7.5.75 MIF Mask Register

This 16-bit register is used to determine which bits in the poll status portion

of the MIF status register will cause an interrupt. If a mask bit is cleared to 0,

the corresponding bit of the poll status will generate the MIF interrupt when

set.

Table 228: MIF Configuration Register Definition

Field Bits Description Type
PHY_Select 0 The MIF implements two independent manage-
ment interfaces for two separate transceivers. Only
one transceiver can be used at a given time. This bit
determines which transceiver is currently in use.
When cleared to 0, MDIO_0 is selected. Went set
to 1, MDIO_1 is selected.
R/W
Poll_Enable 1 When set to 1, this bit enables the polling mecha-
nism. If this bit is set to 1, the BB_Mode should be
cleared to 0.
R/W
BB_Mode 2 This bit determines the mode of operation of the
MIF. When set to 1, the Bit-Bang Mode is selected.
When cleared to 0, the frame mode will be used.
R/W
Poll_Reg_Addr 7:3 This field determines the register address in the
transceiver that will be polled by the polling mech-
anism in the MIF. It is meaningful only if the
Poll_Enable bit is set to 1.
R/W
MDI_0 8 This read-only bit is dual purpose.When the
MDIO_0 interface is idle, this bit will indicate
whether a transceiver is connected to this line. If
this bit reads as 1, the transceiver is connected.
When the MIF is communicating with a trans-
ceiver that is hooked up to MDIO_0 in the Bit-
Bang Mode, this bit will indicate the incoming bit
stream during a read operation
R
MDI_1 9 This read-only bit is dual purpose. When the
MDIO_1 interface is idle, this bit will indicate
whether a transceiver is connected to this line. If
this bit reads as 1, the transceiver is connected.
When the MIF is communicating with a trans-
ceiver that is hooked up to MDIO_1 in the Bit-
Bang Mode, this bit will indicate the incoming bit
stream during a read operation
R
Poll_Phy_Addr 14:10 This field determines the transceiver address to be
polled
R/W
