Configuration and Control Signals
The MC92603 has many configuration and control signals that are asynchronous to all
input clocks. Most of the signals affect the internal configuration state and must be set at
power up. If the signal’s state is changed after power up, some signals require that the
device be reset by asserting RESET low and then releasing high. Other configuration
signals are meant to be changed during normal operation and do not require a device reset.
However, these signals may still affect device operation. Table 5-3 lists all of the MC92603
asynchronous configuration and control signals and describes the effect of changing their
state after power up.
If MDIO is enabled, then the states may be modified via the MDIO interface. When
MDIO_EN is asserted, the configuration states are loaded on reset as before, and may then
be modified through the interface. The configuration states are read via registers 1, 16, and
17. If any of the hardwired configurations change when MDIO_EN is asserted, the device
must be reset for the action to be initiated. For example, if MDIO_EN is high, changing the
configuration input, XCVR_x_LBE, will be ignored until reset is asserted.
