14.4 Ethernet PHY Control and Status Registers
This section details the various LAN9311/LAN9311i Ethernet PHY control and status registers. The
LAN9311/LAN9311i contains three PHY’s: Port 1 PHY, Port 2 PHY and a Virtual PHY. All PHY registers
follow the IEEE 802.3 (clause 22.2.4) specified MII management register set. All functionality and bit
definitions comply with these standards. The IEEE 802.3 specified register index (in decimal) is
included with each register definition, allowing for addressing of these registers via the MII serial
management protocol. For additional information on the MII management protocol, refer to the IEEE
802.3 Specification.
Each individual PHY is assigned a unique PHY address as detailed in Section 7.1.1, "PHY
Addressing," on page 82.
14.4.1 Virtual PHY Registers
The Virtual PHY provides a basic MII management interface for communication with the Host MAC for
connection to the Host as if it was attached to a single port PHY. The Virtual PHY registers differ from
the Port 1 & 2 PHY registers in that they are addressable via the memory map, as described in
Table 14.1, as well as serially. These modes of access are described in Section 14.2.8, "Virtual PHY,"
on page 246.
Because the Virtual PHY registers are also memory mapped, their definitions have been included in
the System Control and Status Registers Section 14.2.8, "Virtual PHY," on page 246. A list of the Virtual
PHY MII addressable registers and their corresponding register index numbers is also included in
Table 14.4.
Note: When serially accessed, the Virtual PHY registers are only 16-bits wide, as is standard for MII
management of PHY’s.
14.4.2 Port 1 & 2 PHY Registers
The Port 1 and Port 2 PHY’s are comparable in functionality and have an identical set of non-memory
mapped registers. The Port 1 and Port 2 PHY registers are not memory mapped. These registers are
indirectly accessed through the Host MAC MII Access Register (HMAC_MII_ACC) and Host MAC MII
Data Register (HMAC_MII_DATA) registers in the Host MAC via the MII serial management protocol
specified in IEEE 802.3 clause 22. Because the Port 1 & 2 PHY registers are functionally identical,
their register descriptions have been consolidated. A lowercase “x” has been appended to the end of
each PHY register name in this section, where “x” should be replaced with “1” or “2” for the Port 1
PHY or the Port 2 PHY registers respectively. A list of the Port 1 & 2 PHY MII addressable registers
and their corresponding register index numbers is included in Table 14.7. Each individual PHY is
assigned a unique PHY address as detailed in Section 7.1.1, "PHY Addressing," on page 82.
