KSZ8081MLX
10Base-T/100Base-TX
Physical Layer Transceiver
Revision 1.3
General Description
The KSZ8081MLX is a single-supply 10Base-T/
100Base-TX Ethernet physical-layer transceiver for
transmission and reception of data over standard CAT-5
unshielded twisted pair (UTP) cable.
The KSZ8081MLX is a highly-integrated, compact solution.
It reduces board cost and simplifies board layout by using
on-chip termination resistors for the differential pairs, by
integrating a low-noise regulator to supply the 1.2V core,
and by offering 1.8/2.5/3.3V digital I/O interface support.
The KSZ8081MLX offers the Media Independent Interface
(MII) for direct connection with MII-compliant Ethernet
MAC processors and switches.
The KSZ8081MLX provides diagnostic features to facilitate
system bring-up and debugging in production testing and
in product deployment. Parametric NAND tree support
enables fault detection between KSZ8081MLX I/Os and
®
the board. Micrel LinkMD TDR-based cable diagnostics
identify faulty copper cabling.
The KSZ8081MLX is available in the 48-pin, lead-free
LQFP package (see “Ordering Information”). Datasheets
and support documentation are available on website at:
www.micrel.com.

Strapping Options
The strap-in pins are latched at the de-assertion of reset. In some systems, the MAC MII receive input pins may drive
high/low during power-up or reset, and consequently cause the PHY strap-in pins on the MII signals to be latched to
unintended high/low states. In this case, external pull-ups (4.7kΩ) or pull-downs (1.0kΩ) should be added on these PHY
strap-in pins to ensure the intended values are strapped-in correctly.

KSZ8081MLX
Functional Description: 10Base-T/100Base-TX Transceiver
The KSZ8081MLX is an integrated single 3.3V supply Fast Ethernet transceiver. It is fully compliant with the IEEE 802.3
Specification, and reduces board cost and simplifies board layout by using on-chip termination resistors for the two
differential pairs and by integrating the regulator to supply the 1.2V core.
On the copper media side, the KSZ8081MLX supports 10Base-T and 100Base-TX for transmission and reception of data
over a standard CAT-5 unshielded twisted pair (UTP) cable, and HP Auto MDI/MDI-X for reliable detection of and
correction for straight-through and crossover cables.
On the MAC processor side, the KSZ8081MLX offers the Media Independent Interface (MII) for direct connection with MII
compliant Ethernet MAC processors and switches.
The MII management bus option gives the MAC processor complete access to the KSZ8081MLX control and status
registers. Additionally, an interrupt pin eliminates the need for the processor to poll for PHY status change.
100Base-TX Transmit
The 100Base-TX transmit function performs parallel-to-serial conversion, 4B/5B encoding, scrambling, NRZ-to-NRZI
conversion, and MLT3 encoding and transmission.
The circuitry starts with a parallel-to-serial conversion, which converts the MII data from the MAC into a 125MHz serial bit
stream. The data and control stream is then converted into 4B/5B coding and followed by a scrambler. The serialized data
is further converted from NRZ-to-NRZI format, and then transmitted in MLT3 current output. The output current is set by
an external 6.49kΩ 1% resistor for the 1:1 transformer ratio.
The output signal has a typical rise/fall time of 4ns and complies with the ANSI TP-PMD standard regarding amplitude
balance, overshoot, and timing jitter. The wave-shaped 10Base-T output is also incorporated into the 100Base-TX
transmitter.
100Base-TX Receive
The 100Base-TX receiver function performs adaptive equalization, DC restoration, MLT3-to-NRZI conversion, data and
clock recovery, NRZI-to-NRZ conversion, de-scrambling, 4B/5B decoding, and serial-to-parallel conversion.
The receiving side starts with the equalization filter to compensate for inter-symbol interference (ISI) over the twisted pair
cable. Because the amplitude loss and phase distortion is a function of the cable length, the equalizer must adjust its
characteristics to optimize performance. In this design, the variable equalizer makes an initial estimation based on
comparisons of incoming signal strength against some known cable characteristics, then tunes itself for optimization. This
is an ongoing process and self-adjusts against environmental changes such as temperature variations.
Next, the equalized signal goes through a DC-restoration and data-conversion block. The DC-restoration circuit
compensates for the effect of baseline wander and improves the dynamic range. The differential data-conversion circuit
converts MLT3 format back to NRZI. The slicing threshold is also adaptive.
The clock-recovery circuit extracts the 125MHz clock from the edges of the NRZI signal. This recovered clock is then used
to convert the NRZI signal into NRZ format. This signal is sent through the de-scrambler, then the 4B/5B decoder. Finally,
the NRZ serial data is converted to MII format and provided as the input data to the MAC.
Scrambler/De-Scrambler (100Base-TX Only)
The scrambler spreads the power spectrum of the transmitted signal to reduce electromagnetic interference (EMI) and
baseline wander. The de-scrambler recovers the scrambled signal.
10Base-T Transmit
The 10Base-T drivers are incorporated with the 100Base-TX drivers to allow for transmission using the same magnetic.
The drivers perform internal wave-shaping and pre-emphasis, and output 10Base-T signals with typical amplitude of 2.5V
peak. The 10Base-T signals have harmonic contents that are at least 27dB below the fundamental frequency when driven
by an all-ones Manchester-encoded signal.

KSZ8081MLX
10Base-T Receive
On the receive side, input buffer and level detecting squelch circuits are used. A differential input receiver circuit and a
phase-locked loop (PLL) performs the decoding function. The Manchester-encoded data stream is separated into clock
signal and NRZ data. A squelch circuit rejects signals with levels less than 400mV, or with short pulse widths, to prevent
noise at the RXP and RXM inputs from falsely triggering the decoder. When the input exceeds the squelch limit, the PLL
locks onto the incoming signal and the KSZ8081MLX decodes a data frame. The receive clock is kept active during idle
periods between data receptions.
SQE and Jabber Function (10Base-T Only)
In 10Base-T operation, a short pulse is put out on the COL pin after each frame is transmitted. This SQE test is needed to
test the 10Base-T transmit/receive path. If transmit enable (TXEN) is high for more than 20ms (jabbering), the 10Base-T
transmitter is disabled and COL is asserted high. If TXEN is then driven low for more than 250ms, the 10Base-T
transmitter is re-enabled and COL is de-asserted (returns to low).
PLL Clock Synthesizer
The KSZ8081MLX generates all internal clocks and all external clocks for system timing from an external 25MHz crystal,
oscillator, or reference clock.
Auto-Negotiation
The KSZ8081MLX conforms to the auto-negotiation protocol, defined in Clause 28 of the IEEE 802.3 Specification.
Auto-negotiation allows unshielded twisted pair (UTP) link partners to select the highest common mode of operation.
During auto-negotiation, link partners advertise capabilities across the UTP link to each other and then compare their own
capabilities with those they received from their link partners. The highest speed and duplex setting that is common to the
two link partners is selected as the mode of operation.
The following list shows the speed and duplex operation mode from highest to lowest priority.
•
Priority 1:
100Base-TX, full-duplex
•
Priority 2:
100Base-TX, half-duplex
•
Priority 3:
10Base-T, full-duplex
•
Priority 4:
10Base-T, half-duplex
If auto-negotiation is not supported or the KSZ8081MLX link partner is forced to bypass auto-negotiation, then the
KSZ8081MLX sets its operating mode by observing the signal at its receiver. This is known as parallel detection, and
allows the KSZ8081MLX to establish a link by listening for a fixed signal protocol in the absence of the auto-negotiation
advertisement protocol.
Auto-negotiation is enabled by either hardware pin strapping (NWAYEN, Pin 42) or software (Register 0h, Bit [12]).
By default, auto-negotiation is enabled after power-up or hardware reset. After that, auto-negotiation can be enabled or
disabled by Register 0h, Bit [12]. If auto-negotiation is disabled, the speed is set by Register 0h, Bit [13], and the duplex is
set by Register 0h, Bit [8].
The auto-negotiation link-up process is shown in Figure 1.

MII Interface
The Media Independent Interface (MII) is compliant with the IEEE 802.3 Specification. It provides a common interface
between MII PHYs and MACs, and has the following key characteristics:
•
Pin count is 15 pins (6 pins for data transmission, 7 pins for data reception, and 2 pins for carrier and collision
indication).
•
10Mbps and 100Mbps data rates are supported at both half- and full-duplex.
•
Data transmission and reception are independent and belong to separate signal groups.
•
Transmit data and receive data are each 4 bits wide, a nibble.
By default, the KSZ8081MLX is configured to MII mode after it is powered up or hardware reset with the following:
•
A 25MHz crystal connected to XI, XO (Pins 15, 14), or an external 25MHz clock source (oscillator) connected to XI.
•
The CONFIG[2:0] strapping pins (Pins 27, 41, 40) set to 000 (default setting).

Description
Transmit Clock
(2.5MHz for 10Mbps; 25MHz for 100Mbps)
Transmit Clock (TXC)
TXC is sourced by the PHY. It is a continuous clock that provides the timing reference for TXEN and TXD[3:0].
TXC is 2.5MHz for 10Mbps operation and 25MHz for 100Mbps operation.
Transmit Enable (TXEN)
TXEN indicates that the MAC is presenting nibbles on TXD[3:0] for transmission. It is asserted synchronously with the first
nibble of the preamble and remains asserted while all nibbles to be transmitted are presented on the MII. It is negated
before the first TXC following the final nibble of a frame.
TXEN transitions synchronously with respect to TXC.

Revision 1.3
Micrel, Inc.
KSZ8081MLX
Transmit Data[3:0] (TXD[3:0])
When TXEN is asserted, TXD[3:0] are the data nibbles accepted by the PHY for transmission. TXD[3:0] is 00 to indicate
idle when TXEN is de-asserted.
TXD[3:0] transitions synchronously with respect to TXC.
Receive Clock (RXC)
RXC provides the timing reference for RXDV, RXD[3:0], and RXER.
In 10Mbps mode, RXC is recovered from the line while the carrier is active. RXC is derived from the PHY’s reference
clock when the line is idle or the link is down.
In 100Mbps mode, RXC is continuously recovered from the line. If the link is down, RXC is derived from the PHY’s
reference clock.
RXC is 2.5MHz for 10Mbps operation and 25MHz for 100Mbps operation.
Receive Data Valid (RXDV)
RXDV is driven by the PHY to indicate that the PHY is presenting recovered and decoded nibbles on RXD[3:0].
In 10Mbps mode, RXDV is asserted with the first nibble of the start-of-frame delimiter (SFD), 5D, and remains asserted
until the end of the frame.
In 100Mbps mode, RXDV is asserted from the first nibble of the preamble to the last nibble of the frame.
RXDV transitions synchronously with respect to RXC.
Receive Data[3:0] (RXD[3:0])
RXD[3:0] transitions synchronously with respect to RXC. For each clock period in which RXDV is asserted, RXD[3:0]
transfers a nibble of recovered data from the PHY.
Receive Error (RXER)
RXER is asserted for one or more RXC periods to indicate that a symbol error (for example, a coding error that a PHY can
detect that may otherwise be undetectable by the MAC sub-layer) was detected somewhere in the frame being
transferred from the PHY.
RXER transitions synchronously with respect to RXC.
Carrier Sense (CRS)
CRS is asserted and de-asserted as follows:
In 10Mbps mode, CRS assertion is based on the reception of valid preambles. CRS de-assertion is based on the
reception of an end-of-frame (EOF) marker.
In 100Mbps mode, CRS is asserted when a start-of-stream delimiter or /J/K symbol pair is detected. CRS is de-asserted
when an end-of-stream delimiter or /T/R symbol pair is detected. Additionally, the PMA layer de-asserts CRS if IDLE
symbols are received without /T/R.
Collision (COL)
COL is asserted in half-duplex mode whenever the transmitter and receiver are simultaneously active on the line. This
informs the MAC that a collision has occurred during its transmission to the PHY.
COL transitions asynchronously with respect to TXC and RXC.

KSZ8081MLX
MII Management (MIIM) Interface
The KSZ8081MLX supports the IEEE 802.3 MII management interface, also known as the Management Data
Input/Output (MDIO) interface. This interface allows an upper-layer device, such as a MAC processor, to monitor and
control the state of the KSZ8081MLX. An external device with MIIM capability is used to read the PHY status and/or
configure the PHY settings. More details about the MIIM interface can be found in Clause 22.2.4 of the IEEE 802.3
Specification.
The MIIM interface consists of the following:
•
A physical connection that incorporates the clock line (MDC) and the data line (MDIO).
•
A specific protocol that operates across the physical connection mentioned earlier, which allows the external controller
to communicate with one or more PHY devices.
•
A set of 16-bit MDIO registers. Supported registers [0:8] are standard registers, and their functions are defined in the
IEEE 802.3 Specification. The additional registers are provided for expanded functionality. See the Register Map
section for details.
As the default, the KSZ8081MLX supports unique PHY addresses 1 to 7, and broadcast PHY address 0. The latter is
defined in the IEEE 802.3 Specification, and can be used to read/write to a single KSZ8081MLX device, or write to
multiple KSZ8081MLX devices simultaneously.
PHY address 0 can optionally be disabled as the broadcast address by either hardware pin strapping (B-CAST_OFF, Pin
28) or software (Register 16h, Bit [9]), and assigned as a unique PHY address.
The PHYAD[2:0] strapping pins are used to assign a unique PHY address between 0 and 7 to each KSZ8081MLX device.
The MIIM interface can operates up to a maximum clock speed of 10MHz MAC clock.

Interrupt (INTRP)
INTRP (Pin 32) is an optional interrupt signal that is used to inform the external controller that there has been a status
update to the KSZ8081MLX PHY Register. Bits [15:8] of Register 1Bh are the interrupt control bits to enable and disable
the conditions for asserting the INTRP signal. Bits [7:0] of Register 1Bh are the interrupt status bits to indicate which
interrupt conditions have occurred. The interrupt status bits are cleared after reading Register 1Bh.
Bit [9] of Register 1Fh sets the interrupt level to active high or active low. The default is active low.
The MII management bus option gives the MAC processor complete access to the KSZ8081MLX control and status
registers. Additionally, an interrupt pin eliminates the need for the processor to poll the PHY for status change.
HP Auto MDI/MDI-X
HP Auto MDI/MDI-X configuration eliminates the need to decide whether to use a straight cable or a crossover cable
between the KSZ8081MLX and its link partner. This feature allows the KSZ8081MLX to use either type of cable to
connect with a link partner that is in either MDI or MDI-X mode. The auto-sense function detects transmit and receive
pairs from the link partner and assigns transmit and receive pairs of the KSZ8081MLX accordingly.
HP Auto MDI/MDI-X is enabled by default. It is disabled by writing a ‘1’ to Register 1Fh, Bit [13]. MDI and MDI-X mode is
selected by Register 1Fh, Bit [14] if HP Auto MDI/MDI-X is disabled.
An isolation transformer with symmetrical transmit and receive data paths is recommended to support Auto MDI/MDI-X.

LinkMD® Cable Diagnostic
The LinkMD function uses time-domain reflectometry (TDR) to analyze the cabling plant for common cabling problems.
These include open circuits, short circuits, and impedance mismatches.
LinkMD works by sending a pulse of known amplitude and duration down the MDI or MDI-X pair, then analyzing the shape
of the reflected signal to determine the type of fault. The time duration for the reflected signal to return provides the
approximate distance to the cabling fault. The LinkMD function processes this TDR information and presents it as a
numerical value that can be translated to a cable distance.
LinkMD is initiated by accessing Register 1Dh, the LinkMD Control/Status register, in conjunction with Register 1Fh, the
PHY Control 2 register. The latter register is used to disable Auto MDI/MDI-X and to select either MDI or MDI-X as the
cable differential pair for testing.
Usage
The following is a sample procedure for using LinkMD with Registers 1Dh and 1Fh:
3. Disable auto MDI/MDI-X by writing a ‘1’ to Register 1Fh, bit [13].
4. Start cable diagnostic test by writing a ‘1’ to Register 1Dh, bit [15]. This enable bit is self-clearing.
5. Wait (poll) for Register 1Dh, bit [15] to return a ‘0’, and indicating cable diagnostic test is completed.
6. Read cable diagnostic test results in Register 1Dh, bits [14:13]. The results are as follows:
00 = normal condition (valid test)
01 = open condition detected in cable (valid test)
10 = short condition detected in cable (valid test)
11 = cable diagnostic test failed (invalid test)
The ‘11’ case, invalid test, occurs when the device is unable to shut down the link partner. In this instance, the test is
not run, since it would be impossible for the device to determine if the detected signal is a reflection of the signal
generated or a signal from another source.
7. Get distance to fault by concatenating Register 1Dh, bits [8:0] and multiplying the result by a constant of 0.38. The
distance to the cable fault can be determined by the following formula:
D (distance to cable fault) = 0.38 x (Register 1Dh, bits [8:0])
D (distance to cable fault) is expressed in meters.
Concatenated value of Registers 1Dh bits [8:0] should be converted to decimal before multiplying by 0.38.
The constant (0.38) may be calibrated for different cabling conditions, including cables with a velocity of propagation
that varies significantly from the norm.

NAND Tree Support
The KSZ8081MLX provides parametric NAND tree support for fault detection between chip I/Os and board. The NAND
tree is a chain of nested NAND gates in which each KSZ8081MLX digital I/O (NAND tree input) pin is an input to one
NAND gate along the chain. At the end of the chain, the CRS/CONFIG1 pin provides the output for the nested NAND
gates.
The NAND tree test process includes:
•
Enabling NAND tree mode
•
Pulling all NAND tree input pins high
•
Driving each NAND tree input pin low, sequentially, according to the NAND tree pin order
•
Checking the NAND tree output to make sure there is a toggle high-to-low or low-to-high for each NAND tree input
driven low
Table 5 lists the NAND tree pin order.

NAND Tree I/O Testing
Use the following procedure to check for faults on the KSZ8081MLX digital I/O pin connections to the board:
1. Enable NAND tree mode using either a hardware strap-in pin (NAND_Tree#, Pin 32) or software (Register 16h, Bit
[5]). Pin 44 TEST/NC has to use a pull-up resistor for normal NAND tree testing.
2. Use board logic to drive all KSZ8081MLX NAND tree input pins high.
3. Use board logic to drive each NAND tree input pin, in KSZ8081MLX NAND tree pin order, as follows:
a. Toggle the first pin (MDIO) from high to low, and verify that the CRS/CONFIG1 pin switches from high to low to
indicate that the first pin is connected properly.
b. Leave the first pin (MDIO) low.
c.
Toggle the second pin (MDC) from high to low, and verify that the CRS/CONFIG1 pin switches from low to high to
indicate that the second pin is connected properly.
d. Leave the first pin (MDIO) and the second pin (MDC) low.
e. Toggle the third pin (RXD3) from high to low, and verify that the CRS/CONFIG1 pin switches from high to low to
indicate that the third pin is connected properly.
f.
Continue with this sequence until all KSZ8081MLX NAND tree input pins have been toggled.
Each KSZ8081MLX NAND tree input pin must cause the CRS/CONFIG1 output pin to toggle high-to-low or low-to-high to
indicate a good connection. If the CRS pin fails to toggle when the KSZ8081MLX input pin toggles from high to low, the
input pin has a fault.

KSZ8081MLX
Power Management
The KSZ8081MLX incorporates a number of power-management modes and features that provide methods to consume
less energy. These are discussed in the following sections.
Power-Saving Mode
Power-saving mode is used to reduce the transceiver power consumption when the cable is unplugged. It is enabled by
writing a ‘1’ to Register 1Fh, Bit [10], and is in effect when auto-negotiation mode is enabled and the cable is disconnected
(no link).
In this mode, the KSZ8081MLX shuts down all transceiver blocks, except for the transmitter, energy detect, and PLL
circuits.
By default, power-saving mode is disabled after power-up.
Energy-Detect Power-Down Mode
Energy-detect power-down (EDPD) mode is used to further reduce transceiver power consumption when the cable is
unplugged. It is enabled by writing a ‘0’ to Register 18h, Bit [11], and is in effect when auto-negotiation mode is enabled
and the cable is disconnected (no link).
EDPD mode works with the PLL off (set by writing a ‘1’ to Register 10h, Bit [4] to automatically turn the PLL off in EDPD
mode) to turn off all KSZ8081MLX transceiver blocks, except for the transmitter and energy-detect circuits.
Power can be reduced further by extending the time interval between transmissions of link pulses to check for the
presence of a link partner. The periodic transmission of link pulses is needed to ensure two link partners in the same lowpower state, with Auto MDI/MDI-X disabled, can wake up when the cable is connected between them.
By default, energy-detect power-down mode is disabled after power-up.
Power-Down Mode
Power-down mode is used to power down the KSZ8081MLX device when it is not in use after power-up. It is enabled by
writing a ‘1’ to Register 0h, Bit [11].
In this mode, the KSZ8081MLX disables all internal functions except the MII management interface. The KSZ8081MLX
exits (disables) power-down mode after Register 0h, Bit [11] is set back to ‘0’.
Slow-Oscillator Mode
Slow-oscillator mode is used to disconnect the input reference crystal/clock on XI (Pin 15) and select the on-chip slow
oscillator when the KSZ8081MLX device is not in use after power-up. It is enabled by writing a ‘1’ to Register 11h, Bit [5].
Slow-oscillator mode works in conjunction with power-down mode to put the KSZ8081MLX device in the lowest power
state with all internal functions disabled except the MII management interface. To properly exit this mode and return to
normal PHY operation, use the following programming sequence:
1. Disable slow-oscillator mode by writing a ‘0’ to Register 11h, Bit [5].
2. Disable power-down mode by writing a ‘0’ to Register 0h, Bit [11].
3. Initiate software reset by writing a ‘1’ to Register 0h, Bit [15].

The supply voltage (VDDIO and VDDA_3.3) power-up waveform should be monotonic. The 300µs minimum rise time is from
10% to 90%.
For warm reset, the reset (RST#) pin should be asserted low for a minimum of 500µs. The strap-in pin values are read
and updated at the de-assertion of reset.
After the de-assertion of reset, wait a minimum of 100µs before starting programming on the MIIM (MDC/MDIO) interface.

Reset Circuit
Figure 17 shows a reset circuit recommended for powering up the KSZ8081MLX if reset is triggered by the power supply.
Figure 17. Recommended Reset Circuit
Figure 18 Shows a reset circuit recommended for applications where reset is driven by another device (for example, the
CPU or an FPGA). The reset out RST_OUT_n from CPU/FPGA provides the warm reset after power up reset. D2 is used
if using different VDDIO between the switch and CPU/FPGA, otherwise, the different VDDIO will fight each other. If
different VDDIO have to use in a special case, a low VF (<0.3V) diode is required (For example, Vishay’s BAT54,
MSS1P2L and so on), or a level shifter device can be used too. If Ethernet device and CPU/FPGA use same VDDIO
voltage, D2 can be removed to connect both devices directly. Usually, Ethernet device and CPU/FPGA should use same
VDDIO voltage.

Reference Circuits − LED Strap-In Pins
The pull-up, float, and pull-down reference circuits for the LED1/SPEED and LED0/NWAYEN strapping pins are shown in
Figure 19 for 3.3V and 2.5V VDDIO.
Figure 19. Reference Circuits for LED Strapping Pins
For 1.8V VDDIO, LED indication support is not recommended due to the low voltage. Without the LED indicator, the
SPEED and NWAYEN strapping pins are functional with a 4.7kΩ pull-up to 1.8V VDDIO or float for a value of ‘1’, and with
1.0kΩ pull-down to ground for a value of ‘0’.
Note: If using RJ45 Jacks with integrated LEDs and 1.8V VDDIO, a level shifting is required from LED 3.3V to 1.8V. For
example, use a bipolar transistor or a level shift device.

Reference Clock − Connection and Selection
A crystal or external clock source, such as an oscillator, is used to provide the reference clock for the KSZ8081MLX. For
the KSZ8081MLX in all operating modes, the reference clock is 25MHz. The reference clock connections to XI (Pin 15)
and XO (Pin 14), and the reference clock selection criteria, are provided in Figure 20 and Table 18.

Magnetic − Connection and Selection
A 1:1 isolation transformer is required at the line interface. Use one with integrated common-mode chokes for designs
exceeding FCC requirements.
The KSZ8081MLX design incorporates voltage-mode transmit drivers and on-chip terminations.
With the voltage-mode implementation, the transmit drivers supply the common-mode voltages to the two differential
pairs. Therefore, the two transformer center tap pins on the KSZ8081MLX side should not be connected to any power
supply source on the board; instead, the center tap pins should be separated from one another and connected through
separate 0.1µF common-mode capacitors to ground. Separation is required because the common-mode voltage is
different between transmitting and receiving differential pairs.
Figure 21 shows the typical magnetic interface circuit for the KSZ8081MLX.
