Receiver Interface Configuration
3.3.4
Half-Speed Mode
Half-speed mode, enabled when HSE is asserted high, operates the receiver in its lower
speed range. In half-speed mode, the link speed is 500 Mbps (625 Mbaud). The receiver
interface operates at half-speed as well, in pace with the received data.
3.3.5
Repeater Mode
Although repeater mode is primarily used for factory engineering, it may be used by the
application, as described in Section 5.5, “Repeater Mode.”
3.3.6
Receiver Redundant Link Operation
The MC92603 is configured as a dual channel SerDes with redundant links if the enable
redundancy signal, ENAB_RED, is high. Only channels A and B received data interfaces
are active in this mode. This data will be received from the appropriate link, as specified by
the XCVR_A_RSEL and XCVR_B_RSEL inputs shown in Table 3-2 and Table 3-3.
ENAB_RED is considered a basic configuration input, meaning that it is assumed
ENAB_RED will not change states during operation. If the state of ENAB_RED is
changed, then the part must be reset.
XCVR_A_RSEL and XCVR_B_RSEL inputs may be changed at any time. However, when
the state of this input is changed, the channel will lose synchronization and require
COMMAs in the data stream to regain alignment.

Receiver Interface Configuration
The receiver interface facilitates transfer of received data to the system. Along with the
data, information is also provided on the status of the link. Table 3-1 describes the signals
involved in the receiver configuration and operation. The receiver interface, through which
