5.2.2.1 Transmit Timing
In MPHY mode a packet transmission starts with the TSX signal indicating port address
information is on the data bus. The next clock cycle TENB and TSOP indicate present data on the
bus is the first word in the packet and all subsequent clocks will contain valid data as long as TENB
is active or until TEOP is asserted. Data transmission can be temporally halted when TENB goes
high then resumed when TENB is low. The valid bytes in the final word, during an active TEOP,
are indicated by state of TMOD [1:0].
5.2.2.2 Receive Timing
A packet is received when RSX indicates port address information on the data bus followed by
RSOP to indicate the data bus contains the first word of a packet. All subsequent data is valid only
while RVAL is High and until REOP is asserted. Receive data can be temporarily halted when
RENB is de-asserted and starts again on the second rising edge of RFCLK following the assertion
of RENB. RMOD indicates the number of valid bytes in the last transfer when REOP is asserted.
