2.1 Pin List
Note: The pin names for the twisted pair pins shown above apply to a normal connection. If HP Auto-
MDIX is enabled and a reverse connection is detected, or a reverse connection is manually
selected, the input pins become outputs, and vice-versa, as indicated in the descriptions.

PINS DESCRIPTION
Host Data D[15:0] VIS/VO8 16 Bi-directional data port.
Host Address A[7:1] VIS 7 7-bit Address Port. Used to select Internal CSR’s and
TX and RX FIFOs.
Read Strobe nRD VIS 1 Active low strobe to indicate a read cycle.
Write Strobe nWR VIS 1 Active low strobe to indicate a write cycle. This signal,
qualified with nCS, is also used to wakeup the
LAN9221/LAN9221i when it is in a reduced power
state.
Chip Select nCS VIS 1 Active low signal used to qualify read and write
operations. This signal qualified with nWR is also used
to wakeup the LAN9221/LAN9221i when it is in a
reduced power state.
Interrupt
Request
IRQ VO8/
VOD8
1 Programmable Interrupt request. Programmable
polarity, source and buffer types.
FIFO Select FIFO_SEL VIS 1 When driven high all accesses to the
LAN9221/LAN9221i are to the RX or TX Data FIFOs.
In this mode, the A[7:3] upper address inputs are
ignored.
