USB Interface 
DP  B  32  USB 2.0 data positive pin. 
DM  B  31  USB 2.0 data negative pin. 
DPRS  B  36  USB 1.1 data positive pin. Please connect to DP through a 39ohm 
(+/-1%) serial resistor. 
DMRS  B  35  USB 1.1 data negative pin. Please connect to DM through a 39ohm 
(+/-1%) serial resistor. 
VBUS  I5/PD/S  10  VBUS pin input. Please connect to USB bus power. 
XIN12M  I3  26  12Mhz crystal or oscillator clock input. This clock is needed for USB 
PHY transceiver to operate. The recommended operating frequency 
range is 12.000800Mhz ~12.004800Mhz. 
XOUT12M O3 27 12Mhz crystal or oscillator clock output. 
RREF  I  30  For USB PHY’s internal biasing. Please connect to AGND through a 
12.1Kohm (+/-1%) resistor. 
RPU  I  34  For USB PHY’s internal biasing. Please connect to AVDD3 (3.3V) 
through a 1.5Kohm (+/-5%) resistor. 
Station Management Interface 
MDC  O2  121  Station Management Data Clock output. The timing reference for 
MDIO. All data transfers on MDIO are synchronized to the rising edge 
of this clock. The frequency of MDC is 1.5MHz. 
MDIO  B2/PU  120  Station Management Data Input/Output. Serial data input/output 
transfers from/to the PHYs. The transfer protocol conforms to the 
IEEE 802.3u MII spec. 
MDINT  I2/PU  117  Station Management Interrupt input. 
MII Interface 
RX_CLK  I2  104  Receive Clock. RX_CLK is received from PHY to 
p
rovide timing 
reference for the transfer of RXD [7:0], RX_DV, and RX_ER signals 
on receive direction of MII interface. 
RXD [3:0] 
I2 110, 109, 
108, 107 
Receive Data. RXD [3:0] is driven synchronously with respect to 
RX_CLK by PHY. 
RX_DV  I2  105  Receive Data Valid. RX_DV is driven synchronously with respect to 
RX_CLK by PHY. It is asserted high when valid data is present on 
RXD [3:0]. 
RX_ER  I2  106  Receive Error. RX_ER is driven synchronously with respect to 
RX_CLK by PHY. It is asserted high for one or more RX_CLK 
periods to indicate to the MAC that an error has detected. 
COL  I2  116  Collision Detected. COL is driven high by PHY when the collision is 
detected.
