Note 1:
All bits entering NIC must be properly decoded, if the PLL is still locking, the clock to the NIC should be disabled or CRS delayed. Any two sequential 1 data
bits will be interpreted as Synch.
Note 2:
This is a minimum requirement which allows reception of a packet.

Note 1:
The NIC requires a minimum number of receive clocks following the de-assertion of carrier sense (CRS). These additional clocks are provided by the
DP8391 SNI. If other decoder/PLLs are being used additional clocks should be provided. Short clocks or glitches are not allowed.
Note 2:
Up to 5 bits of dribble bits can be tolerated without resulting in a receive error.
Note 3:
Guarantees to only load bit N, additional bits up to tdrb can be tolerated.
Note 4:
This is the time required for the receive state machine to complete end of receive processing. This parameter is not measured but is guaranteed by design.
This is not a measured parameter but is a design requirement.
Note 5:
CRS must remain de-asserted for a minimum of 2 RXC cycles to be recognized as end of carrier.
