Two Port 10/100 Managed Ethernet Switch with 16-Bit Non-PCI CPU Interface
Datasheet
Revision 1.4 (08-19-08) 94 SMSC LAN9311/LAN9311i
DATASHEET
For a transmission, the switch fabric MAC drives the transmit data onto the internal MII TXD bus and
asserts TXEN to indicate valid data. The data is in the form of 4-bit wide data at a rate of 25MHz for
100BASE-TX, or 2.5MHz for 10BASE-T.
For reception, the 4-bit data nibbles are sent to the MII MAC Interface block. These data nibbles are
clocked to the controller at a rate of 25MHz for 100BASE-TX, or 2.5MHz for 10BASE-T. RXCLK is the
output clock for the internal MII bus. It is recovered from the received data to clock the RXD bus. If
there is no received signal, it is derived from the system reference clock.
7.2.8 PHY Management Control
The PHY Management Control block is responsible for the management functions of the PHY,
including register access and interrupt generation. A Serial Management Interface (SMI) is used to
support registers 0 through 6 as required by the IEEE 802.3 (Clause 22), as well as the vendor specific
registers allowed by the specification. The SMI interface consists of the MII Management Data (MDIO)
signal and the MII Management Clock (MDC) signal. These signals interface to the Host MAC and
allow access to all PHY registers. Refer to Section 14.4.2, "Port 1 & 2 PHY Registers," on page 287
for a list of all supported registers and register descriptions. Non-supported registers will be read as
FFFFh.
7.2.8.1 PHY Interrupts
The PHY contains the ability to generate various interrupt events as described in Table 7.3. Reading
the Port x PHY Interrupt Source Flags Register (PHY_INTERRUPT_SOURCE_x) shows the source of
the interrupt, and clears the interrupt signal. The Port x PHY Interrupt Mask Register
(PHY_INTERRUPT_MASK_x) enables or disables each PHY interrupt. The PHY Management Control
block aggregates the enabled interrupts status into an internal signal which is sent to the System
Interrupt Controller and is reflected via the Interrupt Status Register (INT_STS) bit 26 (PHY_INT1) for
the Port 1 PHY, and bit 27 (PHY_INT2) for the Port 2 PHY. For more information on the
LAN9311/LAN9311i interrupts, refer to Chapter 5, "System Interrupts," on page 49.
7.2.9 PHY Power-Down Modes
There are two power-down modes for the PHY:
PHY General Power-Down
PHY Energy Detect Power-Down
Note: For more information on the various power management features of the LAN9311/LAN9311i,
refer to Section 4.3, "Power Management," on page 46.
