Datasheet
7–3
Regardless of the type of request, a start-bit of 1 is required at the beginning of the stream, and a stop-bit
of 0 is required at the end of the stream. The second through fourth bits of the request stream indicate the
type of the request. In the descriptions below, bit 0 is the most significant and is transmitted first in the request
bit stream. The LREQ terminal is normally low.
Encoding for the request type is shown in Table 7–4.
Table 7–4. Request Type Encoding
LR1–LR3 NAME DESCRIPTION
000 ImmReq Immediate bus request. Upon detection of idle, the PHY takes control of the bus
immediately without arbitration.
001 IsoReq Isochronous bus request. Upon detection of idle, the PHY arbitrates for the bus without
waiting for a subaction gap.
010 PriReq Priority bus request. The PHY arbitrates for the bus after a subaction gap, ignores the fair
protocol.
011 FairReq Fair bus request. The PHY arbitrates for the bus after a subaction gap, follows the fair
protocol.
100 RdReg The PHY returns the specified register contents through a status transfer.
101 WrReg Write to the specified register
110 AccelCtl Enable or disable asynchronous arbitration acceleration.
111 Reserved Reserved
For a bus request the length of the LREQ bit stream is 7 or 8 bits as shown in Table 7–5.
Table 7–5. Bus Request
BIT(s) NAME DESCRIPTION
0 Start it Indicates the beginning of the transfer (always 1)
1–3 Request type Indicates the type of bus request. See Table 7–4.
4–6 Request speed Indicates the speed at which the PHY will send the data for this request. See Table 7–6
for the encoding of this field.
7 Stop bit Indicates the end of the transfer (always 0). If bit 6 is 0, this bit may be omitted.
The 3-bit request speed field used in bus requests is shown in Table 7–6.

000 S100
010 S200
100 S400
All Others Invalid
NOTE:
The TSB41LV03A will accept a bus request with an invalid speed code and process
the bus request normally. However, during packet transmission for such a request,
the TSB41LV03A will ignore any data presented by the TSB12LV01B and will
transmit a null packet.
