MDIO

Input/ Management Data Input/Output.
Output The signal on this pin can be tri-stated and can be driven by one of the
following:
• A Station Management Entity (STA), to transfer command and data
information to the registers of the ICS1893CF.
• The ICS1893CF, to transfer status information.
All transfers and sampling are synchronous with the signal on the MDC
pin.
Note: If the ICS1893CF is to be used in an application that uses the
mechanical MII specification, MDIO must have a 1.5 kΩ ±5%
pull-up resistor at the ICS1893CF end and a 2 kΩ ±5% pull-down
resistor at the station management end. (These resistors enable
the station management to determine if the connection is intact.)
RXCLK

Output Receive Clock.
The ICS1893CF sources the RXCLK to the MAC interface. The
ICS1893CF uses RXCLK to synchronize the signals on the following pins:
RXD[3:0], RXDV, and RXER. The following table contrasts the behavior
on the RXCLK pin when the mode for the ICS1893CF is either 10Base-T
or 100Base-TX.
