3.6.7.1

Operational Loopback

Operational loopback is provided for 10 Mbps half-duplex links when Register bit 16.8 = 0. Data

transmitted by the MAC (TXData) is looped back on the receive side of the MII (RXData).

Operational loopback is not provided for 100 Mbps links, full-duplex links, or when 16.8 = 1.

3.6.7.2

Test Loopback

A test loopback function is provided for diagnostic testing of the LXT971A. During test loopback,

twisted-pair and fiber interfaces are disabled. Data transmitted by the MAC is internally looped

back by the LXT971A and returned to the MAC.

Test loopback is available for both 100BASE-TX and 10BASE-T operation, and is enabled by

setting the following register bits:

• Register bit 0.14 = 1

• Register bit 0.8 = 1 (full-duplex)

• Register bit 0.12 = 0 (disable auto-negotiation).

Test loopback is also available for 100BASE-FX operation. Test loopback in this mode is enabled

by setting Register bit 0.14 = 1 and tying the SD input to an LVPECL logic High value (2.4 V).
