Description
Speed Select :
SPEED0 is not standard RMII signal. This signal is
source from PHY to inform repeater whether 10M or 100M speed is
auto-negotiated. Active for 10Mbps speed is selected depending on
power on configuration.
Carrier Sense/Receive Data Valid :
CRS_DV is asserted
asynchronously on detection of carrier. CRS_DV is asserted by the PHY
when receive medium is non-idle. Loss of carrier shall result in the
desertion of CRS_DV synchronous to the cycle of REF_CLK that
presents the first DI-bits of a nibble on to RXD0[1:0].
Receive Data :
RXD0[1:0] is synchronous to REF_CLK
RXD0[1:0] shall be “00” to indicate idle when CRS_DV is disserted.
Value other than “00” are reserved for out-of-band signaling shall be
ignored by MAC Upon assertion of CRS_DV, PHY shall ensure that
RXD[1:0] = “00” until proper receive decoding takes place
Transmit Enable :
TXEN0 is synchronous to REF_CLK.
TXEN0 indicates that MAC is presenting DI-bits on TXD[1:0] for
transmission. TXEN0 shall be negated prior to the 1st REF_CLK rising
edge following the final DI-bit of a frame
Transmit Data :
TXD0[1:0] shall transition synchronously to
REF_CLK. TXD0[1:0] shall be “00” to indicate idle when TX_EN is
disserted. Value other than “00” are reserved for out-of-band signaling
shall be ignored by PHY. When TX_EN is asserted, TXD[1:0] are
accepted for transmission by PHY
