Management Registers. These signals are typically connected to the MDIO port of a MAC
device, either off-chip or to an internally integrated MAC core. For more information, see

N/A
Management clock (<= 2.5 MHz).
mdc
Input data signal for communication with
MDIO controller (for example, an Ethernet
MAC). Tie high if unused.
mdc
Output data signal for communication with
MDIO controller (for example, an Ethernet
MAC).
mdc
Tri-state control for MDIO signals; '0' signals
that the value on mdio_out should be asserted
onto the MDIO interface.
N/A
Physical Address of the PCS Management
register set. It is expected that this signal will be
tied off to a logical value.
