TXC_1
I
Transmit Clock Port 1
This is the transmit clock input for port #1. In standard 10 Mbit/sec Serial Mode, this
is a 10 Mhz, 50% duty cycle transmit clock used to synchronize the transmit data from
port #1 to the encoder. In this mode, transmit data appears serially on the TXD0_1
output and all transitions of transmit data and the TXEN_1 output occur from the
falling edge of the clock. In MII mode, this is a 2.5/25 Mhz, 50% duty cycle clock, and
the transmit data appears on the TXD0_1 through TXD3_1 outputs. In this mode
transitions of transmit data and the TXEN_1 output occur from the rising edge of the
clock.

TXC_2
I
Transmit Clock Port 2
This is the transmit clock input for port #2. In standard 10 Mbit/sec Serial Mode, this
is a 10 Mhz, 50% duty cycle transmit clock used to synchronize the transmit data from
port #2 to the encoder. In this mode, transmit data appears serially on the TXD0_2
output and all transitions of transmit data and the TXEN_2 output occur from the
falling edge of the clock. In MII mode, this is a 2.5/25 Mhz, 50% duty cycle clock, and
the transmit data appears on the TXD0_2 through TXD3_2 outputs. In this mode
transitions of transmit data and the TXEN_2 output occur from the rising edge of the
clock.

TXC_3
I
Transmit Clock Port 3
This is the transmit clock input for port #3. In standard 10 Mbit/sec Serial Mode, this
is a 10 Mhz, 50% duty cycle transmit clock used to synchronize the transmit data from
port #3 to the encoder. In this mode, transmit data appears serially on the TXD0_3
output and all transitions of transmit data and the TXEN_3 output occur from the
falling edge of the clock. In MII mode, this is a 2.5/25 Mhz, 50% duty cycle clock, and
the transmit data appears on the TXD0_3 through TXD3_3 outputs. In this mode
transitions of transmit data and the TXEN_3 output occur from the rising edge of the
clock.
197
TXC_4
I
Transmit Clock Port 4
This is the transmit clock input for port #4. In standard 10 Mbit/sec Serial Mode, this
is a 10 Mhz, 50% duty cycle transmit clock used to synchronize the transmit data from
port #1 to the encoder. In this mode, transmit data appears serially on the TXD0_4
output and all transitions of transmit data and the TXEN_4 output occur from the
falling edge of the clock. In MII mode, this is a 2.5/25 Mhz, 50% duty cycle clock, and
the transmit data appears on the TXD0_4 through TXD3_4 outputs. In this mode
transitions of transmit data and the TXEN_4 output occur from the rising edge of the
clock.

TXD[3:0]_1
O
Transmit Data Port 1
In standard 10 Mbit/sec Serial Mode, TXD0_1 is the serial transmit data output from
port #1 to the encoder. In MII mode, these outputs drive a nibble of transmit data
every leading edge of the TXC_1 clock from port #1 to the encoder.

TXD[3:0]_2
O
Transmit Data Port 2
In standard 10 Mbit/sec Serial Mode, TXD0_2 is the serial transmit data output from
port #2 to the encoder. In MII mode, these outputs drive a nibble of transmit data
every leading edge of the TXC_2 clock from port #2 to the encoder.

Transmit Data Port 3
In standard 10 Mbit/sec Serial Mode, TXD0_3 is the serial transmit data output from
port #3 to the encoder. In MII mode, these outputs drive a nibble of transmit data
every leading edge of the TXC_3 clock from port #3 to the encoder.
