NC 54:59, 64:67 — No connect.
RXN 60 I Codec analog differential receive negative input. The DC level is VCM, and the full-scale input is
either 2.2Vp-p±5% or 1.1Vp-p±5%, depending on the gain setting.
RXP 61 I Codec analog differential receive positive input. The DC level is VCM, and the full-scale input is
either 2.2Vp-p±5% or 1.1Vp-p±5%, depending on the gain setting.
VREF 62 O Voltage reference bypass. Has a range of 1.235V±5%. Bypass to AGND with 0.1-µF ceramic chip
capacitor parallel with 10-µF tantalum capacitor.
VCM 63 O Common mode voltage bypass. Has a range of 2.16V±5%. Bypass to AGND with 0.1-µF ceramic
chip capacitor parallel with 10-µF tantalum capacitor.
TXN 68 O Codec analog differential transmit negative output. The DC level is VCM, and the full-scale input is
either 2.8Vp-p±5% or 1.4Vp-p±5%, depending on the gain setting.The maximum
loading is 1.2k Ω, in parallel with 20 pF for modem applications.
TXP 69 O Codec analog differential transmit positive output. The DC level is VCM, and the full-scale input is
either 2.8Vp-p±5% or 1.4Vp-p±5%, depending on the gain setting.The maximum
loading is 1.2k Ω, in parallel with 20 pF for modem applications.
AGND 70 G Analog ground.
AVDD 71 P 5V analog power supply.
OSCI 73 I Crystal clock input.
OSCO 74 O Crystal clock output.
VAUX 75, 88, 89, 104, 105 P 3.3V V
AUX
power supply for wake-on-ring and wake-on-LAN.
LINK_ST1 76 I Link status interface input from PHY.
PHY_RSTB 77 O Reset output to PHY; will follow PWR_RSTB and remain active for 1.3 msec after PWR_RSTB. Can
be toggled by bit 7 of LAN_IO register [4Ah].
PWR_RSTB 78 I Power-on reset. This is an active-low input signal when a power-on reset event occurs.
RXER
79
I Receive error input for MII mode. Indicates that the external PHY transceiver has detected coding
errors in the receive data frame now being transmitted to RXD[3:0]. RXER is ignored while RX_DV
is deasserted.
RX_ER I Receive error input for RMII mode. Indicates that the external PHY transceiver has detected coding
errors in the receive data frame now being transmitted to RXD[1:0]. RX_ER is ignored while RX_DV
is deasserted.
RXDV
80
I Receive data valid.
CRS_DV I Carrier sense/receive data valid. Asserted asynchronously by the PHY when the receive medium is
nonidle. In 10Base-T mode, carrier is detected when squelch is passed in RMII mode.
COL
81
I Collision. When selected as COL, asserted output whenever a collision is detected.
SPEED10 I Speed select. Acts as toggle for 10-Mb/s and 100-Mb/s operation for external PHY transceiver in
RMII mode.
CRS 82 I Carrier sense input.
RXCLK 83 I Receive clock input. Provides the nibble rate clock timing reference for the output transfer of RXDV,
RXD[3:0], and RXER/RX_ER signals and operates at 25/2.5 MHz.
IRQ# 84 I Interrupt request.
TXCLK
87
I Transmit clock input. When selected as TXCLK, provides timing reference for transfer of the trans-
mitted data and operates at 25/2.5 MHz.
REFCLK I Reference clock input. When selected as REFCLK, provides continuous clock timing
reference for CRS_DV, RXD[1:0], TXEN, TXD[1:0], and RX_ER. Operates at 50 MHz ±50 ppm with
a duty cycle between 35% and 65% in RMII mode.
RXD[3:0] 90:93 I Receive data. When in RMII mode, only RXD[1:0] are defined.
MDIO
94
I/O When the MDIO function is selected, this pin functions as the MII management data I/O pin. It acts
as an output during the header portion of management frame transfers and during the data portion
of write operations. It also acts as an input during the data portion of read
operations.
SECLK O Serial EEPROM data clock input.
