Two Port 10/100 Managed Ethernet Switch with 16-Bit Non-PCI CPU Interface

Datasheet

7.2Port 1 & 2 PHYs

Functionally, each PHY can be divided into the following sections:

„100BASE-TX Transmit and 100BASE-TX Receive

„10BASE-T Transmit and 10BASE-T Receive

„PHY Auto-negotiation

„HP Auto-MDIX

„MII MAC Interface

„PHY Management Control

Note 7.1 Because the Port 1 PHY and Port 2 PHY are functionally identical, this section will describe them as the “Port x PHY”, or simply “PHY”. Wherever a lowercase “x” has been appended to a port or signal name, it can be replaced with “1” or “2” to indicate the Port 1 or Port 2 PHY respectively. All references to “PHY” in this section can be used interchangeably for both the Port 1 & 2 PHYs. This nomenclature excludes the Virtual PHY.

A block diagram of the Port x PHYs main components can be seen in Figure 7.1.
