controller during command portions of a read of the en-

tire EEPROM, or indirectly by the host system by read-

ing from BCR19, bit 0.

Note: The EEDO pin is multiplexed with the LED3 pin.

EESK

EEPROM Serial Clock

Output

This pin is designed to directly interface to a serial

EEPROM that uses the 93C46 EEPROM interface pro-

tocol. EESK is connected to the EEPROM’s clock pin.

It is controlled by either the Am79C978 controller di-

rectly during a read of the entire EEPROM, or indirectly

by the host system by writing to BCR19, bit 1.

Note: The EESK pin is multiplexed with the LED1 pin.

The EESK pin is also used during EEPROM Auto-

Detection to determine whether or not an EEPROM is

present at the Am79C978 controller interface. At the

rising edge of the last CLK edge while RST is asserted,

EESK is sampled to determine the value of the EEDET

bit in BCR19. A sampled HIGH value means that an

EEPROM is present, and EEDET will be set to 1. A

sampled LOW value means that an EEPROM is not

present, and EEDET will be set to 0. See the EEPROM

Auto-Detection section for more details.

If no LED circuit is to be attached to this pin, then a pull-

up or pull-down resistor must be attached instead to re-

solve the EEDET setting.

WARNING: The input signal level of EESK must be

valid for correct EEPROM detection before the deas-

sertion of RST.

MII Interface

RX_CLK

Receive Clock

Input

RX_CLK is a clock input that provides the timing refer-

ence for the transfer of the RX_DV, RXD[3:0], and

RX_ER signals into the Am79C978 device. RX_CLK

must provide a nibble rate clock (25% of the network

data rate). Hence, when the Am79C978 device is oper-

ating at 10 Mbps, it provides an RX_CLK frequency of

2.5 MHz, and at 100 Mbps it provides an RX_CLK fre-

quency of 25 MHz.

RXD[3:0]

Receive Data

Input

RXD[3:0] is the nibble-wide MII-compatible receive

data bus. Data on RXD[3:0] is sampled on every rising

edge of RX_CLK while RX_DV is asserted. RXD[3:0] is

ignored while RX_DV is de-asserted.

RX_DV

Receive Data Valid

Input

RX_DV is an input used to indicate that valid received

data is being presented on the RXD[3:0] pins and

RX_CLK is synchronous to the receive data. In order

for a frame to be fully received by the Am79C978 de-

vice, RX_DV must be asserted prior to the RX_CLK ris-

ing edge, when the first nibble of the Start of Frame

Delimiter is driven on RXD[3:0], and must remain as-

serted until after the rising edge of RX_CLK, when the

last nibble of the CRC is driven on RXD[3:0]. RX_DV

must then be deasserted prior to the RX_CLK rising

edge which follows this final nibble. RX_DV transitions

are synchronous to RX_CLK rising edges.

CRS

Receive Carrier Sense

Input

CRS is an input that indicates that a non-idle medium,

due either to transmit or receive activity, has been de-

tected.

COL

Collision

Input

COL is an input that indicates that a collision has been

detected on the network medium.

RX_ER

Receive Error

Input

RX_ER is an input that indicates that the MII trans-

ceiver device has detected a coding error in the receive

data frame currently being transferred on the RXD[3:0]

pins. If RX_ER is asserted while RX_DV is asserted, a

CRC error will be indicated in the receive descriptor for

the incoming receive frame. RX_ER is ignored while

RX_DV is deasserted. Special code groups generated

on RXD while RX_DV is deasserted are ignored (e.g.,

bad SSD in TX and idle in T4). RX_ER transitions are

synchronous to RX_CLK.

TX_CLK

Transmit Clock

Input

TX_CLK is a clock input that provides the timing refer-

ence for the transfer of the TXD[3:0] and TX_ER sig-

nals into the Am79C978 device. TX_CLK must provide

a nibble rate clock (25% of the network data rate).

Hence, when the Am79C978 device is operating at 10

Mbps, it provides an TX_CLK frequency of 2.5 MHz,

and at 100 Mbps it provides an RX_CLK frequency of

25 MHz.

TXD[3:0]

Transmit Data

Output

TXD[3:0] is the nibble-wide MII-compatible transmit

data bus. Valid data is generated on TXD[3:0] on every

rising edge of TX_CLK while TX_EN is asserted. While

TX_EN is deasserted, TXD[3:0] values are driven to 0.

TXD[3:0] transitions are synchronous to rising edges of

TX_CLK.
