Strapping Options – KSZ8081RNB
The strap-in pins are latched at the de-assertion of reset. In some systems, the MAC RMII receive input pins may drive
high/low during power-up or reset, and consequently cause the PHY strap-in pins on the RMII signals to be latched to
unintended high/low states. In this case, external pull-ups (4.7kΩ) or pull-downs (1.0kΩ) should be added on these PHY
strap-in pins to ensure that the intended values are strapped-in correctly.

PHYAD[2:0] is latched at de-assertion of reset and is configurable to any value from 0
to 7 with PHY Address 1 as the default value.
PHY Address 0 is assigned by default as the broadcast PHY address, but it can be
assigned as a unique PHY address after pulling the B-CAST_OFF strapping pin high
or writing a ‘1’ to Register 16h, Bit [9].
PHY Address bits [4:3] are set to 00 by default.

000, 010 – 100, 110, 111 Reserved – not used
20 ISO Ipd/O
Isolate mode
Pull-up = Enable
Pull-down (default) = Disable
At the de-assertion of reset, this pin value is latched into Register 0h, Bit [10].
31 SPEED Ipu/O
Speed mode
Pull-up (default) = 100Mbps
Pull-down = 10Mbps
At the de-assertion of reset, this pin value is latched into Register 0h, Bit [13] as the
speed select, and also is latched into Register 4h (auto-negotiation advertisement) as
the speed capability support.
16 DUPLEX Ipu/O
Duplex mode
Pull-up (default) = Half-duplex
Pull-down = Full-duplex
At the de-assertion of reset, this pin value is latched into Register 0h, Bit [8].
30 NWAYEN Ipu/O
Nway auto-negotiation enable
Pull-up (default) = Enable auto-negotiation
Pull-down = Disable auto-negotiation
At the de-assertion of reset, this pin value is latched into Register 0h, Bit [12].
19 B-CAST_OFF Ipd/O
Broadcast off – for PHY Address 0
Pull-up = PHY Address 0 is set as an unique PHY address
Pull-down (default) = PHY Address 0 is set as a broadcast PHY address
At the de-assertion of reset, this pin value is latched by the chip.
21 NAND_Tree# Ipu/Opu
NAND tree mode
Pull-up (default) = Disable
Pull-down = Enable
At the de-assertion of reset, this pin value is latched by the chip.
Note:
9. Ipu/O = Input with internal pull-up (see Electrical Characteristics for value) during power-up/reset; output pin otherwise.
Ipd/O = Input with internal pull-down (see Electrical Characteristics for value) during power-up/reset; output pin otherwise.
Ipu/Opu = Input with internal pull-up (see Electrical Characteristics for value) and output with internal pull-up (see Electrical Characteristics for
value).
