14 MC92603 Quad and MC92604 Dual Gigabit Ethernet Transceivers MOTOROLA
PRELIMINARY—SUBJECT TO CHANGE WITHOUT NOTICE
The receiver interface works similar to the backplane 10-bit mode except that word synchronization is not
supported and non-aligned operation is not allowed. Also in this mode the XMIT_x_K input is not required
for the transmitter so it is used to “enable COMMA detect”. The MC92603/4 will always initially perform
even/odd alignment to the first IDLE (K28.5) code-group encountered. If XMIT_x_K is low it will NOT
realign to any future IDLEs that may appear in the data stream. Data out of the receiver is even/odd aligned
with the two output clocks. IDLEs (K28.5 code groups) are initially aligned with the rising edge of
RECV_x_CLK_B. If “enable COMMA detect” is enabled (XMIT_x_K is high) then a data code group may
be repeated to force this alignment if an IDLE is encountered in an ODD code group.
MDIO
The MDIO (Management Data Input/Output) interface as defined in Clause 22 of IEEE Std 802.3-2002 is
supported by the MC92603and MC92604 Gigabit Ethernet transceivers. Details for protocol and electrical
characteristics are available in the standard.
The MC92603/4 chip MDIO interface consists of 1 enable input, 3 or 4 address inputs, one clock input, and
one bidirectional data signal.
Some users may desire to use the MDIO interface, others may not. If the MDIO interface is to be used then
the MD_ENABLE input must be tied high. The MDIO interface is available whether COMPAT is enabled
or not. On power-up the MC92603/4 will always assume the default configuration defined by the pins of the
device. The configuration can then be changed via the MDIO interface regardless of the application
operating mode. If MDIO is not used (MD_ENABLE is low) The MC92603/4 will operate in the default
configuration.
The MDIO interface is a multidrop serial interface and each part must have a unique PHY Address. In the
MC92603 each channel is addressed separately. The base address to each transceiver must be mod 4. This
address is read from three input ports that must be externally pulled up or pulled down to furnish a unique
address for each part connected to a MDIO bus. The two least significant bits of the 5 bit address, are used
