Pin NO
Pin Description
Pin Name Type
CLK125
I3
51
Free running clock 125MHz from OSC or Giga-PHY.
TXEN
O2, 12mA 66
Transmit Enable:
TXEN is transition synchronously with respect to the rising and falling edge of
TXCX. TXEN indicates that the port is presenting nibbles on TXD [3:0] for
transmission.
TXD[3:0] O2, 12mA 61,62,63,65 Transmit Data:
TXD[3:0] is transition synchronously with respect to the rising and falling edge of
TXCX. In rising edge TXD[3:0] is as general TD[3:0] and falling edge TXD[3:0]
is as TD[7:4]. TD[7:0] is used in AX88180 as byte unit.
TXCX
O2, 12mA 68
125MHz Clock Output:
It is a continuous 125 MHz clock Output to Giga-PHY operating in RGMII mode. It
is a timing reference for TXEN and TXD[3:0]. For normal operation, this pin will
be connected to Giga-PHY.
GTXCLK O2, 12mA 67
125MHz Clock Output:
It is a continuous 125 MHz clock output. This pin is for internal debug purpose only
and should be floating for normal operation.
RXCLK
I2
71
Receive Clock:
RXCLK is a continuous clock that provides the timing reference for RXDV,
RXD[3:0]. This clock is provided from PHY.
RXD[3:0] I2
77,76,75,74 Receive Data:
RXD[3:0] is driven by the PHY synchronously with respect to RXCLK. In rising
edge RXD[3:0] is as RD[3:0] and falling edge is as RD[7:4]. RD[7:0] is used in
AX88180 as byte unit.
RXDV
I2
70
Receive Data Valid:
RXDV is driven by the PHY synchronously with respect to RXCLK in rising and
falling edge. It is asserted high when valid data is present on RXD [3:0].
COL
I2
80
Collision:
This signal is driven by PHY when collision is detected.
