Freescale documentation is available from the sources listed on the back cover of this book; the document
order numbers are included in parentheses for ease in ordering:
Reference manuals—These books provide details about individual device implementations. The
MC92604DVB Dual GEt Design Verification Board User’s Guide (MC92604DVBUG) describes
how to use the design verification board and should be read in conjunction with this book, the
MC92604 Dual Gigabit Ethernet Transceiver Reference Manual (MC92604RM).
Addenda/errata to reference manuals—Because some devices have follow-on parts an addendum
provides any additional features and functionality changes. These addenda are intended for use
with the corresponding reference manuals.
Hardware specifications—Hardware specifications provide specific data regarding bus timing,
signal behavior, and AC, DC, and thermal characteristics, as well as other design considerations.
This manual contains all the hardware specifications for the MC92604.
Application notes—These short documents address specific design issues useful to programmers
and engineers working with Freescale devices.
White papers—These documents provide detail on a specific design platform and are useful to
programmers and engineers working on a specific product. The MC92610 3.125 Gbaud Reference
Design Platform (BR1570) describes the technical design process used in developing a high-speed
backplane reference design.
