Configuration Straps
Configuration straps allow various features of the LAN9311/LAN9311i to be automatically configured
to user defined values. Configuration straps can be organized into two main categories: hard-straps
and soft-straps. Both hard-straps and soft-straps are latched upon Power-On Reset (POR) or pin reset
(nRST). The primary difference between these strap types is that soft-strap default values can be
overridden by the EEPROM Loader, while hard-straps cannot.
Configuration straps which have a corresponding external pin include internal resistors in order to
prevent the signal from floating when unconnected. If a particular configuration strap is connected to
a load, an external pull-up or pull-down resistor should be used to augment the internal resistor to
ensure that it reaches the required voltage level prior to latching. The internal resistor can also be
overridden by the addition of an external resistor.
Note: The system designer must guarantee that configuration strap pins meet the timing
Soft-Straps
Soft-strap values are latched on the release of POR or nRST and are overridden by values from the
EEPROM Loader (when an EEPROM is present). These straps are used as direct configuration values
or as defaults for CPU registers. Some, but not all, soft-straps have an associated pin. Those that do
not have an associated pin, have a tie off default value. All soft-strap values can be overridden by the
EEPROM Loader.
Straps which have an associated pin are also fully defined in

RELOAD command via the
original latched (non-overridden) values if an EEPROM is no longer attached or has been erased. The
associated pins are not re-sampled. (i.e. The value latched on the pin during the last POR or nRST
will be used, not the value on the pin during the digital reset or RELOAD command issuance). If it is
desired to re-latch the current configuration strap pin values, a POR or nRST must be issued.

If configuration strap pins are not at the correct voltage level prior to being latched, the
LAN9311/LAN9311i may capture incorrect strap values.
