2.0 Configuration

This section includes information on the various configura-

tion options available with the DP83847. The configuration

options described below include:

— Auto-Negotiation

— PHY Address and LEDs

— Half Duplex vs. Full Duplex

— Isolate mode

— Loopback mode

—BIST

2.1 Auto-Negotiation

The Auto-Negotiation function provides a mechanism for

exchanging configuration information between two ends of

a link segment and automatically selecting the highest per-

formance mode of operation supported by both devices.

Fast Link Pulse (FLP) Bursts provide the signalling used to

communicate

Auto-Negotiation

abilities

between

two

devices at each end of a link segment. For further detail

regarding Auto-Negotiation, refer to Clause 28 of the IEEE

802.3u specification. The DP83847 supports four different

Ethernet protocols (10 Mb/s Half Duplex, 10 Mb/s Full

Duplex, 100 Mb/s Half Duplex, and 100 Mb/s Full Duplex),

so the inclusion of Auto-Negotiation ensures that the high-

est performance protocol will be selected based on the

advertised ability of the Link Partner. The Auto-Negotiation

function within the DP83847 can be controlled either by

internal register access or by the use of the AN_EN, AN1

and AN0 pins.

2.1.1 Auto-Negotiation Pin Control

The state of AN_EN, AN0 and AN1 determines whether the

DP83847 is forced into a specific mode or Auto-Negotiation

will advertise a specific ability (or set of abilities) as given in

Table 1. These pins allow configuration options to be

selected without requiring internal register access.

The state of AN_EN, AN0 and AN1, upon power-up/reset,

determines the state of bits [8:5] of the ANAR register.

The Auto-Negotiation function selected at power-up or

reset can be changed at any time by writing to the Basic

Mode Control Register (BMCR) at address 00h.

2.1.2 Auto-Negotiation Register Control

When Auto-Negotiation is enabled, the DP83847 transmits

the abilities programmed into the Auto-Negotiation Adver-

tisement register (ANAR) at address 04h via FLP Bursts.

Any combination of 10 Mb/s, 100 Mb/s, Half-Duplex, and

Full Duplex modes may be selected.

The BMCR provides software with a mechanism to control

the operation of the DP83847. The AN0 and AN1 pins do

not affect the contents of the BMCR and cannot be used by

software to obtain status of the mode selected. Bits 1 & 2 of

the PHYSTS register are only valid if Auto-Negotiation is

disabled or after Auto-Negotiation is complete. The Auto-

Negotiation

protocol

compares

the

contents

the

ANLPAR and ANAR registers and uses the results to auto-

matically configure to the highest performance protocol

between the local and far-end port. The results of Auto-

Negotiation (Auto-Neg Complete, Duplex Status and

Speed) may be accessed in the PHYSTS register.

Auto-Negotiation Priority Resolution:

— (1) 100BASE-TX Full Duplex (Highest Priority)

— (2) 100BASE-TX Half Duplex

— (3) 10BASE-T Full Duplex

— (4) 10BASE-T Half Duplex (Lowest Priority)

The Basic Mode Control Register (BMCR) at address 00h

provides control for enabling, disabling, and restarting the

Auto-Negotiation process. When Auto-Negotiation is dis-

abled the Speed Selection bit in the BMCR controls switch-

ing between 10 Mb/s or 100 Mb/s operation, and the

Duplex Mode bit controls switching between full duplex

operation and half duplex operation. The Speed Selection

and Duplex Mode bits have no effect on the mode of oper-

ation when the Auto-Negotiation Enable bit is set.

The Basic Mode Status Register (BMSR) indicates the set

of available abilities for technology types, Auto-Negotiation

ability, and Extended Register Capability. These bits are

permanently set to indicate the full functionality of the

DP83847 (only the 100BASE-T4 bit is not set since the

DP83847 does not support that function).
