MEDIA CONVERSION
This section describes the ability of the BCM5221 to act as a Media Convertor (100Base-TX <> 100Base-FX). The BCM5221
includes internal receive channel FIFOs to allow the data to cross over the clock boundaries without any requirement for
external buffering or clock multiplexing.
Figure 6 on page 11 illustrates how to implement glueless media conversion using two BCM5221 devices. Note that Auto-
negotiation should be disabled for both of the BCM5221 devices. Additionally, half-duplex operation between the two 5221
devices is not supported. Media Conversion must be implemented in full-duplex. Note that this does not preclude the use of
a BCM5221 media converter in a half-duplex system.
The following pin strapping is required for Media Conversion. Pull-up and pull-down values of 4.7 KΩ are recommended.
100BASE-TX PHY:
• LINKLED#/MEDIA_CONV# (pin 35) must be pulled low
• MII_EN (pin 18) must be pulled low
• ANEN (pin 38) must be pulled low
• F100 (pin 37) must be pulled high or left unconnected
• FDX (pin 39) must be pulled high
• SD+ and SD- (pins 21 and 19) must be pulled low or left unconnected
100BASE-FX PHY:
• LINKLED#/MEDIA_CONV# (pin 35) must be pulled low
• MII_EN (pin 18) must be pulled low
• ANEN (pin 38) must be pulled low
• F100 (pin 37) must be pulled high or left unconnected
• FDX (pin 39) must be pulled high
• SD+ and SD- (pins 21 and 19) must be connected as specified in the 100BASE-FX section of this application note.
