PROTOCOL DESCRIPTION

Mbps data rate. For slower data rates, an

internal clock divider scales down the clock

frequency. Thus all timeout values are scaled

up as shown in the following table:

Communication on the network is based on a

token passing protocol. Establishment of the

network configuration and management of the

network protocol are handled entirely by the

by simply loading

data packet and its

destination ID into the COM20020's internal

RAM buffer, and issuing a command to enable

the transmitter. When the COM20020 next

receives the token, it verifies that the receiving

node is ready by first transmitting a FREE

BUFFER ENQUIRY message. If the receiving

node transmits an ACKnowledge message, the

data packet is transmitted followed by a 16-bit

CRC. If the receiving node cannot accept the

packet (typically its receiver is inhibited), it

transmits a Negative AcKnowledge message

and the transmitter passes the token. Once it

has been established that the receiving node

can accept the packet and transmission is

complete, the receiving node verifies the packet.

If the packet is received successfully, the

receiving node transmits an ACKnowledge

message (or nothing if it is not received

successfully) allowing the transmitter to set the

appropriate status bits to indicate successful or

unsuccessful delivery of the packet. An interrupt

mask permits the COM20020 to generate an

interrupt to the processor when selected status

bits become true. Figure 1 is a flow chart

illustrating the internal operation of the

COM20020 connected to a 20 MHz crystal

oscillator.

NETWORK RECONFIGURATION

A significant advantage of the COM20020 is its

ability to adapt to changes on the network.

Whenever

NETWORK

RECONFIGURATION is performed. When a

new COM20020 is turned on (creating a new

active node on the network), or if the

COM20020 has not received an INVITATION

TO TRANSMIT for 840mS, or if a software reset

occurs, the COM20020 causes a NETWORK

sending

RECONFIGURE BURST consisting of eight

marks and one space repeated 765 times. The

purpose of this burst is to terminate all activity

on the network. Since this burst is longer than

any other type of transmission, the burst will

interfere with the next INVITATION TO

TRANSMIT, destroy the token and keep any

other node from assuming control of the line.

rates from 156.25 Kbps to 2.5 Mbps. The

When any COM20020 senses an idle line for

greater than 82mS, which occurs only when the

token is lost, each COM20020 starts an internal

timeout equal to 146ms times the quantity 255

minus its own ID. The COM20020 starts

to transmit first to itself and then to all other

nodes by decrementing the destination Node ID.

If the timeout expires with no line activity, the

COM20020 starts sending INVITATION TO

TRANSMIT with the Destination ID (DID) equal

to the currently stored NID. Within a given

network, only one COM20020 will timeout (the

one with the highest ID number). After sending

BROADCAST MESSAGES

Broadcasting gives a particular node the ability

to transmit a data packet to all nodes on the

network simultaneously. ID zero is reserved for

this feature and no node on the network can be

assigned ID zero. To broadcast a message, the

transmitting node's processor simply loads the

RAM buffer with the data packet and sets the

DID equal to zero. Figure 8 illustrates the

position of each byte in the packet with the DID

residing at address 0X01 or 1 Hex of the

current page selected in the "Enable Transmit

from Page fnn" command. Each individual node

has the ability to ignore broadcast messages by

setting the most significant bit of the "Enable

Receive to Page fnn" command (see Table 6) to

a logic "0".

MICROCONTROLLER INTERFACE

The top halves of Figures 2 and 3 illustrate

Functions section for details on the related

signals. All accesses to the internal RAM and

the internal registers are controlled by the

COM20020. The internal RAM is accessed via

a pointer-based scheme (refer to the Sequential

Access Memory section), and the internal

registers are accessed via direct addressing.

Many peripherals are not fast enough to take

advantage of high-speed microcontrollers. Since

microcontrollers do not typically have READY

inputs, standard peripherals cannot extend

cycles to extend the access time. The access

time of the COM20020, on the other hand, is so

fast that it does not need to limit the speed of

typical

COM20020

interfaces

the

microcontrollers. The interfaces consist of an 8-

bit data bus, an address bus, and a control bus.

In order to support

wide range of

microcontrollers without requiring glue logic and

without increasing the number of pins, the

COM20020 automatically detects and adapts to

the type of microcontroller being used. Upon

hardware reset, the COM20020 first determines

whether the read and write control signals are

separate READ and WRITE signals (like the

80XX) or DIRECTION and DATA STROBE (like

the 68XX). To determine the type of control

signals, the device requires the software to

execute at least one write access to external

memory before attempting to access the

COM20020. The device defaults to 80XX-like

signals. Once the type of control signals are

determined, the COM20020 remains in this

interface mode until the next hardware reset

the microcontroller.

The COM20020 is

designed to be flexible so that it is independent

of the microcontroller speed.

The COM20020 provides for no wait state

arbitration via direct addressing to its internal

registers and

pointer based addressing

occurs.

The second determination the

scheme to access its internal RAM. The pointer

may be used in auto-increment mode for typical

sequential buffer emptying or loading, or it can

be taken out of auto-increment mode to perform

random accesses to the RAM. The data within

the RAM is accessed through the data register.

Data being read is prefetched from memory and

placed into the data register for the

microcontroller to read. It is important to notice

that only by writing a new address pointer

(writing to an address pointer low), one obtains

the contents of COM20020 internal RAM.

Performing only read from the Data Register

does not load new data from the internal RAM.

During a write operation, the data is stored in

the data register and then written into memory.

Whenever the pointer is loaded for reads with a

new value, data is immediately prefetched to

prepare for the first read operation.

COM20020 makes is whether the bus is

multiplexed or non-multiplexed. To determine

the type of bus, the device requires the software

to write to an odd memory location followed by a

read from an odd location before attempting to

access the COM20020. The signal on the A0

pin during the odd location access tells the

COM20020 the type of bus. Since multiplexed

operation requires A0 to be active low, activity

on the A0 line tells the COM20020 that the bus

is non-multiplexed. The device defaults to

multiplexed operation. Both determinations may

be made simultaneously by performing

WRITE followed by a READ operation to an odd

location within the COM20020 Address space

20020 registers.

Once the type of bus is

determined, the COM20020 remains in this

interface mode until hardware reset occurs.

Whenever nCS and nRD are activated, the

preset determinations are assumed as final and

The bottom halves of Figures 2 and 3 illustrate

the COM20020 interface to the transmission

media used to connect the node to the network.

Table 1 lists different types of cable which are

suitable for ARCNET applications.¹The user

may interface to the cable of choice in one of

three ways:

The Backplane Open Drain Configuration is

recommended for cost-sensitive, short-distance

applications

because it saves components, cost, and power.

Traditional Hybrid Interface

Since the Backplane Configuration encodes

data differently than the traditional Hybrid

Configuration, nodes utilizing the Backplane

Configuration cannot communicate directly with

The Traditional Hybrid Interface is that which is

Interface is for use with nodes operating at 2.5

Mbps only. The transformer coupling of the

Hybrid offers isolation for the safety of the

system and offers high Common Mode

Rejection. The Traditional Hybrid Interface uses

circuits like SMSC's HYC9068 or HYC9088 to

transfer the pulse-encoded data between the

cable and the COM20020. The COM20020

transmits a logic "1" by generating two 100nS

non-overlapping negative pulses, nPULSE1 and

nPULSE2. Lack of pulses indicates a logic "0".

The nPULSE1 and nPULSE2 signals are sent to

the Hybrid, which creates a 200nS dipulse

signal on the media. A logic "0" is transmitted

by the absence of the dipulse. During reception,

the 200nS dipulse appearing on the media is

coupled through the RF transformer of the LAN

Driver, which produces a positive pulse at the

RXIN pin of the COM20020. The pulse on the

RXIN pin represents a logic "1". Lack of pulse

represents a logic "0". Typically, RXIN pulses

occur at multiples of 400nS. The COM20020

can tolerate distortion of plus or minus 100nS

and still correctly capture and convert the RXIN

pulses to NRZ format. Figure 5 illustrates the

events which occur in transmission or

The COM20020 defaults to an open drain

output.

The Backplane Configuration provides for direct

connection between the COM20020 and the

media. Only one pull-up resistor (in open drain

configuration of the output driver) is required

somewhere on the media (not on each

individual node). The nPULSE1 signal, in this

mode, is an open drain or push/pull driver and is

used to directly drive the media. It issues a

that when used in the open-drain mode, the

COM20020 does not have a fail/safe input on

the RXIN pin. The nPULSE1 signal actually

contains a weak pull-up resistor. This pull-up

should not take the place of the resistor

required on the media for open drain mode.

The Differential Driver Configuration cannot

Traditional Hybrid Configuration.

Like the

Backplane Configuration, the Differential Driver

Configuration does not isolate the node from the

media.

The RXIN signal is directly connected to the

cable via an internal Schmitt trigger. A negative

pulse on this input indicates a logic "1". Lack of

pulse indicates a logic "0". For typical single-

ended backplane applications, RXIN is

connected to nPULSE1 to make the serial

backplane data line. A ground line (from the

coax or twisted pair) should run in parallel with

the signal. For applications requiring different

treatment of the receive signal (like filtering or

squelching), nPULSE1 and RXIN remain as

common mode noise rejection, for example,

would require the signals to be independent of

one another. When the device is in Backplane

Mode, the clock provided by the nPULSE2

signal may be used for encoding the data into a

different encoding scheme or other synchronous

operations needed on the serial data stream.

Programmable TXEN Polarity

To accommodate transceivers with active high

ENABLE pins, the COM20020 contains

programmable TXEN output. To program the

TXEN pin for an active high pulse, the nPULSE2

pin should be connected to ground. To retain

the normal active low polarity, nPULSE2 should

be left open. The polarity determination is made

at power on reset and is valid only for Backplane

Mode operation. The nPULSE2 pin should

remain grounded at all times if an active high

polarity is desired.

Differential Driver Configuration

The Differential Driver Configuration is a special

case of the Backplane Mode. It is a dc coupled

configuration recommended for applications like

car-area networks or other cost-sensitive

applications which do not require direct

compatibility with existing ARCNET nodes and

do not require isolation.

FUNCTIONAL DESCRIPTION

instructions are fetched and then placed into the

instruction registers. One register holds the

opcode, while the other holds the immediate

data. Once the instruction is fetched, it is

decoded by the internal instruction decoder, at

which point the COM20020 proceeds to execute

the instruction. When a no-op instruction is

encountered, the microsequencer enters a timed

loop and the program counter is temporarily

stopped until the loop is complete. When a jump

instruction is encountered, the program counter

is loaded with the jump address from the ROM.

in the "nn" bits indicate the page that the data will be received into (page 0,

1, 2, or 3). If the value of "f" is a logic "1", an offset of 256 bytes will be

added to that page specified in "nn", allowing a finer resolution of the

buffer. Refer to the Selecting RAM Page Size section for further detail. If

the value of "b" is logic "1", the device will also receive broadcasts

(transmissions to ID zero). The RI status bit is set to logic "1" upon

successful reception of a message.

This command prepares the COM20020 to begin a transmit sequence

from RAM buffer page fnn the next time it receives the token. The values

of the "nn" bits indicate which page to transmit from (0, 1, 2, or 3). If "f" is

logic "1", an offset of 256 bytes is the start of the page specified in "nn",

allowing a finer resolution of the buffer. Refer to the Selecting RAM Page

Size section for further detail. When this command is loaded, the TA and

TMA bits are reset to logic "0". The TA bit is set to logic "1" upon

completion of the transmit sequence. The TMA bit will have been set by

this time if the device has received an ACK from the destination node. The

ACK is strictly hardware level, sent by the receiving node before its

continued until the entire packet is read out of

RAM. Refer to Figure 7 for an illustration of the

Sequential Access operation. When switching

between reads and writes, the pointer must first

be written with the starting address. At least

one cycle time should separate the pointer being

loaded and the first read (see timing

parameters).

The integration of the 2K x 8 RAM in the

COM20020 represents significant real estate

savings. The most obvious benefit is the 24-pin

package in which the device is now placed (a

direct result of the integration of RAM). In

addition, the PC board is now free of the

cumbersome external RAM, external latch, and

multiplexed address/data bus and control

functions which were necessary to interface to

the RAM. The integration of RAM represents

significant cost savings because it isolates the

system designer from the changing costs of

external RAM and it minimizes reliability

problems, assembly time and costs, and layout

complexity.

Access Speed

The COM20020 is able to accommodate very

fast access cycles to its registers and buffers.

Arbitration to the buffer does not slow down the

cycle because the pointer based access method

allows data to be prefetched from memory and

stored in a temporary register. Likewise, data

to be written is stored in the temporary register

and then written to memory.

Sequential Access Memory

The internal RAM is accessed via a pointer-

based scheme. Rather than interfering with

system memory, the internal RAM is indirectly

accessed through the Address High and Low

Pointer Registers. The data is channeled to and

from the microcontroller via the 8-bit data

RAM buffer is read by the microcontroller by

writing the corresponding address into the

Address Pointer High and Low Registers (offsets

02H and 03H). Note that the High Register

should be written first, followed by the Low

loads the address. At this point the device

accesses that location and places the

corresponding data into the data register. The

microcontroller then reads the data register

(offset 04H) to obtain the data at the specified

location. If the Auto Increment bit is set to logic

"1", the device will automatically increment the

address and place the next byte of data into

the data register, again to be read by the

by setting bit 0 of the Setup Register equal to

divides the input clock by two, the duty cycle of

the input clock may be relaxed.

The pointer may now be read to determine

how many transfers were completed.

If the device is configured to handle both long

and short packets (see "Define Configuration"

command), then receive pages should always

be 512 bytes long because the user never

knows what the length of the receive packet will

be. In this case, the transmit pages may be

made 256 bytes long, leaving at least 512 bytes

free at any given time. Even if the Command

Chaining operation is being used, 512 bytes is

still guaranteed to be free because Command

Chaining only requires two pages for transmit

and two for receive (in this case, two 256 byte

pages for transmit and two 512 byte pages for

receive, leaving 512 bytes free). Please note

that it is the responsibility of software to reserve

512 bytes for each receive page if the device is

The software flow for controlling the

Configuration, Node ID, Tentative ID, and Next

ID registers is generally limited to the

initialization sequence and the maintenance of

the network map.

Additionally, it is necessary to understand the

details of how the other Internal Registers are

used in the transmit and receive sequences and

to know how the internal RAM buffer is properly

set up. The sequence of events that tie these

actions together is discussed as follows.

Selecting RAM Page Size

configured to handle long packets.

The

COM20020 does not check page boundaries

during reception. If the device is configured to

handle only short packets, then both transmit

and receive pages may be allocated as 256

bytes long, freeing at least 1KByte at any given

time.

During normal operation, the 2K x 8 of RAM is

divided into four pages of 512 bytes each. The

page to be used is specified in the "Enable

Transmit (Receive) from (to) Page fnn"

command, where "nn" specifies page 0, 1, 2, or

3. This allows the user to have constant control

over the allocation of RAM.

Even if the Command Chaining operation is

being used, 1KByte is still guaranteed to be free

because Command Chaining only requires two

pages for transmit and two for receive (in this

case, a total of four 256 byte pages, leaving 1K

free).

When the Offset bit "f" (bit 5 of the "Enable

Transmit (Receive) from (to) Page fnn"

command word) is set to logic "1", an offset of

256 bytes is added to the page specified. For

example: to transmit from the second half of

page 0, the command "Enable Transmit from

Page fnn" (fnn=100 in this case) is issued by

writing 0010 0011 to the Command Register.

This allows a finer resolution of the buffer pages

without affecting software compatibility. This

scheme is useful for applications which

frequently use packet sizes of 256 bytes or less,

especially for microcontroller systems with

The general rule which may be applied to

determine where in RAM a page begins is as

follows:

Address = (nn x 512) + (f x 256).

Transmit Sequence

During a transmit sequence, the microcontroller

selects a 256 or 512 byte segment of the RAM

buffer and writes into it. The appropriate buffer

size is specified in the "Define Configuration"

command. When long packets are enabled, the

COM20020 interprets the packet as either a

long or short packet, depending on whether the

limited memory capacity.

The remaining

portions of the buffer pages which are not

allocated for current transmit or receive packets

may be used as temporary storage for previous

network data, packets to be sent later, or as

extra memory for the system, which may be

indirectly accessed.

packet. In the latter case, Address 3 (COUNT)

automatically sends

FREE BUFFER

ENQUIRY to the destination node in order to

send the message. At this point, one of four

possibilities may occur.

The first possibility is if a free buffer is available

at the destination node, in which case it

responds with an ACKnowledgement. At this

point, the COM20020 fetches the data from the

Transmit Buffer and performs the transmit

sequence. If a successful transmit sequence is

completed, the TMA bit and the TA bit are set to

logic "1". If the packet was not transmitted

successfully, TMA will not be set. A successful

transmission occurs when the receiving node

responds to the packet with an ACK. An

unsuccessful transmission occurs when the

receiving node does not respond to the packet.

would contain the value 512-N, where

represents the number of information bytes in

the message. The SID in Address 0 is used by

the receiving node to reply to the transmitting

node. The COM20020 puts the local ID in this

location, therefore it is not necessary to write

into this location.

Please note that a short packet may contain

between 1 and 253 data bytes, while a long

packet may contain between 257 and 508 data

bytes. A minimum value of 257 exists on a long

packet so that the COUNT is expressable in

eight bits. This leaves three exception packet

lengths which do not fit into either a short or

long packet; packet lengths of 254, 255, or 256

bytes. If packets of these lengths must be sent,

the user must add dummy bytes to the packet

in order to make the packet fit into a long

packet.

The second possibility is if the destination node

responds to the Free Buffer Enquiry with a

Negative AcKnowledgement. A NAK occurs

when the RI bit of the destination node is a logic

"1". In this case, the token is passed on from

the transmitting node to the next node. The next

time the transmitter receives the token, it will

again transmit a FREE BUFFER ENQUIRY. If a

NAK is again received, the token is again

passed onto the next node. The Excessive NAK

bit of the Diagnostic Status Register is used to

prevent an endless sending of FBE's and NAK's.

If no limit of FBE-NAK sequences existed, the

transmitting node would continue issuing a Free

Buffer Enquiry, even though it would

continuously receive a NAK as a response. The

EXCNAK bit generates an interrupt (if enabled)

in order to tell the microcontroller to disable the

transmitter via the "Disable Transmitter"

command. This causes the transmission to be

abandoned and the TA bit to be set to a logic "1"

when the node next receives the token, while the

TMA bit remains at a logic "0". Please refer to

the Improved Diagnostics section for further

detail on the EXCNAK bit.

Once the packet is written into the buffer, the

microcontroller awaits a logic "1" on the TA bit,

indicating that a previous transmit command

has concluded and another may be issued.

Each time the message is loaded and a transmit

command issued, it will take a variable amount

of time before the message is transmitted,

depending on the traffic on the network and the

location of the token at the time the transmit

command was issued. The conclusion of the

Transmit Command will generate an interrupt if

the Interrupt Mask allows it. If the device is

configured for the Command Chaining

operation, please see the Command Chaining

section for further detail on the transmit

sequence. Once the TA bit becomes a logic "1",

The third possibility which may occur after a

FREE BUFFER ENQUIRY is issued is if the

destination node does not respond at all. In this

case, the TA bit is set to a logic "1", while the

TMA bit remains at a logic "0". The user should

determine whether the node should try to

reissue the transmit command.

microcontroller will be interrupted if the

corresponding bit in the Interrupt Mask Register

is set to logic "1".

Otherwise, the

microcontroller must periodically check the

Status Register. Once the microcontroller is

alerted to the fact that the previous reception

has concluded, it may issue the "Enable

Receive to Page fnn" command, which resets

the RI bit to logic "0" and selects a new page in

the RAM buffer. Again, the appropriate buffer

size is specified in the "Define Configuration"

The fourth possibility is if a non-traditional

response is received (some pattern other than

ACK or NAK, such as noise). In this case, the

token is not passed onto the next node, which

causes the Lost Token Timer of the next node to

command.

Typically, the page which just

received the data packet will be read by the

microcontroller at this point. Once the "Enable

Receive to Page fnn" command is issued, the

microcontroller attends to other duties. There is

no way of knowing how long the new reception

will take, since another node may transmit a

packet at any time. When another node does

transmit a packet to this node, and if the

"Define Configuration" command has enabled

the reception of long packets, the COM20020

interprets the packet as either a long or short

packet, depending on whether the content of the

buffer location 2 is zero or non-zero. The format

of the buffer is shown in Figure 8. Address 0

contains the Source Identifier (SID), Address 1

contains the Destination Identifier (DID), and

Address 2 contains, for short packets, the value

256-N, where N represents the message length,

or for long packets, the value 0, indicating that it

is indeed a long packet. In the latter case,

Address 3 contains the value 512-N, where N

represents the message length. Note that on

reception, the COM20020 deposits packets into

the RAM buffer in the same format that the

transmitting node arranges them, which allows

time out, thus generating

reconfiguration.

network

The "Disable Transmitter" command may be

used to cancel any pending transmit command

when the COM20020 next receives the token.

Normally, in an active network, this command

will set the TA status bit to a logic "1" when the

token is received. If the "Disable Transmitter"

command does not cause the TA bit to be set in

the time it takes the token to make a round trip

through the network, one of three situations

exists. Either the node is disconnected from the

network, or there are no other nodes on the

network, or the external receive circuitry has

failed. These situations can be determined by

either using the improved diagnostic features of

the COM20020 or using another software

timeout which is greater than the worst case

time for a round trip token pass, which occurs

when all nodes transmit a maximum length

message.

FIGURE 9 - COMMAND CHAINING STATUS REGISTER QUEUE

Up to two outstanding transmit interrupts

and two outstanding receive interrupts are

stored by the device, along with their

respective status bits.

COMMAND CHAINING

The Command Chaining operation allows

consecutive transmissions and receptions to

occur without host microcontroller intervention.

Through the use of a dual two-level FIFO,

commands to be transmitted and received, as

well as the status bits, are pipelined.

The Interrupt Mask bits act on TTA (Rising

Transition on Transmitter Available) for

transmit operations and TRI (Rising

Transition of Receiver Inhibited) for receive

operations. TTA is set upon completion of

a packet transmission only. TRI is set upon

completion of a packet reception only.

Typically there is no need to mask the TTA

and TRI bits after clearing the interrupt.

In order for the COM20020 to be compatible

with previous SMSC ARCNET device drivers,

the device defaults to the non-chaining mode.

In order to take advantage of the Command

Chaining operation, the Command Chaining

Mode must be enabled via a logic "1" on bit 6 of

the Configuration Register.

The traditional TA and RI bits are still

available to reflect the present status of the

device.

In Command Chaining, the Status Register

appears as in Figure 9.

Transmit Command Chaining

When the processor issues the first "Enable

Transmit to Page fnn" command, the

COM20020 responds in the usual manner by

resetting the TA and TMA bits to prepare for the

transmission from the specified page. The TA

bit can be used to see if there is currently a

transmission pending, but the TA bit is really

meant to be used in the non-chaining mode

The following is a list of Command Chaining

guidelines for the software programmer. Further

detail can be found in the Transmit Command

Chaining and Receive Command Chaining

sections.

The TTA bits provide the relevant

information for the device in the Command

Chaining mode.

Up to two outstanding transmissions and two

outstanding receptions can be pending at any

given time. The commands may be given in

any order.

In the Command Chaining Mode, at any time

after the first command is issued, the processor

can issue a second "Enable Transmit from Page

fnn" command. The COM20020 stores the fact

that the second transmit command was issued,

along with the page number.

the Status Register will again be updated with

the results of the second transmission and a

second interrupt resulting from the second

transmission will occur.

The COM20020

guarantees minimum of 200ns interrupt

inactive time interval before the following edge.

After the first transmission is completed, the

COM20020 updates the Status Register by

setting the TTA bit, which generates an

interrupt. The interrupt service routine should

read the Status Register. At this point, the TTA

bit will be found to be a logic "1" and the TMA

(Transmit Message Acknowledge) bit will tell the

processor whether the transmission was

successful. After reading the Status Register,

the "Clear Transmit Interrupt" command is

issued, thus resetting the TTA bit and clearing

The Transmitter Available (TA) bit of the

Interrupt Mask Register now masks only the

TTA bit of the Status Register, not the TA bit as

in the non-chaining mode. Since the TTA bit is

only set upon transmission of a packet (not by

RESET), and since the TTA bit may easily be

reset by issuing a "Clear Transmit Interrupt"

command, there is no need to use the TA bit of

Transmit Interrupt" command will clear the TTA

bit and the interrupt. It is not necessary,

however, to clear the bit or the interrupt right

away because the status of the transmit

operation is double buffered in order to retain

the results of the first transmission for analysis

by the processor. This information will remain

in the Status Register until the "Clear Transmit

Interrupt" command is issued. Note that the

interrupt will remain active until the command is

issued, and the second interrupt will not occur

until the first interrupt is acknowledged. The

COM20020 guarantees a minimum of 200nS

interrupt inactive time interval between

interrupts. The TMA bit is also double buffered

to reflect whether the appropriate transmission

was a success. The TMA bit should only be

considered valid after the corresponding TTA bit

has been set to a logic "1". The TMA bit never

causes an interrupt.

Receive Command Chaining

Like the Transmit Command Chaining

operation, the processor can issue two

consecutive "Enable Receive from Page fnn"

commands.

After the first packet is received into the first

specified page, the TRI bit of the Status

serviced immediately. Typically, the interrupt

service routine will read the Status Register. At

this point, the RI bit will be found to be a logic

"1". After reading the Status Register, the

"Clear Receive Interrupt" command should be

issued, thus resetting the TRI bit and clearing

the interrupt. Note that only the "Clear Receive

Interrupt" command will clear the TRI bit and

the interrupt. It is not necessary, however, to

clear the bit or the interrupt right away because

When the token is received again, the second

Internal Reset Logic

The COM20020 includes special reset circuitry

to guarantee smooth operation during reset.

in a variety of systems and modes of operation.

A minimum of

200nS interrupt inactive time interval between

The second reception will occur as soon as a

second packet is sent to the node, as long as

the second "Enable Receive to Page fnn"

command was issued. The operation is as if a

new "Enable Receive to Page fnn" command

has just been issued. After the first Receive

In the COM20020, the Receive Inhibit (RI) bit of

the Interrupt Mask Register now masks only the

TRI bit of the Status Register, not the RI bit as

in the non-chaining mode. Since the TRI bit is

only set upon reception of a packet (not by

command, there is no need to use the RI bit of

asserted on the nRESET IN input.

The

minimum reset pulse width is 3.2ms. This pulse

width is used by the internal digital filter, which

filters short glitches to allow only valid resets to

occur.

Upon reset, the transmitter portion of the device

is disabled and the internal registers assume

those states outlined in the Internal Registers

section.

In Command Chaining mode, the "Disable

Receiver" command will cancel the oldest

reception, unless the reception has already

begun. If both receptions should be canceled,

two "Disable Receiver" commands should be

issued.

After the nRESET IN signal is removed the user

may write to the internal registers. Since writing

a non-zero value to the Node ID Register wakes

up the COM20020 core, the Setup Register

should be written before the Node ID Register.

Once the Node ID Register is written to, the

COM20020 reads the value and executes two

write cycles to the RAM buffer. Address 0 is

written with the data D1H and address 1 is

written with the Node ID. The data pattern D1H

was chosen arbitrarily, and is meant to provide

assurance of proper microsequencer operation.

Next, the uniqueness of the Node ID value

The TX Enable bit should still be a logic "0" until

it is ensured that the Node ID is unique. If this

node ID already exists, the Duplicate ID bit of

the Diagnostic Status Register is set after a

maximum of 840mS (or 1680mS if the ET1 and

ET2 bits are other than 1,1). To determine if

another node on the network already has this ID,

the COM20020 compares the value in the Node

ID Register with the DID's of the token, and

determines whether there is a response to it.

This function is

necessary to limit the number of times a sender

issues a FBE to a node with no available buffer.

When the destination node replies to 128 FBEs

with 128 NAKs or 4 FBEs with 4 NAKs, the

EXCNAK bit of the sender is set, generating an

user to troubleshoot the network or the node. If

unusual events are occurring on the network,

the user may find it valuable to use the TXEN bit

of the Configuration Register to qualify events.

Different combinations of the RCVACT, TOKEN,

and TXEN bits, as shown indicate different

situations:

At this point the software may

abandon the transmission via the "Disable

Transmitter" command. This sets the TA bit to

logic "1" when the node next receives the token,

to allow a different transmission to occur. The

timeout value for the EXNACK bit (128 or 4) is

determined by the FOUR-NAKS bit on the Setup

The user may choose to wait for more NAK's

before disabling the transmitter by taking

advantage of the wraparound counter of the

EXCNAK bit. When the EXCNAK bit goes high,

indicating 128 or 4 NAKs, the "POR Clear

OSCILLATOR

The COM20020 contains circuitry which, in

conjunction with an external parallel resonant

crystal or TTL clock, forms an oscillator.

If an external crystal is used, two capacitors are

needed (one from each leg of the crystal to

ground). No external resistor is required, since

the COM20020 contains an internal resistor.

The crystal must have an accuracy of 0.020%

or better.

The XTAL2 side of the crystal may be loaded

with a single 74HC-type buffer in order to

generate a clock for other devices.

The user may attach an external TTL clock,

rather than a crystal, to the XTAL1 signal. In

this case, a 390W pull-up resistor is required on

XTAL1, while XTAL2 should be left

unconnected.

*Stresses above those listed may cause permanent damage to the device. This is a stress rating only

and functional operation of the device at these or any other condition above those indicated in the

operational sections of this specification is not implied.

NOTE: When powering this device from laboratory or system power supplies, it is important that the

Absolute Maximum Ratings not be exceeded or device failure can result. Some power supplies exhibit

voltage spikes or "glitches" on their outputs when the AC power is switched on or off. In addition,

voltage transients on the AC power line may appear on the DC output. If this possibility exists it is

suggested that a clamp circuit be used.
