3.0 MAC Interface
The DP83849C 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 DP83849C 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 DP83849C 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
22
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.
If the DP83849C 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.
