 AX88772 
USB to 10/100 Fast Ethernet/HomePNA Controller 
CRS  I2  115  Carrier Sense. CRS is asserted high asynchronously 
b
y the PHY when 
either transmit or receive medium is non-idle. 
TX_CLK  I2  102  Transmit Clock. TX_CLK is received from PHY to provide timing 
reference for the transfer of TXD [3:0], TX_EN and TX_ER signals 
on transmit direction of MII interface. 
TXD [3:0]  O2  82, 83, 84, 
85 
Transmit Data. TXD [3:0] is transitioned synchronously with respect 
to the rising edge of TX_CLK. 
TX_EN  O2  89  Transmit Enable. TX_EN is transitioned synchronously with respect 
to the rising edge of TX_CLK. TX_EN is asserted high to indicate a
valid TXD [3:0]. 
TX_ER  O2  88  Transmit Coding Error. TX_ER is transitioned synchronously with 
respect to the rising edge of TX_CLK. When asserted high for one or 
more TX_CLK, the PHY shall emit one or more code-groups that are 
not part of the valid data or delimiter set somewhere in the frame 
being transmitted. 
Serial EEPROM Interface 
EECK  O5  4  EEPROM Clock. EECK is an output clock to EEPROM to provide 
timing reference for the transfer of EECS, EEDI, and EEDO signals.
EECS  O5  5  EEPROM Chip Select. EECS is asserted high synchronously with 
respect to rising edge of EECK as chip select signal. 
EEDI  O5  6  EEPROM Data In. EEDI is the serial output data to EEPROM’s data 
input pin and is synchronous with respect to the rising edge of EECK.
EEDO  I5/PD  9  EEPROM Data Out. EEDO is the serial input data from EEPROM’s 
data output pin. 
Ethernet Phy Interface 
XIN25M  I  58  25Mhz crystal or oscillator clock input. This clock is needed for the 
embedded 10/100 Ethernet PHY to operate. The recommended 
reference frequency is 25Mhz +/-0.005%. 
This input pin is only 2.5V tolerant and should not apply 3.3V clock 
signal directly to this pin if an external oscillator is used. 
XOUT25M  O  59  25Mhz crystal or oscillator clock output. This output pin is 2.5V 
tolerant. 
RSTPB  I  65  Reset input of embedded Ethernet PHY: RSTPB is an active low input 
used for resetting internal Ethernet PHY. When internal Ethernet 
PHY is used, user can connect this pin to an external RC circuit, 
which gets pulled-up to AVDDK (2.5V). The reset period from 50ms 
to 150ms is recommended. 
RXIP  I  52  Receive data input positive pin for both 10BASE-T and 
100BASE-TX. 
RXIN  I  51  Receive data input negative pin for both 10BASE-T and 
100BASE-TX. 
TXOP  O  62  Transmit data output positive pin for both 10BASE-T and 100 
BASE-TX 
TXON  O  61  Transmit data output negative pin for both 10BASE-T and 100 
BASE-TX 
IBREF  B  56  For Ethernet PHY’s internal biasing. Please connect to GND through 
a 12.3Kohm resistor. 
RX_LED  O3  92  Receive activity LED indicator. This pin drives low and high in turn 
(blinking) when Ethernet PHY is receiving and drives high when not 
receiving. 
COL_LED  O3  93  Collision detected LED indicator. This pin drives low when the 
Ethernet PHY detects collision and drives high when no collision. 
LINK_LED  O3  94  Link status LED indicator. This pin drives low continuously when the 
Ethernet link is up and drives low and high in turn (blinking) when 
Ethernet PHY is in receiving or transmitting state. 
FDX_LED  O3  95  Full-Duplex LED indicator. This pin drives low when the Ethernet 
PHY is in full-duplex mode and drives high when in half duplex 
mode.
