NAME
I/O

RESISTOR
DESCRIPTION
M08_COL
I Pulldown
Collision sense. Assertion of M08_COL during half-duplex operation indicates network collision.
Additionally, during full-duplex operation, transmission of new frames does not commence if this
terminal is asserted.
M08_CRS
I Pulldown Carrier sense. M08_CRS indicates a frame carrier signal is being received.
M08_EWRAP
O None Enable wrap. M08_EWRAP reflects the state of the loopback bit in the PCS8Control register.
M08_GTCLK
O None Unused. This terminal can be left unconnected.
M08_LINK
I Pulldown
Connection status. M08_LINK indicates the presence of port connection.
– If M08_LINK = 0, there is no link.
– If M08_LINK = 1, the link is OK.
M08_LREF O None
Renegotiate. M08_LREF indicates to the attached PHY device that this device wishes to negotiate
a new configuration.
– Following a 0-to-1 transition of neg in PortxControl, M08_LREF is asserted low, and
remains low until M08_LINK goes low. If M08_LINK was already low, M08_LREF
is still
activated for at least one cycle.
– M08_LREF
is asserted low for as long as initd in SysControl = 0, regardless of the state
of M08_LINK.
M08_RCLK
I Pullup Receive clock. Receive clock source from the attached PHY or PMI device.
M08_RFCLK
I Pullup Transmit clock. Transmit clock from the attached PHY or PMI device.
M08_RXD7
M08_RXD6
I Pullup Unused. These terminals can be left unconnected.
M08_RXD5 I/O
Pullup
IEEE Std 802.3x pause frame support selection
– If pulled low either internally or by the attached PHY or PMI device, M08_RXD5 causes the
port to not support pause frames.
– If not pulled low, the port does not support pause frames.
M08_RXD4 I/O
Pullup
Duplex selection [force half duplex (active low)]
– If pulled low either internally or by the attached PHY or PMI device, the port operates in
half-duplex mode.
– If not pulled low, the port operates in full-duplex mode.
M08_RXD3
M08_RXD2
M08_RXD1
M08_RXD0
I Pullup
Receive data. Nibble-wide receive data from the attached PHY or PMI device. When M08_RXDV
is asserted, these signals carry receive data. Data on these signals is synchronous to M08_RCLK.
M08_RXDV
I Pulldown
Receive data valid. M08_RXDV indicates data on M08_RXD3–M08_RXD0 is valid. This signal is
synchronous to M08_RCLK.
M08_RXER
I Pulldown Receive error. Indicates reception of a coding error on received data.
M08_TXD7
M08_TXD6
M08_TXD5
M08_TXD4
O None Unused. These terminals can be left unconnected, but are driven low.
M08_TXD3
M08_TXD2
M08_TXD1
M08_TXD0
O None
Transmit data. Nibble-wide transmit data. When M08_TXEN is asserted, these signals carry
transmit data. Data on these signals is synchronous to M08_RFCLK.
Not a true bidirectional terminal. It can only be actively pulled down.
