Client, Host, and MDIO Interfaces
R
illustrates a second implementation example. The host interface is used as the
MDIO master to access the configuration registers of the PCS/PMA sublayer logic, which
contains an MDIO slave. All connections are internal and are enabled by pulling
TIEEMAC#CONFIGVEC[73] (MDIO enable) High.
In this example, the EMAC’s Managements Data Input/Output (MDIO) Interface signals
are not used. The output signals are left unconnected, and the input signals are tied to a
logic level. PHYEMAC#MDIN must be tied High when not connected to an external PHY.
Alternatively, the EMAC’s Managements Data Input/Output (MDIO) can be connected to
a second MMD (for example, an external PHY device) by providing the connections
illustrated in
. Externally connected MMDs (MDIO slaves) must have different
non-zero physical addresses (PHYAD) from the non-zero address of the PCS/PMA
sublayer.
