General Description
The RTL8212/RTL8212N/8211N integrate dual/single independent Gigabit Ethernet
transceivers into a single IC and performs all the physical layer (PHY) functions for
10Base-T, 100Base-TX, and 1000Base-T Ethernet on category 3 (10Base-T) or category 5
UTP cable (except 1000Base-T half duplex operation).
The device includes the PCS, PMA, and PMD sub-layers. They perform
encoding/decoding, clock/data recovery, digital adaptive equalization, echo cancellers,
cross-talk elimination, line driver, as well as all other required support circuit functions.
The device also integrates an internal hybrid that allows the use of inexpensive 1:1
transformer modules.
Each of the two independent transceivers features an industrial standard GMII, MII, and
RGMII (Reduced Gigabit Media Independent Interface). To further reduce PCB trace
complexity, the RTL8211N/8212N also provides an innovative 2.5Gbps serial interface –
the Reduced Serial Gigabit Media Independent Interface (RSGMII). Both dual
transceivers can simultaneously communicate with the MAC through the same RSGMII
interface.
The RTL8212/RTL8212N/8211N adopts mixed mode 0.13µm CMOS technology and
analog line driver architecture that offers lower power consumption than DAC
architecture.
Two package types are available; a thermally-enhanced 128-pin EDHS-QFP (Exposed
Drop-in Heat Sink QFP) package, and a QFN (Quad Flat No-Lead) 76-pin package.

Description
GMII Transmit Clock. 125MHz input clock. All transmit inputs
must be synchronized to this clock during 1000Base-T
operation. This clock can be stopped in 10/100Base-T modes,
and also during Auto-Negotiation.
MII Transmit Clock. All transmit inputs must be synchronized
to this clock during 10/100 operation. It provides a 25MHz
clock reference in 100Base-TX mode, and 2.5MHz clock
reference in 10Base-T.
The 25MHz clock is the default rate.
GMII/MII Transmit Enable. The synchronous input indicates
that valid data is being driven on the TXD bus. As the RTL8212
does not support 1000Base-T half-duplex mode, the
carrier-extension symbol is not transmitted onto the cable.
TXEN is synchronous to GTXC in 1000Base-T mode and
synchronous to TXC in 10/100Base-TX mode.
GMII/MII Transmit Data Bus. The width of this synchronous
input bus varies with the speed mode:
1000: TXD[7:0] are used.
10/100: TXD[3:0] are used; TXD[7:4] are ignored.
TXD[7:0] is synchronous to GTXC in 1000Base-T mode and
synchronous to TXC in 10/100Base-TX mode.

upon the link speed:
1000: 125MHz
100: 25MHz
10: 2.5MHz

GMII/MII Carrier Sense. This asynchronous output is asserted
when a non-idle condition is detected at the twisted-pair
interface, and de-asserted when idle or a valid end of stream
delimiter is detected. In 10/100Base-T half duplex, CRS is also
asserted during transmission.
CRS is asynchronous to TXC and RXC.
GMII/MII Collision. This asynchronous output is asserted when
a collision is detected in half-duplex modes. In full duplex
mode, this out is forced low.
COL is asynchronous to TXC, and RXC.
GMII/MII Receive Error. When RXER and RXDV are both
asserted, the symbol indicates an error symbol is detected on the
cable. Since RTL8212 don’t support 1000Base-T half-duplex
mode, carrier-extension receive symbol (RXER is asserted with
RXDV deasserted) is not valid.
RXDV is synchronous to RXC.

Functional Description
8.1.
MDI Interface
The RTL8212/RTL8212N/8211N uses a single common MDI interface to support 10Base-T,
100Base-Tx, and 1000Base-T. This interface consists of four signal pairs-A, B, C, and D. Each signal pair
consists of two bi-directional pins that can transmit and receive at the same time. The MDI interface has
internal termination resistors, and therefore reduces BOM cost and PCB complexity. For 1000Base-T, all
four pairs are used in both directions at the same time. For 10/100 links and during auto-negotiation, only
pairs A and B are used. Table 14 shows the mapping between the pairs and the RJ-45 signals.

Crossover Detection and Auto Correction
The RTL8212/RTL8212N/8211N automatically determines whether or not it needs to crossover between
pairs; removing the need for an external crossover cable. When connecting to a device that does not
perform MDI crossover, the RTL8212/RTL8212N/RTL8211N automatically switches its pin pairs to
communicate with the connecting device. When connecting to a device that does have MDI crossover
capability, an algorithm determines which end performs the crossover function.
The crossover detection and auto correction function can be disabled by strap pin. The
RTL8212/RTL8212N/8211N is set to MDI Crossover by default. The pin mapping in MDI and MDI
Crossover mode is given in Table 15.

Polarity Correction
The RTL8212/RTL8212N/8211N automatically correct polarity errors on the receiver pairs in 10Base-T
and 1000Base-T modes. In 100Base-Tx mode, the polarity is irrelevant.
In 1000Base-T mode, receive polarity errors are automatically corrected based on the sequence of idle
symbols. Once the descrambler is locked the polarity is also locked on all pairs. The polarity becomes
unlocked only when the receiver loses lock.
In 10Base-T mode, polarity errors are corrected based on the detection of valid spaced link pulses. The
detection begins during the MDI crossover detection phase and locks when the 10Base-T link is up. The
polarity becomes unlocked when the link is down.

Gigabit Media Independent Interface (GMII/MII)
Table 18 indicates the signal mapping of the RTL8212 to the Gigabit Media Independent Interface
(GMII/MII). MII signaling to support 100Base-Tx and 10Base-T modes is implemented by sharing pins
of the GMII interface. The interface supports GMII to copper connections at all three speeds. The GMII
mode does not support carrier extension and packet concatenation in both the transmit and receive
directions, due to no TXER pin.

In 1000Base-T operation, when GMII mode is selected, a 125MHz transmit clock is expected on GTXC,
and RXC sources the 125MHz receive clock. At the same time, TXC sources 25MHz, 2.5MHz, or 0MHz
depending on the MDI status.
In 10Base-T and 100Base-TX modes, when MII mode is selected, both TXC and RXC source 25MHz or
2.5MHz, respectively. TXD[3:0] and RXD[3:0] signals are used. GTXC and TXD[7..4] signals must be
pulled high or low and must not be left floating. RXD[7..4] are driven low.

During the transition from one speed to another, a dead time of 1.5 clock cycles may occur in RXC and
TXC (in order to ensure a glitch-free clock).
Note: The GMII and MII interfaces are enabled by hardware configuration bits INTF_SEL[1..0] that are
latched at the end of hardware reset.

Reduced GMII (RGMII)
The RTL8212 supports the RGMII Rev. 2.0 specification. This interface reduces the interconnection
between the MAC and the PHY to 12 pins. In order to accomplish this objective, the data paths and all
associated control signals are reduced. Control signals are multiplexed and both edges of the clock are
used.
For Gigabit operation, the transmit and receive clocks operate at 125MHz. For 10/100 operation, the
clocks operate at 2.5MHz or 25MHz respectively. Once the RGMII is selected in all three speeds,
transmit control is presented on both clock edges of GTXC (TXC). Receive control (RX_CTL) is
presented on both clock edges of RXC (RXC).
The RGMII interface is selected by setting INTF_SEL[1..0] to ‘10’.

10/100 Functionality
This interface can be used to implement the 10/100Mbps Ethernet Media Independent Interface (MII) by
reducing the clock rate to 25MHz for 100Mbps operation and 2.5MHz for 10Mbps. The TXC will always
be generated by the MAC and RXC will always be generated by the PHY. During packet reception, the
RXC may be stretched on either the positive or negative pulse to accommodate the transition from the
free running clock to a data-synchronous clock domain. When the speed of the PHY changes, a similar
stretching of the positive or negative pulses is allowed. No glitch of the clocks are allowed during speed
transitions.
The interface will operate at 10 and 100Mbps speeds exactly the same way it does at Gigabit speed with
the exception that the data may be duplicated on the falling edge of the appropriate clock.
The MAC must hold TXEN (TX_CTL) low until the MAC has ensured that TXEN (TX_CTL) is
operating at the same speed as the PHY.

TX_CTL and RX_CTL Coding
To reduce power consumption of this interface, TX_ER and RX_ER are encoded in a manner that
minimizes transitions during normal network operation. This is done via the following encoding method.
Note that the RTL8212 does not support Half-Duplex in 1000Base-T and the GMII_TX_ER signal is tied
to logic low at all times, carrier extend and transmit errors never appear at the transmitting and
receiving end.
TX_CTL Í GMII_TX_ER (XOR) GMII_TX_EN
RX_CTL Í GMII_RX_ER (XOR) GMII_RX_DV
While receiving a valid frame with no errors, RX_DV=true is generated as a logic high on the rising edge
of RXC, and RX_ER=false is generated as a logic high on the falling edge of RXC. When no frame is
being received, RX_DV=false is generated as a logic low on the rising edge of RXC, and RX_ER=false is
generated as a logic low on the falling edge of RXC.
When receiving a valid frame with errors, RX_DV=true is generated as a logic high on the rising edge of
RXC, and RX_ER=true is generated as a logic low on the falling edge of RXC.
During normal frame transmission, the signal stays at high for both edges of TXC. During normal
inter-frame, the signal stays low for both edges.

Note 1: The MAC is designed to acquire the link status, speed and duplex mode of the PHY via MDC/MDIO polling, so
the RTL821 does not implement specific code onto RXD[3..0] to inform MAC of the PHY status during normal

Note 2: In addition to the encoding of RX_DV and RX_ER as indicated in Table 21, a value of ‘FF’ also exists on the

Four RGMII Modes
The RTL8212 supports four different timing modes of operation. Hardware strapping pins TXDLY and
RXDLY can be used to select between the four RGMII timing modes. Refer to Table 44, page 58, for
RGMII Mode timing.
Each bit adjusts the delay of data with respect to clock edges. For both inputs and outputs of the PHY the

Reduced Serial GMII (RTL8212N & RTL8211N Only)
To reduce PCB complexity and IC pin count, Realtek offers a proprietary interface; the Realtek Reduced
Serial Gigabit Media Independent Interface (RSGMII). This innovative 2.5Gbps serial interface provides
an upto 5 inch long MAC to PHY communication path. The RSGMII can carry the full duplex gigabit
Ethernet data streams of two ports simultaneously, and recover clock from the data rather than use a
dedicated clock. The RSGMII reduces the interconnection between the gigabit Ethernet PHY and MAC to
only 4 pins. Figure 14 depicts the RSGMII interconnection.

The RSGMII interface runs at 2.5Gbps in 10M/100M/1000Mbps modes. Clearly, a 2.5Gbps data rate is
excessive for interfaces operating at 10M/100Mbps. When operating in these conditions, the interface
elongates each byte of data by 10 times for 100Mbps, and by 100 times for 10Mbps, through a rate
adaptation block.

RTL8212/RTL8212N/RTL8211N
Datasheet
The data paths and all associated control signals are transmitted from each port and recovered at the
receiver side via proprietary transmission encode/decode and Serial/De-serial translation.
Taking the Realtek RTL8369 and RTL8212N as examples (see Figure 15), the RTL8369 contains four
RSGMII (4 pairs) and the RTL8212N contains one RSGMII (1 pair). The RTL8369 generates SnTX+/-,
n=0-3 signals to four RTL8212N’s, and receives SnRX+/-, n=0-3 signals from four RTL8212N’s. Each
RSGMII carries two gigabits of Ethernet data from PHY to MAC and MAC to PHY.
In traditional GMII applications, the MAC to PHY interface requires at least 20 pins to carry 1 port’s
bi-directional gigabit Ethernet traffic. A MAC to PHY RSGMII needs only 4 pins to carry two port’s
gigabit Ethernet traffic. This greatly improves PCB layout size and complexity in gigabit switch design.

RSGMII Data Transfer
At the receive side, GMII signals of the two gigabit Ethernet PHY ports enter at 10/100/1000Mbps,
clocked at 2.5/25/125MHz. Each port passes these signals through Ethernet PHY receive rate adaptation
to output data RXD[7..0] in the 125MHz clock domain. Both RXD are then sent to the individual PCS
Transmit State Machine to generate proprietary encoded code-words A and B. The PHY combines the
code-words A and B generated from the two ports to a code-word C, and converts it to a serial (bit by bit)
stream for the Ethernet MAC at a 2.5Gbps data rate.
At the transmit side, the PHY de-serializes data to recover the encoded code-word C. Next the
synchronization block checks the code-word C to determine the synchronization status between links, and
to realign if it detects a loss of synchronization.
The Ethernet PHY separates the synchronous code-word C, into A and B for each port. Each port’s
code-word is then recovered to the GMII signal in the 125MHz clock domain by passing through
individual PCS Receive State Machines. Both the decoded GMII signals have to pass the PHY Transmit
Rate Adaptation block to output data segments according to the port speed. The transmitting and
receiving operation flow on the Ethernet MAC side is the same as the Ethernet PHY side. Figure 16 and
Figure 17 show the functional block diagram at the PHY and MAC side respectively. They illustrate how
the PCS layer is modified and incorporated at the PHY and MAC side within the RSGMII interface.

MDC/MDIO Management Interface
The RTL8212/RTL8212N/RTL8211N support the IEEE compliant Management Data Input/Output
(MDIO) Interface. This is the only method for the MAC to acquire the PHY statuses. The MII
management interface registers are written and read serially, using the MDC/MDIO pins. Data transferred
to and from the MDIO pins is synchronized with the MDC clock. All transfers are initiated by the MAC.
A clock of up to 12.5MHz must drive the MDC pin of the RTL8212/RTL8212N/RTL8211N.
The MDIO frame structure starts with a 32-bit preamble, which is required by the RTL8212/8211.
Following bits include a start-of-frame marker, an op-code, a 10-bit address field, and a 16-bit data field.
The address field is divided into two 5-bit segments. The first segment identifies the PHY address and the
second identifies the register being accessed.
The four uppermost bits of the 5-bit PHY address are determined by the hardware strapping values during
power up. The LSB of the PHY address is ‘0’ for Port0 and ‘1’ for Port1. The MDIO protocol provides
both read and write operations. During a write operation, the MAC drives the MDIO line for the entire

the MAC. The MDIO pin of the MAC must be put in a high-impedance during these bit times. Figure 18

The RTL8212/RTL8212N/RTL8211N is permanently programmed for preamble suppression. A
preamble of 32 bits is required only for the first read or write. The management preamble may be as short
as 1 bit.

10. Design and Layout Guide
In order to achieve maximum performance using the RTL8212/RTL8212N/RTL8211N, good design
attention is required throughout the design and layout process. The following are some recommendations
on how to implement a high performance system.
10.1. General Guidelines
•
Provide a good power source, minimizing noise from switching power supply circuits
(<100mV).
•
Verify the ability of critical components, e.g. clock source and transformer, to meet application
requirements.
•
•
Use bulk capacitors (4.7µF-10µF) between the power and ground planes.
Use 0.1µF de-coupling capacitors to reduce high-frequency noise on the power and ground
planes.
•
Keep de-coupling capacitors as close as possible to the RTL8212/RTL8212N/RTL8211N
(within 200 mil).
•
The transformer should be placed as close as possible to the RTL8212/RTL8212N/RTL8211N
(within 12cm).
•
•
The RJ-45 phone jack should be placed as close as possible to the transformer.
Prevent right angles on all traces.
10.2. MII/GMII/RGMII Signal Layout Guidelines
•
Keep inter-trace spacing with 3 times of trace width, to reduce crosstalk (for example, if the
width of the signal trace is 6 mil, the inter-trace spacing should be 18 mil or more).
•
For traces longer than 5 inches, guard traces should be placed between signal traces. The guard
traces should have many vias to GND.
•
Place source termination resisters near output pins.

RTL8212/RTL8212N/RTL8211N
Datasheet
10.3. RSGMII Signal Layout Guidelines
•
Ensure the differential pairs maintain 100 ohm impedance
• (5/7/5 for 4 Layer PCB: Trace width 5 mil, inter-pair spacing 7 mil, dielectric layer
thickness 4.4 mil)
•
•
•
•
•
•
(9/6/9 for 2 Layer PCB: Trace width 9 mil, inter-pair spacing 6 mil, dielectric layer
thickness 59 mil)
Separate the differential pair and other signals by at least 30mil.
Keep intra-pair length mismatch less than 5mil.
Place AC coupling capacitors near output pins of differential pairs.
Route both traces of differential pairs symmetrically.
Avoid vias on differential pairs.
10.4. Ethernet MDI Differential Signal Layout Guidelines
•
Ensure the differential pairs maintain 100 ohm impedance and route both traces as identically as
possible.
•
Keep intra-pair length mismatch less than 50mil (from the IC to the transformer and from the
transformer to the RJ-45).
•
•
Avoid vias on differential pairs.
Maintain a 30mil minimum gap between differential pairs.
10.5. Clock Circuit
•
•
The clock should be 25M +/-50ppm with jitter less than 0.5ns.
If possible, surround the clock by ground trace to minimize high-frequency emissions.
10.6. Power Planes
•
•
Divide the power plane into 1.2V digital, 1.2V analog, 1.8V analog and 3.3V analog.
Use 0.1µF decoupling capacitors and bulk capacitors between each power plane and ground
plane.

RTL8212/RTL8212N/RTL8211N
Datasheet
10.7. Ground Plane
•
Keep the system ground region as one continuous, unbroken plane that extends from the
primary side of the transformer to the rest of the board.
•
Isolate the AVSS pin of the RTL8212/RTL8212N/RTL8211N (Pin 46, 48 on the QFN76, and
Pin 84, 86 on the QFP128) with system ground via beads.
•
•
Place a moat (gap) between the system ground and chassis ground.
Ensure the chassis ground area is voided at some point such that no ground loop exists on the
chassis ground area.
10.8. Transformer Options
The RTL8212/RTL8212N/RTL8211N uses a transformer with a 1:1 turn ratio. There are many venders
offering transformer designs that meet the RTL8212/RTL8212N/RTL8211N’s requirements, e.g., Pulse
H5014, Bothhand GS5014R, and LANKom LG-4803-1(R) for the RTL8212/RTL8212N.
Pulse H5004 and Bothhand 24HST1041-2 for the RTL8211N.
