Serial Management Interface (SMI)

The Serial Management Interface is used to control the device and obtain its status. This interface

supports registers 0 through 6 as required by Clause 22 of the 802.3 standard, as well as “vendor-

specific” registers 16 to 31 allowed by the specification. Non-supported registers (such as 7 to 15) will

be read as hexadecimal “FFFF”. Device registers are detailed in Chapter 4, "Register Descriptions,"

on page 50.

At the system level, SMI provides 2 signals: MDIO and MDC. The MDC signal is an aperiodic clock

provided by the station management controller (SMC). MDIO is a bi-directional data SMI input/output

signal that receives serial data (commands) from the controller SMC and sends serial data (status) to

the SMC. The minimum time between edges of the MDC is 160 ns. There is no maximum time

between edges. The minimum cycle time (time between two consecutive rising or two consecutive

falling edges) is 400 ns. These modest timing requirements allow this interface to be easily driven by

the I/O port of a microcontroller.

The data on the MDIO line is latched on the rising edge of the MDC. The frame structure and timing

of the data is shown in Figure 3.5 and Figure 3.6. The timing relationships of the MDIO signals are

further described in Section 5.5.6, "SMI Timing," on page 76.
