Note: Per the RMII Specification, output delays assume a 25pF load.
Note: CRS_DV is asserted asynchronously in order to minimize latency of control signals through the why. CRS_DV may
toggle synchronously at the end of the packet to indicate CRS deassertion.
Note: RX_DV is synchronous to X1. While not part of the RMII specification, this signal is provided to simplify recovery of
receive data.
