ground state and start its search for the idle ordered sets again. A typical valid sequence for achieving link synchro-

nization would be K28.5 D21.4 D21.5 D21.5 repeated three times.

In the synchronization achieved state, the machine constantly monitors the received data and looks for any kind of

code violation that might result due to running disparity errors. If it were to receive four such consecutive invalid

words, the link machine loses its synchronization and once again enters the loss of synchronization state (LOS). A

pair of valid words received by the machine overcomes the effect of a previously encountered code violation. LOS

is indicated by the status of WDSYNC_x output which now transitions from “1” to “0”. LOS is also indicated by

DEMUXWAS_x status register bit. This bit is set to “0” during loss of synchronization. At this point the machine

attempts to establish the link yet again. Figure 55 shows the state diagram for the Fibre Channel link state

machine.

XAUI Link Synchronization Function

For each lane, the receive section of the XAUI link state machine incorporates a synchronization state machine that

monitors the status of the 10-bit alignment. A 10-bit alignment is done in the SERDES based on a comma charac-

ter such as K28.5. A comma (0011111 or its complement 1100000) is a unique pattern in the 10-bit space that can-

not appear across the boundary between any two valid 10-bit code-groups. This property makes the comma useful

for delimiting code-groups in a serial stream. This mechanism incorporates a hysteresis to prevent false synchroni-

zation and loss of synchronization due to infrequent bit errors. For each lane, the sync_complete signal is disabled

until the lane achieves synchronization. The synchronization state diagram is shown in Figure 56. The XAUI state

machine does not have any control over the SERDES byte aligner. It is the user’s responsibility to control the byte

aligner through software access of register map address 30800.
