Description
MDIO
64
I/O, D
Management Data Input/Output. Bi-directional data interface. 1.5K pull up
resistor required (as specified in IEEE-802.3).
MDC
65
I, D
Management Data Clock. 0 to 25 MHz clock sourced by the MAC for transfer of
MDIO data.
INTR
94
Z
Interrupt. See Registers 16 and 17 for polarity and sources. The INTR pin has a
high impedance output, a 1K
Ω pull-up or pull-down resistor is needed.
