MII Control Interface Pins

MDDIS
I
Management Disable
. When MDDIS is High, the MDIO is disabled
from read and write operations.
When MDDIS is Low at power-up or reset, the Hardware Control
Interface pins control only the initial or “default” values of their
respective register bits. After the power-up/reset cycle is complete,
bit control reverts to the MDIO serial channel.
E7

MDC
I
Management Data Clock
. Clock for the MDIO serial data channel.
Maximum frequency is 8 MHz.

MDIO
I/O
Management Data Input/Output
. Bidirectional serial data channel
for PHY/STA communication.

MDINT
OD
Management Data Interrupt
. When Register bit 18.1 = 1, an active
Low output on this pin indicates status change. Interrupt is cleared
by reading Register 19.

O
Twisted-Pair/Fiber Outputs, Positive & Negative.
During 100BASE-TX or 10BASE-T operation, TPFOP/N pins drive
802.3 compliant pulses onto the line.
During 100BASE-FX operation, TPFOP/N pins produce differential
LVPECL outputs for fiber transceivers.

TPFIP

I
Twisted-Pair/Fiber Inputs, Positive & Negative.
During 100BASE-TX or 10BASE-T operation, TPFIP/N pins receive
differential 100BASE-TX or 10BASE-T signals from the line.
During 100BASE-FX operation, TPFIP/N pins receive differential
LVPECL inputs from fiber transceivers.

: Dual function input depending on the state of the
device.
Reset and Power-Up.
Media mode selection:
Tie High for FX mode (Register bit 16.0 = 1)
Tie Low for TP mode (Register bit 16.0 = 0)
Normal Operation (FX Mode):
SD input from the fiber transceiver.
Normal Operation (TP Mode):
Tie to GND (uses an internal pull-
down).
1. Type Column Coding: I = Input, O = Output, A = Analog, OD = Open Drain
2. For standard digital loopback testing (Register bit 0.14) in FX mode, the SD pin should be tied to an
LVPECL logic High (2.4 V).
