18、 by definition of the CCA and Management interface protocols. There are two annexes to this specification. Annex A provides an Electrical Interface and Annex B defines formats for two managed identifiers. 8 Interface Signal Description The MAC-PHY signal interface is depicted in Figure 1. It consist

19、s of the Data Interface including an 8-bit data bus, the Control Interface, the CCA Interface and the Management Interface. The Data Interface, which is used to transfer data to and from the MAC, operates differently depending on the state of the PHY. The Control Interface is used by the MAC to cont

20、rol the operating state of the PHY and by the PHY to indicate TX/RX status to the MAC. The CCA Interface is used for Clear Channel Assessment status indication. The Management Interface is used to access the PHY registers. - 3 - PHY MACCCA_STATUSCCA InterfaceSERIAL_DATAManagement InterfacePCLKDATA_E

22、ace in each PHY state is summarized in Table 5. - 4 - 8.1 Interface Signal Definitions 8.1.1 Control Interface Table 1 Control Interface Signals SIGNAL Width (Bits) DIR DESCRIPTION !PHY_RESET 1 MAC to PHY !PHY_RESET is asserted for PHY specific interval PHYResetTime to clear all PHY variables and re

23、set the PHY to its initial state. The PHY writes STANDBY to PMMODE and transitions to STANDBY state after !PHY_RESET is de-asserted and reset operations have completed. !PHY_RESET is asynchronous to PCLK. !PHY_RESET is ACTIVE LOW. TX_EN 1 MAC to PHY TX_EN is used to place the PHY in TRANSMIT State.

24、Its secondary use (with RX_EN) is to transition from SLEEP to STANDBY when the PHY clock source has been stopped for power saving. TX_EN is synchronous to PCLK except in SLEEP state. TX_EN is ACTIVE HIGH. RX_EN 1 MAC to PHY RX_EN is used to place the PHY in RECEIVE State. Its secondary use (with TX_

25、EN) is to transition from SLEEP to STANDBY when the PHY clock source has been stopped for power saving. RX_EN is synchronous to PCLK except in SLEEP state. RX_EN is ACTIVE HIGH. PHY_ACTIVE 1 PHY to MAC PHY_ACTIVE is used by the PHY to indicate that it is either transmitting or receiving a frame over

26、 the air. In TRANSMIT state, the rising edge of PHY_ACTIVE indicates the start of frame at the local antenna and the falling edge indicates that the entire frame has been transmitted over the air. In RECEIVE state, the rising edge of this signal indicates that the start of the preamble has been dete

27、cted (SyncDelay + the preceding synchronization fields earlier) and the falling edge indicates that the entire frame has been received (PHYActiveDelay earlier) at the local antenna. PHY_ACTIVE is also used in the special cases of Exit from SLEEP and RESET. PHY_ACTIVE is synchronous to PCLK. PHY_ACTI

28、VE is ACTIVE HIGH. STOPC (optional) 1 MAC to PHY On/Off signal for PCLK in STANDBY state. PCLK is active when STOPC is de-asserted and not active when STOPC is asserted. STOPC is asynchronous to PCLK. STOPC is ACTIVE HIGH. - 5 - 8.1.2 Data Interface Table 2 Data Interface Signals SIGNAL Width (Bits)

29、 DIR DESCRIPTION PCLK 1 PHY to MAC Interface clock provided by the PHY. Interface signals are synchronous to the rising edge of PCLK (see Annex A). The nominal rate of PCLK is 66MHz. DATA_EN 1 PHY to MAC In TRANSMIT state, this signal is used by the PHY to request more data from the MAC. In RECEIVE

30、state, it is used to indicate to the MAC that there is valid data on the DATA7:0 bus. DATA_EN is synchronous to PCLK. DATA_EN is ACTIVE HIGH. DATA7:0 8 Bi-directional DATA7:0 is an 8-bit wide data bus driven by the MAC in TRANSMIT state and by the PHY in all other states including SLEEP. DATA7:0 is

31、synchronous to PCLK whether driven by the PHY or the MAC. DATA7:0 ONE is HIGH. 8.1.3 CCA Interface Table 3 CCA Interface Signals SIGNAL Width (Bits) DIR DESCRIPTION CCA_STATUS 1 PHY to MAC The PHY returns CCA_STATUS after a CCA request is initiated by the MAC writing to the CCRE register via SERIAL_

32、DATA. CCA_STATUS is synchronous to PCLK. CCA_STATUS is ACTIVE HIGH. 8.1.4 Management Interface Table 4 Management Interface Signals SIGNAL Width (Bits) DIR DESCRIPTION SERIAL_DATA 1 Bi-directional The MAC writes control and address bits to SERIAL_DATA to initiate register access. SERIAL_DATA is driv

33、en by the MAC for Write operations. It is driven by the MAC for control and address parts of Read operations and by the PHY for the data part of Read operations. SERIAL_DATA is synchronous to PCLK. SERIAL_DATA ONE is HIGH. - 6 - 8.2 PHY Operational State Table 5 PHY Readiness State STATE DESCRIPTION

34、 RESET Transitional state in which the configuration parameters are reset to default values. RESET is asynchronous to PCLK (see 11.1.1). SLEEP The radio is off. PCLK is off (see 11.1.2). STANDBY The radio is off. PCLK is on (unless STOPC is asserted). STANDBY is a higher activity state than SLEE. RE

35、ADY Parts of the radio are on. PCLK is on. TRANSMIT The PHY Tx paths and the radio transmit path are active. PCLK is on. RECEIVE The PHY Rx paths and the radio receive path are active. PCLK is on. 9 Registers In registers, bit positions that are defined as reserved shall be ignored on reading and se

36、t to ZERO on writing. Two sets of parameters are defined to allow the MAC to control the operation of the PHY and permit information to be provided by the PHY to the MAC. STATIC Parameters These parameters are fixed for a given instantiation of the MAC and PHY. They can be considered to be constants

37、 for the purposes of the definition of the MAC-PHY Interface and their values can be defined in a given PHY data sheet, stored as constants in the system implementation or provided by any other means. The static parameters are defined in Table 6. DYNAMIC Parameters These parameters may be changed du

38、ring operation of the system, and affect operation of the PHY. They shall be implemented within the PHY as registers and can be read and/or written (depending on the specific parameter) via the Serial Management Interface. The dynamic registers are defined in Table 7. 9.1 Bit Ordering and Interpreta

39、tion All data structures, except where explicitly stated, are defined with the bit order as defined in Figure 4. Reserved bits shall be ignored on reading and set to ZERO on writing. 9.2 Register Address Spaces The PHY interface shall have 256 addressable 8-bit registers (8-bit address, 8-bit data)

40、divided into 3 regions: Dynamic Register region defined by this specification: address 00(h)1F(h) Optional Static Parameter region defined by this specification: address 20(h)7F(h) Vendor Specific Register region for vender defined registers: address 80(h)FF(h) - 7 - 9.3 Static Parameter Definitions
