Write Transaction
Figure 9-2 shows a write transaction across the MDIO, defined as OP=”01.” The addressed
PHY device (with physical address PHYAD) takes the 16-bit word in the Data field and
writes it to the register at REGAD.
Read Transaction
Figure 9-3 shows a read transaction, defined as OP=”10.” The addressed PHY device (with
physical address PHYAD) takes control of the MDIO wire during the turnaround cycle and
then returns the 16-bit word from the register at REGAD
MDIO Addressing
MDIO Addresses consists of two stages: Physical Address (PHYAD) and Register Address
(REGAD).
Physical Address (PHYAD)
As shown in Figure 9-1, two PHY devices are attached to the MDIO bus. Each of these has
a different physical address. To address the intended PHY, its physical address should be
PHYAD Physical address
REGAD Register address
