In both modes, the jabber circuitry, collision detection,
and collision oscillator functions are disabled and the
AUI and RXD+/– squelch circuits are active.
TPEX External Components
Figure 1 shows a typical twisted-pair port external
components schematic. The resistors used should
have a ±1% tolerance to ensure interoperability with
10BASE-T-compliant networks. Filters and pulse trans-
formers are necessary devices that have a major influ-
ence on the performance and compliance of a TPEX-
based MAU. Specifically, the transmitted waveforms
are heavily influenced by filter characteristics and the
twisted-pair receivers employ several criteria to contin-
uously monitor the incoming signal’s amplitude and
timing characteristics to determine when and if to as-
sert the internal carrier sense. For these reasons, it is
crucial that the values and tolerances of the external
components be as specified. Several manufacturers
produce a module that combines the functions of the
transmit and receive filters and the pulse transformers
into one package.
