Ethernet Compliant Applications Modes
(COMPAT = High)
The following sections discuss Ethernet compliant applications modes as implemented by
the MC92603. Different Ethernet operations and protocols as described in the IEEE Std.
802.3-2002 specification [4], are also discussed.
3.7.1

Interface to Ethernet MAC

The operation of the transceivers in the Ethernet-compatible GMII and TBI modes and the
correlation of the port signal names to the names in the IEEE Std. 802.3-2002 specification
[4] are listed in the following two sections.
3.7.1.1

GMII Operation

Ethernet GMII mode is enabled by negating the TBIE input as low and asserting the
COMPAT input high. When in this mode, the receiver should be connected to a standard
Gigabit Ethernet MAC, as shown in Table 3-9.
