DESCRIPTION
Carrier Sense
/ Receive
Data Valid
CRS_DV
VO8
This signal is asserted to indicate the receive
medium is non-idle in RMII Mode. When a
10BASE-T packet is received, CRS_DV is
asserted, but RXD[1:0] is held low until the SFD
byte (10101011) is received.
(RMII Mode)
Note:
Per the RMII standard, transmitted data
is not looped back onto the receive data
pins in 10BASE-T half-duplex mode.
Collision
Detect
COL
VO8
This signal is asserted to indicate detection of a
collision condition in MII Mode.

(PU)
Combined with MODE0 and MODE1, this
configuration strap sets the default PHY mode.
See Note 2.1 for more information on
configuration straps.
Note:
Refer to Section 3.7.2, "MODE[2:0]:
Mode Configuration," on page 36 for
additional details.
Carrier Sense
(MII Mode)
CRS
VO8
(PD)
This signal indicates detection of a carrier in MII
Mode.

Note 2.1 Configuration strap values are latched on power-on reset and system reset. Configuration
straps are identified by an underlined symbol name. Signals that function as configuration
straps must be augmented with an external resistor when connected to a load. Refer to
Section 3.7, "Configuration Straps," on page 36 for additional information.

LED 1
LED1
O12
Link activity LED Indication. This pin is driven
active when a valid link is detected and blinks
when activity is detected.
Note:
Refer to Section 3.8.1, "LEDs," on
page 39 for additional LED information.

Configuration
Strap
REGOFF
IS
(PD)
This configuration strap is used to disable the
internal 1.2V regulator. When the regulator is
disabled, external 1.2V must be supplied to
VDDCR.
When REGOFF is pulled high to VDD2A with
an external resistor, the internal regulator is
disabled.
1
When REGOFF is floating or pulled low, the
internal regulator is enabled (default).
See Note 2.2 for more information on
configuration straps.
Note:
Refer to Section 3.7.4, "REGOFF:
Internal +1.2V Regulator Configuration,"
on page 38 for additional details.
