Ipu/OMII Mode: MII Receive Data Output3
Config Mode: The pull-up/pull-down value is latched as PHYADDR[0] at the de-
assertion of reset.

Ipd/OMII Mode: MII Receive Data Output2
Config Mode: The pull-up/pull-down value is latched as PHYADDR[1] at the de-
assertion of reset.

2. P = Power supply.

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).

3. MII RX Mode: The RXD[3:0] bits are synchronous with RXC. When RXDV is asserted, RXD[3:0] presents valid data to the MAC. RXD[3:0] is invalid data from the PHY when RXDV is de-asserted.
