Datasheet  
1. General Description  
The Realtek RTL8211C(L) is a highly integrated Ethernet transceiver that complies with 10Base-T,  
100Base-TX, and 1000Base-T IEEE 802.3 standards. It provides all the necessary physical layer functions  
to transmit and receive Ethernet packets over CAT 5 UTP cable or CAT 3 UTP (10Mbps only) cable.  
The RTL8211C(L) uses state-of-the-art DSP technology and an Analog Front End (AFE) to enable  
high-speed data transmission and reception over UTP cable. Functions such as Crossover Detection &  
Auto-Correction, polarity correction, adaptive equalization, cross-talk cancellation, echo cancellation,  
timing recovery, and error correction are implemented in the RTL8211C(L) to provide robust transmission  
and reception capabilities at 10Mbps, 100Mbps, or 1000Mbps.  
Data transfer between MAC and PHY is via the Reduced Gigabit Media Independent Interface (RGMII) for  
1000Base-T, 10Base-T, and 100Base-TX.

6. Function Description  
6.1. Transmitter  
Based on state-of-the-art DSP technology and mixed-mode signal processing technology, the  
RTL8211C(L) is capable of operating at 10/100/1000Mbps link speed over standard CAT.5 UTP cable and  
CAT.3 UTP cable (10Mbps).  
6.1.1. RGMII (1000Mbps) Mode  
The RTL8211C(L)’s PCS layer receives data bytes from the MAC through the RGMII interface and  
performs the generation of continuous code-groups through 4D-PAM5 coding technology. Then those code  
groups are passed through a waveform-shaping filter to minimize EMI effect, and are transmitted onto the  
4-pair CAT5 cable at 125MBaud/s through a D/A converter.  
6.1.2. RGMII (100Mbps) Mode  
The transmitted 4-bit nibbles (TXD[3:0]) from the MAC, clocked at 25MHz (TXC), are converted into 5B  
symbol code through 4B/5B coding technology, then through scrambling and serializing, are converted to  
125MHz NRZ and NRZI signals. After that, the NRZI signal are passed to the MLT3 encoder, then to the  
D/A converter and transmitted onto the media.  
6.1.3. RGMII (10Mbps) Mode  
The transmit 4-bit nibbles (TXD[3:0]) from the MAC, clocked at 2.5MHz (TXC), are serialized into  
10Mbps serial data. Then the 10Mbps serial data is converted into a Manchester-encoded data stream and is  
transmitted onto the media by the D/A converter.  
6.2. Receiver  
6.2.1. RGMII (1000Mbps) Mode  
Input signals from the media first pass through the on-chip sophisticated hybrid circuit to subtract the  
transmitted signal from the input signal for effective reduction of near-end echo. Afterwards, the received  
signal is processed with state-of-the-art technology, such as adaptive equalization, BLW (Baseline  
Wander) correction, cross-talk cancellation, echo cancellation, timing recovery, error correction, and  
4D-PAM5 decoding. Then, the 8-bit-wide data is recovered and is sent to the RGMII interface at a clock  
speed of 125MHz. The Rx MAC retrieves the packet data from the receive RGMII interface and sends it to  
the Rx Buffer Manager.

Datasheet  
6.2.2. RGMII (100Mbps) Mode  
The MLT3 signal is processed with an ADC, equalizer, BLW (Baseline Wander) correction, timing  
recovery, MLT3 and NRZI decoder, descrambler, 4B/5B decoder, and is then presented to the RGMII  
interface in 4-bit-wide nibbles at a clock speed of 25MHz.  
6.2.3. RGMII (10Mbps) Mode  
The received differential signal is converted into a Manchester-encoded stream first. Next, the stream is  
processed with a Manchester decoder, and is de-serialized into 4-bit-wide nibbles. The 4-bit nibbles are  
presented to the RGMII interface at a clock speed of 2.5MHz.  
6.3. Hardware Configuration  
The operation speed, interface mode, and PHY address can be set by the CONFIG pins. The respective  
value mapping of CONFIG with the configurable vector is listed in Table 11. To set the CONFIG pins, an  
external pull-high or pull-low via resister is required.

6.4. LED and PHY Address Configuration  
In order to reduce the pin count on the RTL8211C(L), the LED pins are duplex with the PHY address pins.  
Because the PHYAD strap options share the LED output pins, the external combinations required for  
strapping and LED usage must be considered in order to avoid contention. Specifically, when the LED  
outputs are used to drive LEDs directly, the active state of each output driver is dependent on the logic level  
sampled by the corresponding PHYAD input upon power-up/reset. For example, as Figure 3 (left-side)  
shows, if a given PHYAD input is resistively pulled high then the corresponding output will be configured  
as an active low driver. On the right side, we can see that if a given PHYAD input is resistively pulled low  
then the corresponding output will be configured as an active high driver. The PHY address configuration  
pins should not be connected to GND or VCC directly, but must be pulled high or low through a resistor (ex  
4.7K). If no LED indications are needed, the components of the LED path (LED+510) can be removed.

6.5. MAC/PHY Interface  
The RTL8211C(L) supports industry standard and is suitable for most off-the-shelf MACs with a RGMII  
interface.  
6.5.1. RGMII  
In 1000Base-T mode (RGMII interface is selected), TXC and RXC sources are 125MHz. TXC will always  
be generated by the MAC and RXC will always be generated by the PHY. TXD[3:0] and RXD[3:0] signals  
are used for date transitions on rising edge and on falling edge of clock.  
6.5.2. Management Interface  
The management interface provides access to the internal registers through the MDC and MDIO pins as  
described in IEEE 802.3u section 22. The MDC signal, provided by the MAC, is the management data  
clock reference to the MDIO signal. The MDIO is the management data input/output and is a bi-directional  
signal that runs synchronously to MDC. The MDIO pin needs a 10k Ohm pull-up resistor to maintain the  
MDIO high during idle and turnaround.  
Preamble suppression is the default setting of the RTL8211C(L) after power-on. However, there still must  
be at least one idle bit between operations.  
Up to 32 RTL8211C(L)s can share the same MDIO line. In switch/router applications, each port should be  
assigned a unique address during the hardware reset sequence, and it can only be addressed via that unique  
PHY address. For detailed information on the RTL8211C(L) management registers, see section 7 Register  
Descriptions, page 22.

6.6. Auto-Negotiation  
Auto-Negotiation is a mechanism to determine the fastest connection between two link partners. For copper  
media applications, it was introduced in IEEE 802.3u for Ethernet and Fast Ethernet, and then in  
IEEE 802.3ab to address extended functions for Gigabit Ethernet. It performs the following:  
Auto-Negotiation Priority Resolution  
Auto-Negotiation Master/Slave Resolution  
Auto-Negotiation PAUSE/ASYMMETRIC PAUSE Resolution  
Crossover Detection & Auto-Correction Resolution  
Upon de-assertion of a hardware reset, the RTL8211C(L) can be configured to have auto-negotiation  
enabled, or be forced to operate in 10Base-T, 100Base-TX, or 1000Base-T mode via the CONFIG pins (see  
section 6.3 Hardware Configuration, page 10). If the RTL8211C(L) is configured to operate only in  
1000Base-T mode, then auto-negotiation is still enabled with only 1000Base-T mode advertised.  
The auto-negotiation process is initiated automatically upon any of the following:  
Power-up  
Hardware reset  
Software reset (register 0.15)  
Restart auto-negotiation (register 0.9)  
Transition from power down to power up (register 0.11)

Datasheet  
6.6.1. Auto-Negotiation Priority Resolution  
Upon the start of auto-negotiation, to advertise its capabilities each station transmits a 16-bit packet called  
a Link Code Word (LCW), within a burst of 17 to 33 Fast Link Pulses (FLP). A device capable of  
auto-negotiation transmits and receives the FLPs. The receiver must identify three identical LCWs before  
the information is authenticated and used in the arbitration process. The devices decode the base LCW and  
select capabilities with the highest common denominator supported by both devices.  
To advertise 1000Base-T capability, both link partners, sharing the same link medium, should engage in  
Next Page (1000Base-T Message Page, Unformatted Page 1, and Unformatted Page 2) exchange.  
Auto-negotiation ensures that the highest priority protocol will be selected as the link speed based on the  
following priorities advertised through the Link Code Word (LCW) exchange. Refer to IEEE 802.3 Clause  
28 for detailed information.  
1. 1000Base-T Full Duplex (highest priority)  
2. 1000Base-T Half Duplex  
3. 100Base-Tx Full Duplex  
4. 100Base-Tx Half Duplex  
5. 10Base-T Full Duplex  
6. 10Base-T Half Duplex (lowest priority)  
6.6.2. Auto-Negotiation Master/Slave Resolution  
To establish a valid 1000Base-T link, the Master/Slave mode of both link partners should be resolved  
through the auto-negotiation process:  
„ Master Priority:  
‹ Multi-port > Single port  
‹ Manual > Non-manual  
„ Determination of Master/Slave configuration from LCW:  
‹ Manual_MASTER=U0*U1  
‹ Manual_SLAVE=U0*!U1

Where: U0 is bit 0 of the Unformatted Page 1  
U1 is bit 1 of the Unformatted Page 1  
U2 is bit 2 of the Unformatted Page 1  
„ Where there are two stations with the same configuration, the one with higher Master-Slave seed  
SB[10:0] in the unformatted page 2 shall become Master.  
„ Master-Slave configuration process resolution:  
‹ Successful: Bit 10.15 Master-Slave Configuration Fault is set to logical 0, and bit 10.14 is set to  
logical 1 for Master resolution, or set to logical 0 for Slave resolution.  
‹ Unsuccessful: Auto-Negotiation restarts.  
‹ Fault detect: Bit 10.15 is set to logical 1 to indicate that a configuration fault has been detected.  
Auto-Negotiation restarts automatically. This happens when both stations are set to manual Master  
mode or manual Slave mode, or after seven attempts to configure the Master-Slave relationship  
through the seed method has failed.  
6.6.3. Auto-Negotiation PAUSE/ASYMMETRIC PAUSE Resolution  
Auto-negotiation is also used to determine the flow control capability between link partners. Flow control  
is a mechanism that can force a busy transmitting link partner to stop transmitting in a full duplex  
environment by sending special MAC control frames. In IEEE 802.3u, a PAUSE control frame had already  
been defined. However, in IEEE 802.3ab, a new ASY-PAUSE control frame was defined; if the MAC can  
only generate PAUSE frames but is not able to respond to PAUSE frames generated by the link partner,  
then it is called Asymmetric PAUSE.  
PAUSE/ASYMMETRIC PAUSE capability can be configured by setting the ANAR bits 10 and 11 (Table  
25, page 26). Link partner PAUSE capabilities can be determined from ANLPAR bits 10 and 11 (Table 26,  
page 27). A PHY layer device such as the RTL8211C(L) is not directly involved in PAUSE resolution, but  
simply advertises and reports PAUSE capabilities during the Auto-Negotiation process. The MAC is  
responsible for final PAUSE/ASYMMETRIC PAUSE resolution after a link is established, and is  
responsible for correct flow control actions thereafter.

6.7. Crossover Detection and Auto-Correction  
Ethernet needs a crossover mechanism between both link partners to cross the transmit signal to the  
receiver when the medium is twisted-pair cable (e.g., CAT.3 or CAT.5 UTP). Crossover Detection &  
Auto-Correction Configuration eliminates the need for crossover cables between devices, such as two PC’s  
connected to each other with a CAT.3 or CAT.5 Ethernet cable. The basic concept is to assume the initial  
default setting is MDI mode, and then check the link status. If no link is established after a certain time,  
change to MDI Crossover mode and repeat the process until a link is established. An 11-bit pseudo-random  
timer is applied to decide the mode change time interval.  
Crossover Detection & Auto-Correction is not a part of the Auto-Negotiation process, but it utilizes the  
process to exchange the MDI/MDI Crossover configuration. If the RTL8211C(L) is configured to only  
operate in 100Base-TX or only in 10Base-T mode, then Auto-Negotiation is disabled only if the Crossover  
Detection & Auto-Correction function is also disabled. If Crossover Detection & Auto-Correction are  
enabled, then Auto-Negotiation is enabled and the RTL8211C(L) advertises only 100Base-TX mode or  
10Base-T mode. If the speed of operation is configured manually and Auto-Negotiation is still enabled  
because the Crossover Detection & Auto-Correction function is enabled, then the duplex advertised is as  
follows:  
1. If CONFIG is set to half duplex, then only half duplex is advertised.  
2. If CONFIG is set to full duplex, then both full and half duplex are advertised.  
If the user wishes to advertise only full duplex at a particular speed with the Crossover Detection &  
Auto-Correction function enabled, then Auto-Negotiation should be enabled (register 0.12) with the  
appropriate advertising capabilities set in registers 4 or 9. The Crossover Detection & Auto-Correction  
function may be enabled/disabled by setting (register 16.6) manually.  
After initial configuration following a hardware reset, Auto-Negotiation can be enabled and disabled via  
register 0.12, speed via registers 0.13, 0.6, and duplex via register 0.8. The abilities that are advertised can  
be changed via registers 4 and 9. Changes to registers 0.12, 0.13, 0.6, and 0.8 do not take effect unless at  
least one of the following events occurs:  
Software reset (register 0.15)  
Restart of Auto-Negotiation (register 0.9)  
Transition from power-down to power-up (register 0.11)  
Registers 4 and 9 are internally latched once each time Auto-Negotiation enters the ABILITY DETECT  
state in the arbitration state machine (IEEE 802.3). Hence a write into register 4 or 9 has no effect once the  
RTL8211C(L) begins to transmit Fast Link Pulses.

Register 7 is treated in a similar manner as 4 and 9 during additional Next Page exchanges. Once the  
RTL8211C(L) completes Auto-Negotiation, it updates the various statuses in registers 1, 5, 6, and 10. The  
speed, duplex, page received, and Auto-Negotiation completed statuses are also available in registers 17  
and 19.  
6.8. LED Configuration  
The RTL8211C supports six LED pins, suitable for multiple types of applications that can directly drive the  
LEDs. These pins are LED10, LED100, LED1000, LEDDUP, LEDRX, and LEDTX. The output of these  
pins is determined by setting the corresponding bits in register 24. The functionality of the LEDs is shown  
in Table 15.

The RTL8211CL supports three LED pins, suitable for multiple types of applications that can directly drive  
the LEDs. The output of these pins is determined by setting the corresponding bits in Page2 register 26. To  
change the register page, see note 2 (below) and Table 18, page 20. The functionality of the RTL8211CL  
LEDs is shown in Table 16.  
Note 1: LED0, LED1, and LED2 are for RTL8211CL use. LED 1000, LED100, LED10, LEDTX, LEDRX,  
and LED DUPLEX are for RTL8211C use.  
Note 2: To switch to Page2, Register 26, set Register 31 Data=0002. After setting, switch to PHY`s Page0  
(Register 31 Data=0000).

6.9. Polarity Correction  
The RTL8211C(L) automatically corrects polarity errors on the receive pairs in 1000Base-T and 10Base-T  
modes. In 100Base-TX mode polarity is irrelevant. In 1000Base-T mode, receive polarity errors are  
automatically corrected based on the sequence of idle symbols. Once the descrambler is locked, the polarity  
is also locked on all pairs. The polarity becomes unlocked only when the receiver loses lock. In 10Base-T  
mode, polarity errors are corrected based on the detection of validly spaced link pulses. The detection  
begins during the MDI crossover detection phase and locks when the 10Base-T link is up. The polarity  
becomes unlocked when the link is down.  
6.10. Power  
The RTL8211C(L) implements a voltage regulator to generate operating power. The system vendor needs  
to supply a 3.3V, 1A steady power source. The RTL8211C(L) converts the 3.3V steady power source to  
1.05V via a switching regulator.  
Another possible implementation is to use an external regulator to generate 1.0V. Be sure that the regulator  
meets the required current rate.  
The RTL8211C(L) implements an option for the RGMII power pins. The standard I/O voltage of the  
RGMII interface is 3.3V, with support for 2.5V to lower EMI. The 2.5V power source for RGMII is from an  
external regulator.

Datasheet  
8. Switching Regulator  
The RTL8211C(L)-GR incorporates a state-of-the-art switching regulator that requires a well-designed  
PCB layout in order to achieve good power efficiency and lower the output voltage ripple and input  
overshoot.  
8.1. PCB Layout  
The input 3.3V power trace connected to VDDREG should be wider than 40mils.  
The bulk de-coupling capacitors (C82 and C83) should be placed within 200mils (0.5cm) of VDDREG  
to prevent input voltage overshoot.  
The output power trace out of REG_OUT should be wider than 60mils.  
Keep L1 (4.7µH) within 200mils (0.5cm) of REG_OUT.  
Keep C18 and C19 within 200mils (0.5cm) of L1 to ensure stable output power and better power  
efficiency.  
Both C18 and C82 are strongly recommended to be ceramic capacitors.  
Note: Violation of the above rules will damage the IC.

Note 1: The ESR is equivalent to RDC or DCR. Lower ESR inductor values will promote a higher efficiency switching  
regulator.  
Note 2: The power inductor used by the switching regulator should be able to withstand 600mA of current.  
Note 3: Typically, if the power inductors ESR at 1MHz is below 0.8Ω, the switching regulator efficiency will be above  
75%. However the actual switching regulator efficiency must be measured according to the method described in section 8.5  
Efficiency Measurement, page 41.

8.3. Measurement Criteria  
In order for the switching regulator to operate properly, the input and output voltage measurement criteria  
must be met. From the input side, the voltage overshoot cannot exceed 4V; otherwise the chip may be  
damaged. Note that the voltage signal must be measured directly at VDDREG, not at the capacitor. In order  
to reduce the input voltage overshoot, the C82 and C83 must be placed close to VDDREG. The following  
figures show what a good input voltage and a bad one look like.

RTL8211C & RTL8211CL  
Datasheet  
From the output side measured at REG_OUT, the voltage ripple must be within 100mV. Choosing different  
types and values of output capacitor (C18, C19) and power inductor (L1) will seriously affect the efficiency  
and output voltage ripple of switching regulators. The following figures show the effects of different types  
of capacitors on the switching regulator’s output voltage.  
The blue square wave signal (top row) is measured at the output of REG_OUT before the power inductor  
(L1). The yellow signal (second row) is measured after the power inductor (L1), and shows there is a  
voltage ripple. The green signal (lower row) is the current. Data in the following figures was measured at  
gigabit speed.

RTL8211C & RTL8211CL  
Datasheet  
A ceramic 22µF (X5R) will have a lower voltage ripple compared to the electrolytic 100µF. The key to  
choosing a proper output capacitor is to choose the lowest ESR to reduce the output voltage ripple.  
Choosing a ceramic 22µF 0805 (Y5V) in this case will cause malfunction of the switching regulator.  
Placing several Electrolytic capacitors in parallel will help lower the output voltage ripple.

Datasheet  
The following figures show how different inductors affect the REG_OUT output waveform. The typical  
waveform should look like Figure 12, which has a square waveform with a dip at the falling edge and the  
rising edge. If the inductor is not carefully chosen, the waveform may look like Figure 13, where the  
waveform looks like a distorted square. This will cause insufficient current supply and will undermine the  
stability of the system at gigabit speed. Data in the following figures was measured at gigabit speed.

8.4. Typical Switching Regulator PCB Layout  
The typical layout of Figure 14 and Figure 15 are similar. The trace from RSET should pass through a via to  
the lower layer, and the trace should be protected by a ground trace. The width of the ground trace should be  
more than 5 mils.

8.5. Efficiency Measurement  
The efficiency of the switching regulator is designed to be above 75% in gigabit traffic mode. It is very  
important to choose a suitable inductor before Gerber certification, as the Inductor ESR value will affect the  
efficiency of the switching regulator. An inductor with a lower ESR value will result in a higher efficiency  
switching regulator.  
The efficiency of the switching regulator is easily measured using the following method.  
Figure 16 shows two checkpoints, checkpoint A (CP_A) and checkpoint B (CP_B). The switching  
regulator input current (Icpa) should be measured at CP_A, and the switching regulator output current (Icpb)  
should be measured at CP_B.  
To determine efficiency, apply the following formula:  
Efficiency = Vcpb*Icpb / Vcpa*Icpa  
Where Vcpb is 1.05V; Vcpa is 3.3V. The measurements should be performed in gigabit traffic mode.  
For example: The inductor used in the evaluation board is a GOTREND GTSD32-4R7M:  
The ESR value @ 1MHz is approximately 0.712ohm  
The measured Icpa is 160mA at CP_A  
The measured Icpb is 400mA at CP_B  
These values are measured in gigabit traffic mode, so the efficiency of the GOTREND GTSD32-4R7M can  
be calculated as follows:  
Efficiency = (1.05V*400mA) / (3.3V*160mA) = 0.80 = 80%.  
We strongly recommend that when choosing an inductor for the switching regulator, the efficiency should  
be measured, and that the inductor should yield an efficiency rating higher than 75%. If the efficiency does  
not meet this requirement, there may be risk to the switching regulator reliability in the long run.

Note: The RTL8211C(L) does not support fast 3.3V rising. The 3.3V rise time must be controlled over 1ms. If the rise time is  
too short, it will induce a peak voltage in VDDREG which may cause permanent damage to the switching regulator.
