nReset in
nRESET IN Input. This active low signal issued by the
microcontroller executes a hardware reset.
It is used to activate the internal reset
circuitry within the COM20020-5.
20
24
nInterrupt
nINTR
Output. This active low signal is generated
by the COM20020-5 when an enabled
interrupt condition occurs. nINTR returns to
its inactive state when the interrupt status
condition or the corresponding interrupt
mask bit is reset.

nChip Select nCS
Input. This active low signal issued by the
microcontroller selects the COM20020-5 for
an access.

nPulse 2,
nPulse 1
nPULSE2,
nPULSE1
Output. In Normal Mode, these active low
signals carry the transmit data information,
encoded in pulse format, from the
COM20020-5 to the media driver circuitry.
When the device is in Backplane Mode, the
nPULSE1 signal driver is programmable
(push/pull or open-drain), while the
nPULSE2 signal provides a clock with
frequency of crystal/4.
nPULSE1 is
connected to a weak internal pull-up resistor
in backplane mode.

Receive In
RXIN
Input. This signal carries the receive data
information from the line receiver circuitry to
the COM20020-5.
Output. This signal is used in Backplane
Mode to enable the line drivers for
transmission. The polarity of the signal is
programmable by grounding the nPULSE2
pin. This option is valid only in Backplane
Mode.
