General Purpose I/O data: These
three general-purpose signals are
fully programmable as either push-
pull output, open-drain output or input
by writing the GPIO_CFG
configuration register in the CSR’s.
They are also multiplexed as GP LED
connections.

outputs these signals are open-drain.
Indicator).
nLED1 (Speed Indicator). This
signal is driven low when the
operating speed is 100Mbs, during
auto-negotiation and when the cable
is disconnected. This signal is driven
high only during 10Mbs operation.
nLED2 (Link & Activity Indicator).
This signal is driven low (LED on)
when the LAN9215I detects a valid
link. This signal is pulsed high (LED
off) for 80mS whenever transmit or
receive activity is detected. This
signal is then driven low again for a
minimum of 80mS, after which time it
will repeat the process if TX or RX
activity is detected. Effectively, LED2
is activated solid for a link. When
transmit or receive activity is sensed
LED2 will flash as an activity
indicator.
nLED3 (Full-Duplex Indicator). This
signal is driven low when the link is
operating in full-duplex mode.
PLL Bias: Connect to an external
12.0K ohm 1.0% resistor to ground.
Used for the PLL Bias circuit.
