5.7 Ethernet
One of the two fast Ethernet ports on the MSC711xADS is connected to the MSC711x processor, and the other is
connected to the MPC8272 processor. The Ethernet ports are implemented via two RJ45 sockets, and each
connects to an Ethernet PHY (DM9161E by DAVICOM), which in turn connects to the MSC711x and MPC8272
processors. The DM9161E connects to the medium access control (MAC) layer through the media-independent
interface (MII). It also supports reduced MII (RMII). The MPC8272 processor works only in MII mode, but the
MSC711x port can be switched between the MII and RMII modes.
The DM9161 uses a low-power, high-performance CMOS process. It contains the entire physical layer functions of
100BASE-TX as defined by IEEE® Std. 802.3u™. The DM9161 supports the auto-negotiation function with
automatic media speed and protocol selection. Due to the built-in wave-shaping filter, the DM9161 needs no
