• Manufacturer Part Number: am79c984a
• Description: Enhanced Integrated Multiport Repeater Eimr
• Manufacturer: Advanced Micro Devices

MAC Interface
The eIMR device can be connected directly to a MAC
through the AUI port. This requires that the AUI port be
configured in the reverse mode and connected as
shown in Figure 10a. Notice that DI is connected to DO
Internal Arbitration Mode Connection
The internal arbitration mode uses a modified daisy-
chain scheme to eliminate the need for any external
arbiter. In this mode, ACK and COL need to be pulled
up through a minimum resistance of 1 k
JAM pins also need to be pulled down via a high value
resistor. Refer to Figure 11.

of the MAC and DO is connected to DI of the MAC,
because the reverse configuration only affects CI.
Where CI is an input in the normal mode, in the reverse
mode, CI is an output. Figure 10b shows the normal AUI
configuration for reference.
IMR+ Mode External Arbitration
The IMR+ mode maintains the full functionality of AMD’s
IMR+ (Am79C981) device’s expansion bus. In this
mode, the eIMR device requires external circuitry to
handle arbitration for control of the bus. Figure 12 shows
the configuration for the IMR+ mode of operation.
