3.0 Functional Description
The DP83848I supports several modes of operation using
the MII interface pins. The options are defined in the follow-
ing sections and include:
— MII Mode
— RMII Mode
— 10 Mb Serial Network Interface (SNI)
The modes of operation can be selected by strap options
or register control. For RMII mode, it is required to use the
strap option, since it requires a 50 MHz clock instead of the
normal 25 MHz.
In each of these modes, the IEEE 802.3 serial manage-
ment interface is operational for device configuration and
status. The serial management interface of the MII allows
for the configuration and control of multiple PHY devices,
gathering of status, error information, and the determina-
tion of the type and capabilities of the attached PHY(s).
3.1 MII Interface
The DP83848I incorporates the Media Independent Inter-
face (MII) as specified in Clause 22 of the IEEE 802.3u
standard. This interface may be used to connect PHY
devices to a MAC in 10/100 Mb/s systems. This section
describes the nibble wide MII data interface.
The nibble wide MII data interface consists of a receive bus
and a transmit bus each with control signals to facilitate
data transfer between the PHY and the upper layer (MAC).
3.1.1 Nibble-wide MII Data Interface
Clause 22 of the IEEE 802.3u specification defines the
Media Independent Interface. This interface includes a
dedicated receive bus and a dedicated transmit bus. These
two data buses, along with various control and status sig-
nals, allow for the simultaneous exchange of data between
the DP83848I and the upper layer agent (MAC).
The receive interface consists of a nibble wide data bus
RXD[3:0], a receive error signal RX_ER, a receive data
valid flag RX_DV, and a receive clock RX_CLK for syn-
chronous transfer of the data. The receive clock operates
at either 2.5 MHz to support 10 Mb/s operation modes or at
25 MHz to support 100 Mb/s operational modes.
The transmit interface consists of a nibble wide data bus
TXD[3:0], a transmit enable control signal TX_EN, and a
transmit clock TX_CLK which runs at either 2.5 MHz or 25
MHz.
Additionally, the MII includes the carrier sense signal CRS,
as well as a collision detect signal COL. The CRS signal
asserts to indicate the reception of data from the network
or as a function of transmit data in Half Duplex mode. The
COL signal asserts as an indication of a collision which can
occur during half-duplex operation when both a transmit
and receive operation occur simultaneously.
3.1.2 Collision Detect
For Half Duplex, a 10BASE-T or 100BASE-TX collision is
detected when the receive and transmit channels are
active simultaneously. Collisions are reported by the COL
signal on the MII.
21
If the DP83848I is transmitting in 10 Mb/s mode when a
collision is detected, the collision is not reported until seven
bits have been received while in the collision state. This
prevents a collision being reported incorrectly due to noise
on the network. The COL signal remains set for the dura-
tion of the collision.
If a collision occurs during a receive operation, it is immedi-
ately reported by the COL signal.
When heartbeat is enabled (only applicable to 10 Mb/s
operation), approximately 1 s after the transmission of
each packet, a Signal Quality Error (SQE) signal of approx-
imately 10 bit times is generated (internally) to indicate
successful transmission. SQE is reported as a pulse on the
COL signal of the MII.
3.1.3 Carrier Sense
Carrier Sense (CRS) is asserted due to receive activity,
once valid data is detected via the squelch function during
10 Mb/s operation. During 100 Mb/s operation CRS is
asserted when a valid link (SD) and two non-contiguous
zeros are detected on the line.
For 10 or 100 Mb/s Half Duplex operation, CRS is asserted
during either packet transmission or reception.
For 10 or 100 Mb/s Full Duplex operation, CRS is asserted
only due to receive activity.
CRS is deasserted following an end of packet.
3.2 Reduced MII Interface
The DP83848I incorporates the Reduced Media Indepen-
dent Interface (RMII) as specified in the RMII specification
(rev1.2) from the RMII Consortium. This interface may be
used to connect PHY devices to a MAC in 10/100 Mb/s
systems using a reduced number of pins. In this mode,
data is transferred 2-bits at a time using the 50 MHz
RMII_REF clock for both transmit and receive. The follow-
ing pins are used in RMII mode:
— TX_EN
— TXD[1:0]
— RX_ER (optional for Mac)
— CRS_DV
— RXD[1:0]
— X1 (RMII Reference clock is 50 MHz)
In addition, the RMII mode supplies an RX_DV signal
which allows for a simpler method of recovering receive
data without having to separate RX_DV from the CRS_DV
indication. This is especially useful for systems which do
not require CRS, such as systems that only support full-
duplex operation. This signal is also useful for diagnostic
testing where it may be desirable to loop Receive RMII
data directly to the transmitter.
Since the reference clock operates at 10 times the data
rate for 10 Mb/s operation, transmit data is sampled every
10 clocks. Likewise, receive data will be generated every
10th clock so that an attached device can sample the data
every 10 clocks.
RMII mode requires a 50 MHz oscillator be connected to
the device X1 pin. A 50 MHz crystal is not supported.
