    MA922 Hardware Design Manual Resistors R7–R12 should be placed near the module. Resistors R1–R6 should be placed near the Ethernet PHY. The value of R1–R15 varies with the selection of PHY. RGMII_INT and RGMII_RST_N are always 1.8 V power domain. A voltage-level translator should be used when the module I/O level does not match with PHY.
