3.5MII Interface

The IXP43X network processors support a maximum of two Ethernet MACs. Depending on the part number of the IXP43X network processors, various combinations can be used. Refer to the Intel® IXP43X Product Line of Network Processors Datasheet for a detailed list of features that can be enabled depending upon your requirements.

All MACs contained in the NPEs are compliant to the IEEE 802.3 specification and handle flow control for the IEEE 802.3Q VLAN specification.

The Management Data Interface (MDI) supports a maximum of 32 PHY addresses. MDI signals are required to be connected to every PHY chip. Each PHY port is assign a unique address in the external PHY chip from 0 to 31, totaling a maximum of 32 PHY addresses. The maximum number of MACs supported by the IXP43X network processors is two.

The MII interface supports clock rates of 25 MHz for 100-Mbps operation or 2.5 MHz for 10-Mbps operation.
