9(1)

RX

RX, W1, and din input of the serial port.

10(1)

TX

TX, W1, and dout output of the serial port.

11

GND

System ground.

12

MD

Mode selection pin.

13

RST

Reset input, active low. Proper external reset is a must.

14

SE

Link status LED control line.

15

SR

Dual-function red status LED control line.

16

SG

Dual-function green status LED control line.

17

RX–

Ethernet port, negative line of the differential input signal pair.

18

RX+

Ethernet port, positive line of the differential input signal pair.

19

TX–

Ethernet port, negative line of the differential output signal pair.

20

TX+

Ethernet port, positive line of the differential output signal pair.

21

AVCC

"Clean" power output for magnetics circuitry.

22

VCC

Positive power input, 3.3V nominal, ±5%, max. current consumption 260mA.

  1. This line is 5V-tolerant and can be interfaced to 5V CMOS devices directly.
  2. This line can serve as the RTS/Wout/cout line of a serial port (provided that this does not interfere with any other function).
  3. This line can serve as the CTS/W0&1in/cin line of a serial port (provided that this does not interfere with any other function).
