The following provides additional information about the terms used in Figure 8 and
Figure 9.
Idle During idle, the MDIO node goes to a high-impedance state. This allows an
external pull-up resistor to pull the MDIO node up to a logical 1 state. Because the idle
mode should not contain any transitions on MDIO, the number of bits is undefined
during idle.
Preamble
string of ones. If it exists, the preamble must be at least one bit; otherwise, it may be
of an arbitrary length.
Start of Frame (SFD)
not 01, all following bits are ignored until the next preamble pattern is detected.
Read or Write Opcode
write. If these bits are not either 01 or 10, all following bits are ignored until the next
preamble pattern is detected.
PHY Address
PHY address matches its physical address. The physical address is five bits long (4:0).
The bits are set by the CMODE pins.
Register Address The next five bits are the register address.
Turn-around The two bits used to avoid signal contention when a read operation is
performed on the MDIO are called the turn-around (TA) bits. During read operations,
the VSC8601 device drives the second TA bit, which is a logical 0.
Data
stream. When data is read from a PHY, it is valid at the output from one rising edge of
