RMII transmit signal timing (TXD[1:0], TX_EN)
The transmitter functions correctly up to a REF_CLK maximum frequency of 50 MHz +
1%. There is no minimum frequency requirement. The system clock frequency must be at
least equal to or greater than the TX_CLK frequency, which is half that of the REF_CLK
frequency.
The transmit outputs (TXD[1:0], TX_EN) can be programmed to transition from either
the rising or falling edge of REF_CLK, and the timing is the same in either case. This
options allows the use of non-compliant RMII PHYs.
All timing specifications are referenced from REF_CLK = 1.4 V to the valid output
levels.
