8.2.25 RMII Receive Timing
Note: Per the RMII Specification, output delays assume a 25pF load.
Note: CRS_DV is asserted asynchronously in order to minimize latency of control signals through the Phy. CRS_DV may
toggle synchronously at the end of the packet to indicate CRS deassertion.
Note: RX_DV is synchronous to X1. While not part of the RMII specification, this signal is provided to simplify recovery of
receive data.
Note: CRS ON delay is measured from the first bit of the JK symbol on the PMD Input Pair to initial assertion of CRS_DV.
Note: CRS OFF delay is measured from the first bit of the TR symbol on the PMD Input Pair to initial de-assertion of
CRS_DV.
Note: Receive Latency is measured from the first bit of the symbol pair on the PMD Input Pair. Typical values are with the
Elasticity Buffer set to the default value (01).
