GND = Ground.

I = Input.

O = Output.

I/O = Bi-directional.

Ipu = Input with internal pull-up (see Electrical Characteristics for value).

Ipu/O = Input with internal pull-up (see Electrical Characteristics for value) during power-up/reset; output pin otherwise.

Ipd/O = Input with internal pull-down (see Electrical Characteristics for value) during power-up/reset; output pin otherwise.

Ipu/Opu = Input with internal pull-up (see Electrical Characteristics for value) and output with internal pull-up (see Electrical Characteristics for value).

NC = Pin is not bonded to the die.

  • Note 2-2 RMII RX Mode: The RXD[1:0] bits are synchronous with the 50 MHz RMII Reference Clock. For each clock period in which CRS_DV is asserted, two bits of recovered data are sent by the PHY to the MAC.
  • Note 2-3 RMII TX Mode: The TXD[1:0] bits are synchronous with the 50 MHz RMII Reference Clock. For each clock period in which TXEN is asserted, two bits of data are received by the PHY from the MAC.

Note 2-4 MII TX Mode: The TXD[3:0] bits are synchronous with TXC. When TXEN is asserted, TXD[3:0] presents valid data from the MAC. TXD[3:0] has no effect on the PHY when TXEN is de-asserted.

Absolute Maximum Ratings

  • (VDDIO, VDDA_3.3) –0.5V to +5.0V
  • Input Voltage (all inputs) –0.5V to +5.0V
  • Output Voltage (all outputs) –0.5V to +5.0V
  • Lead Temperature (soldering, 10s) 260°C
  • Storage Temperature (TS) –55°C to +150°C

* Exceeding the absolute maximum ratings can damage the device. Stresses greater than the absolute maximum rating can cause permanent damage to the device. Operation of the device at these or any other conditions above those specified in the operating sections of this specification is not implied. Maximum conditions for extended periods may affect reliability.
