SMSC LAN9311i Switch User Manual


 
Two Port 10/100 Managed Ethernet Switch with 16-Bit Non-PCI CPU Interface
Datasheet
Revision 1.4 (08-19-08) 250 SMSC LAN9311/LAN9311i
DATASHEET
Note 14.17 The reserved bits 31-16 are used to pad the register to 32-bits so that each register is on
a DWORD boundary. When accessed serially (through the MII management protocol), the
register is 16-bits wide.
Note 14.18 The Virtual PHY supports 100BASE-X (half and full duplex) and 10BASE-T (half and full
duplex) only. All other modes will always return as 0 (unable to perform).
Note 14.19 The Virtual PHY does not support Register 15 or 1000 Mb/s operation. Thus this bit is
always returned as 0.
Note 14.20 The Auto-Negotiation Complete bit is first cleared on a reset, but set shortly after (when
the Auto-Negotiation process is run). Refer to Section 7.3.1, "Virtual PHY Auto-
Negotiation," on page 96 for additional details.
Note 14.21 The Virtual PHY never has remote faults, its link is always up, and does not detect jabber.
Note 14.22 The VIrtual PHY supports basic and some extended register capability. The Virtual PHY
supports Registers 0-6 (per the IEEE 802.3 specification).
