4.2 Ethernet
Based on Intels i210 ethernet controller the module provides a 1Gb Ethernet MDI with twisted pair signals for an external transformer.
The i210 includes a voltage mode line driver so it doesn’t require an analog powered center tap. Therefore Pin 15 GBE_CTREF specified in the
Qseven
®
specification 2.0 is not connected on the module.
The I210 has built in termination resistors. As a result, external termination resistors should not be used.
If only 10/100 Mbit/s is required, the unused MDI Pins can be left unconnected.
Table 4-2 Ethernet Signal Description
Media Dependent Interface Differential Pair 0
Used for the receive pair in 10/100 Mbit/s mode
Media Dependent Interface Differential Pair 1
Used for the transmit pair in 10/100 Mbit/s mode
Media Dependent Interface Differential Pair 2
This signal pair is only used for 1000Mbit/s mode.
Media Dependent Interface Differential Pair 3
This signal pair is only used for 1000Mbit/s mode.
