General Description
The LAN8710/LAN8710i is a low-power 10BASE-T/100BASE-TX physical layer (PHY) transceiver that
transmits and receives on unshielded twisted-pair cable. A typical system application is shown in
Figure 1.2. It is available in both extended commercial and industrial temperature operating versions.
The LAN8710/LAN8710i interfaces to the MAC layer using a variable voltage digital interface via the
standard MII (IEEE 802.3u). Support for RMII makes a reduced pin-count interface available. The
digital interface pins are tolerant to 3.6V.
The LAN8710/LAN8710i implements Auto-Negotiation to automatically determine the best possible
speed and duplex mode of operation. HP Auto-MDIX support allows using a direct connect LAN cable,
or a cross-over path cable.
The LAN8710 referenced throughout this document applies to both the extended commercial
temperature and industrial temperature components. The LAN8710i refers to only the industrial
temperature component.

Architectural Overview
The LAN8710/LAN8710i is compliant with IEEE 802.3-2005 standards (MII Pins tolerant to 3.6V) and
supports both IEEE 802.3-2005 compliant and vendor-specific register functions. It contains a full-
duplex 10-BASE-T/100BASE-TX transceiver and supports 10-Mbps (10BASE-T) operation, and 100-
Mbps (100BASE-TX) operation. The LAN8710/LAN8710i can be configured to operate on a single 3.3V
supply utilizing an integrated 3.3V to 1.2V linear regulator. An option is available to disable the linear
regulator to optimize system designs that have a 1.2V power supply available. This allows for the use
of a high efficiency external regulator for lower system power dissipation.
1.3.1
Configuration
The LAN8710 will begin normal operation following reset, and no register access is required. The initial
register-selectable configuration options may be used to further define the functionality of the
transceiver. For example, the device can be set to 10BASE-T only. The LAN8710 supports both IEEE
802.3-2005 compliant and vendor-specific register functions.

100M Transmit Data Across the MII/RMII Interface
For MII, 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 MII block on the rising edge of TXCLK. The data
is in the form of 4-bit wide 25MHz data.
For RMII, 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 50MHz data.

4.2.2
4B/5B Encoding
The transmit data passes from the MII 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 4.1. Each 4-bit data-nibble
is mapped to 16 of the 32 possible 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.
The encoding process may be bypassed by clearing bit 6 of register 31. When the encoding is
th
bypassed the 5 transmit data bit is equivalent to TXER.
Note that encoding can be bypassed only when the MAC interface is configured to operate in MII
mode.

4.2.3
Scrambling
Repeated data patterns (especially the IDLE code-group) can have power spectral densities with large
narrow-band peaks. Scrambling the data helps eliminate these peaks and spread the signal power
more uniformly over the entire channel bandwidth. This uniform spectral density is required by FCC
regulations to prevent excessive EMI from being radiated by the physical wiring.
The seed for the scrambler is generated from the transceiver address, PHYAD[4:0], ensuring that in
multiple-transceiver applications, such as repeaters or switches, each transceiver will have its own
scrambler sequence.
The scrambler also performs the Parallel In Serial Out conversion (PISO) of the data.
4.2.4
4.2.5
NRZI and MLT3 Encoding
The scrambler block passes the 5-bit wide parallel data to the NRZI converter where it becomes a
serial 125MHz NRZI data stream. The NRZI is encoded to MLT-3. MLT3 is a tri-level code where a
change in the logic level represents a code bit “1” and the logic output remaining at the same level
represents a code bit “0”.
100M Transmit Driver
The MLT3 data is then passed to the analog transmitter, which drives the differential MLT-3 signal, on
outputs TXP and TXN, to the twisted pair media across a 1:1 ratio isolation transformer. The 10Base-
T and 100Base-TX signals pass through the same transformer so that common “magnetics” can be
used for both. The transmitter drives into the 100Ω impedance of the CAT-5 cable. Cable termination
and impedance matching require external components.

4.3.1
100M Receive Input
The MLT-3 from the cable is fed into the transceiver (on inputs RXP and RXN) via a 1:1 ratio
transformer. The ADC samples the incoming differential signal at a rate of 125M samples per second.
Using a 64-level quanitizer it generates 6 digital bits to represent each sample. The DSP adjusts the
gain of the ADC according to the observed signal levels such that the full dynamic range of the ADC
can be used.
4.3.2
Equalizer, Baseline Wander Correction and Clock and Data Recovery
The 6 bits from the ADC are fed into the DSP block. The equalizer in the DSP section compensates
for phase and amplitude distortion caused by the physical channel consisting of magnetics, connectors,
and CAT- 5 cable. The equalizer can restore the signal for any good-quality CAT-5 cable between 1m
and 150m.
If the DC content of the signal is such that the low-frequency components fall below the low frequency
pole of the isolation transformer, then the droop characteristics of the transformer will become
significant and Baseline Wander (BLW) on the received signal will result. To prevent corruption of the
received data, the transceiver corrects for BLW and can receive the ANSI X3.263-1995 FDDI TP-PMD
defined “killer packet” with no bit errors.
The 100M PLL generates multiple phases of the 125MHz clock. A multiplexer, controlled by the timing
unit of the DSP, selects the optimum phase for sampling the data. This is used as the received
recovered clock. This clock is used to extract the serial data from the received signal.

4.3.4
NRZI and MLT-3 Decoding
The DSP generates the MLT-3 recovered levels that are fed to the MLT-3 converter. The MLT-3 is then
converted to an NRZI data stream.
Descrambling
The descrambler performs an inverse function to the scrambler in the transmitter and also performs
the Serial In Parallel Out (SIPO) conversion of the data.
During reception of IDLE (/I/) symbols. the descrambler synchronizes its descrambler key to the
incoming stream. Once synchronization is achieved, the descrambler locks on this key and is able to
descramble incoming data.
Special logic in the descrambler ensures synchronization with the remote transceiver by searching for
IDLE symbols within a window of 4000 bytes (40us). This window ensures that a maximum packet size
of 1514 bytes, allowed by the IEEE 802.3 standard, can be received with no interference. If no IDLE-
symbols are detected within this time-period, receive operation is aborted and the descrambler re-starts
the synchronization process.
The descrambler can be bypassed by setting bit 0 of register 31.
4.3.5
4.3.6
Alignment
The de-scrambled signal is then aligned into 5-bit code-groups by recognizing the /J/K/ Start-of-Stream
Delimiter (SSD) pair at the start of a packet. Once the code-word alignment is determined, it is stored
and utilized until the next start of frame.
5B/4B Decoding
The 5-bit code-groups are translated into 4-bit data nibbles according to the 4B/5B table. The
translated data is presented on the RXD[3:0] signal lines. The SSD, /J/K/, is translated to “0101 0101”
as the first 2 nibbles of the MAC preamble. Reception of the SSD causes the transceiver to assert the
RXDV signal, indicating that valid data is available on the RXD bus. Successive valid code-groups are
translated to data nibbles. Reception of either the End of Stream Delimiter (ESD) consisting of the /T/R/
symbols, or at least two /I/ symbols causes the transceiver to de-assert carrier sense and RXDV.
These symbols are not translated into data.
The decoding process may be bypassed by clearing bit 6 of register 31. When the decoding is
th
bypassed the 5 receive data bit is driven out on RXER/RXD4/PHYAD0. Decoding may be bypassed
only when the MAC interface is in MII mode.
4.3.7
Receive Data Valid Signal
The Receive Data Valid signal (RXDV) indicates that recovered and decoded nibbles are being
presented on the RXD[3:0] outputs synchronous to RXCLK. RXDV becomes active after the /J/K/
delimiter has been recognized and RXD is aligned to nibble boundaries. It remains active until either
the /T/R/ delimiter is recognized or link test indicates failure or SIGDET becomes false.
RXDV is asserted when the first nibble of translated /J/K/ is ready for transfer over the Media
Independent Interface (MII mode).

Receiver Errors
During a frame, unexpected code-groups are considered receive errors. Expected code groups are the
DATA set (0 through F), and the /T/R/ (ESD) symbol pair. When a receive error occurs, the RXER
signal is asserted and arbitrary data is driven onto the RXD[3:0] lines. Should an error be detected
during the time that the /J/K/ delimiter is being decoded (bad SSD error), RXER is asserted true and
the value ‘1110’ is driven onto the RXD[3:0] lines. Note that the Valid Data signal is not yet asserted
when the bad SSD error occurs.
100M Receive Data Across the MII/RMII Interface
In MII mode, the 4-bit data nibbles are sent to the MII block. These data nibbles are clocked to the
controller at a rate of 25MHz. The controller samples the data on the rising edge of RXCLK. To ensure
that the setup and hold requirements are met, the nibbles are clocked out of the transceiver on the
falling edge of RXCLK. RXCLK is the 25MHz output clock for the MII bus. It is recovered from the
received data to clock the RXD bus. If there is no received signal, it is derived from the system
reference clock (XTAL1/CLKIN).
When tracking the received data, RXCLK has a maximum jitter of 0.8ns (provided that the jitter of the
input clock, XTAL1/CLKIN, is below 100ps).
In RMII mode, the 2-bit data nibbles are sent to the RMII block. These data nibbles are clocked to the
controller at a rate of 50MHz. The controller samples the data on the rising edge of XTAL1/CLKIN
(REF_CLK). To ensure that the setup and hold requirements are met, the nibbles are clocked out of
the transceiver on the falling edge of XTAL1/CLKIN (REF_CLK).
4.4
10Base-T Transmit
Data to be transmitted comes from the MAC layer controller. The 10Base-T transmitter receives 4-bit
nibbles from the MII at a rate of 2.5MHz and converts them to a 10Mbps serial data stream. The data
stream is then Manchester-encoded and sent to the analog transmitter, which drives a signal onto the
twisted pair via the external magnetics.
The 10M transmitter uses the following blocks:
„
„
„
„
MII (digital)
TX 10M (digital)
10M Transmitter (analog)
10M PLL (analog)
4.4.1
10M Transmit Data Across the MII/RMII Interface
The MAC controller drives the transmit data onto the TXD BUS. For MII, when the controller has driven
TXEN high to indicate valid data, the data is latched by the MII block on the rising edge of TXCLK.
The data is in the form of 4-bit wide 2.5MHz data.

In order to comply with legacy 10Base-T MAC/Controllers, in Half-duplex mode the transceiver loops
back the transmitted data, on the receive path. This does not confuse the MAC/Controller since the
COL signal is not asserted during this time. The transceiver also supports the SQE (Heartbeat) signal.
For RMII, TXD[1:0] shall transition synchronously with respect to REF_CLK. When TXEN is asserted,
TXD[1:0] are accepted for transmission by the LAN8710/LAN8710i. TXD[1:0] shall be “00” to indicate
idle when TXEN is deasserted. Values of TXD[1:0] other than “00” when TXEN is deasserted are
reserved for out-of-band signalling (to be defined). Values other than “00” on TXD[1:0] while TXEN is
deasserted shall be ignored by the LAN8710/LAN8710i.TXD[1:0] shall provide valid data for each
REF_CLK period while TXEN is asserted.
4.4.2
Manchester Encoding
The 4-bit wide data is sent to the TX10M block. The nibbles are converted to a 10Mbps serial NRZI
data stream. The 10M PLL locks onto the external clock or internal oscillator and produces a 20MHz
clock. This is used to Manchester encode the NRZ data stream. When no data is being transmitted
(TXEN is low), the TX10M block outputs Normal Link Pulses (NLPs) to maintain communications with
the remote link partner.
4.4.3
10M Transmit Drivers
The Manchester encoded data is sent to the analog transmitter where it is shaped and filtered before
being driven out as a differential signal across the TXP and TXN outputs.
4.5
10Base-T Receive
The 10Base-T receiver gets the Manchester- encoded analog signal from the cable via the magnetics.
It recovers the receive clock from the signal and uses this clock to recover the NRZI data stream. This
10M serial data is converted to 4-bit data nibbles which are passed to the controller across the MII at
a rate of 2.5MHz.
This 10M receiver uses the following blocks:
„
„
„
„
Filter and SQUELCH (analog)
10M PLL (analog)
RX 10M (digital)
MII (digital)
4.5.1
4.5.2
10M Receive Input and Squelch
The Manchester signal from the cable is fed into the transceiver (on inputs RXP and RXN) via 1:1 ratio
magnetics. It is first filtered to reduce any out-of-band noise. It then passes through a SQUELCH
circuit. The SQUELCH is a set of amplitude and timing comparators that normally reject differential
voltage levels below 300mV and detect and recognize differential voltages above 585mV.
Manchester Decoding
The output of the SQUELCH goes to the RX10M block where it is validated as Manchester encoded
data. The polarity of the signal is also checked. If the polarity is reversed (local RXP is connected to
RXN of the remote partner and vice versa), then this is identified and corrected. The reversed condition
is indicated by the flag “XPOL“, bit 4 in register 27. The 10M PLL is locked onto the received
Manchester signal and from this, generates the received 20MHz clock. Using this clock, the
Manchester encoded data is extracted and converted to a 10MHz NRZI data stream. It is then
converted from serial to 4-bit wide parallel data.
The RX10M block also detects valid 10Base-T IDLE signals - Normal Link Pulses (NLPs) - to maintain
the link.

10M Receive Data Across the MII/RMII Interface
For MII, the 4 bit data nibbles are sent to the MII block. In MII mode, these data nibbles are valid on
the rising edge of the 2.5 MHz RXCLK.
For RMII, the 2bit data nibbles are sent to the RMII block. In RMII mode, these data nibbles are valid
on the rising edge of the RMII REF_CLK.
Jabber Detection
Jabber is a condition in which a station transmits for a period of time longer than the maximum
permissible packet length, usually due to a fault condition, that results in holding the TXEN input for a
long period. Special logic is used to detect the jabber state and abort the transmission to the line, within
45ms. Once TXEN is deasserted, the logic resets the jabber condition.
4.6
MAC Interface
The MII/RMII block is responsible for the communication with the controller. Special sets of hand-shake
signals are used to indicate that valid received/transmitted data is present on the 4 bit receive/transmit
bus.
The device must be configured in MII or RMII mode. This is done by specific pin strapping
configurations.
See Section 4.6.3, "MII vs. RMII Configuration," on page 27 for information on pin strapping and how
the pins are mapped differently.
4.6.1
MII
The MII includes 16 interface signals:
„
„
„
„
„
„
„
„
„
„
transmit data - TXD[3:0]
transmit strobe - TXEN
transmit clock - TXCLK
transmit error - TXER/TXD4
receive data - RXD[3:0]
receive strobe - RXDV
receive clock - RXCLK
receive error - RXER/RXD4/PHYAD0
collision indication - COL
carrier sense - CRS
In MII mode, on the transmit path, the transceiver drives the transmit clock, TXCLK, to the controller.
The controller synchronizes the transmit data to the rising edge of TXCLK. The controller drives TXEN
high to indicate valid transmit data. The controller drives TXER high when a transmit error is detected.
On the receive path, the transceiver drives both the receive data, RXD[3:0], and the RXCLK signal.
The controller clocks in the receive data on the rising edge of RXCLK when the transceiver drives
RXDV high. The transceiver drives RXER high when a receive error is detected.
4.6.2
RMII

intended for use between Ethernet transceivers and Switch ASICs. Under IEEE 802.3, an MII

comprised of 16 pins for data and control is defined. In devices incorporating many MACs or
transceiver interfaces such as switches, the number of pins can add significant cost as the port counts
increase. The management interface (MDIO/MDC) is identical to MII. The RMII interface has the
following characteristics:
„
„
„
„
It is capable of supporting 10Mb/s and 100Mb/s data rates
A single clock reference is used for both transmit and receive.
It provides independent 2 bit wide (di-bit) transmit and receive data paths
It uses LVCMOS signal levels, compatible with common digital CMOS ASIC processes
The RMII includes 6 interface signals with one of the signals being optional:
„
„
„
„
„
„
transmit data - TXD[1:0]
transmit strobe - TXEN
receive data - RXD[1:0]
receive error - RXER (Optional)
carrier sense - CRS_DV
Reference Clock - (RMII references usually define this signal as REF_CLK)
4.6.2.1
CRS_DV - Carrier Sense/Receive Data Valid
The CRS_DV is asserted by the LAN8710/LAN8710i when the receive medium is non-idle. CRS_DV
is asserted asynchronously on detection of carrier due to the criteria relevant to the operating mode.
That is, in 10BASE-T mode, when squelch is passed or in 100BASE-X mode when 2 non-contiguous
zeroes in 10 bits are detected, carrier is said to be detected.
Loss of carrier shall result in the deassertion of CRS_DV synchronous to the cycle of REF_CLK which
presents the first di-bit of a nibble onto RXD[1:0] (i.e. CRS_DV is deasserted only on nibble
boundaries). If the LAN8710/LAN8710i has additional bits to be presented on RXD[1:0] following the
initial deassertion of CRS_DV, then the LAN8710/LAN8710i shall assert CRS_DV on cycles of
REF_CLK which present the second di-bit of each nibble and de-assert CRS_DV on cycles of
REF_CLK which present the first di-bit of a nibble. The result is: Starting on nibble boundaries
CRS_DV toggles at 25 MHz in 100Mb/s mode and 2.5 MHz in 10Mb/s mode when CRS ends before
RXDV (i.e. the FIFO still has bits to transfer when the carrier event ends.) Therefore, the MAC can
accurately recover RXDV and CRS.
During a false carrier event, CRS_DV shall remain asserted for the duration of carrier activity. The data
on RXD[1:0] is considered valid once CRS_DV is asserted. However, since the assertion of CRS_DV
is asynchronous relative to REF_CLK, the data on RXD[1:0] shall be “00” until proper receive signal
decoding takes place.
4.6.3
MII vs. RMII Configuration
The LAN8710/LAN8710i must be configured to support the MII or RMII bus for connectivity to the MAC.
This configuration is done through the RXD2/RMIISEL pin.
MII or RMII mode selection is configured based on the strapping of the RXD2/RMIISEL pin as
relationship of the related device pins to the MII and RMII mode signal names.

Note 4.2 The RXER signal is optional on the RMII bus. This signal is required by the transceiver,
but it is optional for the MAC. The MAC can choose to ignore or not use this signal.
The RMII REF_CLK is a continuous clock that provides the timing reference for CRS_DV, RXD[1:0],
TXEN, TXD[1:0] and RXER. The LAN8710 uses REF_CLK as the network clock such that no buffering
is required on the transmit data path. However, on the receive data path, the receiver recovers the
clock from the incoming data stream, and the LAN8710 uses elasticity buffering to accommodate for
differences between the recovered clock and the local REF_CLK.
4.7
Auto-negotiation
The purpose of the Auto-negotiation function is to automatically configure the transceiver to the
optimum link parameters based on the capabilities of its link partner. Auto-negotiation is a mechanism
for exchanging configuration information between two link-partners and automatically selecting the
highest performance mode of operation supported by both sides. Auto-negotiation is fully defined in
clause 28 of the IEEE 802.3 specification.
Once auto-negotiation has completed, information about the resolved link can be passed back to the
controller via the Serial Management Interface (SMI). The results of the negotiation process are
reflected in the Speed Indication bits in register 31, as well as the Link Partner Ability Register
(Register 5).

MII/RMII 10/100 Ethernet Transceiver with HP Auto-MDIX and flexPWR Technology in a Small Footprint
Datasheet
The auto-negotiation protocol is a purely physical layer activity and proceeds independently of the MAC
controller.
The advertised capabilities of the transceiver are stored in register 4 of the SMI registers. The default
advertised by the transceiver is determined by user-defined on-chip signal options.
The following blocks are activated during an Auto-negotiation session:
„
„
„
„
„
„
„
Auto-negotiation (digital)
100M ADC (analog)
100M PLL (analog)
100M equalizer/BLW/clock recovery (DSP)
10M SQUELCH (analog)
10M PLL (analog)
10M Transmitter (analog)
When enabled, auto-negotiation is started by the occurrence of one of the following events:
„
„
„
„
„
Hardware reset
Software reset
Power-down reset
Link status down
Setting register 0, bit 9 high (auto-negotiation restart)
On detection of one of these events, the transceiver begins auto-negotiation by transmitting bursts of
Fast Link Pulses (FLP). These are bursts of link pulses from the 10M transmitter. They are shaped as
Normal Link Pulses and can pass uncorrupted down CAT-3 or CAT-5 cable. A Fast Link Pulse Burst
consists of up to 33 pulses. The 17 odd-numbered pulses, which are always present, frame the FLP
burst. The 16 even-numbered pulses, which may be present or absent, contain the data word being
transmitted. Presence of a data pulse represents a “1”, while absence represents a “0”.
The data transmitted by an FLP burst is known as a “Link Code Word.” These are defined fully in IEEE
802.3 clause 28. In summary, the transceiver advertises 802.3 compliance in its selector field (the first
5 bits of the Link Code Word). It advertises its technology ability according to the bits set in register 4
of the SMI registers.
There are 4 possible matches of the technology abilities. In the order of priority these are:
„
„
„
„
100M Full Duplex (Highest priority)
100M Half Duplex
10M Full Duplex
10M Half Duplex
If the full capabilities of the transceiver are advertised (100M, Full Duplex), and if the link partner is
capable of 10M and 100M, then auto-negotiation selects 100M as the highest performance mode. If
the link partner is capable of Half and Full duplex modes, then auto-negotiation selects Full Duplex as
the highest performance operation.
Once a capability match has been determined, the link code words are repeated with the acknowledge
bit set. Any difference in the main content of the link code words at this time will cause auto-negotiation
to re-start. Auto-negotiation will also re-start if not all of the required FLP bursts are received.
The capabilities advertised during auto-negotiation by the transceiver are initially determined by the
logic levels latched on the MODE[2:0] bus after reset completes. This bus can also be used to disable
auto-negotiation on power-up.

If the LAN8710/LAN8710i is connected to a device lacking the ability to auto-negotiate (i.e. no FLPs
are detected), it is able to determine the speed of the link based on either 100M MLT-3 symbols or
10M Normal Link Pulses. In this case the link is presumed to be Half Duplex per the IEEE standard.
This ability is known as “Parallel Detection.” This feature ensures interoperability with legacy link
partners. If a link is formed via parallel detection, then bit 0 in register 6 is cleared to indicate that the
Link Partner is not capable of auto-negotiation. The controller has access to this information via the
management interface. If a fault occurs during parallel detection, bit 4 of register 6 is set.
Register 5 is used to store the Link Partner Ability information, which is coded in the received FLPs.
If the Link Partner is not auto-negotiation capable, then register 5 is updated after completion of parallel
detection to reflect the speed capability of the Link Partner.
4.7.2
Re-starting Auto-negotiation
Auto-negotiation can be re-started at any time by setting register 0, bit 9. Auto-negotiation will also re-
start if the link is broken at any time. A broken link is caused by signal loss. This may occur because
of a cable break, or because of an interruption in the signal transmitted by the Link Partner. Auto-
negotiation resumes in an attempt to determine the new link configuration.
If the management entity re-starts Auto-negotiation by writing to bit 9 of the control register, the
LAN8710/LAN8710i will respond by stopping all transmission/receiving operations. Once the
break_link_timer is done, in the Auto-negotiation state-machine (approximately 1200ms) the auto-
negotiation will re-start. The Link Partner will have also dropped the link due to lack of a received
signal, so it too will resume auto-negotiation.
4.7.3
4.7.4
Disabling Auto-negotiation
Auto-negotiation can be disabled by setting register 0, bit 12 to zero. The device will then force its
speed of operation to reflect the information in register 0, bit 13 (speed) and register 0, bit 8 (duplex).
The speed and duplex bits in register 0 should be ignored when auto-negotiation is enabled.
Half vs. Full Duplex
Half Duplex operation relies on the CSMA/CD (Carrier Sense Multiple Access / Collision Detect)
protocol to handle network traffic and collisions. In this mode, the carrier sense signal, CRS, responds
to both transmit and receive activity. In this mode, If data is received while the transceiver is
transmitting, a collision results.
In Full Duplex mode, the transceiver is able to transmit and receive data simultaneously. In this mode,
CRS responds only to receive activity. The CSMA/CD protocol does not apply and collision detection
is disabled.
4.8
HP Auto-MDIX Support
HP Auto-MDIX facilitates the use of CAT-3 (10 Base-T) or CAT-5 (100 Base-T) media UTP interconnect
cable without consideration of interface wiring scheme. If a user plugs in either a direct connect LAN
transceiver is capable of configuring the TXP/TXN and RXP/RXN pins for correct transceiver operation.

MII/RMII 10/100 Ethernet Transceiver with HP Auto-MDIX and flexPWR Technology in a Small Footprint
Datasheet
The internal logic of the device detects the TX and RX pins of the connecting device. Since the RX
and TX line pairs are interchangeable, special PCB design considerations are needed to accommodate
the symmetrical magnetics and termination of an Auto-MDIX design.
The Auto-MDIX function can be disabled using the Special Control/Status Indications register (bit
27.15).

Internal +1.2V Regulator Disable
One feature of the flexPWR technology is the ability to configure the internal 1.2V regulator off. When
the regulator is disabled, external 1.2V must be supplied to VDDCR. This makes it possible to reduce
total system power, since an external switching regulator with greater efficiency than the internal linear
regulator may be used to provide the +1.2V to the transceiver circuitry.
4.9.1
Disable the Internal +1.2V Regulator
To disable the +1.2V internal regulator, a pullup strapping resistor is connected from LED1/REGOFF
to VDD2A. At power-on, after both VDDIO and VDD2A are within specification, the transceiver will
sample the LED1/REGOFF pin to determine if the internal regulator should turn on. If the pin is
sampled at a voltage greater than V , then the internal regulator is disabled, and the system must
IH
floating or connected to VSS, then the internal regulator is enabled and the system is not required to
supply +1.2V to the VDDCR pin.
4.9.2
Enable the Internal +1.2V Regulator
The 1.2V for VDDCR is supplied by the on-chip regulator unless the transceiver is configured for
regulator off mode using the LED1/REGOFF pin as described in Section 4.9.1. By default, the internal
+1.2V regulator is enabled when the LED1/REGOFF pin is floating. As shown in Table 7.10, an internal
pull-down resistor straps the regulator on if the LED1/REGOFF pin is floating.
During VDDIO and VDDA power-on, if the LED1/REGOFF pin is sampled below V , then the internal
IL
+1.2V regulator will turn on and operate with power from the VDD2A pin.

nINTSEL Strapping and LED Polarity Selection
The nINT, TXER, and TXD4 functions share a common pin. There are two functional modes for this
pin, the TXER/TXD4 mode and nINT (interrupt) mode.
The nINTSEL pin is shared with the LED2 pin. The LED2 output will automatically change polarity
based on the presence of an external pull-down resistor. If the LED pin is pulled high (by the internal
pull-up resistor) to select a logical high for nINTSEL, then the LED output will be active low. If the LED
pin is pulled low by an external pull-down resistor to select a logical low nINTSEL, the LED output will
then be an active high output.
To set nINTSEL without LEDs, float the pin to set nINTSEL high or pull-down the pin with an external
The LED2/nINTSEL pin is latched on the rising edge of the nRST. The default setting is to float the
pin high for nINT mode.

PHY Address Strapping
The PHY ADDRESS bits are latched into an internal register at the end of a hardware reset. The 3-
bit address word[2:0] is input on the PHYAD[2:0] pins. The default setting is 3'b000 as described in
Variable Voltage I/O
The Digital I/O pins on the LAN8710/LAN8710i are variable voltage to take advantage of low power
savings from shrinking technologies. These pins can operate from a low I/O voltage of +1.8V-10% up
to +3.3V+10%. The I/O voltage the System Designer applies on VDDIO needs to maintain its value
with a tolerance of ± 10%. Varying the voltage up or down, after the transceiver has completed power-
on reset can cause errors in the transceiver operation.

4.14.1
Serial Management Interface (SMI)
The Serial Management Interface is used to control the LAN8710/LAN8710i and obtain its status. This
interface supports registers 0 through 6 as required by Clause 22 of the 802.3 standard, as well as
“vendor-specific” registers 16 to 31 allowed by the specification. Non-supported registers (7 to 15) will
be read as hexadecimal “FFFF”.
At the system level there are 2 signals, MDIO and MDC where MDIO is bi-directional open-drain and
MDC is the clock.
A special feature (enabled by register 17 bit 3) forces the transceiver to disregard the PHY-Address in
the SMI packet causing the transceiver to respond to any address. This feature is useful in multi-PHY

applications and in production testing, where the same register can be written in all the transceivers
using a single write transaction.
The MDC signal is an aperiodic clock provided by the station management controller (SMC). The MDIO
signal receives serial data (commands) from the controller SMC, and sends serial data (status) to the
SMC. The minimum time between edges of the MDC is 160 ns. There is no maximum time between
edges.
The minimum cycle time (time between two consecutive rising or two consecutive falling edges) is 400
ns. These modest timing requirements allow this interface to be easily driven by the I/O port of a
microcontroller.
The data on the MDIO line is latched on the rising edge of the MDC. The frame structure and timing

Interrupt Management
The Management interface supports an interrupt capability that is not a part of the IEEE 802.3
specification. It generates an active low asynchronous interrupt signal on the nINT output whenever
certain events are detected as setup by the Interrupt Mask Register 30.
The Interrupt system on the SMSC The LAN8710 has two modes, a Primary Interrupt mode and an
Alternative Interrupt mode. Both systems will assert the nINT pin low when the corresponding mask
bit is set, the difference is how they de-assert the output interrupt signal nINT.
The Primary interrupt mode is the default interrupt mode after a power-up or hard reset, the Alternative
interrupt mode would need to be setup again after a power-up or hard reset.
5.2.1
Primary Interrupt System
The Primary Interrupt system is the default interrupt mode, (Bit 17.6 = ‘0’). The Primary Interrupt
System is always selected after power-up or hard reset.
To set an interrupt, set the corresponding mask bit in the interrupt Mask register 30 (see Table 5.37).
Then when the event to assert nINT is true, the nINT output will be asserted.
When the corresponding Event to De-Assert nINT is true, then the nINT will be de-asserted.

Note 5.1 If the mask bit is enabled and nINT has been de-asserted while ENERGYON is still high,
nINT will assert for 256 ms, approximately one second after ENERGYON goes low when
the Cable is unplugged. To prevent an unexpected assertion of nINT, the ENERGYON
interrupt mask should always be cleared as part of the ENERGYON interrupt service
routine.

Note: The ENERGYON bit 17.1 is defaulted to a ‘1’ at the start of the signal acquisition process,
therefore the Interrupt source flag 29.7 will also read as a ‘1’ at power-up. If no signal is
present, then both 17.1 and 29.7 will clear within a few milliseconds.
5.2.2
Alternate Interrupt System
The Alternative method is enabled by writing a ‘1’ to 17.6 (ALTINT).
To Clear an interrupt, either clear the corresponding bit in the Mask Register (30), this will de-assert
the nINT output, or Clear the Interrupt Source, and write a ‘1’ to the corresponding Interrupt Source
Flag. Writing a ‘1’ to the Interrupt Source Flag will cause the state machine to check the Interrupt
Source to determine if the Interrupt Source Flag should clear or stay as a ‘1’. If the Condition to De-
Assert is true, then the Interrupt Source Flag is cleared, and the nINT is also de-asserted. If the
Condition to De-Assert is false, then the Interrupt Source Flag remains set, and the nINT remains
asserted.
For example 30.7 is set to ‘1’ to enable the ENERGYON interrupt. After a cable is plugged in,
ENERGYON (17.1) goes active and nINT will be asserted low.
To de-assert the nINT interrupt output, either.
1. Clear the ENERGYON bit (17.1), by removing the cable, then writing a ‘1’ to register 29.7.
Or
2. Clear the Mask bit 30.1 by writing a ‘0’ to 30.1.

Miscellaneous Functions
5.3.1
Carrier Sense
The carrier sense is output on CRS. CRS is a signal defined by the MII specification in the IEEE 802.3u
standard. The LAN8710 asserts CRS based only on receive activity whenever the transceiver is either
Revision 1.0 (04-15-09)
SMSC LAN8710/LAN8710i
DATA4S8HEET
®
MII/RMII 10/100 Ethernet Transceiver with HP Auto-MDIX and flexPWR Technology in a Small Footprint
Datasheet
in repeater mode or full-duplex mode. Otherwise the transceiver asserts CRS based on either transmit
or receive activity.
The carrier sense logic uses the encoded, unscrambled data to determine carrier activity status. It
activates carrier sense with the detection of 2 non-contiguous zeros within any 10 bit span. Carrier
sense terminates if a span of 10 consecutive ones is detected before a /J/K/ Start-of Stream Delimiter
pair. If an SSD pair is detected, carrier sense is asserted until either /T/R/ End–of-Stream Delimiter
pair or a pair of IDLE symbols is detected. Carrier is negated after the /T/ symbol or the first IDLE. If
/T/ is not followed by /R/, then carrier is maintained. Carrier is treated similarly for IDLE followed by
some non-IDLE symbol.
5.3.2
Collision Detect
A collision is the occurrence of simultaneous transmit and receive operations. The COL output is
asserted to indicate that a collision has been detected. COL remains active for the duration of the
collision. COL is changed asynchronously to both RXCLK and TXCLK. The COL output becomes
inactive during full duplex mode.
COL may be tested by setting register 0, bit 7 high. This enables the collision test. COL will be asserted
within 512 bit times of TXEN rising and will be de-asserted within 4 bit times of TXEN falling.
In 10M mode, COL pulses for approximately 10 bit times (1us), 2us after each transmitted packet (de-
assertion of TXEN). This is the Signal Quality Error (SQE) signal and indicates that the transmission
was successful. The user can disable this pulse by setting bit 11 in register 27.
5.3.3
5.3.4
Isolate Mode
The LAN8710 data paths may be electrically isolated from the MII by setting register 0, bit 10 to a logic
one. In isolation mode, the transceiver does not respond to the TXD, TXEN and TXER inputs, but does
respond to management transactions.
Isolation provides a means for multiple transceivers to be connected to the same MII without contention
occurring. The transceiver is not isolated on power-up (bit 0:10 = 0).
Link Integrity Test
The LAN8710 performs the link integrity test as outlined in the IEEE 802.3u (Clause 24-15) Link
Monitor state diagram. The link status is multiplexed with the 10Mbps link status to form the reportable
link status bit in Serial Management Register 1, and is driven to the LINK LED.
The DSP indicates a valid MLT-3 waveform present on the RXP and RXN signals as defined by the
ANSI X3.263 TP-PMD standard, to the Link Monitor state-machine, using internal signal called
DATA_VALID. When DATA_VALID is asserted the control logic moves into a Link-Ready state, and
waits for an enable from the Auto Negotiation block. When received, the Link-Up state is entered, and
the Transmit and Receive logic blocks become active. Should Auto Negotiation be disabled, the link
integrity logic moves immediately to the Link-Up state, when the DATA_VALID is asserted.
Note that to allow the line to stabilize, the link integrity logic will wait a minimum of 330 μsec from the
time DATA_VALID is asserted until the Link-Ready state is entered. Should the DATA_VALID input be
negated at any time, this logic will immediately negate the Link signal and enter the Link-Down state.
When the 10/100 digital block is in 10Base-T mode, the link status is from the 10Base-T receiver logic.
5.3.5
Power-Down modes
There are 2 power-down modes for the LAN8710 described in the following sections.

Datasheet
5.3.5.1
5.3.5.2
General Power-Down
This power-down is controlled by register 0, bit 11. In this mode the entire transceiver, except the
management interface, is powered-down and stays in that condition as long as bit 0.11 is HIGH. When
bit 0.11 is cleared, the transceiver powers up and is automatically reset.
Energy Detect Power-Down
This power-down mode is activated by setting bit 17.13 to 1. In this mode when no energy is present
on the line the transceiver is powered down, except for the management interface, the SQUELCH
circuit and the ENERGYON logic. The ENERGYON logic is used to detect the presence of valid energy
from 100Base-TX, 10Base-T, or Auto-negotiation signals
In this mode, when the ENERGYON signal is low, the transceiver is powered-down, and nothing is
transmitted. When energy is received - link pulses or packets - the ENERGYON signal goes high, and
the transceiver powers-up. It automatically resets itself into the state it had prior to power-down, and
asserts the nINT interrupt if the ENERGYON interrupt is enabled. The first and possibly the second
packet to activate ENERGYON may be lost.
When 17.13 is low, energy detect power-down is disabled.
5.3.6
Reset
The LAN8710 registers are reset by the Hardware and Software resets. Some SMI register bits are
not cleared by Software reset, and these are marked “NASR” in the register tables. The SMI registers
For the first 16us after coming out of reset, the MII will run at 2.5 MHz. After that it will switch to 25
MHz if auto-negotiation is enabled.
5.3.6.1
5.3.6.2
5.3.7
Hardware Reset
Hardware reset is asserted by driving the nRST input low.
When the nRST input is driven by an external source, it should be held LOW for at least 100 us to
ensure that the transceiver is properly reset. During a hardware reset an external clock must be
supplied to the XTAL1/CLKIN signal.
Software Reset
Software reset is activated by writing register 0, bit 15 high. This signal is self- clearing. The SMI
registers are reset except those that are marked “NASR” in the register tables.
The IEEE 802.3u standard, clause 22 (22.2.4.1.1) states that the reset process should be completed
within 0.5s from the setting of this bit.
LED Description
The LAN8710 provides two LED signals. These provide a convenient means to determine the mode
of operation of the transceiver. All LED signals are either active high or active low as described in
The LED1 output is driven active whenever the LAN8710 detects a valid link, and blinks when CRS is
active (high) indicating activity.
The LED2 output is driven active when the operating speed is 100Mbit/s. This LED will go inactive
when the operating speed is 10Mbit/s or during line isolation (register 31 bit 5).
5.3.8
Loopback Operation
The LAN8710 may be configured for near-end loopback and far loopback.

Near-end Loopback
Near-end loopback is a mode that sends the digital transmit data back out the receive data signals for
testing purposes as indicated by the blue arrows in Figure 5.1.The near-end loopback mode is enabled
by setting bit register 0 bit 14 to logic one.
A large percentage of the digital circuitry is operational near-end loopback mode, because data is
routed through the PCS and PMA layers into the PMD sublayer before it is looped back. The COL
signal will be inactive in this mode, unless collision test (bit 0.7) is active. The transmitters are powered
down, regardless of the state of TXEN.

Configuration Signals
The hardware configuration signals are sampled during the power-on sequence to determine the
physical address and operating mode.
5.3.9.1
Physical Address Bus - PHYAD[2:0]
The PHYAD[2:0] bits are driven high or low to give each PHY a unique address. This address is
latched into an internal register at the end of a hardware reset. In a multi-transceiver application (such
as a repeater), the controller is able to manage each transceiver via the unique address. Each
transceiver checks each management data frame for a matching address in the relevant bits. When a
match is recognized, the transceiver responds to that particular frame. The PHY address is also used
to seed the scrambler. In a multi-Transceiver application, this ensures that the scramblers are out of
synchronization and disperses the electromagnetic radiation across the frequency spectrum.
The LAN8710 SMI address may be configured using hardware configuration to any value between 0
and 7. The user can configure the PHY address using Software Configuration if an address greater
than 7 is required. The PHY address can be written (after SMI communication at some address is
established) using the 10/100 Special Modes register (bits18.[4:0]).
The PHYAD[2:0] hardware configuration pins are multiplexed with other signals as shown in
Table 5.39 Pin Names for Address Bits

The LAN8710 may be configured to disregard the PHY address in SMI access write by setting the
register bit 17.3 (PHYADBP).

Mode Bus – MODE[2:0]
The MODE[2:0] bus controls the configuration of the 10/100 digital block. When the nRST pin is
deasserted, the register bit values are loaded according to the MODE[2:0] pins. The 10/100 digital
block is then configured by the register bit values. When a soft reset occurs (bit 0.15) as described in
Table 5.21, the configuration of the 10/100 digital block is controlled by the register bit values, and the
MODE[2:0] pins have no affect.
The user may configure the transceiver mode by writing the SMI registers.

MII/RMII Mode Selection
MII or RMII mode selection is latched on the rising edge of the internal reset (nRESET) based on the
strapping of the RXD2/RMIISEL pin. The default mode is MII with the internal pull-down resistor. To
select RMII mode, pull the RXD2/RMIISEL pin high with an external resistor to VDDIO.

7.1.1.1
Human Body Model (HBM) Performance
HBM testing verifies the ability to withstand the ESD strikes like those that occur during handling and
manufacturing, and is done without power applied to the IC. To pass the test, the device must have
no change in operation or performance due to the event. All pins on the LAN8710 provide +/-5kV HBM
protection.
7.1.1.2
IEC61000-4-2 Performance
The IEC61000-4-2 ESD specification is an international standard that addresses system-level immunity
to ESD strikes while the end equipment is operational. In contrast, the HBM ESD tests are performed
at the device level with the device powered down.
SMSC contracts with Independent laboratories to test the LAN8710 to IEC61000-4-2 in a working
system. Reports are available upon request. Please contact your SMSC representative, and request
information on 3rd party ESD test results. The reports show that systems designed with the LAN8710
can safely dissipate ±15kV air discharges and ±15kV contact discharges per the IEC61000-4-2
specification without additional board level protection.
In addition to defining the ESD tests, IEC 61000-4-2 also categorizes the impact to equipment
operation when the strike occurs (ESD Result Classification). The LAN8710 maintains an ESD Result
Classification 1 or 2 when subjected to an IEC 61000-4-2 (level 4) ESD strike.
Both air discharge and contact discharge test techniques for applying stress conditions are defined by
the IEC61000-4-2 ESD document.
AIR DISCHARGE
To perform this test, a charged electrode is moved close to the system being tested until a spark is
generated. This test is difficult to reproduce because the discharge is influenced by such factors as
humidity, the speed of approach of the electrode, and construction of the test equipment.
CONTACT DISCHARGE
The uncharged electrode first contacts the pin to prepare this test, and then the probe tip is energized.
This yields more repeatable results, and is the preferred test method. The independent test laboratories
contracted by SMSC provide test results for both types of discharge methods.
