DM9101
10/100Mbps Ethernet Physical Layer Single Chip Transceiver
Basic Mode Control Register (BMCR) - Register 0
Bit
Bit Name
Default
Description
Reset:
0.15
Reset
0, RW/SC
1=Software reset
0=Normal operation
When set this bit configures the PHY status and control
registers to their default states. This bit will return a value of
one until the reset process is complete
Loopback:
0.14
Loopback
0, RW
Loopback control register
1=Loopback enabled
0=Normal operation
When in 100M operation is selected, setting this bit will cause
the descrambler to lose synchronization. A 720ms "dead time"
will occur before any valid data appears at the MII receive
outputs
Speed Select:
1=100Mbps
0=10Mbps
0.13
0.12
Speed Selection
1, RW
Link speed may be selected either by this bit or by Auto-
negotiation if bit 12 of this register is set. When Auto-
negotiation is enabled, this bit will return Auto-negotiation link
speed.
Auto-negotiation Enable:
1= Auto-negotiation enabled:
Auto-negotiation
Enable
1, RW
0, RW
0= Auto-negotiation disabled:
When auto-negotiation is enabled bits 8 and 13 will contain the
Auto-negotiation results. When Auto-negotiation is disabled bits
8 and 13 will determine the duplex mode and link speed
Power Down:
1=Power Down
0=Normal Operation
Setting this bit will power down the DM9101 with the exception
of the crystal oscillator circuit
Isolate:
1= Isolate
0= Normal Operation
0.11
0.10
Power Down
Isolate
(PHYAD=
00000),
RW
When this bit is set the data path will be isolated from the
MII interface. TX_CLK, RX_CLK, RX_DV, RX_ER,
RXD[3:0], COL and CRS will be placed in a high impedance
state. The management interface is not effected by this bit.
When the PHY Address is set to 00000 the isolate bit will be
set upon power-up/reset
