PMA子层介绍
之前对PMA进行过学习,但是因为WPS的缘故(也有可能是我硬盘的原因),保存的学习笔记直接挂了。于是一起之下开始使用UE,这种纯文本编辑工具。如果这个还出问题的话,下一个我决定回到notepad上去。
我们一般对PCS了解很多,但是对PMA了解甚少,原因是因为它完全嵌入到PHY内部工作。PMA是干什么的子层呢? IEEE802.3 clause 40一开始就这样说:Together,the PCS and the PMA sublayer comprise a 1000base-t Physical layer.
PMA的位置,也就是说在PCS和AutoNEG之间了。
GMII连接的PHY,首先连接到PCS子层,之后通过PMA连接到autoneg,之后通MDI接口连接到物理媒质上(Cat5/5+ cable).
PMA:1000BASE-T Physical Medium Attachment (PMA) Sublayer,顾名思义
what is PMA?
1、位置。The PMA is the interface between the PCS and AutoThe PMA is the interface between the PCS and Auto--negotiation
2、作用。Primary role is to Serialize and DePrimary role is to Serialize and De--serialize the incoming data serialize the incoming data stream coming to and from the MDIstream coming to and from the MDI.
3、实现。(1)Implements PAMImplements PAM--5 (Voltage dependant signaling between 5 (Voltage dependant signaling between MDI/PMA)MDI/PMA.
(2)Controls Partial ResponseControls Partial Response.
PCS//--->PCS takes in 8 bits of parallel data and sends “5 level symbols“ out to PMA;
PMA//--->PMA takes in “5 level symbols“ data and sends “5 Voltage levels“ out to MDI;
作用:The PMA adds partial response and converts the quinary symbols to PAM-5 signaling to interface with the MDI.
PMA的两个基本部分 PAM-5编码和部分响应
首先让我们看看PAM-5
The MDI and PMA use a modulation scheme over each pair which is called, 5-level Pulse Amplitude Modulation (PAM-5)
PAM5 signaling信号方式:
(1)Five discrete voltage levels [-1, -?, 0, +?, +1] volts
(2)Lower signaling bandwidth
(3)Allows for 2 bits per symbol
再让我们什么是 Partial Response?
Partial Response acts like a digital filter
–This is accomplished by introducing a
