SMII Signal Definition
SMII is composed of two signals per port, a global synchronization signal, and a global 125MHz reference clock. All signals are
synchronous to the clock. All SMII I/F uses a common 125MHz reference clock and SYNC signals that are synchronous to the
reference clock. There are two signals in SMII from MAC-to-PHY for each port (TXD and TxSYNC), and one signal per port from
PHY-to-MAC (RXD).
The Serial Media Independent Interface (SMII) is designed to satisfy the following requirements:
SMII Signals
Receive Path
Receive data and control information are signaled in ten bit segments. In 100Mbit mode, each segment represents a new byte of
data. In 10Mbit mode, each segment is repeated ten times; therefore, every ten segments represent a new byte of data. The MAC
can simply any one of every 10 segment ion 10Mbit mode.
Segment boundaries are delimited by SYNC. The MAC continuously generates a pulse on SYNC every 10 clocks.

RX – Bit Description
RXD7-0 are used to convey packet data, RX_ER, and PHY status. The MAC can infer the meaning of RXD on a segment-by-basis
by encoding the two control bits.

RX contains all of the information found on the receive path of the standard MII.
