For RMII, the MAC controller drives the transmit data onto the TXD bus and asserts TXEN to indicate
valid data. The data is latched by the transceiver’s RMII block on the rising edge of REF_CLK. The
data is in the form of 2-bit wide 50MHz data.
4B/5B Encoding
The transmit data passes from the MII/RMII block to the 4B/5B encoder. This block encodes the data
from 4-bit nibbles to 5-bit symbols (known as “code-groups”) according to
nibble is mapped to 16 of the 32 possible code-groups. The remaining 16 code-groups are either used
for control information or are not valid.
The first 16 code-groups are referred to by the hexadecimal values of their corresponding data nibbles,
0 through F. The remaining code-groups are given letter designations with slashes on either side. For
example, an IDLE code-group is /I/, a transmit error code-group is /H/, etc.
