Person is the dual master control plate network system basic framework schematic diagram of the present invention as shown in Figure 2.As shown in Figure 2, this system comprises master control borad 10, master control borad 11, line card 12 and configuration module 13, wherein master control borad 10 comprises signal transceiver 100 and common-mode circuit 101 further, master control borad 11 comprises signal transceiver 110 and common-mode circuit 111 further, and line card 12 comprises signal transceiver 120 and switch 121 further.Below namely each part of the present invention is described in detail.
In master control borad 10, signal transceiver 100 and common-mode circuit 101 are electrically connected.In master control borad 11, signal transceiver 110 and common-mode circuit 111 are electrically connected.Signal transceiver 120 in line card 12 is connected with switch 121 one end, and switch 121 other end is connected with common-mode circuit 101, common-mode circuit 111 respectively, through this kind of connected mode, line card 12 can pass through its switch 121 and realizes being connected with master control borad 10 or master control borad 11.For example, master control borad 10 is as main board, master control borad 11 as subsequent use, and when master control borad 10 breaks down, switch 121 suspension control signal triggers line card 12 to switch and is connected to master control borad 11 and then realizes the object that line card 12 realizes communicating with master control borad 11.
In the present invention, configuration module 13 can carry out pattern configurations to above-mentioned signal transceiver 100,110,120 to be made it be in such as to forbid auto negotiation mode, forces 100,000,000 patterns or force full-duplex mode.
In specific embodiments of the invention, above-mentioned common-mode circuit 101,111 is the RC circuit of electric capacity and group electricity composition, and switch 121 opens the light for simulation, such as single-pole double-throw switch (SPDT).Above-mentioned signal transceiver 100,110 is signal transmitting and receiving chip (SWITCH chip), and signal transceiver 120 is physical interface chip (PHY chip).And this configuration module 13 can pass through hardware pins configuration mode or above-mentioned signal transceiver is carried out pattern configurations by software mode.
The present invention mainly provides the design of transformer in existing 100,000,000 networks of common-mode voltage replacement with RC circuit, master control borad 10,11 is connected by backboard with line card 12, and such as 0.1uF coupling capacitance that master control borad 10,11 and the transmission of line card 12 and the data wire of Received signal strength are connected.The effect of coupling capacitance is logical interchange; remove direct current; because 100 m ethernet sends signal differential to different with the common-mode voltage of Received signal strength differential pair; therefore stopping direct current must be carried out by such as 0.1uF coupling capacitance; in addition because line card 12, master control borad 10,11 support the hot plug of backboard; if the situations such as pin appear falling in connector during plug plate, can cause the problems such as short circuit, at this moment electric capacity just plays the effect of protection circuit.
Existing have in the design of transformer, the transmission signal differential of PHY chip (i.e. above-mentioned signal transceiver 120) to TPTX+/-and Received signal strength differential pair TPRX+/-on electric current from the power supply that transformer center tap connects, in transformerless design, in order to provide the electric current on differential pair, by a termination power of the such as 50ohm build-out resistor of differential pair, differential pair is by 50ohm resistance from power taking power supply, and the resistance that electric current flows through 50ohm can produce IR pressure drop.
Under 100,000,000 net 100BASE-TX patterns, the transmission signal differential of PHY chip (i.e. above-mentioned signal transceiver 120) to TPTX+/-and Received signal strength differential pair TPRX+/-need the constant current getting such as 40mA, therefore IR pressure drop is 50ohm*40mA=2V, therefore on differential pair, common-mode voltage is stable, is 3.3V – 2V=1.3V.Again because the three level signal of the differential pair of 100-M network Ethernet, 1V, 0V and-1V, reference point centered by common-mode voltage, therefore the three level of signal is 2.3V, 1.3V and 0.3V.
Auto-negotiation mode be port according to the connection speed of other end equipment and dual-mode, automatically its mode of operation is adjusted to the highest public level, i.e. the circuit two ends prestissimo that can have and dual-mode.If auto-negotiation is all supported in two ends, then all can receive the FLP (connecting pulse fast) of the other side, and the information decoding in FLP out.Obtain the concatenation ability of the other side.And the auto-negotiation ability value of opposite end is recorded in the capabilities register of auto-negotiation opposite end, and the auto-negotiation of status register is completed bit is set to 1 simultaneously.When auto-negotiation does not complete, this bit is 0 always.
Then the respective maximum concatenation ability according to oneself and the other side, selects best connected mode Link.Such as, if namely both sides support that 10M also supports 100M, then speed connects according to 100M; Namely both sides support that full duplex also supports half-duplex, then connect according to full duplex.Once after connection establishment, FLP just stops sending.
In auto-negotiation process, the differential pair of PHY chip (i.e. above-mentioned signal transceiver 120) is before connection pulse, process neutralizes obtaining current below, signal has IR voltage drop, not obtaining current At All Other Times, signal, without IR voltage drop, will cause the common-mode voltage of signal in negotiations process unstable like this.As shown in Figure 2, the connection impulse waveform of common-mode voltage instability as shown in Figure 3 for normal connection impulse waveform.So, the connection pulse shown in Fig. 3 can not be normally identified.In order to address this problem, the SWITCH chip (i.e. above-mentioned signal transceiver 100,110) containing built-in PHY on the PHY chip (i.e. above-mentioned signal transceiver 120) on line card and master control borad 10,11 is arranged to forbid auto negotiation mode through above-mentioned configuration module 13 by the present invention.In the present invention, two ports are all the internal ports of system, ability to work is known, it is all the mode of operation of support 100,000,000 and full duplex, therefore can pass through the pin of above-mentioned configuration module 13 configuring chip or the chip at two ends be all arranged to forbid auto-negotiation by software mode, force 100,000,000 and force the pattern of full duplex, above-mentioned capacitive coupling, build-out resistor provide the circuit of common-mode voltage just can normally work.
In addition, line card 12 side adopts analog switch chip (i.e. above-mentioned switch 121) to realize 100,000,000 signal switching of a line card, thus the function that realization and the 100-M network Ethernet of two pieces of master control borads communicate respectively.Analog switch chip is different from electromagnetic relay, can not receive negative level, because the common-mode voltage that build-out resistor provides is 1.3V, 100-M network Ethernet line signal voltage level is 2.3V, 1.3V and 0.3V, can ensure that analog switch chip normally works.In addition, the principle of the placement of the biasing resistor of analog switch both sides is the sides being placed on signal source, biased signal will be there is no like this, be superimposed with common-mode voltage to be biased, ensure that signal voltage does not have negative voltage, on line card PHY chip (i.e. above-mentioned signal transceiver 120) transmission signal to TPTX+/-be PHY export, so biasing resistor is placed on the left side of analog switch, on line card PHY chip Received signal strength to RPTX+/-be SWITCH chip (the i.e. above-mentioned signal transceiver 100 of master control borad, 110) send, so biasing resistor is placed on the right side of analog switch.
A whole set of circuit coordinates the configuration of software or hardware pins again, achieves transformerless 100 m ethernet design in dual master control plate network system.Replace existing electromagnetic relay with analog switch in addition, can electromagnetic interference be avoided, and there is the advantage reducing circuit effect.
It should be noted that above-described embodiment all can independent assortment as required.The above is only the preferred embodiment of the present invention; it should be pointed out that for those skilled in the art, under the premise without departing from the principles of the invention; can also make some improvements and modifications, these improvements and modifications also should be considered as protection scope of the present invention.
