8.3.12.2 100BASE-TX Receiver

The 100BASE-TX receiver consists of several functional blocks which convert the scrambled MLT-3 125Mbps serial data stream to synchronous to 4-bit data provided to the MII and 2-bit wide data to the RMII.

The receive section consists of the following functional blocks:

  • Input and BLW compensation
  • Signal detect
  • Digital adaptive equalization
  • MLT-3 to binary decoder
  • Clock recovery module
  • NRZI to NRZ decoder
  • Descrambler
  • Serial-to-parallel data conversion
  • Code-group alignment
  • 4B/5B decoder
  • Link integrity monitor
  • Bad SSD detection
