Type

Name and Function

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

TXRDY

4

O

This pin is multiplexed and can be used for one of the following:

(TOUT)

 

 

Transmit Ready. If full duplex and PHY Base (Bay Technologies) flow control

 

 

 

modes are enabled, the TXRDY signal enables transmission while it is

 

 

 

asserted.

 

 

 

TOUT. When the Test Enable signal is activated, this signal functions as the

 

 

 

Test Output port.

 

 

 

 

FDX_N

5

I/O

Full Duplex. In DTE (adapter) mode, this active low output signal reports the

 

 

 

result of the duplex configuration to the MAC. This pin can also operate as

 

 

 

the LED driver and will be an active low for all technologies.

 

 

 

In repeater mode, this signal is used for Auto-Negotiation advertisement to

 

 

 

the 82555’s link partner and activates the PHY Base (Bay Technologies) flow

 

 

 

control if 100BASE-TX full duplex is the highest common technology between

 

 

 

the 82555 and its link partner.

Name and Function

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

ACTLED

12

O

Activity LED. This signal indicates either transmit or receive activity. When

 

 

 

activity is present, the ACTLED is on. When no activity is present, the

 

 

 

ACTLED is off.

 

 

 

 

LILED

11

O

Link Integrity LED. This signal indicates the link integrity. If a valid link is

 

 

 

present in either 10 Mbps or 100 Mbps, the LILED is on; and if an invalid link

 

 

 

is preset, LILED is off.

 

 

 

For a combination design board, the LILED should be connected to the TX

 

 

 

technology LED.

 

 

 

 

SPEED-

13

O

Speed LED

LED

 

 

This signal is used to indicate the speed of operation. For 100 Mbps, the

 

 

 

 

 

 

SPEEDLED will be on; and for 10 Mbps, the SPEEDLED will be off.
