100BASE-TX Transmit
The 100BASE-TX transmit data path is shown in
internal to the PHY. Each major block is explained in the following sections.
MII MAC Interface
For a transmission, the switch fabric MAC drives the transmit data to the PHYs MII MAC Interface.
The MII MAC Interface is described in detail in
Note: The PHY is connected to the switch fabric MAC via standard MII signals. Refer to the IEEE
4B/5B Encoder
The transmit data passes from the MII block to the 4B/5B Encoder. This block encodes the data from
4-bit nibbles to 5-bit symbols (known as “code-groups”) according to
is mapped to 16 of the 32 possible code-groups. The remaining 16 code-groups are either used for
control information or are not valid.
The first 16 code-groups are referred to by the hexadecimal values of their corresponding data nibbles,
0 through F. The remaining code-groups are given letter designations with slashes on either side. For
example, an IDLE code-group is /I/, a transmit error code-group is /H/, etc.
