Figure 13: MDI Frame Structure
PRE (Preamble)
At the beginning of each MDI transaction, the external host shall send a sequence of 32 contiguous
logic “1” bits on the MDIO signal so the INT5130 can establish synchronization. The INT5130
needs to observe this 32 bit sequence on the MII_MDIO signal before it responds to any
transaction.
ST (Start of Frame)
Indicated by a “01” pattern.
OP (Operation Code)
“10” indicates a READ. “01” indicates a WRITE.
PHYAD (PHY Address)
The PHY Address is 5 bits, allowing up the 32 unique PHY addresses. The INT5130 will respond to
PHY addresses indicated by 0bXX000. The “XX” bits of the PHY address are controlled by the
INT5130 interface pins MDI_ADRSEL(0:1). This allows the designer to assign the INT5130 to one
of 4 unique PHY addresses.
REGAD (Register Address)
The Register Address is 5 bits and is used to index the maximum of 32 individual registers in the
MDI address space. The INT5130 only implements the two mandated MII registers. 0b00000 will
index the MII Control Register and 0b00001 will index the MII Status Register.
TA (Turnaround)
The turnaround time is a 2 bit time spacing between the Register Address field and the Data field to
avoid contention during a read transaction.
For reads, both the external host and the INT5130 will remain in tri-state for the first bit time. The
INT5130 will drive a “0” during the second bit time.
