Receive Data: RXD[3:0] is driven by the PHY synchronously with respect
to RX_CLK.
Carrier Sense: Asynchronous signal CRS is asserted by the PHY when
either the transmit or receive medium is non-idle.
Receive Data Valid: RX_DV is driven by the PHY synchronously with
respect to RX_CLK. Asserted high when valid data is present on RXD
[3:0].
Receive Error: RX_ER is driven by PHY and synchronous to RX_CLK, is
asserted for one or more RX_CLK periods to indicate to the port that an
error has detected.
Receive Clock: RX_CLK is a continuous clock that provides the timing
reference for the transfer of the RX_DV,RXD[3:0] and RX_ER signals from
the PHY to the MII port of the MAC.
Collision: this signal is driven by PHY when collision is detected.
Transmit Enable: TX_EN is transition synchronously with respect to the
rising edge of TX_CLK. TX_EN indicates that the port is presenting
