nPME VO8 When in RMII mode, this pin may be used alterna-
tively as an active low Power Management Event 
(PME) output.
Note: The nPME signal can be optionally con-
figured to output on the LED1, LED2, or 
RXD2/nPME/nINTSEL

Select Configu-
ration Strap
RMIISEL VIS
(PD)
This configuration strap selects the MII or RMII 
mode of operation. When strapped low to VSS, MII 
mode is selected. When strapped high to VDDIO 
RMII mode is selected.
See Note 1 for more information on configuration 
straps. 
Note: Refer to Section 3.7.3, "RMIISEL:
