Pin Function
The PHY Address, PHYAD[2:0], is latched at power-up / reset and is configurable to
any value from 1 to 7. Each PHY address bit is configured as follows:
Pull-up = 1
Pull-down = 0
PHY Address bits [4:3] are always set to ‘00’.
The MODE[3:0] strap-in pins are latched at power-up / reset and are defined as
follows:
MODE[3:0]

CLK125_EN is latched at power-up / reset and is defined as follows:
Pull-up = Enable 125MHz Clock Output
Pull-down = Disable 125MHz Clock Output
Pin 55 (CLK125_NDO) provides the 125MHz reference clock output option for use by
the MAC.
LED_MODE is latched at power-up / reset and is defined as follows:
Pull-up = Single LED Mode
Pull-down = Tri-color Dual LED Mode
Note:
1. I/O = Bi-directional.
Pin strap-ins are latched during power-up or reset. In some systems, the MAC receive input pins may be driven during
power-up or reset, and consequently cause the PHY strap-in pins on the GMII/MII signals to be latched to the incorrect
configuration. In this case, it is recommended to add external pull-ups/pull-downs on the PHY strap-in pins to ensure
the PHY is configured to the correct pin strap-in mode.
