KSZ8081RNA/RND
3.2.2.2 RMII – 50 MHz Clock Mode
The KSZ8081RND is configured to RMII – 50 MHz clock mode after it is powered up or hardware reset with the follow-
ing:
• An external 50 MHz clock source (oscillator) connected to XI (Pin 8)
The KSZ8081RNA can optionally be configured to RMII – 50 MHz clock mode after it is powered up or hardware reset
and software programmed with the following:
• An external 50 MHz clock source (oscillator) connected to XI (Pin 8)
• Register 1Fh, Bit [7] programmed to ‘1’ to select RMII – 50 MHz clock mode
