DESCRIPTION

 

 

 

 

TXD2

24

I8

Transmit Data 2: The MAC transmits data to the transceiver using this

 

 

 

signal in MII Mode.

 

 

 

„ This signal should be grounded in RMII Mode.

 

 

 

 

TXD3

25

I8

Transmit Data 3: The MAC transmits data to the transceiver using this

 

 

 

signal in MII Mode.

 

 

 

„ This signal should be grounded in RMII Mode.

 

 

 

 

nINT/

18

IOPU

nINT – Active low interrupt output. Place an external resistor pull-up to

TXER/

 

 

VDDIO.

TXD4

 

 

„ See Section 4.10 for information on how nINTSEL is used to determine

 

 

 

the function for this pin.

 

 

 

TXER MII Transmit Error: When driven high, the 4B/5B encode process

 

 

 

substitutes the Transmit Error code-group (/H/) for the encoded data word.

 

 

 

This input is ignored in 10Base-T operation.

 

 

 

TXD4 MII Transmit Data 4: In Symbol Interface (5B Decoding) mode, this

 

 

 

signal becomes the MII Transmit Data 4 line, the MSB of the 5-bit symbol

 

 

 

code-group.

 

 

 

„ TXD4 is not used in RMII Mode.

 

 

 

„ This signal is mux’d with nINT

 

 

 

 

TXEN

21

IPD

Transmit Enable: Indicates that valid data is presented on the TXD[3:0]

 

 

 

signals, for transmission. In RMII Mode, only TXD[1:0] have valid data.

 

 

 

 

TXCLK

20

O8

Transmit Clock: Used to latch data from the MAC into the transceiver.

 

 

 

„ MII (100BT): 25MHz

 

 

 

„ MII (10BT): 2.5MHz

 

 

 

„ This signal is not used in RMII Mode.

 

 

 

 

RXD0/

11

IOPU

RXD0 Receive Data 0: Bit 0 of the 4 data bits that are sent by the

MODE0

 

 

transceiver in the receive path.

 

 

 

MODE0 PHY Operating Mode Bit 0: set the default MODE of the PHY.

 

 

 

„ See Section 5.3.9.2 for information on the MODE options.

 

 

 

 

RXD1/

10

IOPU

RXD1 Receive Data 1: Bit 1 of the 4 data bits that are sent by the PHY

MODE1

 

 

in the receive path.

 

 

 

MODE1 PHY Operating Mode Bit 1: set the default MODE of the PHY.

 

 

 

„ See Section 5.3.9.2 for information on the MODE options.

 

 

 

 

RXD2/

9

IOPD

RXD2 Receive Data 2: Bit 2 of the 4 data bits that are sent by the

RMIISEL

 

 

transceiver in the receive path.

 

 

 

„ The RXD2 signal is not used in RMII Mode.

 

 

 

RMIISEL – MII/RMII Mode Selection: Latched on the rising edge of the

 

 

 

internal reset (nRESET) based on the following strapping:

 

 

 

„ By default, MII mode is selected.

 

 

 

„ Pull this pin high to VDDIO with an external resistor to select RMII mode,

 

 

 

 

RXD3/

8

IOPD

RXD3 Receive Data 3: Bit 3 of the 4 data bits that are sent by the

PHYAD2

 

 

transceiver in the receive path.

 

 

 

„ This signal is not used in RMII Mode.

 

 

 

„ This signal is mux’d with PHYAD2

 

 

 

PHYAD2 PHY Address Bit 2: set the SMI address of the transceiver.

 

 

 

„ See Section 5.3.9.1 for information on the ADDRESS options.
