cable characteristics, then tunes itself for optimization. This is an ongoing process and can self adjust against the environmental changes such as temperature variations. The equalized signal then goes through a DC restoration and data conversion block. The DC restoration circuit is used to compensate for the effect of base line wander and 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. The signal is then sent through the de-scrambler followed by the 4B/5B decoder. Finally, the NRZ serial data is provided as the input data to the MAC. PLL Clock Synthesizer The KS8993 generates clocks for the external MII and SNI interface based on the interface type selected. Scrambler/De-scrambler (100BaseTX only) The purpose of the scrambler is to spread the power spectrum of the signal in order to reduce EMI and baseline wander. The data is scrambled by the use of an 11-bit wide linear feedback shift register (LFSR). This can generate a 2047-bit non-repetitive sequence. The receiver will then de-scramble the incoming data stream with the same sequence at the transmitter. 100BaseFX Operation 100BaseFX operation is very similar to 100BaseTX operation with the differences being that the scrambler/de-scrambler and MLT3 encoder/decoder are bypassed on transmission and reception. In this mode the auto-negotiation feature is bypassed since there is no standard that supports fiber auto-negotiation. 100BaseFX Signal Detection The physical port runs in 100BaseFX mode if FXSDx >.6V. This signal is referenced to VREFx which is set at 1/2 Vdd but can be overridden by an external level. VREFx can be connected to the “minus” signal of a differential pair coming from the fiber module (“plus connects to FXSDx) used to convey signal detect. When FXSDx is below .6V then 100BaseFX mode is disabled. 100BaseFX Far End Fault Far end fault occurs when the signal detection is logically false from the receive fiber module. When this occurs, the transmission side signals the other end of the link by sending 84 1’s followed by a zero in the idle period between frames. Far End Fault can be disabled by setting external hardware pin TEST[2]=0 and TEST[1] = float. See “I/O Description” for pin description. 10BaseT Transmit The output 10BaseT driver is incorporated into the 100BaseT driver to allow transmission with the same magnetic. They are internally wave-shaped and pre-emphasized into outputs with a typical 2.2V amplitude. The harmonic contents are at least 27dB below the fundamental when driven by an all-ones Manchester-encoded signal. Special note for 10BaseT operation: With an operating voltage of 2.5V, the KS8993 does not always achieve the specified transmit voltage swing greater than or equal to 2.2V as specified by IEEE 802.3. The important factor however is that the KS8993 does adhere to the specified receive signal voltages using the IEEE twisted pair model with a 100Ω load. The transmit voltage swing can be increased to 2.2V or above by increasing the supply voltage to 2.65V if so desired. 10BaseT Receive On the receive side, input buffer and level detecting squelch circuits are employed. A differential input receiver circuit and a PLL perform the decoding function. The Manchester-encoded data stream is separated into clock signal and NRZ data. A KS8993 16 April 2009

KS8993 Micrel squelch circuit rejects signals with levels less than 400mV or with short pulse widths in order to prevent noises at the RXP or RXM input from falsely triggering the decoder. When the input exceeds the squelch limit, the PLL locks onto the incoming signal and the KS8993 decodes a data frame. The receiver clock is maintained active during idle periods in between data reception. Power Management Power Save Mode The KS8993 will turn off everything except for the Energy Detect and PLL circuits when the cable is not installed on an individual port basis. In other words, the KS8993 will shutdown most of the internal circuits to save power if there is no link. An additional features are available: Transmit Disable for Port 1 set external pin MUX[1]=1 and MUX[2] = Float Transmit Disable for Port 2 set external pin MUX[1]=0 and MUX[2] = Float Power Down on Port 3 set external pin MUX[1]=float and MUX[2] = 1 See “I/O Description” section for pin description.

LED Mode Selection Auto-Negotiation The KS8993 conforms to the auto-negotiation protocol as described by the 802.3 committee. Auto-negotiation allows UTP (Unshielded Twisted Pair) link partners to select the best common mode of operation. In auto-negotiation the link partners advertise capabilities across the link to each other. If auto-negotiation is not supported or the link partner to the KS8993 is forced to bypass auto-negotiation, then the mode is set by observing the signal at the receiver. This is known as parallel mode because while the transmitter is sending auto-negotiation advertisements, the receiver is listening for advertisements or a fixed signal protocol.

KS8993 Micrel Functional Overview: Switch Core Address Look-Up The internal look-up table stores MAC addresses and their associated information. It contains 1K full CAM with 48-bit address plus switching information. The KS8993 is guaranteed to learn 1K addresses and distinguishes itself from hash-based look- up tables which, depending on the operating environment and probabilities, may not guarantee the absolute number of addresses it can learn. Learning The internal look-up engine will update its table with a new entry if the following conditions are met: • The received packet’s SA does not exist in the look-up table. • The received packet is good; the packet has no receiving errors, and is of legal length. The look-up engine will insert the qualified SA into the table, along with the port number, time stamp. If the table is full, the last entry of the table will be deleted first to make room for the new entry. Migration The internal look-up engine also monitors whether a station is moved. If it happens, it will update the table accordingly. Migration happens when the following conditions are met: • The received packet’s SA is in the table but the associated source port information is different. • The received packet is good; the packet has no receiving errors, and is of legal length. The look-up engine will update the existing record in the table with the new source port information. Aging The look-up engine will update time stamp information of a record whenever the corresponding SA appears. The time stamp is used in the aging process. If a record is not updated for a period of time, the look-up engine will then remove the record from the table. The look-up engine constantly performs the aging process and will continuously remove aging records. The aging period is approximately 300 seconds ±75 sec. This feature can be enabled or disabled by external pull-up or pull-down resistors. If aging is disabled and look-up table is full, KS8993 will remove the largest address in the table which has been sorted by the binary search. Forwarding The KS8993 will forward packets as follows: • If the DA look-up results is a “match”, the KS8993 will use the destination port information to determine where the packet goes. • If the DA look-up result is a “miss”, the KS8993 will forward the packet to all other ports except the port that received the packet. • All the multicast and broadcast packets will be forwarded to all other ports except the source port. The KS8993 will not forward the following packets: • Error packets. These include framing errors, FCS errors, alignment errors, and illegal size packet errors. • 802.3x pause frames. The KS8993 will intercept these packets and do the appropriate actions. • “Local” packets. Based on destination address (DA) look-up. If the destination port from the look-up table matches the port where the packet was from, the packet is defined as “local”. Switching Engine The KS8993 has a very high performance switching engine to move data to and from the MAC’s, packet buffers. It operates in store and forward mode, while the efficient switching mechanism reduces overall latency. The KS8993 has an internal buffer for frames that is 16kx32 (64kB). This resource is shared between the three ports. Buffer sizing per port can be programmed at system reset time by using the unmanaged program mode (I/O strapping). Each buffer is sized at 128B and therefore there are a total of 512 buffers available. A per port maximum can be set at 170 buffers (equal allocation). There is also an adaptive mode that reacts to port traffic. In the adaptive mode any given port may use up to 256 buffers provided that the other ports are lightly loaded. In the event of heavier loading on other ports the limit is 170 buffers. MAC (Media Access Controller) Operation The KS8993 strictly abides by IEEE 802.3 standard to maximize compatibility and interoperability with other vendors. Inter Packet Gap (IPG) If a frame is successfully transmitted, the 96 bit time IPG is measured between the two consecutive MTXEN. If the current packet is experiencing collision, the 96 bit time IPG is measured from MCRS and the next MTXEN. KS8993 18 April 2009

KS8993 Micrel Back off Algorithm The KS8993 implements the IEEE Std 802.3 binary exponential back-off algorithm, and optional “aggressive mode” back off. After 16 collisions, the packet will be optionally dropped depending on the chip configuration. Late Collision If a transmit packet experiences collisions after 512-bit times of the transmission, the packet will be dropped. Illegal Frames The KS8993 will discard illegal size frames defined by the IEEE Std 802.3u, including short frames (less than 64 bytes), long frames (greater than 1522 bytes), and FCS error frames. The KS8993 treats VLAN tagged frames as regular frames and does not perform any VLAN related functions. Switches built with the KS8993’s should be treated as a single VLAN domain. KS8993 will drop VLAN frames if the size is larger than 1522 bytes and drop non-VLAN frames if the size is larger than 1518 bytes. Note that in a special mode, frame lengths of up to 1536 bytes are accepted. This is controlled by MODESEL[3:0]. See “I/O Descriptions” section for more details. Flow Control KS8993 supports standard 802.3x flow control frames for full-duplex mode and back-pressure for half-duplex. Full-Duplex Flow Control (IEEE 802.3x standard) The flow control capabilities of the KS8993 are enabled based upon the results of the auto-negotiation. During the auto- negotiation, 10/100BaseTX port of KS8993 will advertise this feature to the Link Partner. KS8993 will only establish flow control if the Link Partner has the flow control capability. Since 100BaseFX does not support auto-negotiation, 100BaseFX port will not advertise flow control to the Link Partner. On the receive side, if the KS8993 receives a pause control frame, the KS8993 will not transmit the next normal frame until the timer, specified in the pause control frame, expires. If another pause frame is received before the current timer expires, the timer will be updated with the new value in the second pause frame. During this period (being flow controlled), only flow control packets from the KS8993 will be transmitted. On the transmit side, the KS8993 has intelligent and efficient ways to determine when to invoke flow control. The flow control is based on availability of the system resources, including available buffers, available transmit queues and available receive queues. The KS8993 will flow control a port, which just received a packet, if the destination port resource is being used up. The KS8993 will issue a flow control frame (XOFF), containing the maximum pause time defined in IEEE standard 802.3x. Once the resource is freed up, the KS8993 will send out the other flow control frame (XON) with zero pause time to turn off the flow control (turn on transmission to the port). A hysterisis feature is provided to prevent flow control mechanism from being activated and deactivated too many times. The KS8993 will flow control all ports if the receive queue becomes full. Take a special note that flow control for 100BaseFX or 10/100BaseTX full-duplex can be forced regardless of auto-negotiation result. This force flow control feature on port 1, 2 or 3 can be enabled and disabled via external pin FFLOW#1, FFLOW#2 and LED[1][2] respectively. Half-Duplex Back Pressure Half-duplex Back Pressure option (Note: not in 802.3 standards) is also provided. The activation and deactivation conditions are the same as the above in full-duplex mode. If back pressure is required, the KS8993 will send preambles to defer other stations’ transmission (carrier sense deference). To avoid jabber and excessive deference defined in 802.3 standard, after a certain time it will discontinue the carrier sense but it will raise the carrier sense quickly. This short silent time (no carrier sense) is to prevent other stations from sending out packets and keeps other stations in carrier sense deferred state. If the port has packets to send during a back pressure situation, the carrier sense type back pressure will be interrupted and those packets will be transmitted instead. If there are no more packets to send, carrier sense type back pressure will be active again until switch resources free up. If a collision occurs, the binary exponential back-off algorithm is skipped and carrier sense is generated immediately, reducing the chance of further colliding and maintaining carrier sense to prevent reception of packets. This scheme is better than collision based back pressure. VLAN Support Each port is associated with a 3-bit Port VLAN mask register (PV) (P1_V: (PV13, PV12, 1), P2_V: (PV23, 1, PV21), P3_V: (1, PV32, PV31)). Based on the receiving port’s PV, a broadcast packet will be sent to all the ports that have their mask bit set to one, excluding the source port. In other words, broadcast packets will be confined in the VLAN specified in the PV. A unicast packet, which is destined to a port not specified in the PV, could be optionally filtered (depends on the strapped in value during power up, VLAN Mismatch DIScard). The following is a typical set up for a router/switch combo application, in which port 3 is a router port: April 2009 19 KS8993

KS8993 Micrel P1_V : (1,0,1) P2_V : (1,1,0) P3_V : (1,1,1) In the above setting, there are two VLANs. VLAN 1 includes ports 1,3 and VLAN 2 includes ports 2, 3. Port 3 belongs to both VLANs. If vmdis = 1, port 1 can never talk to port 2. Port 3 has to route all the traffic across the two VLANs. If vmdis = 0 and there are unicast packets, all ports can talk to all others. If vmdis = 0 and there are multicast packets, those packets are confined in the same VLAN. The router can take advantage of the “vmdis = 0” feature, acting as an agent to handle broadcast/multicast protocol, while leaving unicast switching task to KS8993. For example, port 1 sends an “ARP” for the port 2 MAC address. Since port 2 cannot receive the ARP, the attached router on port 3 will act as an agent and report the MAC address of port 2 to port 1. Then all the unicast traffic between port 1 and port 2 could be switched by KS8993, instead of by the router port. This application could enable “wire speed” switching/routing. This feature is sometimes called “leaky VLAN”. This leaky VLAN does improve the system performance by separating broadcast domains. Note KS8993 does not support “duplicated MAC addresses” in different VLANs to save MAC table size. QoS Priority Support This feature provides QoS for applications such as VOIP, video conferencing, and mission critical applications. The KS8993 per port transmit queue could be split into two priority queues, high priority and low priority queues. The splitting feature could be optionally per port enabled (using pin Px_TXQ2). If a port is split, high priority packets will be put in the high priority queue. If a port’s transmit queue is not split, high priority and low priority packets will be treated equally. There are four priority schemes (selected by pins PRSEL1 and PRSEL0): (1), transmit high priority packets always before low priority packets, i.e. A low priority packet could be transmitted only when the high priority queue is empty. (2), 10/1 ratio, transmit a low priority after every 10 high priority packets transmitted if both queues are busy. (3), 5/1 ratio, (4) 2/1 ratio. Incoming packet priority could be classified in two ways, port-based or 802.1p. Port based priority: Each port could be individually specified as a high priority receiving port (using pin Px_PP). All the packets received at the high priority receiving port will be marked high priority and sent to the high priority transmit queue if the corresponding queue is split. 802.1p based priority: 802.1p based priority could be enabled by pins Px_1PEN. KS8993 will examine incoming packets to determine whether they are tagged and retrieve the corresponding priority information. The priority field in the VLAN tag is 3 bits wide and is compared against “priority base value specified by pins (PBASE[2:0]). If a received packet has an equal or larger priority value than the “priority base” value, the packet will be put in the high priority transmit queue if the corresponding queue is split. KS8993 can optionally remove or insert priority tagged frame’s header (2 bytes of tag protocol identifier 0x8100 and 2 bytes of tag control information). If a transmitting port has its corresponding Px_TAGINS set (meaning tag insertion), the transmitting logic will automatically insert “priority tag” for untagged packets with NULL VLAN ID and its priority value (7 for high priority and 0 for low priority). For already tagged packets, KS8993 will pass the original packet without changing its tag content. If a transmitting port has its corresponding Px_TAGRM set (meaning tag removal), the transmitting logic will automatically remove “802.1q tag”. For untagged packets, KS8993 will pass the original packet without changing any content. Either tag insertion or removal will cause CRC recalculation. KS8993 20 April 2009

KS8993 Micrel MII Interface Operation The MII (Media Independent Interface) operates in either a forward or reverse mode. In the forward mode, the KS8993 MII acts like a MAC and in the reverse mode, it acts like a PHY device. This interface is specified by the IEEE 802.3 committee and provides a common interface between physical layer and MAC layer devices. There are two distinct groups, one being for transmission and the other for receiving. The table below describes the signals used in this interface in forward and reverse modes. This interface is a nibble wide data interface and therefore runs at 1/4 the network bit rate (not encoded). Additional signals on the transmit side indicate when data is valid or when an error occurs during transmission. Likewise, the receive side has indicators that convey when the data is valid and without physical layer errors. For half-duplex operation there is a signal that indicates a collision has occurred during transmission. Note that the signal MRXER is not provided on the MII interface for the KS8993 for reverse operation and MTXER is not represented for forward mode. Normally this would indicate a receive / transmit error coming from the physical layer /MAC device, but is not appropriate for this configuration. If the connecting device has a MRXER pin, this should be tied low on the other device for reverse or if it has a MTXER pin in the forward mode it should also be tied low on the other device.

KS8993 Micrel SNI Interface (7-wire) Operation The SNI (Serial Network Interface) is intended to interface with some controllers used for network layer protocol processing. KS8993 acts like a PHY device to external controllers. This interface can be directly connected to these type of devices. The signals are divided into two groups, one being for transmission and the other being the receive side. The signals involved are described in the table below. This interface is a bit wide data interface and therefore runs at the network bit rate (not encoded). An additional signal on the transmit side indicates when data is valid. Likewise, the receive side has an indicator that conveys when the data is valid. For half-duplex operation there is a signal that indicates a collision has occurred during transmission.

Recommended Circuit for Interfacing with CPU/FPGA Reset At power-on-reset, R, C, and D1 provide the necessary ramp rise time to reset the Micrel device. The reset out from CPU/FPGA provides warm reset after power up. It is also recommended to power up the VDD core voltage earlier than VDDIO voltage. At worst case, the both VDD core and VDDIO voltages should come up at the same time. KS8993 30 April 2009

KS8993 Micrel 4B/5B Coding In 100BaseTX and 100BaseFX the data and frame control are encoded in the transmitter (and decoded in the receiver) using a 4B/5B code. The extra code space is required to encode extra control (frame delineation) points. It is also used to reduce run length as well as supply sufficient transitions for clock recovery. The table below provides the translation for the 4B/5B coding. Code Type 4B Code 5B Code Value Data 0000 11110 Data value 0 0001 01001 Data value 1 0010 10100 Data value 2 0011 10101 Data value 3 0100 01010 Data value 4 0101 01011 Data value 5 0110 01110 Data value 6 0111 01111 Data value 7 1000 10010 Data value 8 1001 10011 Data value 9 1010 10110 Data value A 1011 10111 Data value B 1100 11010 Data value C 1101 11011 Data value D 1110 11100 Data value E 1111 11101 Data value F Control Not defined 11111 Idle 0101 11000 Start delimiter part 1 0101 10001 Start delimiter part 2 Not defined 01101 End delimiter part 1 Not defined 00111 End delimiter part 2 Not defined 00100 Transmit error Invalid Not defined 00000 Invalid code Not defined 00001 Invalid code Not defined 00010 Invalid code Not defined 00011 Invalid code Not defined 00101 Invalid code Not defined 00110 Invalid code Not defined 01000 Invalid code Not defined 01100 Invalid code Not defined 10000 Invalid code Not defined 11001 Invalid code Table 10. 4B/5B Coding April 2009 31 KS8993

KS8993 Micrel MLT3 Coding For 100BaseTX operation the NRZI (Non-Return to Zero Invert on ones) signal is line coded as MLT3. The net result of using MLT3 is to reduce the EMI (Electro Magnetic Interference) of the signal over twisted pair media. In NRZI coding, the level changes from high to low or low to high for every “1” bit. For a “0” bit there is no transition. MLT3 line coding transitions through three distinct levels. For every transition of the NRZI signal the MLT3 signal either increments or decrements depending on the current state of the signal. For instance if the MLT3 level is at its lowest point the next two NRZI transitions will change the MLT3 signal initially to the middle level followed by the highest level (second NRZI transition). On the next NRZI change, the MLT3 level will decrease to the middle level. On the following transition of the NRZI signal the MLT3 level will move to the lowest level where the cycle repeats. The diagram below describes the level changes. Note that in the actual 100BaseTX circuit there is a scrambling circuit and that scrambling is not shown in this diagram.

KS8993 Micrel Selection of Isolation Transformer(Note 1) One simple 1:1 isolation transformer is needed at the line interface. An isolation transformer with integrated common-mode choke is recommended for exceeding FCC requirements. The following table gives recommended transformer characteristics. Characteristics Name Value Test Condition Turns Ratio 1 CT : 1 CT Open-Circuit Inductance (min.) 350µH 100mV, 100 KHz, 8mA Leakage Inductance (max.) 0.4µH 1MHz (min.) Inter-Winding Capacitance (max.) 12pF D.C. Resistance (max.) 0.9Ω Insertion Loss (max.) 1.0dB 0MHz to 65MHz HIPOT (min.) 1500Vrms Note 1. The IEEE 802.3u standard for 100BaseTX assumes a transformer loss of 0.5 dB. For the transmit line transformer, insertion loss of up to 1.3dB can be compensated by increasing the line drive current by means of reducing the ISET resistor value. Selection of Reference Crystal An oscillator or crystal with the following typical characteristics is recommended. Characteristics Name Value Units Frequency 25.00000 MHz Frequency Tolerance (max.) ±100 ppm The following transformer vendors provide pin-to-pin compatible parts for Micrel’s device: Type Quad Single Vendor Part Vendor Part Transformer only Pulse H1060 Pulse H1012 YCL PH406080 YCL 20PMT04 Trans-Power HB826-10 Trans-Power HB614-1-LP Integrated RJ45 and Transformer Trans-Power RJG4-754-C-NL Trans-Power RJ754-C-NL Table 12.
