Output Collision (Detect).
The ICS1892 asserts a signal on the COL pin when the ICS1892 detects
receive activity while transmitting (that is, while the TXEN signal is
asserted by the MAC/repeater, that is, when transmitting). When the
mode is:
• 10Base-T, the ICS1892 detects receive activity by monitoring the
un-squelched MDI receive signal.
• 100Base-TX, the ICS1892 detects receive activity when there are two
non-contiguous zeros in any 10-bit symbol derived from the MDI
receive data stream.
Note:
1. The signal on the COL pin is not synchronous to either RXCLK or
TXCLK.
2. In full-duplex mode, the COL signal is disabled and always remains
low.
3. The COL signal is asserted as part of the signal quality error (SQE)
test. This assertion can be suppressed with the SQE Test Inhibit bit (bit
18.2).

Output Carrier Sense.
• In half-duplex mode, the ICS1892 asserts a signal on the CRS pin
when the ICS1892 detects either receive or transmit activity.
• In full-duplex mode and Repeater mode, the ICS1892 asserts a signal
on the CRS pin only when the ICS1892 detects receive activity.
Note: The signal on the CRS pin is not synchronous to either RXCLK or
TXCLK.
Input
Management Data Clock.
The ICS1892 uses the signal on the MDC pin to synchronize the transfer
of management information between the ICS1892 and the Station
Management Entity (STA), using the serial MDIO data line. The MDC
signal is sourced by the STA.
