7.3.3 Collision Detection and SQE
When in Half Duplex, a 10BASE-T collision is detected when the receive and transmit channels are active
simultaneously. Collisions are reported by the COL signal on the MII. Collisions are also reported when a
jabber condition is detected.
The COL signal remains set for the duration of the collision. If the PHY is receiving when a collision is
detected it is reported immediately (through the COL pin).
When heartbeat is enabled, approximately 1 µs after the transmission of each packet, a Signal Quality
Error (SQE) signal of approximately 10-bit times is generated to indicate successful transmission. SQE is
reported as a pulse on the COL signal of the MII.
The SQE test is inhibited when the PHY is set in full duplex mode. SQE can also be inhibited by setting
the HEARTBEAT_DIS bit in the 10BTSCR register.
7.3.4 Carrier Sense
Carrier Sense (CRS) may be asserted due to receive activity once valid data is detected via the squelch
function.
For 10 Mb/s Half Duplex operation, CRS is asserted during either packet transmission or reception.
For 10 Mb/s Full Duplex operation, CRS is asserted only during receive activity.
CRS is deasserted following an end of packet.
7.3.5 Normal Link Pulse Detection/Generation
The link pulse generator produces pulses as defined in the IEEE 802.3 10BASE-T standard. Each link
pulse is nominally 100 ns in duration and transmitted every 16 ms in the absence of transmit data.
Link pulses are used to check the integrity of the connection with the remote end. If valid link pulses are
not received, the link detector disables the 10BASE-T twisted pair transmitter, receiver and collision
detection functions.
When the link integrity function is disabled (FORCE_LINK_10 of the 10BTSCR register), a good link is
forced and the 10BASE-T transceiver will operate regardless of the presence of link pulses.
7.3.6 Jabber Function
The jabber function monitors the DP83848VYB's output and disables the transmitter if it attempts to
transmit a packet of longer than legal size. A jabber timer monitors the transmitter and disables the
transmission if the transmitter is active for approximately 85 ms.
