7. Functional Description
The DM9161BI Fast Ethernet single chip transceiver,
providing the functionality as specified in IEEE 802.3u,
integrates a complete 100Base-TX module and a complete
10Base-T module. The DM9161BI provides a Media
Independent Interface (MII) as defined in the IEEE 802.3u
standard (Clause 22).
7.1 MII Interface
The DM9161B provides a Media Independent Interface (MII)
as defined in the IEEE 802.3u standard (Clause 22).
The purpose of the MII interface is to provide a simple, easy
to implement connection between the MAC Reconciliation
layer and the PHY. The MII is designed to make the
differences between various media transparent to the MAC
sub layer.
The MII consists of a nibble wide receive data bus, a nibble
wide transmit data bus, and control signals to facilitate data
transfers between the PHY and the Reconciliation layer.

The DM9161BI performs all PCS (Physical Coding Sub
layer), PMA (Physical Media Access), TP-PMD (Twisted
Pair Physical Medium Dependent) sub layer, 10Base-T
Encoder/Decoder, and Twisted Pair Media Access Unit
(TPMAU) functions. Figure 7-1 shows the major functional
blocks implemented in the DM9161BI.

respect to TXCLK. For each TXCLK period, which
TXEN is asserted, TXD (3:0) are accepted for
transmission by the PHY.
TXCLK (transmit clock) output to the MAC reconciliation
sub layer is a continuous clock that provides the timing
reference for the transfer of the TXEN, TXD, and TXER
signals.
TXEN (transmit enable) input from the MAC
reconciliation sub layer indicates that nibbles are being
presented on the MII for transmission on the physical
medium.
