Ethernet PHY
The 10/100 Mbps Ethernet PHY TLK106 (U5) by Texas Instruments is connected to the FPGA bank 14
using Reduced Media Independent Interface standard (RMII). The RMII standard has reduced set of data
lines (two rather than four) and a higher clock frequency (50 MHz rather than 25 MHz) compared to the
Media Independent Interface standard (MII). A management interface is also available allowing access to
registers in the PHY chip. Transmit and receive signals are connected to the B2B connector JM1. The
magnetics and RJ-45 jack must be placed on the user's PCB (baseboard).

MAC Address EEPROM
TE0712-02 module has a 2 Kbit Serial Electrically Erasable PROM (EEPROM, U7). It provides pre-
programmed 48-bit Extended Unique Identifier (EUI-48™) to identify network hardware MAC address which
is write-protected to ensure tamper-proof designs. This SEEPROM can be accessed by UNI/O serial
®
interface bus using Manchester encoding techniques. The clock and data are combined into a single, serial
bit stream (SCIO), where the clock signal is extracted by the receiver to correctly decode the timing and
value of each bit. The bus is controlled by a master device (Xilinx Artix-7) which determines the clock
period, controls the bus access and initiates all operations, while the SEEPROM works as a slave. Refer to
Microchip's 11AA02E48 datasheet for more information.
