5.8 Serial EEPROM and SMI Pins 
Pin No. Type 
72 
  Description 
Reserved: 
Reserved pin for internal use. Should be left floating. 
Default  
1 
I/O 
The serial EEPROM and external device should be 2.5V compatible, as the output of the RTL8305SB is 2.5V. 
If the external device output is 3.3V. There are 0.7V (3.3V–2.5V) on pull-high resistors which one side is a 3.3V external 
device and the other side is 2.5V VDD. There are 0.7V (3.3V–2.5V) on pull-high resistors which one side is 3.3V VDD and 
the other side is the 2.5V output of the RTL8305SB.

  Description 
EnEEPROM 
73 
I 
Enable EEPROM: 
This pin sets the RTL8305SB to enable the loading 
of the serial EEPROM upon reset. 
1: Enable  
0: Disable  
8305SB = EnEEPROM, 8305S = NC. 
SCL_MDC 
74 
I/O 
SCL or MDC: 
This pin is tri state when pin RESET#=0. 
When pin EnEEPROM=1, this pin becomes SCL (output) to load the serial 
EEPROM upon reset. Then this pin changes as MDC (input) after reset. In 
this case, this pin should be pulled-high (2.5V) by an external resistor. 
When pin EnEEPROM=0, this pin is MDC (input): 0 to 25MHz clock, 
sourced by an external device to sample MDIO. In this case, if, and only 
if, this pin is floating, it needs an external pull-high (2.5V) resistor. 
Because this pin can be connected to a 2.5V or 3.3V device, this pin has 
no internal pull-high resistor. 
8305SB = SCL_MDC, 8305S = NC. 
SDA_MDIO 
75 
IO 
SDA or MDIO: 
This pin is tri state when RESET#=0. 
When pin EnEEPROM=1, this pin becomes SDA (input/output) to load 
the serial EEPROM upon reset. Then this pin changes as MDIO 
(input/output) after reset. 
When pin EnEEPROM=0, this pin is MDIO (input/output). 
It should be pulled-high by an external resistor. 
Because this pin can be connected to a 2.5V or 3.3V device, this pin has 
no internal pull-high resistor.  
8305SB = SDA_MDIO, 8305S = NC.
