Half Vs. Full-Duplex
Half-duplex operation relies on the CSMA/CD (Carrier Sense Multiple Access / Collision Detect)
protocol to handle network traffic and collisions. In this mode, the carrier sense signal, CRS, responds
to both transmit and receive activity. If data is received while the PHY is transmitting, a collision results.
In full-duplex mode, the PHY is able to transmit and receive data simultaneously. In this mode, CRS
responds only to receive activity. The CSMA/CD protocol does not apply and collision detection is
disabled.
HP Auto-MDIX
HP Auto-MDIX facilitates the use of CAT-3 (10 BASE-T) or CAT-5 (100 BASE-T) media UTP
interconnect cable without consideration of interface wiring scheme. If a user plugs in either a direct
connect LAN cable or a cross-over patch cable, as shown in
PHY is capable of configuring the TXPx/TXNx and RXPx/RXNx twisted pair pins for correct transceiver
operation.
The internal logic of the device detects the TX and RX pins of the connecting device. Since the RX
and TX line pairs are interchangeable, special PCB design considerations are needed to accommodate
the symmetrical magnetics and termination of an Auto-MDIX design.
The Auto-MDIX function can be disabled through bit 15 (AMDIXCTRL) of the
Control/Status Indication Register
cleared, Auto-MDIX can be selected via the auto_mdix_strap_x configuration strap. The MDIX can also
be configured manually via the manual_mdix_strap_x if both the AMDIXCTRL bit and the
auto_mdix_strap_x configuration strap are low. Refer to
more information on the configuration straps.

MII MAC Interface
The MII MAC Interface is responsible for the transmission and reception of the Ethernet data to and
from the switch fabric MAC. The PHY is connected internally to the switch fabric MAC via standard
MII signals per IEEE 802.3.
