CMOS
VDD_GE
RGMII Transmit Clock
RGMII transmit reference output clock for GE0_TXD[3:0] and
GE0_TXCTL Provides 125 MHz, 25 MHz or 2.5 MHz clock.
Not used in MII mode.
GMII Transmit Clock
Provides the timing reference for the transfer of the GE0_TXEN,
GE0_TXERR, and GE0_TXD[7:0] signals. This clock operates at
125 MHz.

VDD_GE
MII Transmit Clock
MII transmit reference clock from PHY.
Provides the timing reference for the transmission of the
GE0_TXEN, GE0_TXERR, and GE0_TXD[3:0] signals. This clock
operates at 2.5 MHz or 25 MHz.
GE0_TXD[3:0]
t/s
O
RGMII Transmit Data
Contains the transmit data nibble outputs that run at double data
rate with bits [3:0] presented on the rising edge of
GE0_TXCLKOUT and bits [7:4] presented on the falling edge.
NOTE: These pins have integrated pullup/pulldown resistors. See
details in Table 28, Reset Configuration, on page 56.
MII Transmit Data
Contains the transmit data nibble outputs that are synchronous to
the GE0_TXCLK input.
GMII Transmit Data
Contains the transmit data nibble outputs that are synchronized to
GE0_TXCLKOUT.
GE0_TXD[7:4]
t/s
O
CMOS
VDDO_D
GMII Transmit Data
Contains the transmit data nibble outputs that are synchronized to
GE0_TXCLKOUT.
NOTE: Multiplexed on MPP.
