18.7.3 Media-Independent Interface (MII)
The Ethernet controller implements the IEEE Std. 802.3 standard MII interface for fast Ethernet.
Figure 18-11 shows the MII interface signals and the basic components, including the signals
required for an Ethernet connection with a PHY.
The speed of operation is determined by the
TX_CLK
and
RX_CLK
pins, which are driven by the
transceiver. The bit rate of the transceiver is determined either by auto-negotiation or by software
via the serial management interface (
MDC
/
MDIO
pins) to the transceiver. This mode is only
supported by Ethernet controller 1.
