Clock Circuit
The device can accept either a 25MHz crystal or a 25MHz single-ended clock oscillator (±50ppm)
input. If the single-ended clock oscillator method is implemented, XTAL2 should be left unconnected
and XTAL1/CLKIN should be driven with a nominal 0-3.3V clock signal. See Table 5.13 for the
recommended crystal specifications.

Note 5.20 The maximum allowable values for Frequency Tolerance and Frequency Stability are
application dependant. Since any particular application must meet the IEEE ±50 PPM Total
PPM Budget, the combination of these two values must be approximately ±45 PPM
(allowing for aging).
Note 5.21 Frequency Deviation Over Time is also referred to as Aging.
Note 5.22 The total deviation for the Transmitter Clock Frequency is specified by IEEE 802.3u as
±100 PPM.
Note 5.23 0oC for extended commercial version, -40oC for industrial version.
Note 5.24 This number includes the pad, the bond wire and the lead frame. PCB capacitance is not
included in this value. The XTAL1/CLKIN pin, XTAL2 pin and PCB capacitance values are
required to accurately calculate the value of the two external load capacitors. The total load
capacitance must be equivalent to what the crystal expects to see in the circuit so that the
crystal oscillator will operate at 25.000 MHz.
