Chapter 4 Clocking, Resets, and Power Management
4.1
Clocks
The LAN9312 includes a clock module which provides generation of all system clocks as required by
the various sub-modules of the device. The LAN9312 requires a fixed-frequency 25MHz clock source
for use by the internal clock oscillator and PLL. This is typically provided by attaching a 25MHz crystal
to the XI and XO pins as specified in Section 15.6, "Clock Circuit," on page 454. Optionally, this clock
can be provided by driving the XI input pin with a single-ended 25MHz clock source. If a single-ended
source is selected, the clock input must run continuously for normal device operation. The internal PLL
generates a fixed 200MHz base clock which is used to derive all LAN9312 sub-system clocks.
In addition to the sub-system clocks, the clock module is also responsible for generating the clocks
used for the general purpose timer and free-running clock. Refer to Chapter 12, "General Purpose
Timer & Free-Running Clock," on page 161 for additional details.
Note: Crystal specifications are provided in Table 15.15, “LAN9312Crystal Specifications,” on
page 454.
4.2
Resets
The LAN9312 provides multiple hardware and software reset sources, which allow varying levels of
the LAN9312 to be reset. All resets can be categorized into three reset types as described in the
following sections:
Chip-Level Resets
—Power-On Reset (POR)
—nRST Pin Reset
Multi-Module Resets
—Digital Reset (DIGITAL_RST)
—Soft Reset (SRST)
Single-Module Resets
—Port 2 PHY Reset
—Port 1 PHY Reset
—Virtual PHY Reset
The LAN9312 supports the use of configuration straps to allow automatic custom configurations of
various LAN9312 parameters. These configuration strap values are set upon de-assertion of all chip-
level resets and can be used to easily set the default parameters of the chip at power-on or pin (nRST)
reset. Refer to Section 4.2.4, "Configuration Straps," on page 40 for detailed information on the usage
of these straps.
Note: The LAN9312 EEPROM Loader is run upon a power-on reset, nRST pin reset, and digital
reset. Refer to Section 10.2.4, "EEPROM Loader," on page 149 for additional information.
Table 4.1 summarizes the effect of the various reset sources on the LAN9312. Refer to the following
sections for detailed information on each of these reset types.
