13.3 Ethernet PHY Control and Status Registers
This section details the various Ethernet PHY control and status registers. The device 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 96.
13.3.1 Virtual PHY Registers
The Virtual PHY provides a basic MII management interface for communication with an standard
external MAC 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 13.2, as
well as serially. These modes of access are described in Section 13.2.6, "Virtual PHY," on page 181.
Because the Virtual PHY registers are also memory mapped, their definitions have been included in
the System Control and Status Registers Section 13.2.6, "Virtual PHY," on page 181. A list of the Virtual
PHY MII addressable registers and their corresponding register index numbers is also included in
Table 13.5.
Note: When serially accessed, the Virtual PHY registers are only 16-bits wide, as is standard for MII
management of PHY’s.
13.3.2 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 PHY Management Interface Access Register (PMI_ACCESS) and PHY
Management Interface Data Register (PMI_DATA) registers (in MAC or PHY I²C modes only) or
through the MII management pins (in MAC or PHY SMI modes only) via the MII serial management
protocol specified in IEEE 802.3 clause 22. See Section 2.3, "Modes of Operation," on page 19 for a
details on the various device modes. 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 13.8. Each individual PHY is
assigned a unique PHY address as detailed in Section 7.1.1, "PHY Addressing," on page 96.
