The Command Override Write Enable bit provides an STA the ability to alter the Command Override Write
(CW) bits located throughout the MII Register set. A two-step process is required to alter the value of a CW
bit:
1. Step one is to issue a Command Override Write, (that is, set bit 16.15 to logic one). This step enables
2. Step two is to write to the register that includes the CW bit which requires modification.
Note:
ICS is reserving these bits for future use. Functionally, these bits are equivalent to IEEE Reserved bits.
When one of these reserved bits is:
•
•
ICS uses some reserved bits to invoke auxiliary functions. To ensure proper operation of the ICS1893, an
STA must maintain the default value of these bits. Therefore, ICS recommends that an STA always write
the default value of any reserved bits during all management register write operations.
These five bits hold the Serial Management Port Address of the ICS1893. During either a hardware reset
or a power-on reset, the PHY address is read from the LED interface. (For information on the LED
interface, see
Address and LED Pins”
Address bits is unaffected by a software reset.)
The Stream Cipher Scrambler Test Mode bit is used to force the ICS1893 to lose LOCK, thereby requiring
the Stream Cipher Scrambler to resynchronize.

This bit allows an STA to control whether NRZ (Not Return to Zero) or NRZI (Not Return to Zero, Invert on
One) encoding is applied to the serial transmit data stream in 100Base-TX mode. When this bit is logic:
•
•
Read by an STA, the ICS1893 returns a logic zero.
Written to by an STA, the STA must use the default value specified in this data sheet.
Zero, the ICS1893 encodes the serial transmit data stream using NRZ encoding.
One, the ICS1893 encodes the serial transmit data stream using NRZI encoding.

the next MDIO write to have the ability to alter any CW bit.
Section 8.11.2, “ ICS Reserved (bits 16.14:11)”
The Command Override Write Enable bit is a Self-Clearing bit that is automatically reset to logic
zero after the next MII write, thereby allowing only one subsequent write to alter the CW bits in a
single register. To alter additional CW bits, the Command Override Write Enable bit must once
again be set to logic one.
