• Manufacturer Part Number: AM79C864AKCW
• Description: Physical Layer Controller With Scrambler (PLC-S)
• Manufacturer: AMD [Advanced Micro Devices]

PLC-S chip during Link Confidence Test and after the
link has been formed, to detect a noisy link. The PLC-S
contains a Line State Machine for detecting received
line states and a Data Stream Generator for transmitting
the various line states. The PLC-S also contains a state
machine called Physical Connection Insertion (PCI)
which is used in Physical Connection insertion and re-
moval. It performs the necessary ring scrubbing and
data path switching.

The Node Processor Interface in the PLC-S consists of
several control and status registers. The PLC-S also
contains error and special event counters, Built In Self
Test (BIST) logic, Boundary Scan logic, and several
data loopback multiplexers so that internal data paths
may be reconfigured for test purposes.
