Technology Select.
• When ANEGA pin is set to high, TECH[2:0] will then set the negotia-
ble capabilities. (See ”Technology Selections” on page 18.)
• When ANEGA is set to low, TECH[2:0] will then set the forced capa-
bilities. (See ”Technology Selections” on page 18.)
When the PHY is in PCS bypass mode (PCSBP pin pull high),
TECH[2:0] are as follows:
• TECH[0] is 10BaseT Link input (High Active). The MAC is responsible
for ANeg, and creates 10BaseT Link signal.
• TECH[1] is SPDSEL for the SYMBOL interface. When it is de-assert-
ed, only the 10BaseT driver is used to transmit 10BASE-T signals,
NLP and FLP.
• TECH[2] is DUPLEX. The MAC is responsible for indicating the du-
plex operation mode. The input values of TECH[2] and TECH[0] in
this mode are used for LED display only.
ANEGA
56
71
I, U
Auto-Negotiation Ability. ANeg is enabled when this pin is pulled high.
When this pin is pulled low, mode of operation is depended on
TECH[2:0]. This pin also controls the ANEGA bit in MII Reg.1.3.
ACTIVITY
56
71
I, U
Activity. In PCS bypass mode (PCSBP pin pull high), the MAC provides
the activity signal to generate the activity LED signal.
RPTR
61
81
I
Repeater Mode. When this pin is asserted high via 1 K
Ω
, repeater mode
will be enabled. In repeater mode, CRS becomes receive activity. SQE
test function is disabled in 10BASE-T mode. Repeater mode can also
enabled via MII Reg. 16.15. Requires a pull down of 1 K
Ω
resistor when
used in NIC applications.
PCSBP
1
6
I, D
PCS Bypass. 100BASE-TX or 10BASE-T enter PCS bypass if PCSBP
is asserted high at reset.
GPIO[0]
7W*
19
24
I/O, U
General Purpose I/O. These pins can be configured as either an input or
output by the management Reg. 16.[6].
7W - If the GPIO[0] is pull low by 1 K
Ω
during reset, the 10BASE-T 7-
wire interface is enabled.
GPIO[1]
TP125
20
25
I/O, D
General Purpose I/O. These pins can be configured as either an input or
output by the management Reg. 16.[8]. In MII mode, GPIO[1] is used to
select the 10BASE-T operation mode. With internal pull down, the de-
vice defaults to standard MII interface for 10BASE-T after reset.
TP125 - If the GPIO[1] pin is pulled high by a 1 K
Ω
resistor during Reset,
the 1.25:1 transformer ratio transmitter is enabled. A 1:1 type transform-
er is selected by default.
