Loopback
1 = Enable loopback mode. When Loopback is enabled, during 100
Mbps operation, the LXT970A disconnects its transmitter and receiver
from the network. Data sent by the controller passes through the chip
and then gets looped back to the MII. During 10 Mbps operation the
preamble, SFD, and data loop directly back to the MII.
0 = Disable loopback mode.

1 = Enable auto-negotiate process (overrides speed select and duplex
mode bits).
0 = Disable auto-negotiate process.

Power Down
1 = Enable power down.
0 = Enable normal operation.

Collision Test
1 = Enable COL signal test. Bit 0.14 must be enabled to use this bit.
This bit is used in conjunction with bit 0.14 to test the COL output.
0 = Disable COL signal test.

1. R/W = Read/Write
SC = Self Clearing
2. If auto-negotiation is enabled, this bit is ignored. If auto-negotiation is disabled, the default value of bit 0.13 is determined by
pin CFG0.
3. The default value of bit 0.12 is determined by pin MF0.
4. The LXT970A internally maintains all set values of the configuration registers upon exiting power-down mode. A delay of 500
ns minimum is required from the time power down is cleared until any register can be written.
5. The default value of bit 0.10 is determined by pin TRSTE.
6. If auto-negotiation is enabled, the default value of bit 0.9 is determined by pin CFG0. If auto-negotiation is disabled, the
default value of
bit 0.9 = 0.
7. If auto-negotiation is enabled, this bit is ignored. If auto-negotiation is disabled, the default value of bit 0.8 is determined by
pin FDE.
8. This bit is ignored unless loopback is enabled (0.14 = 1).
