MOTOROLA
Ethernet Compliant Applications Modes (COMPAT = High)
Initially, the receiver must attain byte alignment through the detection of four COMMA
code groups with the same alignment as explained in Section 3.5.1, “Non-Aligned Mode
(BSYNC = Low).” Next, the receiver must attain stream alignment as described and shown
in Figure 36-9 of the IEEE Std. 802.3-2002 specification [4].
The RECV
_x_
ERR output remains high until both alignments are attained.
The receiver then searches for a Start_of_Packet code group (/S/). On detection of a
Start_of_Packet, the receiver replaces that code group with a preamble code group (0x55)
and present this data on the receiver data output REC
_x_
7 through RECV
_
x_0 as the
RECV
_
x
_
DV output is raised. This is per Figures 36-7a and 36-7b of IEEE Std. 802.3-2002
specification [4].
Data continues to be presented on the data outputs, and the RECV
_
x
_
DV output remains
high until an End_of_Packet code group (/T/) is received. At this point the RECV
_
x
_
DV
output is negated low and remains low until the next Start_of_Packet is received.
When operating in GMII mode, the receiver status is reported by RECV
_
x
_
ERR and
RECV
_
x
_
DV and encoded on the RECV_x_[7:0] data signals, as shown in Table 3-10
.
