Ethernet: Enhanced Three-Speed Ethernet (eTSEC), MII Management
This section provides the AC and DC electrical characteristics for enhanced three-speed and MII
management.
9.1
Enhanced Three-Speed Ethernet Controller (eTSEC)
(10/100/1Gb Mbps) – GMII/MII/TBI/ RGMII/RTBI/RMII Electrical Characteristics
The electrical characteristics specified here apply to all gigabit media independent interface (GMII),
media independent interface (MII), ten-bit interface (TBI), reduced gigabit media independent interface
(RGMII), reduced ten-bit interface (RTBI), and reduced media independent interface (RMII) signals
except management data input/output (MDIO) and management data clock (MDC). The RGMII and
RTBI interfaces are defined for 2.5V, while the GMII, MII, RMII and TBI interfaces can be operated at 3.3
or 2.5V. Whether the GMII, MII, or TBI interface is operated at 3.3 or 2.5V, the timing is compliant with
the IEEE 802.3 standard. The RGMII and RTBI interfaces follow the Reduced Gigabit Media-Indepen-
dent Interface (RGMII) Specification Version 1.3 (12/10/2000). The RMII interface follows the RMII
Consortium RMII Specification Version 1.2 (3/20/1998). The electrical characteristics for MDIO and MDC
9.1.1
eTSEC DC Electrical Characteristics
All GMII, MII, TBI, RGMII, RMII and RTBI drivers and receivers comply with the DC parametric attributes
RGMII, RMII or RTBI receiver may exceed the potential of the receiver’s power supply (i.e., a GMII driver
powered from a 3.6-V supply driving V
OH into a GMII receiver powered from a 2.5V supply). Tolerance
for dissimilar GMII driver and receiver supply potentials is implicit in these specifications. The RGMII and
RTBI signals are based on a 2.5V CMOS interface voltage as defined by JEDEC EIA/JESD8-5.
Notes:
1. LVDD supports eTSECs 1 and 2.
2. TV
DD supports eTSECs 3 and 4.
