Fast Ethernet 10/100 Hex Transceiver with Full MII — LXT9763
1.7
Hardware Configuration Settings
The LXT9763 provides a hardware option to set the initial device configuration. The hardware
option uses the three LED/CFG pins for each port. This provides three control bits per port, as
listed in Table 7. The LED drivers can operate as either open drain or open source circuits as shown
in Figure 9. The LED pins are sensitive to polarity and will automatically pull up or pull down to
configure for either open drain or open source circuits (10 mA max current rating) as required by
the hardware configuration. In applications where all ports are configured the same, several pins
may be tied together with a single resistor.
Note: Fiber operation cannot be selected via hardware. Fiber operation must be enabled via the MDIO
port.
