Receive Data Valid.  
This pin’s signal is asserted high when received data is present on the  
RXD[3:0] lines. The signal is de-asserted at the end of the packet. The  
signal is valid on the rising edge of the RXC.  
This pin should be pulled low when operating in MII mode.  
0: MII mode  
1: RMII mode  
An internal weakly pulled low resistor sets this to the default of MII  
mode. It is possible to use an external 4.7Kpulled high resistor to  
enable RMII mode.  
After power on, the pin operates as the Receive Data Valid pin.

RTL8201E(L)  
Datasheet  
8.1. MII and Management Interface  
8.1.1. Data Transition  
To set the RTL8201E(L) for MII mode operation, pull the COL/SNI pin low.  
The MII (Media Independent Interface) is an 18-signal interface (as described in IEEE 802.3u) supplying  
a standard interface between the PHY and MAC layer. This interface operates at two frequencies –  
25MHz and 2.5MHz – to support 100Mbps/10Mbps bandwidth for both transmit and receive functions.  
Transmission  
The MAC asserts the TXEN signal. It then changes byte data into 4-bit nibbles and passes them to the  
PHY via TXD[3:0]. The PHY will sample TXD[3:0] synchronously with TXC – the transmit clock signal  
supplied by PHY – during the interval TXEN is asserted.  
Reception  
The PHY asserts the RXEN signal. It passes the received nibble data RXD[3:0] clocked by RXC. CRS  
and COL signals are used for collision detection and handling.  
In 100Base-TX mode, when the decoded signal in 5B is not IDLE, the CRS signal will assert. When 5B is  
recognized as IDLE it will be de-asserted. In 10Base-T mode, CRS will assert when the 10M preamble  
has been confirmed and will be de-asserted when the IDLE pattern has been confirmed.  
The RXDV signal will be asserted when decoded 5B are /J/K/ and will be de-asserted if the 5B are /T/R/  
or IDLE in 100Mbps mode. In 10Mbps mode, the RXDV signal is the same as the CRS signal.  
The RXER (Receive Error) signal will be asserted if any 5B decode errors occur, e.g., an invalid J/K,  
invalid T/R, or invalid symbol. This pin will go high for one or more clock periods to indicate to the  
reconciliation sublayer that an error was detected somewhere in the frame.  
Note: The RTL8201E(L) does not use a TXER signal. This does not affect the transmit function.

8.1.2. Serial Management  
The MAC layer device can use the MDC/MDIO management interface to control a maximum of 4  
RTL8201E(L) devices, configured with different PHY addresses (00b to 11b).  
During a hardware reset, the logic levels of pins 34/24 and 35/25 are latched into the RTL8201E(L) to be  
set as the PHY address for management communication via the serial interface. The read and write frame  
structure for the management interface is illustrated in Figure 4 and Figure 5.

PHY Address.  
Up to 4 PHYs can be connected to one MAC. This 2-bit field selects which PHY the frame is directed to.  
Register Address.  
This is a 5-bit field that sets which of the 32 registers of the PHY this operation refers to.  
Turnaround.  
This is a 2-bit-time spacing between the register address and the data field of a frame to avoid contention  
during a read transaction. For a read transaction, both the STA and the PHY remain in a high-impedance  
state for the first bit time of the turnaround. The PHY drives a zero bit during the second bit time of the  
turnaround of a read transaction.

Datasheet  
8.1.3. Interrupt (RTL8201EL-VB Only)  
Whenever there is a status change on the media that the RTL8201EL-VB detected, the RTL8201EL-VB  
will drive the interrupt pin (INTB) low to issue an interrupt event. The MAC senses the status change and  
accesses the registers through the MDC/MDIO interface in response.  
Once these status registers have been read by MAC through the MDC/MDIO, the INTB is de-asserted.  
The RTL8201EL-VB interrupt function removes the need for continuous polling through the  
MDC/MDIO management interface.  
8.2. Auto-Negotiation and Parallel Detection  
The RTL8201E(L) supports IEEE 802.3u clause 28 Auto-negotiation for operation with other transceivers  
supporting auto-negotiation. The RTL8201E(L) can auto-detect the link partner’s abilities and determine  
the highest speed/duplex configuration possible between the two devices. If the link partner does not  
support auto-negotiation, then the RTL8201E(L) will enable half duplex mode and enter parallel  
detection mode. The RTL8201E(L) will default to transmitting FLP (Fast Link Pulse) and wait for the  
link partner to respond. If the RTL8201E(L) receives a FLP, then the auto-negotiation process will go on.  
If it receives NLP (Normal Link Pulse), then the RTL8201E(L) will change to 10Mbps and half duplex  
mode. If it receives a 100Mbps IDLE pattern, it will change to 100Mbps and half duplex mode.

8.3. Flow Control Support  
The RTL8201E(L) supports flow control indications. The MAC can program the MII register to indicate  
to the PHY that flow control is supported. When the MAC supports the Flow Control mechanism, setting  
bit 10 of the ANAR register using the MDC/MDIO SNI interface, then the RTL8201E(L) will add the  
ability to its NWay ability. If the Link partner also supports Flow Control, then the RTL8201E(L) can  
recognize the Link partner’s NWay ability by examining bit 10 of ANLPAR (register 5).

8.4. Hardware Configuration and Auto-Negotiation

25 shows the various pins and their settings.

CRS/RPTR/  
CRS_DV  
Pull high to set the RTL8201E(L) into Repeater Mode.  
This pin is pulled low by default (see 8.9 Repeater Mode Operation, page 24).  
COL/SNI  
Pull low to set the RTL8201E(L) into MII/RMII Mode operation, which is the Default Mode for the  
RTL8201E(L). This pin pulled high will set the RTL8201E(L) into SNI mode operation. When set to SNI  
mode, the RTL8201E(L) will operate at 10Mbps (see section 8.6 Serial Network Interface, page 22).  
8.5. LED and PHY Address Configuration  
In order to reduce the pin count on the RTL8201E(L), the LED pins are duplexed with the PHY address  
pins. The external combinations required for strapping and LED usage must be considered in order to  
avoid contention. Specifically, when the LED outputs are used to drive LEDs directly, the active state of  
each output driver is dependent on the logic level sampled by the corresponding PHYAD input upon  
power-up/reset. For example, as Figure 6 (left-side) shows, if a given PHYAD input is resistively pulled  
high, then the corresponding output will be configured as an active low driver. On the right side, we can  
see that if a given PHYAD input is resistively pulled low then the corresponding output will be  
configured as an active high driver. The PHY address configuration pins should not be connected to GND  
or VCC directly, but must be pulled high or low through a resistor (e.g., 4.7K). If no LED indications  
are needed, the components of the LED path (LED+510) can be removed.

8.6. Serial Network Interface  
The RTL8201E(L) also supports the traditional 7-wire serial interface to operate with legacy MACs or  
embedded systems. To setup for this mode of operation, pull the COL/SNI pin high. In this mode, the  
RTL8201E(L) will set the default operation to 10Mbps and half-duplex mode. This interface consists of a  
10Mbps transmit and receive clock generated by PHY, 10Mbps transmit and receive serial data, transmit  
enable, collision detect, and carry sense signals.  
8.7. Power Down, Link Down, and Power Saving Modes  
Three types of Power Saving mode operation are supported. This section describes how to implement  
each mode through software.  
Table 26. Power Saving Mode Pin Settings  
Mode  
Description  
Analog Off  
Setting bit 11 of register 17 to 1 will put the RTL8201E(L) into analog off state. In analog off state, the  
RTL8201E(L) will power down all analog functions such as transmit, receive, PLL, etc. However, the  
internal 25MHz crystal oscillator will not be powered down. Digital functions in this mode are still  
available which allows reacquisition of analog functions  
LDPS  
PWD  
Setting bit 12 of register 17 to 1 will put the RTL8201E(L) into LDPS (Link Down Power Saving) mode.  
In LDPS mode, the RTL8201E(L) will detect the link status to decide whether or not to turn off the  
transmit function. If the link is off, FLP or 100Mbps IDLE/10Mbps NLP will not be transmitted.  
However, some signals similar to NLP will be transmitted. Once the receiver detects leveled signals, it  
will stop the signal and transmit FLP or 100Mbps IDLE/10Mbps NLP again. This can cut power used by  
60%~80% when the link is down.  
Setting bit 11 of register 0 to 1 puts the RTL8201E(L) into power down mode. This is the maximum  
power saving mode while the RTL8201E(L) is still alive. In PWD mode, the RTL8201E(L) will turn off  
all analog/digital functions except the MDC/MDIO management interface. Therefore, if the  
RTL8201E(L) is put into PWD mode and the MAC wants to recall the PHY, it must create the  
MDC/MDIO timing by itself (this is done by software).

Datasheet  
8.8. Media Interface  
8.8.1. 100Base-TX Transmit and Receive Operation  
100Base-TX Transmit  
Transmit data in 4-bit nibbles (TXD[3:0]) clocked at 25MHz (TXC) is transformed into 5B symbol code  
(4B/5B encoding). Scrambling, serializing, and conversion to 125MHz, and NRZ to NRZI then takes  
place. After this process, the NRZI signal is passed to the MLT-3 encoder, then to the transmit line driver.  
The transmitter will first assert TXEN. Before transmitting the data pattern, it will send a /J/K/ symbol  
(Start-of-frame delimiter), the data symbol, and finally a /T/R/ symbol known as the End-Of-Frame  
delimiter. For better EMI performance, the seed of the scrambler is based on the PHY address. In a  
hub/switch environment, each RTL8201E(L) will have different scrambler seeds and so spread the output  
of the MLT-3 signals.  
100Base-TX Receive  
The received signal is compensated by the adaptive equalizer to make up for signal loss due to cable  
attenuation and Inter Symbol Interference (ISI). Baseline Wander Correction monitors the process and  
dynamically applies corrections to the process of signal equalization. The Phase Locked Loop (PLL) then  
recovers the timing information from the signals and from the receive clock. With this, the received signal  
is sampled to form NRZI (Non-Return-to-Zero Inverted) data. The next steps are the NRZI to NRZ (Non-  
Return-to-Zero) process, unscrambling of the data, serial to parallel and 5B to 4B conversion, and passing  
of the 4B nibble to the MII interface.  
8.8.2. 100Base-FX Fiber Transmit and Receive Operation  
The RTL8201E(L) can be configured to 100Base-FX mode via hardware configuration. The hardware  
100Base-FX setting takes priority over NWay settings. A scrambler is not required in 100Base-FX.  
100Base-FX Transmit  
Di-bits of TXD are processed as 100Base-TX except without a scrambler before the NRZI stage. Instead  
of converting to MLT-3 signals, as in 100Base-TX, the serial data stream is driven out as NRZI PECL  
signals, which enter the fiber transceiver in differential-pair form.  
100Base-FX Receive  
The signal is received through PECL receiver inputs from the fiber transceiver and directly passed to the  
clock recovery circuit for data/clock recovery. The scrambler/de-scrambler is bypassed in 100Base-FX.

RTL8201E(L)  
Datasheet  
8.8.3. 10Base-T Transmit and Receive Operation  
10Base-T Transmit  
Transmit data in 4-bit nibbles (TXD[3:0]) clocked at 2.5MHz (TXC) is first fed to a parallel-to-serial  
converter, then the 10Mbps NRZ signal is sent to a Manchester encoder. The Manchester encoder  
converts the 10Mbps NRZ data into a Manchester Encoded data stream for the TP transmitter and adds a  
Start of Idle pulse (SOI) at the end of the packet as specified in IEEE 802.3. Finally, the encoded data  
stream is shaped by a band-limited filter embedded in the RTL8201E(L) and then transmitted.  
10Base-T Receive  
In 10Base-T receive mode, the Manchester decoder in the RTL8201E(L) converts the Manchester  
encoded data stream into NRZ data by decoding the data and stripping off the SOI pulse. Then the serial  
NRZ data stream is converted to a parallel 4-bit nibble signal (RXD[0:3]).  
8.9. Repeater Mode Operation  
Setting bit 15 of register 17 to 1, or pulling the RPTR pin high, sets the RTL8201E(L) into repeater mode.  
In repeater mode, the RTL8201E(L) will assert CRS high only when receiving a packet. In NIC mode, the  
RTL8201E(L) will assert CRS high both when transmitting and receiving packets. If using the  
RTL8201E(L) in a NIC or switch application, set to the default mode. NIC/Switch mode is the default  
setting and has the RPTR pin pulled low, or bit 15 of register 17 is set to 0.  
8.10. Reset and Transmit Bias  
The RTL8201E(L) can be reset by pulling the PHYRSTB pin low for about 10ms, then pulling the pin  
high. It can also be reset by setting bit 15 of register 0 to 1, and then setting it back to 0. Reset will clear  
the registers and re-initialize them. The media interface will disconnect and restart the auto-  
negotiation/parallel detection process.  
The RSET pin must be pulled low by a 2.49Kresister with 1% accuracy to establish an accurate  
transmit bias. This will affect the signal quality of the transmit waveform. Keep its circuitry away from  
other clock traces and transmit/receive paths to avoid signal interference.

RTL8201E(L)  
Datasheet  
8.11. 3.3V Power Supply and Voltage Conversion Circuit  
The RTL8201E(L) is fabricated in a 0.11µm process. The core circuit needs to be powered by 1.2V,  
however, the digital IO and DAC circuits need a 3.3V power supply. Regulators are embedded in the  
RTL8201E(L) to convert 3.3V to 1.2V. An external 1.2V power supply is not suggested, as the internal  
regulators cannot be disabled, and two 1.2V power sources may conflict. As with many commercial  
voltage conversion devices, the 1.2V output pin (PWFBOUT) of this circuit requires the use of an output  
capacitor (0.1µF ceramic capacitor is recommended) as part of the device frequency compensation.  
The analog and digital ground planes should be as large and intact as possible. If the ground plane is large  
enough, the analog and digital grounds can be separated, which is the ideal configuration. However, if the  
total ground plane is not sufficiently large, partition of the ground plane is not a good idea. In this case,  
all the ground pins can be connected together to a larger single and intact ground plane.  
8.12. Far End Fault Indication  
The MII Reg.1.4 (Remote Fault) is the Far End Fault Indication (FEFI) bit when 100FX mode is enabled,  
and indicates when a FEFI has been detected. FEFI is an alternative in-band signaling method which is  
composed of 84 consecutive ‘1’s followed by one ‘0’. When the RTL8201E(L) detects this pattern three  
times, Reg.1.4 is set, which means the transmit path (the Remote side’s receive path) has a problem. On  
the other hand, if an incoming signal fails to cause a ‘Link OK’, the RTL8201E(L) will start sending this  
pattern, which in turn causes the remote side to detect a Far End Fault. This means that the receive path  
has a problem from the point of view of the RTL8201E(L). The FEFI mechanism is used only in  
100Base-FX mode.
