2.8 Ethernet Management Interface
The T2080 has two Ethernet Management Interfaces (EMI), both powered by LVDD. However, EMI2 is only used with XFI-based
PHYs, which uses 1.2 V pull-up. EMI1 is used with all other non-XFI-based PHYs, including the onboard RGMII PHYs. The image
below shows the EMI hardware block.
