3.16.3.6 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. These options allows the use of non-compliant RMII PHYs.

All timing specifications are referenced for TTL or CMOS input levels for REF_CLK to the valid output levels, 0.8 V 
and 2.0 V.

 is the external load to the device. The internal package 
capacitance is accounted for, and does not need to be subtracted from the 25 pF value.
