1.0 INTRODUCTION
1.1 General Description
KSZ8863MLL, KSZ8863FLL, and KSZ8863RLL are highly integrated 3-port switch-on-a-chip ICs in the industry’s small-
est footprint. They are designed to enable a new generation of low port count, cost-sensitive, and power-efficient 10/
100 Mbps switch systems. Low power consumption, advanced power management, and sophisticated QoS features
(for example, IPv6 priority classification support) make these devices ideal for IPTV, IP-STB, VoIP, automotive, and
industrial applications.
The KSZ8863 family is designed to support the GREEN requirement in today’s switch systems. Advanced power man-
agement schemes include software power down, per port power down, and energy detect mode that shuts down the
transceiver when a port is idle.
KSZ8863MLL/FLL/RLL also offers a bypass mode that enables system-level power saving. In this mode, the processor
connected to the switch through the MII interface can be shut down without impacting the normal switch operation.
The configurations provided by the KSZ8863 family enable the flexibility to meet the requirements of different applica-
tions:
• KSZ8863MLL: Two 10/100BASE-T/TX transceivers and one MII interface
• KSZ8863RLL: Two 10/100BASE-T/TX transceivers and one RMII interface
• KSZ8863FLL: One 100BASE-FX, one 10/100BASE-T/TX transceivers, and one MII interface
The devices are available in RoHS-compliant 48-pin LQFP packages. Industrial-grade and automotive-grade are also
available.

KSZ8863MLL/FLL/RLL
3.0 FUNCTIONAL DESCRIPTION
KSZ8863MLL/FLL/RLL contains two 10/100 physical layer transceivers and three MAC units with an integrated layer 2
managed switch.
KSZ8863MLL/FLL/RLL has the flexibility to reside in either a managed or unmanaged design. In a managed design, the
host processor has complete control of KSZ8863MLL/FLL/RLL via the SMI interface, MIIM interface, SPI bus, or I2C
bus. An unmanaged design is achieved through I/O strapping and/or EEPROM programming at system reset time.
On the media side, KSZ8863MLL/FLL/RLL supports IEEE 802.3 10BASE-T and 100BASE-TX on both PHY ports. Phys-
ical signal transmission and reception are enhanced through the use of patented analog circuitries that make the design
more efficient and allow for lower power consumption and smaller chip die size.
3.1 Physical Layer Transceiver
3.1.1 100BASE-TX TRANSMIT
The 100BASE-TX transmit function performs parallel-to-serial conversion, 4B/5B coding, scrambling, NRZ-to-NRZI con-
version, and MLT3 encoding and transmission.
The circuitry starts with a parallel-to-serial conversion, which converts the MII data from the MAC into a 125 MHz serial
bit stream. The data and control stream is then converted into 4B/5B coding, followed by a scrambler. The serialized
data is further converted from NRZ-to-NRZI format, and then transmitted in MLT3 current output. The output current is
set by an external 1% 11.8 k resistor for the 1:1 transformer ratio.
The output signal has a typical rise/fall time of 4 ns and complies with the ANSI TP-PMD standard regarding amplitude
balance, overshoot, and timing jitter. The wave-shaped 10BASE-T output is also incorporated into the 100BASE-TX
transmitter.
3.1.2 100BASE-TX RECEIVE
The 100BASE-TX receiver function performs adaptive equalization, DC restoration, MLT3-to-NRZI conversion, data and
clock recovery, NRZI-to-NRZ conversion, de-scrambling, 4B/5B decoding, and serial-to-parallel conversion.
The receiving side starts with the equalization filter to compensate for inter-symbol interference (ISI) over the twisted
pair cable. Since the amplitude loss and phase distortion is a function of the cable length, the equalizer must adjust its
characteristics to optimize performance. In this design, the variable equalizer makes an initial estimation based on com-
parisons of incoming signal strength against some known cable characteristics, and then tunes itself for optimization.
This is an ongoing process and self-adjusts against environmental changes such as temperature variations.
Next, the equalized signal goes through a DC restoration and data conversion block. The DC restoration circuit is used
to compensate for the effect of baseline wander and to improve the dynamic range. The differential data conversion
circuit converts the MLT3 format back to NRZI. The slicing threshold is also adaptive.
The clock recovery circuit extracts the 125 MHz clock from the edges of the NRZI signal. This recovered clock is then
used to convert the NRZI signal into the NRZ format. This signal is sent through the de-scrambler followed by the 4B/
5B decoder. Finally, the NRZ serial data is converted to the MII format and provided as the input data to the MAC.
3.1.3 PLL CLOCK SYNTHESIZER
KSZ8863MLL/FLL/RLL generates 125 MHz, 62.5 MHz, and 31.25 MHz clocks for system timing. Internal clocks are
generated from an external 25 MHz or 50 MHz crystal or oscillator. KSZ8863RLL can generate a 50 MHz reference
clock for the RMII interface.
3.1.4 SCRAMBLER/DE-SCRAMBLER (100BASE-TX ONLY)
The purpose of the scrambler is to spread the power spectrum of the signal to reduce electromagnetic interference (EMI)
and baseline wander. Transmitted data is scrambled through the use of an 11-bit wide linear feedback shift register
(LFSR). The scrambler generates a 2047-bit non-repetitive sequence, and the receiver then de-scrambles the incoming
data stream using the same sequence as at the transmitter.
3.1.5 100BASE-FX OPERATION
The 100BASE-FX operation is similar to the 100BASE-TX operation with the differences being that the scrambler/de-
scrambler and MLT3 encoder/decoder are bypassed on transmission and reception. In addition, auto-negotiation is
bypassed and auto MDI/MDI-X is disabled.
KSZ8863MLL/FLL/RLL
DS00002335B-page 12 2017 Microchip Technology Inc.
3.1.6 100BASE-FX SIGNAL DETECTION
In 100BASE-FX operation, FXSD (fiber signal detect), input pin 48, is usually connected to the fiber transceiver SD (sig-
nal detect) output pin. The fiber signal threshold can be selected by register 192 bit 6 for port 1. When FXSD is less than
the threshold, no fiber signal is detected and a far-end fault (FEF) is generated. When FXSD is over the threshold, the
fiber signal is detected.
Alternatively, the designer may choose not to implement the FEF feature. In this case, the FXSD input pin is tied high
to force 100BASE-FX mode.
100BASE-FX signal detection is summarized in Table 3-1:
To ensure proper operation, a resistive voltage divider is recommended to adjust the fiber transceiver SD output voltage
swing to match the FXSD pin’s input voltage threshold.
3.1.7 100BASE-FX FAR-END FAULT
A far-end fault (FEF) occurs when the signal detection is logically false on the receive side of the fiber transceiver. The
KSZ8863FLL detects a FEF when its FXSD input is below the Fiber Signal Threshold. When a FEF is detected,
KSZ8863FLL signals its fiber link partner that a FEF has occurred by sending 84 1’s followed by a zero in the idle period
between frames. By default, FEF is enabled.
3.1.8 10BASE-T TRANSMIT
The 10BASE-T driver is incorporated with the 100BASE-TX driver to allow for transmission using the same magnetics.
They are internally wave-shaped and pre-emphasized into outputs with a typical 2.3V amplitude. The harmonic contents
are at least 27 dB below the fundamental frequency when driven by an all-ones Manchester-encoded signal.
3.1.9 10BASE-T RECEIVE
On the receive side, input buffers and level detecting squelch circuits are employed. A differential input receiver circuit
and a phase-locked loop (PLL) perform the decoding function. The Manchester-encoded data stream is separated into
clock signal and NRZ data. A squelch circuit rejects signals with levels less than 400 mV or with short pulse widths to
prevent noise at the RXP-or-RXM input from falsely triggering the decoder. When the input exceeds the squelch limit,
the PLL locks onto the incoming signal and KSZ8863MLL/FLL/RLL decodes a data frame. The receiver clock is main-
tained active during idle periods in between data reception.
3.1.10 MDI/MDI-X AUTO CROSSOVER
To eliminate the need for crossover cables between similar devices, KSZ8863MLL/FLL/RLL supports HP Auto MDI/
MDI-X and IEEE 802.3u standard MDI/MDI-X auto crossover. HP Auto MDI/MDI-X is the default.
The auto-sense function detects remote transmit and receive pairs and correctly assigns transmit and receive pairs for
the KSZ8863MLL/FLL/RLL device. This feature is extremely useful when end users are unaware of cable types, and
also, saves on an additional uplink configuration connection. The auto-crossover feature can be disabled through the
port control registers, or MIIM PHY registers.
The IEEE 802.3u standard MDI and MDI-X definitions are illustrated in Ta b l e 3 - 2 .

3.1.10.2 Crossover Cable
A crossover cable connects an MDI device to another MDI device, or an MDI-X device to another MDI-X device.
Figure 3-2 shows a typical crossover cable connection between two switches or hubs (two MDI-X devices).
3.1.11 AUTO-NEGOTIATION
KSZ8863MLL/FLL/RLL conforms to the auto-negotiation protocol defined in Clause 28 of the IEEE 802.3u specification.
Auto-negotiation allows unshielded twisted pair (UTP) link partners to select the best common mode of operation. In
auto-negotiation, link partners advertise their capabilities across the link to each other. If auto-negotiation is not sup-
ported or the KSZ8863MLL/FLL/RLL link partner is forced to bypass auto-negotiation, KSZ8863MLL/FLL/RLL sets its
operating mode by observing the signal at its receiver. This is known as parallel detection, and allows KSZ8863MLL/
FLL/RLL to establish a link by listening for a fixed signal protocol in the absence of auto-negotiation advertisement pro-
tocol.
The link up process is shown in Figure 3-3.

FIGURE 3-3: AUTO-NEGOTIATION AND PARALLEL OPERATION
3.1.12 LINKMD® CABLE DIAGNOSTICS
KSZ8863MLL/FLL/RLL supports LinkMD. The LinkMD feature utilizes time domain reflectometry (TDR) to analyze the
cabling plant for common cabling problems such as open circuits, short circuits, and impedance mismatches.
LinkMD works by sending a pulse of known amplitude and duration down the MDI and MDI-X pairs and then analyzes
the shape of the reflected signal. Timing the pulse duration gives an indication of the distance to the cabling fault. Inter-
nal circuitry displays the TDR information in a user-readable digital format.
Cable diagnostics are only valid for copper connections and do not support fiber optic operation.
3.1.12.1 Access
LinkMD is initiated through accessing the PHY special control/status registers {26, 42} and the LinkMD result registers
{27, 43} for ports 1 and 2 respectively; and in conjunction with the port registers control 13 for ports 1 and 2 respectively
to disable Auto MDI/MDIX.
Alternatively, the MIIM PHY registers 0 and 29 can be used for LinkMD access.
3.1.12.2 Usage
The following is a sample procedure for using LinkMD with registers {42, 43, 45} on port 2:
1. Disable auto MDI/MDI-X by writing a ‘1’ to register 45, bit [2] to enable manual control over the differential pair
used to transmit the LinkMD pulse.

2. Start cable diagnostic test by writing a ‘1’ to register 42, bit [4]. This enable bit is self-clearing.
3. Wait (poll) for register 42, bit [4] to return a ‘0’, indicating cable diagnostic test is complete.
4. Read cable diagnostic test results in register 42, bits [6:5]. The results are as follows:
00 = normal condition (valid test)
01 = open condition detected in cable (valid test)
10 = short condition detected in cable (valid test)
11 = cable diagnostic test failed (invalid test)
The ‘11’ case, invalid test, occurs when KSZ8863MLL/FLL/RLL is unable to shut down the link partner. In this instance,
the test is not run because it is impossible for KSZ8863MLL/FLL/RLL to determine if the detected signal is a reflection
of the signal generated or a signal from another source.
5. Get the distance to fault by concatenating register 42, bit [0] and register 43, bits [7:0]; and multiplying the result
by a constant of 0.4. The distance to the cable fault can be determined by the following formula:
EQUATION 3-1:
Concatenated values of registers 42 and 43 are converted to decimal before multiplying by 0.4.
The constant (0.4) may be calibrated for different cabling conditions, including cables with a velocity of propagation that
varies significantly from the norm.
3.2 Power Management
KSZ8863MLL/FLL/RLL supports enhanced power management feature in low power state with energy detection to
ensure low-power dissipation during device idle periods. There are five operation modes under the power management
function, which is controlled by two bits in register 195 (0xC3) and one bit in register 29 (0x1D), 45(0x2D) as shown
below:
• Register 195 bit [1:0] = 00 Normal Operation Mode
• Register 195 bit [1:0] = 01 Energy Detect Mode
• Register 195 bit [1:0] = 10 Soft Power Down Mode
• Register 195 bit [1:0] = 11 Power Saving Mode
• Register 29, 45 bit 3 = 1 Port Based Power Down Mode
Table 3-3 indicates all internal function blocks status under four different power management operation modes.
3.2.1 NORMAL OPERATION MODE
This is the default setting bit [1:0] = 00 in register 195 after the chip power-up or hardware reset. When KSZ8863MLL/
FLL/RLL is in this normal operation mode, all PLL clocks are running, PHY and MAC are on, and the host interface is
ready for CPU read or write.

KSZ8863MLL/FLL/RLL
During the normal operation mode, the host CPU can set the bit [1:0] in register 195 to transit the current normal oper-
ation mode to any one of the other three power management operation modes.
3.2.2 POWER SAVING MODE
The power saving mode is entered when auto-negotiation mode is enabled, cable is disconnected, and bit [1:0] = 11 in
register 195 is set. When KSZ8863MLL/FLL/RLL is in this mode, all PLL clocks are enabled, MAC is on, all internal reg-
ister values are not changed, and the host interface is ready for CPU read or write. In this mode, it mainly controls the
PHY transceiver on or off based on line status to achieve power saving. The PHY remains transmitting and only turns
off the unused receiver block. Once the activity resumes due to plugging a cable or attempting by the far end to establish
a link, KSZ8863MLL/FLL/RLL can automatically enable the PHY power-up to normal power state from power saving
mode.
During the power saving mode, the host CPU can set bit [1:0] = 0 in register 195 to transit the current power saving
mode to any one of the other three power management operation modes.
3.2.3 ENERGY DETECT MODE
The energy detect mode provides a mechanism to save more power than in the normal operation mode when
KSZ8863MLL/FLL/RLL is not connected to an active link partner. In this mode, the device saves up to 87% of the power.
If the cable is not plugged, KSZ8863MLL/FLL/RLL can automatically enter a low-power state, that is, the energy detect
mode. In this mode, KSZ8863MLL/FLL/RLL keeps transmitting 120 ns width pulses at a rate of 1 pulse/second. Once
the activity resumes due to plugging a cable or attempting by the far end to establish a link, KSZ8863MLL/FLL/RLL can
automatically power up to normal power state in energy detect mode.
Energy detect mode consists of two states: normal power state and low power state. In low power state, KSZ8863MLL/
FLL/RLL reduces the power consumption by disabling all circuitries except the energy detect circuitry of the receiver.
The energy detect mode is entered by setting bit [1:0] = 01 in register 195. When KSZ8863MLL/FLL/RLL is in this mode,
it monitors the cable energy. If there is no energy on the cable for a time longer than the pre-configured value at bit [7:0]
Go-Sleep time in register 196, KSZ8863MLL/FLL/RLL goes into a low power state. When KSZ8863MLL/FLL/RLL is in
low power state, it keeps monitoring the cable energy. Once the energy is detected from the cable, KSZ8863MLL/FLL/
RLL enters the normal power state. When KSZ8863MLL/FLL/RLL is in the normal power state, it can transmit or receive
packet from the cable.
It saves about 87% of the power when the MII interface is in PHY mode (register 53 bit 7 = 0), pin SMTXER3/MII_LINK_3
is connected to High, register 195 bit [1:0] = 01, bit 2 = 1(Disable PLL), and no cables are connected.
3.2.4 SOFT POWER DOWN MODE
The soft power down mode is entered by setting bit [1:0] = 10 in register 195. When KSZ8863MLL/FLL/RLL is in this
mode, all PLL clocks are disabled, PHY and MAC are off, and all internal register values are not changed. When the
host set bit [1:0] = 00 in register 195, this device reverts from current soft power down mode to normal operation mode.
3.2.5 PORT-BASED POWER DOWN MODE
In addition, KSZ8863MLL/FLL/RLL features a per-port power down mode. To save power, a PHY port that is not in use
can be powered down via the port control register 29 or 45 bit 3, or the MIIM PHY register. It saves about 15 mA per port.
3.3 MAC and Switch
3.3.1 ADDRESS LOOKUP
The internal lookup table stores MAC addresses and their associated information. It contains a 1K unicast address table
plus switching information.
KSZ8863MLL/FLL/RLL is guaranteed to learn 1K addresses and distinguishes itself from hash-based lookup tables,
which depending on the operating environment and probabilities, may not guarantee the absolute number of addresses
it can learn.
3.3.2 LEARNING
The internal lookup engine updates its table with a new entry if the following conditions are met:
• The received packet's Source Address (SA) does not exist in the lookup table.
• The received packet is good; the packet has no receiving errors and is of legal length.
KSZ8863MLL/FLL/RLL
DS00002335B-page 18 2017 Microchip Technology Inc.
The lookup engine inserts the qualified SA into the table, along with the port number and time stamp. If the table is full,
the last entry of the table is deleted to make room for the new entry.
3.3.3 MIGRATION
The internal lookup engine also monitors whether a station has moved. If a station has moved, it updates the table
accordingly. Migration happens when the following conditions are met:
• The received packet’s SA is in the table, but the associated source port information is different.
• The received packet is good; the packet has no receiving errors and is of legal length.
The lookup engine updates the existing record in the table with the new source port information.
3.3.4 AGING
The lookup engine updates the time stamp information of a record whenever the corresponding SA appears. The time
stamp is used in the aging process. If a record is not updated for a period of time, the lookup engine removes the record
from the table. The lookup engine constantly performs the aging process and continuously removes aging records. The
aging period is about 200 seconds. This feature can be enabled or disabled through register 3 (0x03) bit [2].
3.3.5 FORWARDING
KSZ8863MLL/FLL/RLL forwards packets using the algorithm that is depicted in the following flowcharts. Figure 3-4
shows stage one of the forwarding algorithm, where the search engine looks up the VLAN ID, static table, and dynamic
table for the destination address, and comes up with “port to forward 1” (PTF1). PTF1 is then further modified by span-
ning tree, IGMP snooping, port mirroring, and port VLAN processes to come up with “port to forward 2” (PTF2), as
shown in Figure 3-5. The packet is sent to PTF2.

KSZ8863MLL/FLL/RLL
KSZ8863MLL/FLL/RLL does not forward the following packets:
1. Error packets: These include framing errors, Frame Check Sequence (FCS) errors, alignment errors, and illegal
size packet errors.
2. IEEE802.3x PAUSE frames: KSZ8863MLL/FLL/RLL intercepts these packets and performs full duplex flow con-
trol accordingly.
3. “Local” packets: Based on destination address (DA) lookup. If the destination port from the lookup table matches
the port from which the packet originated, the packet is defined as local.
3.3.6 SWITCHING ENGINE
KSZ8863MLL/FLL/RLL features a high-performance switching engine to move data to and from the MAC’s packet buf-
fers. It operates in store and forward mode, while the efficient switching mechanism reduces overall latency.
The switching engine has a 32-kb internal frame buffer. This buffer pool is shared among all three ports. There are a
total of 256 buffers available. Each buffer is sized at 128 bytes.
3.3.7 MAC OPERATION
KSZ8863MLL/FLL/RLL strictly abides by IEEE 802.3 standards to maximize compatibility.
3.3.7.1 Inter Packet Gap (IPG)
If a frame is successfully transmitted, the 96 bits time IPG is measured between the two consecutive MTXEN. If the
current packet is experiencing collision, the 96 bits time IPG is measured from MCRS and the next MTXEN.
3.3.7.2 Back-Off Algorithm
KSZ8863MLL/FLL/RLL implements the IEEE 802.3 standard for the binary exponential back-off algorithm and the
optional “aggressive mode” back-off. After 16 collisions, the packet is optionally dropped depending on the switch con-
figuration for register 4 (0x04) bit [3].

DS00002335B-page 20 2017 Microchip Technology Inc.
3.3.7.3 Late Collision
If a transmit packet experiences collisions after 512 bit times of the transmission, the packet is dropped.
3.3.7.4 Illegal Frames
KSZ8863MLL/FLL/RLL discards frames less than 64 bytes and can be programmed to accept frames up to 1518 bytes,
1536 bytes, or 1916 bytes. These maximum frame size settings are programmed in register 4 (0x04). Since
KSZ8863MLL/FLL/RLL supports VLAN tags, the maximum sizing is adjusted when these tags are present.
3.3.7.5 Full-Duplex Flow Control
KSZ8863MLL/FLL/RLL supports the standard IEEE 802.3x flow control frames on both transmit and receive sides.
On the receive side, if KSZ8863MLL/FLL/RLL receives a pause control frame, KSZ8863MLL/FLL/RLL does not transmit
the next normal frame until the timer, specified in the pause control frame, expires. If another pause frame is received
before the current timer expires, the timer is updated with the new value in the second pause frame. During this period
(while it is flow controlled), only flow control packets from KSZ8863MLL/FLL/RLL are transmitted.
On the transmit side, KSZ8863MLL/FLL/RLL has intelligent and efficient ways to determine when to invoke flow control.
The flow control is based on availability of the system resources, including available buffers, available transmit queues
and available receive queues.
KSZ8863MLL/FLL/RLL will flow control a port that has just received a packet if the destination port resource is busy.
KSZ8863MLL/FLL/RLL issues a flow control frame (XOFF) containing the maximum pause time defined by the IEEE
802.3x standard. Once the resource is freed up, KSZ8863MLL/FLL/RLL sends out the other flow control frame (XON)
with zero pause time to turn off the flow control (turn on transmission to the port). A hysteresis feature is provided to
prevent the flow control mechanism from being constantly activated and deactivated.
KSZ8863MLL/FLL/RLL flow controls all ports if the receive queue becomes full.
3.3.7.6 Half-Duplex Backpressure
A half-duplex backpressure option (not in IEEE 802.3 standards) is also provided. The activation and deactivation con-
ditions are the same as a full-duplex flow control. If backpressure is required, KSZ8863MLL/FLL/RLL sends preambles
to defer the other stations' transmission (carrier sense deference).
To avoid jabber and excessive deference (as defined in the IEEE 802.3 standard), after a certain time, KSZ8863MLL/
FLL/RLL discontinues the carrier sense and then raises it again quickly. This short silent time (no carrier sense) prevents
other stations from sending out packets, thus keeping other stations in a carrier sense deferred state. If the port has
packets to send during a backpressure situation, the carrier sense type backpressure is interrupted and those packets
are transmitted instead. If there are no additional packets to send, carrier sense type backpressure is activated again
until switch resources free up. If a collision occurs, the binary exponential back-off algorithm is skipped and carrier sense
is generated immediately, thus reducing the chance of further collisions and maintaining carrier sense to prevent packet
reception.
To ensure that no packet is lost in 10BASE-T or 100BASE-TX half-duplex modes, the user must enable the following:
• Aggressive back-off (register 3 (0x03), bit [0])
• No excessive collision drop (register 4 (0x04), bit [3])
Note that these bits are not set as defaults because it is not the IEEE standard.
3.3.7.7 Broadcast Storm Protection
KSZ8863MLL/FLL/RLL has an intelligent option to protect the switch system from receiving too many broadcast pack-
ets. As the broadcast packets are forwarded to all ports except the source port, an excessive number of switch
resources (bandwidth and available space in transmit queues) may be utilized. KSZ8863MLL/FLL/RLL can opt to
include “multicast packets” for storm control. The broadcast storm rate parameters are programmed globally and can
be enabled or disabled on a per-port basis. The rate is based on a 67 ms interval for 100BT and a 500 ms interval for
10BT. At the beginning of each interval, the counter is cleared to zero, and the rate limit mechanism starts to count the
number of bytes during the interval. The rate definition is described in register 6 (0x06) and 7 (0x07). The default setting
is 0x63 (99 decimal). This is equal to a rate of 1%, calculated as follows:
148,800 frames/sec × 67 ms/interval × 1% = 99 frames/interval (approx.) = 0x63
Note: The 148,800 frames/sec is based on 64-byte block of packets in 100BASE-TX with 12 bytes of IPG and 8 bytes
of preamble between two packets.

KSZ8863MLL/FLL/RLL
3.3.7.8 Port Individual MAC Address and Source Port Filtering
KSZ8863MLL/FLL/RLL provides individual MAC address for port 1 and port 2. They can be set at registers 142-147 and
148-153. The packet is filtered if its source address matches the MAC address of port 1 or port 2 when register 21 and
37 bit 6 is set to 1, respectively. For example, the packet is dropped after it completes the loop of a ring network.
3.3.8 MII INTERFACE OPERATION
The Media Independent Interface (MII) is specified in Clause 22 of the IEEE 802.3u standard. It provides a common
interface between physical layer and MAC layer devices. The MII provided by KSZ8863MLL/FLL is connected to the
device’s third MAC; the MII default is PHY mode and can be set to MAC mode with the register 53 bit 7. The interface
contains two distinct groups of signals: one for transmission and the other for reception. Ta b l e 3 - 4 describes the signals
used by the MII bus.
The MII operates in either PHY mode or MAC mode. The data interface is nibble-wide and runs at ¼ the network bit rate
(not encoded). Additional signals on the transmit side indicate when data is valid or when an error occurs during trans-
mission. Similarly, the receive side has signals that convey when the data is valid and without physical layer errors. For
half-duplex operation, the SCOL signal indicates if a collision has occurred during transmission.
KSZ8863MLL/FLL does not provide the MRXER signal for PHY mode operation, and the MTXER signal for MAC mode
operation. Normally, MRXER indicates a receive error coming from the physical layer device and MTXER indicates a
transmit error from the MAC device. Because the switch filters error frames, these MII error signals are not used by
KSZ8863MLL/FLL. So, for PHY mode operation, if the device interfacing with KSZ8863MLL/FLL has an MRXER input
pin, it needs to be tied low. And, for MAC mode operation, if the device interfacing with KSZ8863MLL/FLL has an
MTXER input pin, it also needs to be tied low.
KSZ8863MLL/FLL provides a bypass feature in the MII PHY mode. Pin SMTXER3/MII_LINK is used for MII link status.
If the host is powered down, pin MII_LINK goes to high. In this case, no new ingress frames from port 1 or port 2 are
sent out through port 3, and the frames for port 3 already in packet memory are flushed out.
3.3.9 RMII INTERFACE OPERATION
The Reduced Media Independent Interface (RMII) specifies a low pin count Media Independent Interface (MII). RMII
provides a common interface between physical layer and MAC layer devices, and has the following key characteristics:
• Ports 10 Mbps and 100 Mbps data rates
• Uses a single 50 MHz clock reference (provided internally or externally)

• Provides independent 2-bit wide (di-bit) transmit and receive data paths
• Contains two distinct groups of signals: one for transmission and the other for reception
When EN_REFCLKO_3 is high, KSZ8863RLL outputs a 50 MHz in REFCLKO_3. Register 198 bit [3] is used to select
the internal or external reference clock. Internal reference clock means that the clock for the RMII of KSZ8863RLL is
provided by KSZ8863RLL internally and the REFCLKI_3 pin is unconnected. For the external reference clock, the clock
provides to KSZ8863RLL via REFCLKI_3.
If KSZ8863RLL does not provide the reference clock, this 50 MHz reference clock with divide-by-2 (25 MHz) has to be
used in X1 pin instead of the 25 MHz crystal, since the clock skew of these two clock sources impacts the RMII timing
before Rev A3 part. The Rev A3 part can connect the external 50 MHz reference clock to X1 pin and SMTXC3/REF-
CLKI_3 pins directly with strap pins of pin 17 SMTXD33/EN_REFCLKO_3 and pin 18 SMTXD32 to be pulled down.
The RMII provided by KSZ8863RLL is connected to the device’s third MAC and complies with the RMII Specification.
Table 3-6 describes the signals that the RMII bus is using. Refer to RMII Specification for full detail on the signal descrip-
tion.

KSZ8863MLL/FLL/RLL
KSZ8863RLL filters error frames and, thus, does not implement the RX_ER output signal. To detect error frames from
RMII PHY devices, the SMTXER3 input signal of KSZ8863RLL is connected to the RXER output signal of the RMII PHY
device.
Collision detection is implemented in accordance with the RMII Specification.
In RMII mode, the MII signals (SMTXD3 [3:2] and SMTXER3) can be floating if they are used as default strap options.
The KSZ8863RLL RMII can interface with RMII PHY and RMII MAC devices. The latter allows two KSZ8863RLL
devices to be connected back-to-back. Table 3-7 shows the KSZ8863RLL RMII pin connections with an external RMII
PHY and an external RMII MAC, such as another KSZ8863RLL device.
3.3.10 MII MANAGEMENT (MIIM) INTERFACE
KSZ8863MLL/FLL/RLL supports the IEEE 802.3 MII Management Interface, also known as the Management Data
Input/Output (MDIO) Interface. This interface allows upper-layer devices to monitor and control the states of
KSZ8863MLL/FLL/RLL. An external device with MDC/MDIO capability is used to read the PHY status or configure the
PHY settings. For further detail on the MIIM interface, see Clause 22.2.4.5 of the IEEE 802.3u Specification, and refer
to 802.3 section 22.3.4 for the timing.
The MIIM interface consists of the following:
• A physical connection that incorporates the data line (SDA_MDIO) and the clock line (SCL_MDC)
• A specific protocol that operates across the aforementioned physical connection that allows an external controller
to communicate with the KSZ8863MLL/FLL/RLL device
• Access to a set of eight 16-bit registers, consisting of six standard MIIM registers [0:5] and two custom MIIM regis-
ters [29, 31]
The MIIM interface can operate up to a maximum clock speed of 5 MHz.
Table 3-8 depicts the MII Management Interface frame format.

3.3.11 SERIAL MANAGEMENT INTERFACE (SMI)
The SMI is the KSZ8863MLL/FLL/RLL non-standard MIIM interface that provides access to all KSZ8863MLL/FLL/RLL
configuration registers. This interface allows an external device to completely monitor and control the states of
KSZ8863MLL/FLL/RLL.
The SMI interface consists of the following:
• A physical connection that incorporates the data line (SDA_MDIO) and the clock line (SCL_MDC)
• A specific protocol that operates across the aforementioned physical connection that allows an external controller
to communicate with the KSZ8863MLL/FLL/RLL device
• Access to all KSZ8863MLL/FLL/RLL configuration registers. Register access includes the Global, Port, and
Advanced Control Registers 0-198 (0x00 – 0xC6), and indirect access to the standard MIIM registers [0:5] and
custom MIIM registers [29, 31].
Table 3-9 depicts the SMI frame format.
SMI register read access is selected when OP Code is set to “00” and bit 4 of the PHY address is set to ‘1’. SMI register
write access is selected when OP Code is set to “00” and bit 4 of the PHY address is set to ‘0’. PHY address bit [3] is
undefined for SMI register access, and hence can be set to either ‘0’ or ‘1’ in read or write operations.
To access the KSZ8873MLL/FLL/RLL registers 0-196 (0x00 – 0xC6), the following applies:
• PHYAD[2:0] and REGAD[4:0] are concatenated to form the 8-bit address; that is, {PHYAD[2:0], REGAD[4:0]} =
bits [7:0] of the 8-bit address.
• TA bits [1:0] are ‘Z0’ that means the processor MDIO pin is changed to input Hi-Z from output mode and the fol-
lowing ‘0’ is the read response from the device.
• TA bits [1:0] are set to ‘10’ when write registers.
• Registers are 8 data bits wide.
- For read operation, data bits [15:8] are read back as 0’s.
- For write operation, data bits [15:8] are not defined, and hence can be set to either ‘0’ or ‘1’.
The SMI register access is the same as the MIIM register access, except for the register access requirements presented
in this section.
3.4 Advanced Switch Functions
3.4.1 BYPASS MODE
KSZ8863MLL/FLL/RLL also offers a bypass mode that enables system-level power saving. When the CPU (connected
to port 3) enters a power saving mode of power down or sleeping mode, the CPU can control pin 24 SMTXER3/
MII_LINK_3, which can be tied high so that KSZ8863MLL/FLL/RLL detects this change and automatically switches to
the bypass mode. In this mode, the switch function between port 1 and port 2 is sustained. The packets with DA to port
3 are dropped and bypass the internal buffer memory, making the buffer memory more efficient for data transfer between
port 1 and port 2.

KSZ8863MLL/FLL/RLL
3.4.2 IEEE 802.1Q VLAN SUPPORT
KSZ8863MLL/FLL/RLL supports 16 active VLANs out of the 4096 possible VLANs specified in the IEEE 802.1Q spec-
ification. KSZ8863MLL/FLL/RLL provides a 16-entries VLAN table that converts the 12-bits VLAN ID (VID) to the 4-bits
Filter ID (FID) for address lookup. If a non-tagged or null-VID-tagged packet is received, the ingress port default VID is
used for lookup. In VLAN mode, the lookup process starts with VLAN Table lookup to determine whether the VID is valid.
If the VID is not valid, the packet is dropped and its address is not learned. If the VID is valid, the FID is retrieved for
further lookup. The FID and Destination Address (FID+DA) are used to determine the destination port. The FID and
Source Address (FID+SA) are used for address learning.
Advanced VLAN features, such as “Ingress VLAN filtering” and “Discard Non PVID packets,” are also supported by
KSZ8863MLL/FLL/RLL. These features can be set on a per-port basis and are defined in register 18, 34, and 50 for
ports 1, 2, and 3, respectively.
3.4.3 QOS PRIORITY SUPPORT
KSZ8863MLL/FLL/RLL provides Quality of Service (QoS) for applications such as VoIP and video conferencing. Offer-
ing four priority queues per port, the per-port transmit queue can be split into four priority queues: Queue 3 is the highest
priority queue and Queue 0 is the lowest priority queue. Bit [0] of registers 16, 32, and 48 is used to enable split transmit
queues for ports 1, 2, and 3, respectively. If a port's transmit queue is not split, high priority and low priority packets have
equal priority in the transmit queue.
There is an additional option to either always deliver high priority packets first or use weighted fair queuing for the four
priority queues. This global option is set and explained in bit [3] of register 5.
3.4.4 PORT-BASED PRIORITY
With port-based priority, each ingress port is individually classified as a high priority receiving port. All packets received
at the high-priority receiving port are marked as high priority and are sent to the high-priority transmit queue if the cor-
responding transmit queue is split. Bits [4:3] of registers 16, 32, and 48 are used to enable port-based priority for ports
1, 2, and 3, respectively.
3.4.5 802.1P-BASED PRIORITY
For 802.1p-based priority, KSZ8863MLL/FLL/RLL examines the ingress (incoming) packets to determine whether they
are tagged. If tagged, the 3-bit priority field in the VLAN tag is retrieved and compared against the “priority mapping”
value, as specified by the registers 12 and 13. The “priority mapping” value is programmable.

Figure 3-6 illustrates how the 802.1p priority field is embedded in the 802.1Q VLAN tag.
The 802.1p-based priority is enabled with bit [5] of registers 16, 32, and 48 for ports 1, 2, and 3, respectively.
KSZ8863MLL/FLL/RLL provides the option to insert or remove the header of the priority tagged frame at each individual
egress port. This header, consisting of the 2 bytes VLAN Protocol ID (VPID) and the 2-byte Tag Control Information field
(TCI), is also referred to as the IEEE 802.1Q VLAN tag.
Tag Insertion is enabled by bit [2] of the port registers control 0 and the register 194 to select which source port (ingress
port) PVID can be inserted on the egress port for ports 1, 2, and 3, respectively. At the egress port, untagged packets
are tagged with the ingress port’s default tag. The default tags are programmed in register sets {19,20}, {35,36}, and
{51,52} for ports 1, 2, and 3, respectively; and the source port VID has to be inserted at selected egress ports by bit [5:0]
of register 194. KSZ8863MLL/FLL/RLL does not add tags to already tagged packets.
Tag Removal is enabled by bit [1] of registers 16, 32, and 48 for ports 1, 2, and 3, respectively. At the egress port, tagged
packets will have their 802.1Q VLAN Tags removed. KSZ8863MLL/FLL/RLL does not modify untagged packets.
The CRC is recalculated for both tag insertion and tag removal.
The 802.1p Priority Field Re-mapping is a QoS feature that allows KSZ8863MLL/FLL/RLL to set the “User Priority Ceil-
ing” at any ingress port. If the ingress packet’s priority field has a higher priority value than the default tag’s priority field
of the ingress port, the packet’s priority field is replaced with the default tag’s priority field.
3.4.6 DIFFSERV-BASED PRIORITY
DiffServ-based priority uses the ToS registers (registers 96 to 111) in the Advanced Control Registers section. The ToS
priority control registers implement a fully decoded, 64-bit Differentiated Services Code Point (DSCP) register to deter-
mine packet priority from the 6-bit ToS field in the IP header. When the most significant 6 bits of the ToS field are fully
decoded, the resultant of the 64 possibilities is compared with the corresponding bits in the DSCP register to determine
priority.
3.5 Spanning Tree Support
To support spanning tree, port 3 is designated as the processor port.
The other ports (port 1 and port 2) can be configured in one of the five spanning tree states via “transmit enable,” “receive
enable,” and “learning disable” register settings in registers 18 and 34 for ports 1 and 2, respectively. Tab l e 3 - 1 2 shows
the port setting and software actions taken for each of the five spanning tree states.

3.6 Rapid Spanning Tree Support
There are three operational states of the Discarding, Learning, and Forwarding assigned to each port for RSTP:
Discarding ports do not participate in the active topology and do not learn MAC addresses.
Discarding state: The state includes three states of the disable, blocking, and listening of STP.
Port setting: “transmit enable = 0, receive enable = 0, learning disable = 1"
Software action: The processor should not send any packets to the port. The switch may still send specific packets to
the processor (packets that match some entries in the static table with “overriding bit” set), and the processor should
discard those packets. When disabling the port’s learning capability (learning disable=’1’), set the register 2 bit 5 and bit
4 flushes rapidly the port related entries in the dynamic MAC table and static MAC table.
Note: The processor is connected to port 3 via the MII interface. Address learning is disabled on the port in this state.
Ports in Learning states learn MAC addresses, but do not forward user traffic.
Learning state: Only packets to and from the processor are forwarded. Learning is enabled.
Port setting: “transmit enable = 0, receive enable = 0, learning disable = 0”
TABLE 3-12: SPANNING TREE STATES
Disable State Port Setting Software Action
The port should not for-
ward or receive any pack-
ets. Learning is disabled.
“transmit enable = 0,
receive enable = 0,
learning disable =1”
The processor should not send any packets to the port. The
switch may still send specific packets to the processor (packets
that match some entries in the “static MAC table” with “overrid-
ing bit” set) and the processor should discard those packets.
Address learning is disabled on the port in this state.
Blocking State Port Setting Software Action
Only packets to the pro-
cessor are forwarded.
Learning is disabled.
“transmit enable = 0,
receive enable = 0,
learning disable =1”
The processor should not send any packets to the port(s) in
this state. The processor should program the “Static MAC
table” with the entries that it needs to receive (for example,
BPDU packets). The “overriding” bit should also be set so that
the switch will forward those specific packets to the processor.
Address learning is disabled on the port in this state.
Listening State Port Setting Software Action
Only packets to and from
the processor are for-
warded. Learning is dis-
abled.
“transmit enable = 0,
receive enable = 0,
learning disable =1”
The processor should program the “Static MAC table” with the
entries that it needs to receive (for example, BPDU packets).
The “overriding” bit should be set so that the switch will forward
those specific packets to the processor. The processor may
send packets to the port(s) in this state. See Section 3.7, "Tail
Tagging Mode" for details. Address learning is disabled on the
port in this state.
Learning State Port Setting Software Action
Only packets to and from
the processor are for-
warded. Learning is
enabled.
“transmit enable = 0,
receive enable = 0,
learning disable = 0”
The processor should program the “Static MAC table” with the
entries that it needs to receive (for example, BPDU packets).
The “overriding” bit should be set so that the switch will forward
those specific packets to the processor. The processor may
send packets to the port(s) in this state. See Section 3.7, "Tail
Tagging Mode" for details. Address learning is enabled on the
port in this state.
Forwarding State Port Setting Software Action
Packets are forwarded and
received normally. Learn-
ing is enabled.
“transmit enable = 1,
receive enable = 1,
learning disable = 0”
The processor programs the “Static MAC table” with the entries
that it needs to receive (for example, BPDU packets). The
“overriding” bit is set so that the switch forwards those specific
packets to the processor. The processor can send packets to
the port(s) in this state. See Section 3.7, "Tail Tagging Mode"
for details. Address learning is enabled on the port in this state.
KSZ8863MLL/FLL/RLL
DS00002335B-page 28 2017 Microchip Technology Inc.
Software action: The processor should program the static MAC table with the entries that it needs to receive (for exam-
ple, BPDU packets). The “overriding” bit should be set so that the switch forwards those specific packets to the proces-
sor. The processor may send packets to the port(s) in this state, see Section 3.7, "Tail Tagging Mode" for details.
Address learning is enabled on the port in this state.
Ports in Forwarding states fully participate in both data forwarding and MAC learning.
Forwarding state: Packets are forwarded and received normally. Learning is enabled.
Port setting: “transmit enable = 1, receive enable = 1, learning disable = 0”
Software action: The processor should program the static MAC table with the entries that it needs to receive (for exam-
ple, BPDU packets). The “overriding” bit should be set so that the switch forwards those specific packets to the proces-
sor. The processor may send packets to the port(s) in this state, see Section 3.7, "Tail Tagging Mode" for details.
Address learning is enabled on the port in this state.
RSTP uses only one type of BPDU called RSTP BPDUs, which are similar to STP Configuration BPDUs with the excep-
tion of a type field set to “version 2” for RSTP and “version 0” for STP, and a flag field carrying additional information.
3.7 Tail Tagging Mode
The Tail Tag is only seen and used by the port 3 interface, which should be connected to a processor. It is an effective
way to retrieve the ingress port information for spanning tree protocol IGMP snooping and other applications. Bit 1 and
bit 0 in the one byte tail tagging is used to indicate the source or destination port in port 3. Bit 3 and bit 2 are used for
the priority setting of the ingress frame in port 3. Other bits are not used. The Tail Tag feature is enabled by setting reg-
ister 3 bit 6.

KSZ8863MLL/FLL/RLL
3.8 IGMP Su pport
For Internet Group Management Protocol (IGMP) support in layer 2, KSZ8863MLL/FLL/RLL provides two components:
3.8.1 IGMP SNOOPING
KSZ8863MLL/FLL/RLL traps IGMP packets and forwards them only to the processor (port 3). The IGMP packets are
identified as IP packets (either Ethernet IP packets, or IEEE 802.3 SNAP IP packets) with IP version = 0x4 and protocol
version number = 0x2.
3.8.2 IGMP SEND BACK TO THE SUBSCRIBED PORT
Once the host responds to the received IGMP packet, the host should knows the original IGMP ingress port and send
back the IGMP packet to this port only. Otherwise this IGMP packet is broadcasted to all ports to downgrade the perfor-
mance.
Enabling the tail tag mode, the host will know the IGMP packet received port from tail tag bits [0] and can send back the
response IGMP packet to this subscribed port by setting the bits [1,0] in the tail tag. Enable “Tail tag mode” by setting
register 3 bit 6. The tail tag is removed automatically when the IGMP packet is sent out from the subscribed port.
3.9 Port Mirroring Support
KSZ8863MLL/FLL/RLL supports “Port Mirroring” as follows:
• “Receive only” mirror on a port
- All packets received on the port are mirrored on the sniffer port. For example, port 1 is programmed as the
“receive sniff” and port 3 is programmed as the “sniffer port.” A packet received on port 1 is destined to port 2
after the internal lookup. KSZ8863MLL/FLL/RLL forwards the packet to both port 2 and port 3. KSZ8863MLL/
FLL/RLL can also optionally forward “bad” received packets to the “sniffer port.”
• “Transmit only” mirror on a port
- All packets transmitted on the port are mirrored on the sniffer port. For example, port 1 is programmed as the
“transmit sniff” and port 3 is programmed as the “sniffer port.” A packet received on port 2 is destined to port 1
after the internal lookup. KSZ8863MLL/FLL/RLL forwards the packet to both port 1 and port 3.
• “Receive and transmit” mirror on two ports
- All packets received on port A and transmitted on port B are mirrored on the sniffer port. To turn on the “AND”
feature, set register 5 bit [0] to ‘1’. For example, port 1 is programmed as the “receive sniff,” port 2 is pro-
grammed as the “transmit sniff,” and port 3 is programmed as the “sniffer port.” A packet received on port 1 is
destined to port 2 after the internal lookup. KSZ8863MLL/FLL/RLL forwards the packet to both port 2 and port
3.
Multiple ports can be selected as the “receive sniff” or the “transmit sniff.” In addition, any port can be selected as the
“sniffer port.” All these per-port features can be selected through registers 17, 33, and 49 for ports 1, 2, and 3, respec-
tively.
3.10 Rate Limiting Support
KSZ8863MLL/FLL/RLL provides a fine resolution hardware rate limiting from 64 kbps to 99 Mbps. The rate step is
64 kbps when the rate range is from 64 kbps to 960 kbps, and 1 Mbps for 1 Mbps to 100 Mbps (100BT) or to 10 Mbps
(10BT) (refer to Data Rate Limit Table). The rate limit is independent on the “receive side” and on the “transmit side” on
a per-port basis. For 10BASE-T, a rate setting above 10 Mbps means the rate is not limited. On the receive side, the
data receive rate for each priority at each port can be limited by setting up Ingress Rate Control Registers. On the trans-
mit side, the data transmit rate for each priority queue at each port can be limited by setting up Egress Rate Control
Registers. The size of each frame has options to include a minimum IFG (Inter Frame Gap) or a Preamble byte, in addi-
tion to the data field (from packet DA to FCS).
For ingress rate limiting, KSZ8863MLL/FLL/RLL provides options to selectively choose frames from all types, multicast,
broadcast, and flooded unicast frames. KSZ8863MLL/FLL/RLL counts the data rate from those selected type of frames.
Packets are dropped at the ingress port when the data rate exceeds the specified rate limit.
For egress rate limiting, the Leaky Bucket algorithm is applied to each output priority queue for shaping output traffic.
Inter frame gap is stretched on a per-frame base to generate smooth, non-burst egress traffic. The throughput of each
output priority queue is limited by the egress rate specified.
KSZ8863MLL/FLL/RLL
DS00002335B-page 30 2017 Microchip Technology Inc.
If any egress queue receives more traffic than the specified egress rate throughput, packets may be accumulated in the
output queue and packet memory. After the memory of the queue or the port is used up, packet dropping or flow control
is triggered. As a result of congestion, the actual egress rate may be dominated by flow control or dropping at the ingress
end, and may be therefore slightly less than the specified egress rate.
To reduce congestion, it is a good practice to make sure the egress bandwidth exceeds the ingress bandwidth.
3.11 Unicast MAC Address Filtering
The unicast MAC address filtering function works in conjunction with the static MAC address table. First, the static MAC
address table is used to assign a dedicated MAC address to a specific port. If a unicast MAC address is not recorded
in the static table, it is also not learned in the dynamic MAC table. KSZ8863MLL/FLL/RLL is then configured with the
option to either filter or forward unicast packets for an unknown MAC address. This option is enabled and configured in
register 14.
This function is useful in preventing the broadcast of unicast packets that could degrade the quality of the port in appli-
cations such as voice over Internet Protocol (VoIP).
3.12 Configuration Interface
KSZ8863MLL/FLL/RLL can operate as both a managed switch and an unmanaged switch.
In unmanaged mode, KSZ8863MLL/FLL/RLL is typically programmed using an EEPROM. If no EEPROM is present,
KSZ8863MLL/FLL/RLL is configured using its default register settings. Some default settings are configured via strap-
in pin options. The strap-in pins are indicated in the “Pin Description and I/O Assignment” table.
3.12.1 I2C MASTER SERIAL BUS CONFIGURATION
With an additional I2C (“2-wire”) EEPROM, KSZ8863MLL/FLL/RLL can perform more advanced switch features like
“broadcast storm protection” and “rate control” without the need of an external processor.
For the KSZ8863MLL/FLL/RLL I2C Master configuration, the EEPROM stores the configuration data for register 0 to
register 198 (as defined in the KSZ8863MLL/FLL/RLL register map) with the exception of the “Read Only” status regis-
ters. After the deassertion of reset, KSZ8863MLL/FLL/RLL sequentially reads in the configuration data for all 199 reg-
isters, starting from register 0.
The following is a sample procedure for programming KSZ8863MLL/FLL/RLL with a pre-configured EEPROM:
1. Connect KSZ8863MLL/FLL/RLL to the EEPROM by joining the SCL and SDA signals of the respective devices.
2. Enable I2C Master mode by setting the KSZ8863MLL/FLL/RLL strap-in pins, P2LED [1:0] to “00”.
3. Check to ensure that the KSZ8863MLL/FLL/RLL reset signal input (RSTN) is properly connected to the external
reset source at the board level.
4. Program the desired configuration data into the EEPROM.
5. Place the EEPROM on the board and power up the board.

KSZ8863MLL/FLL/RLL
6. Assert an active-low reset to the RSTN pin of KSZ8863MLL/FLL/RLL. After reset is deasserted, KSZ8863MLL/
FLL/RLL begins reading the configuration data from the EEPROM. KSZ8863MLL/FLL/RLL checks that the first
byte read from the EEPROM is “88”. If this value is correct, EEPROM configuration continues. If not, EEPROM
configuration access is denied and all other data sent from the EEPROM is ignored by KSZ8863MLL/FLL/RLL.
3.12.2 I2C SLAVE SERIAL BUS CONFIGURATION
In managed mode, KSZ8863MLL/FLL/RLL can be configured as an I2C Slave device. In this mode, an I2C Master
device (external controller or CPU) has complete programming access to the KSZ8863MLL/FLL/RLL’s 198 registers.
Programming access includes Global registers, Port registers, Advanced Control registers, and indirect access to the
“Static MAC Table,” “VLAN Table,” “Dynamic MAC Table,” and “MIB Counters.” The tables and counters are indirectly
accessed via registers 121 to 131.
In I2C Slave mode, KSZ8863MLL/FLL/RLL operates like other I2C Slave devices. Addressing the KSZ8863MLL/FLL/
RLL’s 8-bit registers is similar to addressing the Microchip AT24C02 EEPROM’s memory locations. Details of I2C read
or write operations and related timing information can be found in the AT24C02 data sheet.
Two fixed 8-bit device addresses are used to address KSZ8863MLL/FLL/RLL in I2C Slave mode: one for read operation
and the other for write operation. The addresses are as follows:
• 1011_1111 <read>
• 1011_1110 <write>
The following is a sample procedure for programming KSZ8863MLL/FLL/RLL using the I2C Slave serial bus:
1. Enable I2C Slave mode by setting the KSZ8863MLL/FLL/RLL strap-in pins P2LED [1:0] to “01”.
2. Power up the board and assert reset to the KSZ8863MLL/FLL/RLL device. Configure the desired register settings
in KSZ8863MLL/FLL/RLL using the I2C write operation.
3. Read back and verify the register settings in KSZ8863MLL/FLL/RLL using the I2C read operation.
Some of the configuration settings, such as “Aging Enable,” “Auto Negotiation Enable,” “Force Speed,” and “Power
down,” can be programmed after the switch has been started.
3.12.3 SPI SLAVE SERIAL BUS CONFIGURATION
In managed mode, KSZ8863MLL/FLL/RLL can be configured as an SPI slave device. In this mode, an SPI master
device (external controller or CPU) has complete programming access to the KSZ8863MLL/FLL/RLL’s 198 registers.
Programming access includes Global registers, Port registers, Advanced Control registers, and indirect access to the
“Static MAC Table,” “VLAN Table,” “Dynamic MAC Table,” and “MIB Counters”. The tables and counters are indirectly
accessed via registers 121 to 131.
KSZ8863MLL/FLL/RLL supports two standard SPI commands: ‘0000_0011’ for data read and ‘0000_0010’ for data
write. KSZ8863MLL/FLL/RLL also supports SPI multiple read and multiple write to expedite register read back and reg-
ister configuration, respectively.
SPI multiple read is initiated when the master device continues to drive the KSZ8863MLL/FLL/RLL SPISN input pin (SPI
Slave Select signal) low after a byte (a register) is read. The KSZ8863MLL/FLL/RLL internal address counter increments
automatically to the next byte (next register) after the read. The next byte at the next register address is shifted out onto
the KSZ8863MLL/FLL/RLL SPIQ output pin. SPI multiple read continues until the SPI master device terminates it by
deasserting the SPISN signal to KSZ8863MLL/FLL/RLL.
Similarly, SPI multiple write is initiated when the master device continues to drive the KSZ8863MLL/FLL/RLL SPISN
input pin low after a byte (a register) is written. The KSZ8863MLL/FLL/RLL internal address counter increments auto-
matically to the next byte (next register) after the write. The next byte that is sent from the master device to the
KSZ8863MLL/FLL/RLL SDA input pin is written to the next register address. SPI multiple write continues until the SPI
master device terminates it by deasserting the SPISN signal to KSZ8863MLL/FLL/RLL.
For both SPI multiple read and multiple write, the KSZ8863MLL/FLL/RLL internal address counter wraps back to register
address zero once the highest register address is reached. This feature allows all 198 KSZ8863MLL/FLL/RLL registers
to be read, or written with a single SPI command from any initial register address.
KSZ8863MLL/FLL/RLL can support SPI bus up to a maximum of 25 MHz. A high performance SPI master is recom-
mended to prevent internal counter overflow.
The following is a sample procedure for programming KSZ8863MLL/FLL/RLL using the SPI bus:
1. At the board level, connect the KSZ8863MLL/FLL/RLL pins as follows (Ta b l e 3 - 1 4 ):
KSZ8863MLL/FLL/RLL
DS00002335B-page 32 2017 Microchip Technology Inc.
2. Enable SPI Slave mode by setting the KSZ8863MLL/FLL/RLL strap-in pins P2LED [1:0] to “10”.
3. Power up the board and assert reset to KSZ8863MLL/FLL/RLL.
4. Configure the desired register settings in KSZ8863MLL/FLL/RLL using the SPI write or multiple write command.
5. Read back and verify the register settings in KSZ8863MLL/FLL/RLL using the SPI read or multiple read com-
mand.
Some of the configuration settings, such as “Aging Enable,” “Auto Negotiation Enable,” “Force Speed,” and “Power
Down,” can be programmed after the switch has been started.
Figure 3-9, Figure 3-10, Figure 3-11, and Figure 3-12 illustrate the SPI data cycles for “Write,” “Read,” “Multiple Write,”
and “Multiple Read.” The read data is registered out of SPIQ on the falling edge of SPIC, and the data input on SPID is
registered on the rising edge of SPIC.

3.13 Loopback Support
KSZ8863MLL/FLL/RLL provides loopback support for remote diagnostic of failure. In loopback mode, the speed at both
PHY ports must be set to 100BASE-TX. Two types of loopback are supported: Far-end Loopback and Near-end
(Remote) Loopback.

3.13.1 FAR-END LOOPBACK
Far-end loopback is conducted between KSZ8863MLL/FLL/RLL’s two PHY ports. The loopback is limited to few pack-
ages a time for diagnostic purpose and cannot support large traffic. The loopback path starts at the “Originating” PHY
port’s receive inputs (RXP/RXM), wraps around at the “loopback” PHY port’s PMD/PMA, and ends at the “Originating”
PHY port’s transmit outputs (TXP/TXM).
Bit [0] of registers 29 and 45 is used to enable far-end loopback for ports 1 and 2, respectively. Alternatively, the MII
Management register 0, bit [14] can be used to enable far-end loopback.
The far-end loopback path is illustrated in Figure 3-13.
3.13.2 NEAR-END (REMOTE) LOOPBACK
Near-end (Remote) loopback is conducted at either PHY port 1 or PHY port 2 of KSZ8863MLL/FLL/RLL. The loopback
path starts at the PHY port’s receive inputs (RXPx/RXMx), wraps around at the same PHY port’s PMD/PMA, and ends
at the PHY port’s transmit outputs (TXPx/TXMx).
Bit [1] of registers 26 and 42 is used to enable near-end loopback for ports 1 and 2, respectively. Alternatively, the MII
Management register 31, bit [1] can be used to enable near-end loopback.
The near-end loopback paths are illustrated in Figure 3-14.

4.0 REGISTER DESCRIPTIONS
4.1 MII Management (MIIM) Registers
The MIIM interface is used to access the MII PHY registers defined in this section. The SPI, I2C, and SMI interfaces can
also be used to access some of these registers. The latter three interfaces use a different mapping mechanism than the
MIIM interface.
The “PHYADs” by default are assigned “0x1” for PHY1 (port 1) and “0x2” for PHY2 (port 2). Additionally, these “PHYADs”
can be programmed to the PHY addresses specified in bits [7:3] of register 15 (0x0F): Global Control 13.
The “REGAD” supported are 0x0-0x5, 0x1D, and 0x1F.

4.5 Advanced Control Registers (Registers 96-198)
The IPv4/IPv6 TOS Priority Control Registers implement a fully decoded, 128-bit Differentiated Services Code Point
(DSCP) register set that is used to determine the priority from the Type of Service (TOS) field in the IP header. The most
significant 6 bits of the TOS field are fully decoded into 64 possibilities, and the singular code that results is compared
against the corresponding bits in the DSCP register to determine the priority.

4.6 Static MAC Address Table
KSZ8863 supports both a static and a dynamic MAC address table. In response to a Destination Address (DA) look-up,
KSZ8863 searches both tables to make a packet forwarding decision. In response to a Source Address (SA) look-up,
only the dynamic table is searched for aging, migration, and learning purposes.
The static DA look-up result takes precedence over the dynamic DA look-up result. If there is a DA match in both tables,
the result from the static table is used. The entries in the static table will not be aged out by KSZ8863.
The static table is accessed with an external processor via the SMI, SPI, or I2C interfaces. The external processor per-
forms all addition, modification, and deletion of static MAC table entries.
Examples:
1. Static Address Table Read (Read the 2nd Entry)
Write to reg. 121 (0x79) with 0x10 // Read static table selected
Write to reg. 122 (0x7A) with 0x01 // Trigger the read operation
Then,

4.7 VLAN Table
KSZ8863 uses the VLAN table to perform look-ups. If 802.1Q VLAN mode is enabled (register 5, bit 7 = 1), this table is
used to retrieve the VLAN information that is associated with the ingress packet. This information includes FID (filter ID),
VID (VLAN ID), and VLAN membership as described in Table 4-11.
If 802.1Q VLAN mode is enabled, KSZ8863 assigns a VID to every ingress packet. If the packet is untagged or tagged
with a null VID, the packet is assigned with the default port VID of the ingress port. If the packet is tagged with a non-
null VID, the VID in the tag is used. The look-up process starts from the VLAN table look-up. If the VID is not valid, the
packet are dropped and no address learning takes place. If the VID is valid, the FID is retrieved. The FID+DA and
FID+SA look-ups are performed. The FID+DA look-up determines the forwarding ports. If FID+DA fails, the packet is
broadcasted to all the members (excluding the ingress port) of the VLAN. If FID+SA fails, the FID+SA is learned.
Examples:
1. VLAN Table Read (read the 3rd entry)
Write to reg. 121 (0x79) with 0x14 // Read VLAN table selected
Write to reg. 122 (0x7A) with 0x02 // Trigger the read operation

4.9 Management Information Base (MIB) Counters
KSZ8863 provides 34 MIB counters per port. These counters are used to monitor the port activity for network manage-
ment. The MIB counters have two format groups: “Per Port” and “All Port Dropped Packet.”
“Per Port” MIB counters are read using indirect memory access. The base address offsets and address ranges for all
three ports are:
• Port 1, base is 0x00 and range is (0x00-0x1f)
• Port 2, base is 0x20 and range is (0x20-0x3f)
• Port 3, base is 0x40 and range is (0x40-0x5f)
Port 1 MIB counters are read using the indirect memory offsets in Table 4-14.

4.9.1 ADDITIONAL MIB COUNTER INFORMATION
“Per Port” MIB counters are designed as “read clear.” These counters are cleared after they are read.
“All Port Dropped Packet” MIB counters are not cleared after they are accessed and do not indicate overflow or validity;
therefore, the application must keep track of overflow and valid conditions.
To read out all the counters, the best performance over the SPI bus is (160+3) x 8 x 200 = 260 ms, where there are 160
registers, 3 overheads, 8 clocks per access, at 5 MHz. In the heaviest condition, the counters overflow in 2 minutes. It
is recommended that the software reads all the counters at least every 30 seconds.
A high performance SPI master is also recommended to prevent counters overflow.

8.0 RESET CIRCUIT
Figure 8-1 shows a reset circuit recommended for powering up the KSZ8863MLL/FLL/RLL if reset is triggered only by
the power supply.
Figure 8-2 shows a reset circuit recommended for applications where reset is driven by another device (for example,
the CPU or an FPGA). At power-on-reset, R, C, and D1 provide the necessary ramp rise time to reset the KSZ8863MLL/
FLL/RLL device. The RST_OUT_N from the CPU/FPGA provides the warm reset after power-up.

Note the following deta ils of the code protection feature on Microchip devices:
• Microchip products meet the specification contained in their particular Microchip Data Sheet.
• Microchip believes that its family of products is one of the most secure families of its kind on the market today, when used in the
intended manner and under normal conditions.
• There are dishonest and possibly illegal methods used to breach the code protection feature. All of these methods, to our
