DESCRIPTION OF ACTIVITY
00
Idle
No activity is occurring (this is the default mode).
01
Status
Status information is being sent from the phy layer to the TSB12C01A.
10
Receive
An incoming packet is being sent from the phy layer to the TSB12C01A.
11
Transmit
The TSB12C01A has been given control of the bus to send an outgoing packet.
7.4.2
The TSB12C01A has control of the bus after receiving permission from the phy layer.

NAME
DESCRIPTION OF ACTIVITY
00
Idle
The TSB12C01A releases the bus (transmission has been completed).
01
Hold
The TSB12C01A is holding the bus while data is being prepared for transmission, or the
TSB12C01A wants to send another packet without arbitration.
10
Transmit
An outgoing packet is being sent from the TSB12C01A to phy layer.
11
Reserved
None
7.5
A serial stream of information is sent across the LREQ terminal whenever the TSB12C01A needs to request
the bus or access a register that is located in the phy layer. The size of the stream varies depending on
whether the transfer is a bus request, a read command, or a write command. Regardless of the type of
transfer, a start bit of 1 is required at the beginning of the stream and a stop bit of 0 is required at the end
of the stream.

BIT(S)
NAME
DESCRIPTION
0
Start Bit
Start bit indicates the beginning of the transfer (always set).
1–3
Request Type
Request type indicates the type of bus request (see Table 7–7 for the encoding of this
field).
4–5
Request Speed
Request speed indicates the speed at which the phy interface sends the packet for this
particular request (see Table 7–8 for the encoding of this field).
6
Stop Bit
Stop bit indicates the end of the transfer (always cleared).
