5.5.4 RMII INTERFACE TIMING
5.5.4.1 RMII Timing (REF_CLK Out Mode)
The 50MHz REF_CLK OUT timing applies to the case when nINTSEL is pulled-low. In this mode, a 25MHz crystal or
clock oscillator must be input on the XTAL1/CLKIN and XTAL2 pins. For more information on REF_CLK Out Mode, see
Section 3.7.4.2, REF_CLK Out Mode.
