1.0 AX88850 Overview  
The AX88850 series 100Mbps Repeater Controllers are designed for both low cost  
dumb HUB and high performance intelligent HUB applications. The AX88850 series  
product support up-to ten 100Mbps links with its 8 PCS (Physical coding sub-layer , also  
called Symbol Interface) interfaces and 2 dedicated MII interfaces or supports up-to eighteen  
100Mbps links with 2 shared 8 ports MII interfaces and 2 dedicated MII interfaces.  
Maximum up-to 144 ports can be constructed when using expansion bus cascades 8  
AX88850s. The AX88850 is designed base on IEEE 802.3u clause 27 “ Repeater for  
100Mb/s base-band networks” . It is fully compatible with IEEE 802.3u standard.  
1.1 General Description  
The AX88850 Repeater Controller is a subset of a repeater set containing all the  
repeater-specific components and functions, exclusive of PHY components and functions.  
The AX88850 family has two kind of interfaces to connect to PHY devices. There are  
Physical coding sub-layer (PCS) interface and Media Independent Interface (MII).  
The AX88850 supports 8 PCS ports interface or 2 shared bus (8 ports/per bus) MII  
interfaces, 2 dedicated MII ports interface, an expansion port interface, a management  
information base IC interface, a repeater ID daisy chain interface, a serial register interface  
and LED display interface.

3.0 Functional Description  
3.1 PCS interface logic  
The PCS logic performs PCS / MII receiving / transmitting interface. When it receives, first deciphers the signals from  
RDATA<4:0>, then do symbol alignment after detecting /J/K/ codes, then data is aligned to do 5B/4B decoding.  
When it transmits, first do 4B/5B encoding to convert MII signals to PCS signals, then enciphers and send to  
TDATA<4:0>.  
When RSD is high from low, then link fail counter will count for 330u sec, then the port can receive packet normally.  
During 330u sec that link fail counter counts, then receiving packet will be ignored. Cipher / No-cipher is selected by  
station management access logic.  
3.2 Carrier Integrity Monitor State Machine ( AX88853 PCS mode only )  
For 100BASE-X systems, it is necessary that the repeater set protect the network from some transient fault conditions  
that would disrupt network communications. Potential likely causes of such conditions are DTE and repeater power-  
up and power-down transients, cable disconnects, and faulty wiring.  
The AX88853 support CIM state machine with self-interrupt capability to prevent a segment’s spurious carrier  
activity from reaching the repeater unit and hence propagating through the network.  
3.3 Repeater State Machine  
The repeater state machine is used to control repeater behavior, generates right signal in corresponding states. The  
repeater state machine is in Idle state when there is no carrier . When there is carrier , the repeater state machine  
goes to Data Forwarding State to ensure correct data forwarding. If collision happens anytime, The repeater state  
machine detects collision then send jam pattern until collision ceases.  
idle State  
The idle state happens when these conditions exists:  
a. /RST is low.  
b. Reset emitted by station management access logic(RST_RSM).  
c. There is no any carrier in M0_CRS[7:0], M1_CRS[7:0], and CRS{1:0] in MII mode. Or  
receive IDLE code in PCS mode. If in cascade application, repeater receive no inter repeater  
active signal.  
In this state,M0_RXEN[7:0],M1_RXEN[7:0],M0_TXEN[7:0],M1_TXEN[7:0] are all low in MII  
mode.  
Data Forwarding State  
When there is only one carrier in M0_CRS[7:0], M1_CRS[7:0]or CRS[0], CRS[1] in MII mode, or  
only one of eight ports receives /J/K/ codes in PCS mode ,or only one of IR_ACTO[7:0] become low,  
The repeater state machine stores receiving packet and transmits to all other ports. Exception for  
a. The port is jabbered.  
b. The port is partitioned.  
c. There exists collision.  
In this state, only one of M0_RXEN[7:0] and M1_RXEN[7:0] is high, or M0_RXEN[7:0] or  
M1_RXEN[7:0] are all low because either packet is from two dedicated MII port or from inter-repeater  
cascade interface in MII mode.  
The repeater send packet from receiving port to all ports exclusive of the receiving that is  
M0_TXEN[7:0] and M1_TXEN[7:0] all becomes high, and one may be low if that port is the receiving  
port in MII mode. The repeater forwards data to TDATA[7:0] except for the receiving RDATA port in  
PCS mode.

PRELIMINARY  
Collision State  
The Collision State happens when these conditions exists:  
a. There are two or more signals high among M0_CRS[7:0],M1_CRS[7:0],CRS[1:0]. Or receive  
collision messages from /IR_ACTO[7:0] in MII mode.  
b. At least two ports of PCS ports receive /J/K/ code group or receive collision message from  
/IR_ACTO[7:0] in PCS mode.  
c. Only one carrier exists but RXDV still low exceeds 5 clock cycles. The repeater sends collision  
pattern to all ports, that is, M0_TXEN[7:0] and M1_TXEN[7:0] all become high during collision  
state.  
3.4 Jabber State Machine  
To prevent an illegally long reception of data from reaching the repeater unit, each port has its own jabber timer. If a  
reception exceeds this duration(64K bit times for AX88850), the jabber condition will be detected. In this condition,  
repeater unit will disable receive and transmit packets for the jabbered port and the other ports remain the normal  
operation.  
When the carrier is no longer detected for the jabbered port or reset the repeater, the jabber function will be clear and  
re-enable reception and transmission.  
3.5 Partition State Machine  
The partition state machine is used to protect network from be upset by a port suffering continuous collision, each port  
uses a partition state machine to detect and prevent this condition. When a port is suffering from continuous 32 or  
64 times of collisions by CCLimits. Then it goes to Partition State. The port entering Partition State will be released  
until a packet without collision more than 512 bit times or after power-on reset.  
Partition function is enabled by default, and CCLimits is 64 by default. Enable/Disable partition function  
(DIS_PART) and option of CCLimits to be 64 or 32 (COL_LIMIT32) are selected by station management access  
logic.

3.6 Expansion Logic(Cascade Interface)  
The expansion logic is used to stack numerous repeaters. The expansion logic can be divided into two types:  
Expansion Logic with Buffer (maximum mode  
In this mode, use /IR_ACTO[7:0] and /IR_ACTI[7:0] to cascade repeaters. Buffers are used both in  
/IR_ACTO[7:0] and /IR_ACTI[7:0]. This mode is supposed to cascade repeaters on difference boards via cables.  
There is a configuration bit /IR_ACT_EN to decide cascade signals are judges by /IR_ACTI[7:0](/IR_ACT_EN  
= 0) or /IR_ACTO[7:0](/IR_ACT_EN = 1).  
Expansion Logic without Buffer (minimum mode)  
In this mode, use /IR_ACTO[7:0] to cascade repeaters. Just connect /IR_ACTO[7:0] without using buffer in this  
part. This mode is supposed to cascade repeaters on the same board.

external pull high resister.  
b. One signal of /IR_ACTO[7:0] is low in data forwarding state corresponding to different RPTR_ID[2:0].  
c. Two signals of /IR_ACTO[7:0] are low in collision state corresponding to different RPTR_ID[2:0].  
3.7 Management Logic  
AX88850 provides the required management information associated with a packet for management chip which  
statistics processed on a per packet basis. Transmit ready signal TX_RDY is used as a framing signal for management  
data MD. Then management chip uses this data to determine the source of the current packet. MD data is synchronized  
to the rising edge of IRD_CK. When collision occur, MD will be tri-state and becomes invalid.

3.8 Management Counters  
There are four management counters in each port. These 16-bit-wide management counters keep track of the  
following events:  
Collision Event Counter  
It indicates the number of times that collision occurrences on a port.  
Partition Event Counter  
It indicates the number of times that a port has been partition.  
Short Event Counter  
It indicates the number of packets that is shorter than 76 BT.  
Late Event Counter  
It indicates the number of collision occurrences time after 512 BT when carrier presents.  
Fault Carrier Event Counter (AX88853 only)  
It indicates the number of times that fault carrier occurrences on a port.  
These counters can be read out by MIB serial access interface and will be clear after read operation.  
3.9 Station Management Access Interface  
The AX88850 provides 128 registers held in 4 pages of 32(Page 0 ~ 3 Register).These registers are 16 bits wide. Only  
one register of one page can be access at the same time through the MII serial management bus. After power on  
reset, Page 0 Register is the default setting. Change the value of PAGE REGISTER which exists in all pages, then  
switches to any page. For example: Page 3 Register can be accessed by writing 03h to the PAGE REGISTER.  
AX88850 can thus be managed through SMDC and SMDIO pins. The SMDC clock with maximum 2.5M Hz is used  
to sample data train on SMDIO. The interface follows the serial management protocol defined by IEEE 802.3u clause  
22.

For the protocol to work, all serial data must be “synchronized” to incoming data. To ensure data locked, a preamble  
of 32 consecutive 1‘s present before the start code, then the receive logic know the beginning of the data frame.  
With the setting of PHY_ACCESS = 1(stored in CONFIGURATION REGISTER), the target access device may be  
physical layer devices. In this mode, SMDIO is gated to BSMDIO. SMDIO and BSMDIO must turn on in the  
appropriate direction for read/write access. In the cascade system, only one repeater chip has the set of  
PHY_ACCESS at a time to avoid contention problems.  
3.10 RID Receive-Transmit Interface(Daisy Chain Logic)  
In the cascade system, repeater ID of each chip will be re-arranged by serial in/out daisy chain logic. The DAISY_IN  
pin always monitor RID of the previous chained chip, and the value of (RID+1) will override the original RID of the  
current chip. Then the DAISY_OUT pin will periodically (about 200us) send out the exact RID of current chip to  
inform the next chained chip. By this way, each repeater chip in 8 AX88850 hub (maximum application) will keep  
unique ID of itself. The RID is used in inter repeater bus arbitration and uniquely identify station management  
accesses.  
Note that only RID[2:0] can be changed and RID[4:3] must be the same value for all repeaters in the cascade system.  
In this way, repeater ID won‘t be confused with PHY device ID during station management access.

(/DIS_DAISY = 0), the RID of current chip can‘t be override and don‘t care the present data on DAISY_IN. If no  
daisy-chain input, the RID of current chip can be clear to 0 during time out period with the setting of /TO_ID_CLR =  
0. The timer is done about 4sec.

4.12 Port Management Counter Registers  
Each of the 18 ports of the AX88850 has a set of 4 event counters whose values can be read or pre-set (written)  
through the Port Management Counter Registers. When PCS (symbol) mode is selected, there is a set of false carrier  
counter / per port build-in on the chip. As for MII mode , the false carrier counter will be available on PHY, note that  
some PHY chip manufacturer not support those functions.  
4.12.1 Short Event Counter Registers  
Per port (“n” =port number) counters that indicate the number of Carrier Events that were active for less than the  
ShortEventMaxTime, which is defined as between 74 and 82 (76 nominal) bit times.
