tion to set the speed of the next packet transmission.
In addition, the TPB channel monitors the incoming
cable common-mode voltage for the presence of the
remotely supplied twisted-pair bias voltage. This moni-
tor is called bias-detect.
The TPBIAS circuit monitors the value of incoming
TPA pair common-mode voltage when local TPBIAS is
inactive. Because this circuit has an internal current
source and the connected node has a current sink, the
monitored value indicates the cable connection status.
This monitor is called connect-detect.
Both the TPB bias-detect monitor and TPBIAS con-
nect-detect monitor are used in suspend/resume
signaling and cable connection detection.
The PHY provides a 1.86 V nominal bias voltage for
driver load termination. When seen through a cable by
a remote receiver, this bias voltage indicates the pres-
ence of an active connection. The value of this bias
voltage has been chosen to allow interoperability
between transceiver chips operating from 5 V or 3 V
nominal supplies. This bias voltage source should be
stabilized by using an external filter capacitor of
approximately 0.33
µF.
The transmitter circuitry, the receiver circuitry, and the
twisted-pair bias voltage circuity are all disabled with a
powerdown condition. The powerdown condition
occurs when the PD input is high. The port transmitter
circuitry, the receiver circuitry, and the TPBIAS output
are also disabled when the port is disabled, sus-
pended, or disconnected.
The line drivers in the PHY operate in a high-imped-
ance current mode and are designed to work with
external 112
Ω
line-termination resistor networks. One
network is provided at each end of each twisted-pair
cable. Each network is composed of a pair of series-
connected 56
Ω
resistors. The midpoint of the pair of
resistors that is directly connected to the twisted-pair A
(TPA) signals is connected to the TPBIAS voltage sig-
nal. The midpoint of the pair of resistors that is directly
connected to the twisted-pair B (TPB) signals is cou-
pled to ground through a parallel RC network with
recommended resistor and capacitor values of 5 kΩ
and 220 pF, respectively. The value of the external
resistors are specified to meet the
IEEE
1394
standard
specifications when connected in parallel with the
internal receiver circuits.
The driver output current, along with other internal
operating currents, is set by an external resistor. This
resistor is connected between the R0 and R1 signals
and has a value of 2.49 kΩ
±
1%.
Description
(continued)
The PHY requires either an external 24.576 MHz crys-
tal or crystal oscillator. The internal oscillator drives an
internal phase-locked loop (PLL) that generates the
required 393.216 MHz reference signal. The 393.216
MHz reference signal is internally divided to provide
the 49.152 MHz, 98.304 MHz, and 196.608 MHz clock
signals that control transmission of the outbound
encoded strobe and data information. The 49.152 MHz
clock signal is also supplied to the associated LLC for
synchronization of the two chips and is used for resyn-
chronization of the received data. The powerdown
function, when enabled by the PD signal high, stops
operation of the PLL and disables all circuitry except
the cable-not-active (CNA) signal circuitry.
The PHY supports an isolation barrier between itself
and its LLC. When ISON is tied high, the link interface
outputs behave normally. When ISON is tied low, inter-
nal differentiating logic is enabled, and the outputs
become short pulses that can be coupled through a
capacitor or transformer as described in the
IEEE
1394-1995 Annex J. To operate with bus-keeper
isolation, the ISON ball of the FW801BF must be tied
high.
Data bits to be transmitted through the cable port is
received from the LLC on two, four, or eight data lines
(D[0:7]), and are latched internally in the PHY in syn-
chronization with the 49.152 MHz system clock. These
bits are combined serially, encoded, and transmitted at
98.304 Mbits/s, 196.608 Mbits/s, or 393.216 Mbits/s as
the outbound data-strobe information stream. During
transmission, the encoded data information is transmit-
ted differentially on the TPA and TPB cable pair(s).
During packet reception, the TPA and TPB transmit-
ters of the receiving cable port are disabled and the
receivers for that port are enabled. The encoded data
information is received on the TPA and TPB cable
pair. The received data-strobe information is decoded
to recover the receive clock signal and the serial data
bits. The serial data bits are split into two (for S100),
four (for S200), or eight (for S400) parallel streams,
resynchronized to the local system clock, and sent to
the associated LLC. The received data is also trans-
mitted (repeated) out of the other active (connected)
cable ports.
Both the TPA and TPB cable interfaces incorporate
differential comparators to monitor the line states dur-
ing initialization and arbitration. The outputs of these
comparators are used by the internal logic to deter-
mine the arbitration status. The TPA channel monitors
the incoming cable common-mode voltage. The value
of this common-mode voltage is used during arbitra-

FW801BF PHY 1394a-2000
One-Cable Transceiver/Arbiter Device
Data Sheet
January 2005
All gap counts on all nodes of a 1394 bus must be
identical. The software accomplishes this by issuing
PHY configuration packets (see Section 4.3.4.3 of the
IEEE
1394a-2000 standard) or by issuing two bus
resets, which resets the gap counts to the maximum
level (3Fh).
The link power status (LPS) signal works with the
C_LKON signal to manage the LLC power usage of
the node. The LPS signal indicates that the LLC of the
node is powered up or powered down. If LPS is inac-
tive for more than 1.2
µs
and less than 25
µs,
the
PHY/link interface is reset. If LPS is inactive for greater
than 25
µs,
the PHY will disable the PHY/link interface
to save power. FW801BF continues its repeater func-
tion even when the PHY/link interface is disabled. If
the PHY then receives a link-on packet, the C_LKON
signal is activated to output a 6.114 MHz signal that
can be used by the LLC to power itself up. Once the
LLC is powered up, the LPS signal communicates this
to the PHY and the PHY/link interface is enabled.
C_LKON signal is turned off when LPS is active or
when a bus reset occurs, provided the interrupt that
caused C_LKON is not present.
When the PHY/link interface is in the disabled state,
the FW801BF will automatically enter a low-power
mode if all ports are inactive (disconnected, disabled,
or suspended). In this low-power mode, the FW801BF
disables its PLL and also disables parts of its refer-
ence circuitry depending on the state of the port (some
reference circuitry must remain active in order to
detect incoming TP bias). The lowest power consump-
tion (the microlow-power sleep mode) is attained when
the port is either disconnected or disabled with the port
interrupt enable bit (See Table 12) cleared. The
FW801BF will exit the low-power mode when the LPS
input is asserted high or when a port event occurs that
requires the FW801BF to become active in order to
respond to the event or to notify the LLC of the event
(e.g., incoming bias or disconnection is detected on a
suspended port, a new connection is detected on a
nondisabled port, etc.). When the FW801BF is in the
low-power mode, the SYSCLK output will become
active (and the PHY/link interface will be initialized and
become operative) within 3 ms after LPS is asserted
high.
Two of the FW801BF’s signals are used to set up vari-
ous test conditions used only during the device
manufacturing process. These signals (SE and SM)
should be connected to V
SS
for normal operation.
Description
(continued)
The FW801BF supports suspend/resume as defined in
the
IEEE
1394a-2000 specification. The suspend
mechanism allows the FW801BF port to be put into a
suspended state. In this state, the port is unable to
transmit or receive data packets; however, it remains
capable of detecting connection status changes and
detecting incoming TPBias. When the FW801BF port
is suspended, all circuits except the bias voltage refer-
ence generator and the bias detection circuits are
powered down, resulting in significant power savings.
The use of suspend/resume is recommended.
As an input, the C_LKON signal indicates whether a
node is a contender for bus manager. When the
C_LKON signal is asserted, it means the node is a
contender for bus manager. When the signal is not
asserted, it means that the node is not a contender.
The C bit corresponds to bit 20 in the self-ID packet
(see Section 4.3.4.1 of the
IEEE
1394a-2000 standard
for additional details).
The power class (Pwr_class) bits of the self-ID packet
have a default value of 4, i.e., power class 100. These
bits can be read and modified through the LLC using
Figure 5B-1 (PHY Register Map) of the
IEEE
1394a-
2000 standard. See Table 9 of this document for the
address space of the Pwr_class register.
A powerdown signal (PD) is provided to allow a power-
down mode where most of the PHY circuits are
powered down to conserve energy in battery-powered
applications. The internal logic in FW801BF is reset as
long as the powerdown signal is asserted. A cable sta-
tus signal (CNA) provides a high output when the
twisted-pair cable port is receiving incoming bias volt-
age. This output is not debounced. The CNA output
can be used to determine when to power the PHY
down or up. In the powerdown mode, all circuitry is
disabled except the CNA circuitry. It should be noted
that when the device is powered down, it does not act
in a repeater mode.
When the power supply of the PHY is removed while
the twisted-pair cables are connected, the PHY trans-
mitter and receiver circuitry is designed to present a
high impedance to the cable in order to not load the
TPBIAS signal voltage on the other end of the cable.
Whenever the TBA±/TPB± signals are wired to a con-
nector, they must be terminated using the normal
termination network (See Figure 4.). This is required
for reliable operation. When the port does not have a
cable connected, internal connect-detect circuitry will
keep the port in a disconnected state.
