Reference Clock (REF_CLK)
REF_CLK is a continuous 50 MHz clock that provides the timing reference for CRS_DV, RXD[1:0], TX_EN, TXD[1:0], and RX_ER.
REF_CLK is sourced by the MAC or an external source. Switch implementations may choose to provide REF_CLK as an input or an
output depending on whether they provide a REF_CLK output or rely on an external clock distribution device. Each PHY device shall
have an input corresponding to this clock but may use a single clock input for multiple PHYs implemented on a single IC.
Carrier Sense/Receive Data Valid (CRS_DV)
CRS_DV is asserted asynchronously on detection of carrier due to the criteria relevant to the operating mode. That is, in 10BASE-T
mode, when squelch is passed or in 100BASE-X mode when 2 non-contiguous zeroes in 10 bits are detected carrier is said to be
detected.
Loss of carrier shall result in the de-assertion of CRS_DV synchronous to REF_CLK. So long as carrier criteria are being met,
CRS_DV shall remain asserted continuously from the first recovered di-bit of the frame through the final recovered di-bit and shall be
negated prior to the first REF_CLK that follows the final di-bit.
The data on RXD[1:0] is considered valid once CRS_DV is asserted. However, since the assertion of CRS_DV is asynchronous
relative to REF_CLK, the data on RXD[1:0] shall be "00" until proper receive signal decoding takes place (see definition of RXD[1:0]
behavior).
Receive Data [1:0] (RXD[1:0])
RXD[1:0] shall transition synchronously to REF_CLK. For each clock period in which CRS_DV is asserted, RXD[1:0] transfers two
bits of recovered data from the PHY. In some cases (e.g. before data recovery or during error conditions) a pre-determined value for
RXD[1:0] is transferred instead of recovered data. RXD[1:0] shall be "00" to indicate idle when CRS_DV is de-asserted. Values of
RXD[1:0] other than "00" when CRS_DV is de-asserted are reserved for out-of-band signaling (to be defined). Values other than "00"
on RXD[1:0] while CRS_DV is de-asserted shall be ignored by the MAC/repeater. Upon assertion of CRS_DV, the PHY shall ensure
that RXD[1:0]=00 until proper receive decoding takes place.
Transmit Enable (TX_EN)
Transmit Enable TX_EN indicates that the MAC is presenting di-bits on TXD[1:0] on the RMII for trans-mission. TX_EN shall be
asserted synchronously with the first nibble of the preamble and shall remain asserted while all di-bits to be transmitted are
presented to the RMII. TX_EN shall be negated prior to the first REF_CLK following the final di-bit of a frame. TX_EN shall transition
synchronously with respect to REF_CLK.
Transmit Data [1:0] (TXD[1:0])
Transmit Data TXD[1:0] shall transition synchronously with respect to REF_CLK. When TX_EN is asserted, TXD[1:0] are accepted
for transmission by the PHY. TXD[1:0] shall be "00" to indicate idle when TX_EN is de-asserted. Values of TXD[1:0] other than "00"
when TX_EN is de-asserted are reserved for out-of-band signaling (to be defined). Values other than "00" on TXD[1:0] while TX_EN
is disserted shall be ignored by the PHY.
Collision Detection
Since the definition of CRS_DV and TX_EN both contain an accurate indication of the start of frame, the MAC can reliably
regenerate the COL signal of the MII by Ending TX_EN and CRS_DV.
During the IPG time following the successful transmission of a frame, the COL signal is asserted by some transceivers as a self-test.
The Signal Quality Error (SQE) function will not be supported by the reduced MII due to the lack of the COL signal. Historically, SQE
was present to indicate that a transceiver located physically remote from the MAC was functioning. Since the reduced MII only
supports chip-to-chip connections on a PCB, SQE functionality is not required.
RX_ER
The PHY shall provide RX_ER as an output according to the rules specified in IEEE 802.3u [2] (see Clause 24, Figure 24-11 -
Receive State Diagram). RX_ER shall be asserted for one or more REF_CLK periods to indicate that an error (e.g. a coding error or
any error that a PHY is capable of detecting, and that may otherwise be undetectable by the MAC sublayer) was detected
somewhere in the frame presently being transferred from the PHY. RX_ER shall transition synchronously with respect to REF_CLK.
While CRS_DV is de-asserted, RX_ER shall have no effect on the MAC.
