RTL8305SC
Datasheet
5-port 10/100Mbps Single-Chip Dual MII Switch Controller
22
Track ID: JATR-1076-21 Rev. 1.2
5.7. Serial EEPROM and SMI Pins
As the output of the RTL8305SC is 3.3V, the serial EEPROM and external device must be 3.3V
compatible.

Type
Drive (mA) Description
SCL_MDC
74
I/OPU
4
SCL or MDC
This pin is tri state when pin RESET#=0.
When pin EnEEPROM=1, this pin becomes SCL (output) to load the
serial EEPROM upon reset. Then this pin changes to MDC (input)
after reset.
When pin EnEEPROM=0, this pin is MDC (input): 0 to 25MHz clock,
sourced by an external device to sample MDIO.
SDA_MDIO
75
I/OPU
4
SDA or MDIO
This pin is tri state when RESET#=0.
When pin EnEEPROM=1, this pin becomes SDA (input/output) to
load the serial EEPROM upon reset. Then this pin changes to MDIO
(input/output) after reset. It should be pulled-high by an external
resistor.
When pin EnEEPROM=0, this pin is MDIO (input/output). It should
be pulled-high by an external resistor.
5.8. Strapping Pins
Pins that are dual function pins are outputs for LED or inputs for strapping. Below are strapping
descriptions only.

EN_AUTOXOVER
69
IPU
Enable Auto crossover function
1: Enable auto crossover detection
0: Disable auto crossover detection. MDI only
EN_RST_BLNK
71
IPU
Enable Reset Blink
This enables blinking of the LEDs upon reset for diagnostic
purposes.
1: Enable reset LED blinking
0: Disable reset LED blinking
DisTagPri

Input Upon Reset = Disable 802.1p VLAN Tag priority based
QoS function.
1: Disable
0: Enable
Output After Reset = Used for LED.
