MII Interface Operation
The media independent interface (MII) is specified by the IEEE 802.3 committee and provides a common interface
betweenphysical layer and MAC layer devices. The KS8995MA/FQ provides two such interfaces. The MII-P5
interface is used to connectto the fifth PHY, whereas the MII-SW interface is used to connect to the fifth MAC. Each
of these MII interfaces contains twodistinct groups of signals, one for transmission and the other for receiving. Table
1 describes the signals used in the MII-P5 interface.
