Transmit Enable - Ports 0 - 3. Active High input enables respective port transmitter. This
signal must be synchronous to the TX_CLK.
Transmit Clock - Ports 0 - 3. 25 MHz for 100 Mbps operation, 2.5 MHz for 10 Mbps
operation. The transmit data and control signals must always be synchronized to TX_CLK
by the MAC. The LXT974/975 normally samples these signals on the rising edge of
TX_CLK. However, Advanced TX_CLK Mode is available by setting MII register bit 19.5=1.
In this mode, the LXT974/975 samples the transmit data and control signals on the falling
edge of TX_CLK.

Transmit Coding Error - Ports 0 - 3. This signal must be driven synchronously to TX_CLK.

1. Type Column Coding: I = Input, O = Output, OD = Open Drain
2. The LXT974/975 supports the 802.3 MDIO register set. Specific bits in the registers are referenced using an “X.Y” notation,
where X is the register number (0-6 or 16-20) and Y is the bit number (0-15).
3. Unused pins should be tied Low.
