MII and PCS Interface - Management Interface Pins
25
MDC
I
Management Data Interface Clock:
This pin provides a clock
reference to MDIO. The clock rate can be up to 10MHz.
26
MDIO
I/O
Management Data interface Input/Output:
The function of this
pin is to transfer management information between PHY and
MAC.
MII and PCS Interface – Media Independent Interface (MII) Pins
2
TX_EN
I
(PD)
Transmit Enable:
This pin is an active high input. At high status,
it indicates the nibble data in TXD[3:0] is valid.
7
TX_CLK
O
Transmit Clock:
This pin provides a continuous 25MHz clock at
100BT and 2.5Mbps at 10BT as timing reference for TXD[3:0]
and TX_EN when the chip operates under MII.
3, 4, 5, 6
TXD[3:0]
I
Transmit Data:
When TX_EN is set high, MAC will transmit data
through these 4 lines to PHY which the transmission is
synchronizing with TX_CLK.
22
RX_DV
O
Receive Data Valid:
At high status stands for data flow is
present within RXD[0:3] lines and low means no data exchange
occurred.
16
RX_CLK
O
Receive Clock:
This pin provides 25MHz for 100BT or 2.5Mhz
for 10BT and RX_DV pin uses this pin as its reference under MII.
18, 19,
20, 21
RXD[3:0]
O
Receive Data:
These 4 data lines are transmission path for PHY
to send data to MAC and they are synchronizing with RX_CLK.
