1. Refer to Table 15 for basic configurations.
2. Refer to Table 16 for Hardware Control Interface functions advertised when auto-negotiation is enabled.
3. When SD/TPn is set High or to PECL levels, auto-negotiation is disabled and FDE_FX determines the duplex mode of the
port.
4. CFG_2, CFG_0, and SD/TPn must all be set for 100TX operation.
5. Fiber configuration must be selected on a per-port basis.
2.3
Initialization
At power-up or reset, the LXT974/975 performs the initialization as shown in Figure 11. Control
mode selection is provided via the MDDIS pin as shown in Table 18. When MDDIS (pin 100) is
High, the LXT974/975 operates in Manual Control Mode. When MDDIS is Low, the LXT974/975
operates in MDIO Control Mode.
2.3.1
MDIO Control Mode
In the MDIO Control Mode, the LXT974/975 uses the Hardware Control Interface to set up initial
(default) values of the MDIO registers. The MDIO Register set for the LXT974/975 is described in
Table 44 through Table 55. 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). Once initial values
are set, bit control reverts to the MDIO interface.
2.3.2
Manual Control Mode
In the Manual Control Mode, LXT974/975 disables direct write operations to the MDIO registers
via the MDIO interface. The Hardware Control Interface is continuously monitored and the MDIO
registers are updated accordingly.
