H_RESET (HARDWARE_RESET).
RST
must be held
for a minimum of 30 clock periods. While in the H_RE-
SET state, the PCnet-PCI II controller will disable or
deassert all outputs.
RST
may be asynchronous to CLK
when asserted or deasserted. It is recommended that
the deassertion be synchronous to guarantee clean and
bounce free edge.
When
RST
is active, NAND tree testing is enabled. All
PCI interface pins are in input mode. The result of the
NAND tree testing can be observed on the NOUT
output (pin 62).
SERR
System Error
During any slave transaction, the PCnet-PCI II controller
asserts
SERR
when it detects an address parity error
and reporting of the error is enabled by setting PERREN
(PCI Command register, bit 6) and SERREN (PCI Com-
mand register, bit 8) to ONE.
Input/Output
By default
SERR
is an open-drain output. For compo-
nent test it can be programmed to be an active-high to-
tem-pole output.
When
RST
is active,
SERR
is an input for NAND
tree testing.
STOP
Stop
In slave mode, the PCnet-PCI II controller drives the
STOP
signal to inform the bus master to stop the current
transaction. In bus master mode, the PCnet-PCI II con-
troller checks
STOP
to determine if the target wants to
disconnect the current transaction.
Input/Output
When
RST
is active,
STOP
is an input for NAND
tree testing.
TRDY
Target Ready
TRDY
indicates the ability of the target of the transaction
to complete the current data phase.
TRDY
is used in
conjunction with
IRDY
. Wait states are inserted until
both
IRDY
and
TRDY
are asserted simultaneously. A
data phase is completed on any clock when both
IRDY
and
TRDY
are asserted.
Input/Output
When the PCnet-PCI II controller is a bus master, it
checks
TRDY
during all read data phases to determine if
valid data is present on AD[31:0]. During all write data
phases the device checks
TRDY
to determine if the tar-
get is ready to accept the data.
When the PCnet-PCI II controller is the target of a trans-
action, it asserts
TRDY
during all read data phases to in-
dicate that valid data is present on AD[31:0]. During all
write data phases the device asserts
TRDY
to indicate
that it is ready to accept the data.
When
RST
is active,
TRDY
is an input for NAND
tree testing.
Board Interface
LED1
LED1
This output is designed to directly drive an LED. By de-
fault,
LED1
indicates receive activity on the network.
This pin can also be programmed to indicate other
network status (see BCR5). The
LED1
pin polarity is
programmable, but by default, it is active LOW.
Output
Note that the
LED1
pin is multiplexed with the EESK and
SFBD pins.
LED2
LED2
This output is designed to directly drive an LED. By de-
fault,
LED2
indicates correct receive polarity on the
10BASE-T interface. This pin can also be programmed
to indicate other network status (see BCR6). The
LED2
pin polarity is programmable, but by default, it is
active LOW.
Output
Note that the
LED2
pin is multiplexed with the
SRDCLK pin.
LED3
LED3
This output is designed to directly drive an LED. By de-
fault,
LED3
indicates transmit activity on the network.
This pin can also be programmed to indicate other net-
work status (see BCR7). The
LED3
pin polarity is pro-
grammable, but by default, it is active LOW.
Output
Note that the
LED3
pin is multiplexed with the EEDO
and SRD pins.
Special attention must be given to the external circuitry
attached to this pin. When this pin is used to drive an
LED while an EEPROM is used in the system, then buff-
ering is required between the
LED3
pin and the LED cir-
cuit. If an LED circuit were directly attached to this pin, it
would create an I
OL
requirement that could not be met
by the serial EEPROM attached to this pin. If no
EEPROM is included in the system design, then the
LED3
signal may be directly connected to an LED with-
out buffering. For more details regarding LED connec-
tion, see the section “LED Support”.
SLEEP
Sleep
When
SLEEP
is asserted, the PCnet-PCI II controller
performs an internal system reset of the S_RESET type
and then proceeds into a power savings mode. All
PCnet-PCI II controller outputs will be placed in their
normal reset condition. All PCnet-PCI II controller inputs
