Functional Description
Introduction
The LXT9784 is a single chip transceiver device containing eight independent 10/100 Ethernet
transceivers with RMII and/or SMII Interfaces. The LXT9784 supports per-port speed auto-
configuration. Each of the eight PHYs represents a highly-integrated, physical-layer interface
solution designed for 10Mbps and/or 100 Mbps Ethernet systems based on the IEEE 802.3
Standard 10BASE-T and 100BASE-TX specifications.
100BASE-TX is an IEEE 802.3 Standard physical layer specification for use over two pairs of
Category 5 unshielded twisted-pair (UTP CAT 5) or Type 1 shielded twisted pair (STP Type 1)
cable. 100BASE-TX defines a signaling scheme not only for 100 Mbps, but also provides CSMA/
CD compatibility with the 10Mbps IEEE 802.3 Standard 10BASE-T signaling standard.
Each PHY of the LXT9784 complies with the IEEE 802.3u Auto-Negotiation section, and with the
IEEE 802.3x Full- Duplex Flow Control section. The interface to each PHY complies with the
current RMII and SMII specifications.
The LXT9784 PHYs incorporate all active circuitry required to interface 10/100 Mbps Ethernet
controllers and CSMA/CD MAC components to 100BASE-TX and 10BASE-T networks. Each
PHY supports a direct glue less interface to all standard RMII or SMII components.
how the LXT9784 PHY fits into a typical 10/100 Mbps Ethernet switch design.

LXT9784 Configuration
The LXT9784 has a common Management Data Interface (MDI) for the eight PHYs. This is a
serial interface and complies with the IEEE 802.3Standard MII for MDC and MDIO signals. In all
modes of operation the PHYs can be configured individually using the MII management interface.
