1.0 INTRODUCTION
1.1 General Description
The KSZ8051 is an AEC-Q100 standard qualified single-supply 10BASE-T/100BASE-TX Ethernet physical-layer trans-
ceiver.
The KSZ8051 is a highly integrated PHY solution. It reduces board cost and simplifies board layout by using on-chip
termination resistors for the differential pairs and by integrating a low-noise regulator to supply the 1.2V core.
The KSZ8051MNL offers the Media Independent Interface (MII) and the KSZ8051RNL offers the Reduced Media Inde-
pendent Interface (RMII) for direct connection with MII-/RMII-compliant Ethernet MAC processors and switches.
A 25 MHz crystal is used to generate all required clocks, including the 50 MHz RMII reference clock output for the
KSZ8051RNL.
The KSZ8051 provides diagnostic features to facilitate system bring-up and debugging in production testing and in prod-
uct deployment. Parametric NAND tree support enables fault detection between KSZ8051 I/Os and the board. Microchip
LinkMD® TDR-based cable diagnostics identify faulty copper cabling.
The KSZ8051MNL and KSZ8051RNL are available in 32-pin, lead-free QFN packages.

KSZ8051MNL/RNL
The strap-in pins are latched at the de-assertion of reset. In some systems, the MAC MII receive input pins may drive
high/low during power-up or reset, and consequently cause the PHY strap-in pins on the MII signals to be latched to
unintended high/low states. In this case, external pull-ups (4.7 k) or pull-downs (1.0 k) should be added on these
PHY strap-in pins to ensure that the intended values are strapped-in correctly.

Ipd/O = Input with internal pull-down during power-up/reset; output pin otherwise.

clock period in which TXEN is asserted, two bits of data are received by the PHY from the MAC.
The strap-in pins are latched at the de-assertion of reset. In some systems, the MAC RMII receive input pins may drive
high/low during power-up or reset, and consequently cause the PHY strap-in pins on the RMII signals to be latched to
unintended high/low states. In this case, external pull-ups (4.7 k) or pull-downs (1.0 k) should be added on these
PHY strap-in pins to ensure that the intended values are strapped-in correctly.

KSZ8051MNL/RNL
3.0 FUNCTIONAL DESCRIPTION
The KSZ8051 is an integrated single 3.3V supply Fast Ethernet transceiver. It is fully compliant with the IEEE 802.3
Specification, and reduces board cost and simplifies board layout by using on-chip termination resistors for the two dif-
ferential pairs and by integrating the regulator to supply the 1.2V core.
On the copper media side, the KSZ8051 supports 10Base-T and 100Base-TX for transmission and reception of data
over a standard CAT-5 unshielded twisted pair (UTP) cable, and HP Auto MDI/MDI-X for reliable detection of and cor-
rection for straight-through and crossover cables.
On the MAC processor side, the KSZ8051MNL offers the Media Independent Interface (MII) and the KSZ8051RNL
offers the Reduced Media Independent Interface (RMII) for direct connection with MII and RMII compliant Ethernet MAC
processors and switches, respectively.
The MII management bus option gives the MAC processor complete access to the KSZ8051 control and status regis-
ters. Additionally, an interrupt pin eliminates the need for the processor to poll for PHY status change.
KSZ8051MNL/RNL is used in this data sheet to refer to both the KSZ8051MNL and the KSZ8051RNL devices.
3.1 10BASE-T/100BASE-TX Transceiver
3.1.1 100BASE-TX TRANSMIT
The 100Base-TX transmit function performs parallel-to-serial conversion, 4B/5B encoding, scrambling, NRZ-to-NRZI
conversion, 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 and 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 6.49 k 1% resistor for the 1:1 transformer ratio.
The output signal has a typical rise/fall time of 4ns 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 trans-
mitter.
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. Because 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
comparisons of incoming signal strength against some known cable characteristics, 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 com-
pensates for the effect of baseline wander and improves the dynamic range. The differential data-conversion circuit con-
verts 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 to NRZ format. This signal is sent through the de-scrambler, then the 4B/5B decoder.
Finally, the NRZ serial data is converted to MII format and provided as the input data to the MAC.
3.1.3 SCRAMBLER/DE-SCRAMBLER (100BASE-TX ONLY)
The scrambler spreads the power spectrum of the transmitted signal to reduce electromagnetic interference (EMI) and
baseline wander. The de-scrambler recovers the scrambled signal.
3.1.4 10BASE-T TRANSMIT
The 10Base-T drivers are incorporated with the 100Base-TX drivers to allow for transmission using the same magnetic.
The drivers perform internal wave-shaping and pre-emphasis, and output 10Base-T signals with a typical amplitude of
2.5V peak. The 10Base-T signals have harmonic contents that are at least 27 dB below the fundamental frequency
when driven by an all-ones Manchester-encoded signal.
KSZ8051MNL/RNL
DS00002310B-page 16 2018 Microchip Technology Inc.
3.1.5 10BASE-T RECEIVE
On the receive side, input buffer and level detecting squelch circuits are used. A differential input receiver circuit and a
phase-locked loop (PLL) performs 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 and RXM inputs from falsely triggering the decoder. When the input exceeds the squelch limit, the PLL
locks onto the incoming signal and the KSZ8051MNL/RNL decodes a data frame. The receive clock is kept active during
idle periods between data receptions.
3.1.6 SQE AND JABBER FUNCTION (10BASE-T ONLY)
In 10Base-T operation, a short pulse is put out on the COL pin after each frame is transmitted. This SQE test is needed
to test the 10Base-T transmit/receive path. If transmit enable (TXEN) is high for more than 20 ms (jabbering), the
10Base-T transmitter is disabled and COL is asserted high. If TXEN is then driven low for more than 250 ms, the
10Base-T transmitter is re-enabled and COL is de-asserted (returns to low).
3.1.7 PLL CLOCK SYNTHESIZER
The KSZ8051MNL/RNL generates all internal clocks and all external clocks for system timing from an external 25 MHz
crystal, oscillator, or reference clock. For the KSZ8051RNL in RMII 50 MHz clock mode, these clocks are generated
from an external 50 MHz oscillator or system clock.
3.1.8 AUTO-NEGOTIATION
The KSZ8051MNL/RNL conforms to the auto-negotiation protocol, defined in Clause 28 of the IEEE 802.3 specification.
Auto-negotiation allows unshielded twisted pair (UTP) link partners to select the highest common mode of operation.
During auto-negotiation, link partners advertise capabilities across the UTP link to each other and then compare their
own capabilities with those they received from their link partners. The highest speed and duplex setting that is common
to the two link partners is selected as the mode of operation.
The following list shows the speed and duplex operation mode from highest to lowest priority.
Priority 1: 100BASE-TX, full-duplex
Priority 2: 100BASE-TX, half-duplex
Priority 3: 10BASE-T, full-duplex
Priority 4: 10BASE-T, half-duplex
If auto-negotiation is not supported or the KSZ8051MNL/RNL link partner is forced to bypass auto-negotiation, then the
KSZ8051MNL/RNL sets its operating mode by observing the signal at its receiver. This is known as parallel detection,
which allows the KSZ8051MNL/RNL to establish a link by listening for a fixed signal protocol in the absence of the auto-
negotiation advertisement protocol.
Auto-negotiation is enabled by either hardware pin strapping (NWAYEN, pin 30) or software (register 0h, bit [12]).
By default, auto-negotiation is enabled after power-up or hardware reset. After that, auto-negotiation can be enabled or
disabled by register 0h, bit [12]. If auto-negotiation is disabled, the speed is set by register 0h, bit [13], and the duplex
is set by register 0h, bit [8].
The auto-negotiation link-up process is shown in Figure 3-1.

3.2 MII Data Interface (KSZ8051MNL Only)
The Media Independent Interface (MII) is compliant with the IEEE 802.3 Specification. It provides a common interface
between MII PHYs and MACs, and has the following key characteristics:
Pin count is 15 pins (6 pins for data transmission, 7 pins for data reception, and 2 pins for carrier and collision indi-
cation).
10 Mbps and 100 Mbps data rates are supported at both half- and full-duplex.
Data transmission and reception are independent and belong to separate signal groups.
Transmit data and receive data are each 4 bits wide, a nibble.
By default, the KSZ8051MNL is configured to MII mode after it is powered up or hardware reset with the following:
A 25 MHz crystal connected to XI, XO (pins 9, 8), or an external 25 MHz clock source (oscillator) connected to XI.

3.2.1 MII SIGNAL DEFINITION
Table 3-1 describes the MII signals. Refer to Clause 22 of the IEEE 802.3 Specification for detailed information.
3.2.1.1 Transmit Clock (TXC)
TXC is sourced by the PHY. It is a continuous clock that provides the timing reference for TXEN, TXD[3:0], and TXER.
TXC is 2.5 MHz for 10 Mbps operation and 25 MHz for 100 Mbps operation.
3.2.1.2 Transmit Enable (TXEN)
TXEN indicates that the MAC is presenting nibbles on TXD[3:0] for transmission. It is asserted synchronously with the
first nibble of the preamble and remains asserted while all nibbles to be transmitted are presented on the MII. It is
negated before the first TXC following the final nibble of a frame.
TXEN transitions synchronously with respect to TXC.
3.2.1.3 Transmit Data[3:0] (TXD[3:0])
TXD[3:0] transitions synchronously with respect to TXC. When TXEN is asserted, TXD[3:0] are accepted by the PHY
for transmission. TXD[3:0] is 00 to indicate idle when TXEN is de-asserted. Values other than 00 on TXD[3:0] while
TXEN is de-asserted are ignored by the PHY.
3.2.1.4 Receive Clock (RXC)
RXC provides the timing reference for RXDV, RXD[3:0], and RXER.
In 10 Mbps mode, RXC is recovered from the line while the carrier is active. When the line is idle or the link is down,
RXC is derived from the PHY’s reference clock.
In 100 Mbps mode, RXC is continuously recovered from the line. If the link is down, RXC is derived from the PHY’s
reference clock.
RXC is 2.5 MHz for 10 Mbps operation and 25 MHz for 100 Mbps operation.
3.2.1.5 Receive Data Valid (RXDV)
RXDV is driven by the PHY to indicate that the PHY is presenting recovered and decoded nibbles on RXD[3:0].
In 10 Mbps mode, RXDV is asserted with the first nibble of the start-of-frame delimiter (SFD), 5D, and remains asserted
until the end of the frame.
In 100 Mbps mode, RXDV is asserted from the first nibble of the preamble to the last nibble of the frame.
RXDV transitions synchronously with respect to RXC.

KSZ8051MNL/RNL
3.2.1.6 Receive Data[3:0] (RXD[3:0])
RXD[3:0] transitions synchronously with respect to RXC. For each clock period in which RXDV is asserted, RXD[3:0]
transfers a nibble of recovered data from the PHY.
3.2.1.7 Receive Error (RXER)
RXER is asserted for one or more RXC periods to indicate that a symbol error (for example, a coding error that a PHY
can detect that may otherwise be undetectable by the MAC sub-layer) was detected somewhere in the frame being
transferred from the PHY.
RXER transitions synchronously with respect to RXC. While RXDV is de-asserted, RXER has no effect on the MAC.
3.2.1.8 Carrier Sense (CRS)
CRS is asserted and de-asserted as follows:
In 10 Mbps mode, CRS assertion is based on the reception of valid preambles. CRS de-assertion is based on the
reception of an end-of-frame (EOF) marker.
In 100 Mbps mode, CRS is asserted when a start-of-stream delimiter or /J/K symbol pair is detected. CRS is de-
asserted when an end-of-stream delimiter or /T/R symbol pair is detected. Additionally, the PMA layer de-asserts
CRS if IDLE symbols are received without /T/R.
3.2.1.9 Collision Detection (COL)
COL is asserted in half-duplex mode whenever the transmitter and receiver are simultaneously active on the line. This
informs the MAC that a collision has occurred during its transmission to the PHY.
COL transitions asynchronously with respect to TXC and RXC.

3.3 RMII Data Interface (KSZ8051RNL Only)
The Reduced Media Independent Interface (RMII) specifies a low pin count Media Independent Interface (MII). It pro-
vides a common interface between physical layer and MAC layer devices, and has the following key characteristics:
Pin count is 8 pins (3 pins for data transmission, 4 pins for data reception, and 1 pin for the 50 MHz reference
clock).
10 Mbps and 100 Mbps data rates are supported at both half- and full-duplex.
Data transmission and reception are independent and belong to separate signal groups.
Transmit data and receive data are each 2 bits wide, a dibit.
3.3.1 RMII - 25 MHZ CLOCK MODE
The KSZ8051RNL is configured to RMII - 25 MHz clock mode after it is powered up or hardware reset with the following:
A 25 MHz crystal connected to XI, XO (pins 9, 8), or an external 25 MHz clock source (oscillator) connected to XI.
The CONFIG[2:0] strap-in pins (pins 18, 29, 28) set to 001.
Register 1Fh, bit [7] is set to 0 (default value) to select 25 MHz clock mode.
3.3.2 RMII - 50 MHZ CLOCK MODE
The KSZ8051RNL is configured to RMII - 50 MHz clock mode after it is powered up or hardware reset with the following:
An external 50 MHz clock source (oscillator) connected to XI (pin 9).
The CONFIG[2:0] strap-in pins (pins 18, 29, 28) set to 001.
Register 1Fh, bit [7] is set to 1 to select 50 MHz clock mode.
3.3.3 RMII SIGNAL DEFINITION
Table 3-2 describes the RMII signals. Refer to RMII Specification v1.2 for detailed information.
3.3.4 REFERENCE CLOCK (REF_CLK)
REF_CLK is a continuous 50 MHz clock that provides the timing reference for TXEN, TXD[1:0], CRS_DV, RXD[1:0] and
RX_ER.
For 25 MHz clock mode, the KSZ8051RNL generates and outputs the 50 MHz RMII REF_CLK to the MAC at REF_CLK
(pin 19).
For 50 MHz clock mode, the KSZ8051RNL takes in the 50 MHz RMII REF_CLK from the MAC or system board at XI
(pin 9) and leaves the REF_CLK (pin 19) as a no connect.
3.3.5 TRANSMIT ENABLE (TXEN)
TXEN indicates that the MAC is presenting dibits on TXD[1:0] for transmission. It is asserted synchronously with the first
dibit of the preamble and remains asserted while all dibits to be transmitted are presented on the RMII. It is negated
before the first REF_CLK following the final dibit of a frame.
TXEN transitions synchronously with respect to REF_CLK.

3.3.6 TRANSMIT DATA[1:0] (TXD[1:0])
TXD[1:0] transitions synchronously with respect to REF_CLK. When TXEN is asserted, the PHY accepts TXD[1:0] for
transmission.
TXD[1:0] is 00 to indicate idle when TXEN is de-asserted. The PHY ignores values other than 00 on TXD[1:0] while
TXEN is de-asserted.
3.3.7 CARRIER SENSE/RECEIVE DATA VALID (CRS_DV)
The PHY asserts CRS_DV when the receive medium is non-idle. It is asserted asynchronously when a carrier is
detected. This happens when squelch is passed in 10 Mbps mode, and when two non-contiguous 0s in 10 bits are
detected in 100 Mbps mode. Loss of carrier results in the de-assertion of CRS_DV.
While carrier detection criteria are met, CRS_DV remains asserted continuously from the first recovered dibit of the
frame through the final recovered dibit. It is negated before the first REF_CLK that follows the final dibit. The data on
RXD[1:0] is considered valid after CRS_DV is asserted. However, because the assertion of CRS_DV is asynchronous
relative to REF_CLK, the data on RXD[1:0] is 00 until receive signals are properly decoded.
3.3.8 RECEIVE DATA[1:0] (RXD[1:0])
RXD[1:0] transitions synchronously with respect to REF_CLK. For each clock period in which CRS_DV is asserted,
RXD[1:0] transfers two bits of recovered data from the PHY.
RXD[1:0] is 00 to indicate idle when CRS_DV is de-asserted. The MAC ignores values other than 00 on RXD[1:0] while
CRS_DV is de-asserted.
3.3.9 RECEIVE ERROR (RXER)
RXER is asserted for one or more REF_CLK periods to indicate that a symbol error (for example, a coding error that a
PHY can detect that may otherwise be undetectable by the MAC sub-layer) was detected somewhere in the frame being
transferred from the PHY.
RXER transitions synchronously with respect to REF_CLK. While CRS_DV is de-asserted, RXER has no effect on the
MAC.
3.3.10 COLLISION DETECTION (COL)
The MAC regenerates the COL signal of the MII from TXEN and CRS_DV.

3.5 MII Management (MIIM) Interface
The KSZ8051MNL/RNL supports the IEEE 802.3 MII management interface, also known as the Management Data
Input/Output (MDIO) interface. This interface allows an upper-layer device, such as a MAC processor, to monitor and
control the state of the KSZ8051MNL/RNL. An external device with MIIM capability is used to read the PHY status and/
or configure the PHY settings. More details about the MIIM interface can be found in Clause 22.2.4 of the IEEE 802.3
Specification.
The MIIM interface consists of the following:
A physical connection that incorporates the clock line (MDC) and the data line (MDIO).
A specific protocol that operates across the physical connection mentioned earlier, which allows the external con-
troller to communicate with one or more PHY devices.
A set of 16-bit MDIO registers. Registers [0:8] are standard registers, and their functions are defined in the IEEE
802.3 Specification. The additional registers are provided for expanded functionality. See the Register Descrip-
tions section.
As the default, the KSZ8051MNL/RNL supports unique PHY addresses 1 to 7, and broadcast PHY address 0. The latter
is defined in the IEEE 802.3 Specification, and can be used to read/write to a single KSZ8051MNL/RNL device, or write
to multiple KSZ8051MNL/RNL devices simultaneously.
PHY address 0 can optionally be disabled as the broadcast address by either hardware pin strapping (B-CAST_OFF,
pin 19) or software (Register 16h, bit [9]), and assigned as a unique PHY address.
The PHYAD[2:0] strap-in pins are used to assign a unique PHY address between 0 and 7 to each KSZ8051MNL/RNL
device.
The MIIM interface can operates up to a maximum clock speed of 10 MHz MAC clock.
Table 3-5 shows the MII management frame format for the KSZ8051MNL/RNL.

3.6 Interrupt (INTRP)
INTRP (pin 21) is an optional interrupt signal that is used to inform the external controller that there has been a status
update to the KSZ8051MNL/RNL PHY Register. Bits [15:8] of Register 1Bh are the interrupt control bits to enable and
disable the conditions for asserting the INTRP signal. Bits [7:0] of Register 1Bh are the interrupt status bits to indicate
which interrupt conditions have occurred. The interrupt status bits are cleared after reading Register 1Bh.
Bit [9] of Register 1Fh sets the interrupt level to active high or active low. The default is active low.
The MII management bus option gives the MAC processor complete access to the KSZ8051MNL/RNL control and sta-
tus registers. Additionally, an interrupt pin eliminates the need for the processor to poll the PHY for status change.
3.7 HP Auto MDI/MDI-X
HP Auto MDI/MDI-X configuration eliminates the need to decide whether to use a straight cable or a crossover cable
between the KSZ8051MNL/RNL and its link partner. This feature allows the KSZ8051MNL/RNL to use either type of
cable to connect with a link partner that is in either MDI or MDI-X mode. The auto-sense function detects transmit and
receive pairs from the link partner and assigns transmit and receive pairs to the KSZ8051MNL/RNL accordingly.
HP Auto MDI/MDI-X is enabled by default. It is disabled by writing a ‘1’ to Register 1Fh, bit [13]. MDI and MDI-X mode
is selected by Register 1Fh, bit [14] if HP Auto MDI/MDI-X is disabled.
An isolation transformer with symmetrical transmit and receive data paths is recommended to support Auto MDI/MDI-X.
Table 3-6 shows how the IEEE 802.3 Standard defines MDI and MDI-X.
3.7.1 STRAIGHT CABLE
A straight cable connects an MDI device to an MDI-X device, or an MDI-X device to an MDI device. Figure 3-6 shows
a typical straight cable connection between a NIC card (MDI device) and a switch or hub (MDI-X device).

KSZ8051MNL/RNL
3.8 Loopback Mode
The KSZ8051MNL/RNL supports the following loopback operations to verify analog and/or digital data paths.
Local (digital) loopback
Remote (analog) loopback
3.8.1 LOCAL (DIGITAL) LOOPBACK
This loopback mode checks the MII/RMII transmit and receive data paths between the KSZ8051MNL/RNL and the
external MAC, and is supported for both speeds (10/100 Mbps) at full-duplex.
The loopback data path is shown in Figure 3-8.
1. The MII/RMII MAC transmits frames to the KSZ8051MNL/RNL.
2. Frames are wrapped around inside the KSZ8051MNL/RNL.
3. The KSZ8051MNL/RNL transmits frames back to the MII/RMII MAC.
4. Except the frames back to the RMII MAC, the transmit frames also go out from the copper port.
The following programming action and register settings are used for local loopback mode:
For 10/100 Mbps loopback:
Set Register 0h,
Bit [14] = 1 // Enable local loopback mode
Bit [13] = 0/1 // Select 10 Mbps/100 Mbps speed
Bit [12] = 0 // Disable auto-negotiation
Bit [8] = 1 // Select full-duplex mode
3.8.2 REMOTE (ANALOG) LOOPBACK
This loopback mode checks the line (differential pairs, transformer, RJ-45 connector, Ethernet cable) transmit and
receive data paths between the KSZ8051MNL/RNL and its link partner, and is supported for 100BASE-TX full-duplex
mode only.
The loopback data path is shown in Figure 3-9.
1. The Fast Ethernet (100BASE-TX) PHY link partner transmits frames to the KSZ8051MNL/RNL.
2. Frames are wrapped around inside the KSZ8051MNL/RNL.
3. The KSZ8051MNL/RNL transmits frames back to the Fast Ethernet (100BASE-TX) PHY link partner.
FIGURE 3-8: LOCAL (DIGITAL) LOOPBACK
KSZ8051MNL/RNL
DS00002310B-page 28 2018 Microchip Technology Inc.
The following programming steps and register settings are used for remote loopback mode:
1. Set Register 0h,
Bits [13] = 1 // Select 100 Mbps speed
Bit [12] = 0 // Disable auto-negotiation
Bit [8] = 1 // Select full-duplex mode
Or just auto-negotiate and link up at 100BASE-TX full-duplex mode with the link partner.
2. Set Register 1Fh,
Bit [2] = 1 // Enable remote loopback mode
3.9 LinkMD® Cable Diagnostic
The LinkMD function uses time-domain reflectometry (TDR) to analyze the cabling plant for common cabling problems.
These include open circuits, short circuits, and impedance mismatches.
LinkMD works by sending a pulse of known amplitude and duration down the MDI or MDI-X pair, then analyzing the
shape of the reflected signal to determine the type of fault. The time duration for the reflected signal to return provides
the approximate distance to the cabling fault. The LinkMD function processes this TDR information and presents it as
a numerical value that can be translated to a cable distance.
LinkMD is initiated by accessing register 1Dh, the LinkMD Cable Diagnostic register, in conjunction with Register 1Fh,
the PHY Control 2 Register. The latter register is used to disable Auto MDI/MDI-X and to select either MDI or MDI-X as
the cable differential pair for testing.
3.9.1 USAGE
The following is a sample procedure for using LinkMD with Registers 1Dh and 1Fh:
1. Disable auto MDI/MDI-X by writing a ‘1’ to Register 1Fh, bit [13].
2. Start cable diagnostic test by writing a ‘1’ to Register 1Dh, bit [15]. This enable bit is self-clearing.
3. Wait (poll) for Register 1Dh, bit [15] to return a ‘0’, and indicating cable diagnostic test is completed.
4. Read cable diagnostic test results in Register 1Dh, bits [14:13]. 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 the device is unable to shut down the link partner. In this instance, the test is
not run because it would be impossible for the device to determine if the detected signal is a reflection of the signal
generated or a signal from another source.
5. Get distance to fault by concatenating Register 1Dh, bits [8:0] and multiplying the result by a constant of 0.38.
The distance to the cable fault can be determined by the following formula:
EQUATION 3-1:
Concatenated value of Registers 1Dh bits [8:0] should be converted to decimal before multiplying by 0.38.
The constant (0.38) may be calibrated for different cabling conditions, including cables with a velocity of propagation
that varies significantly from the norm.
3.10 NAND Tree Support
The KSZ8051MNL/RNL provides parametric NAND tree support for fault detection between chip I/Os and board. The
NAND tree is a chain of nested NAND gates in which each KSZ8051MNL/RNL digital I/O (NAND tree input) pin is an
input to one NAND gate along the chain. At the end of the chain, the CRS/CONFIG1 pin provides the output for the
nested NAND gates.
The NAND tree test process includes:
Enabling NAND tree mode
Pulling all NAND tree input pins high
Driving each NAND tree input pin low, sequentially, according to the NAND tree pin order
Checking the NAND tree output to make sure there is a toggle high-to-low or low-to-high for each NAND tree input
driven low
Table 3-7 and Tab l e 3 - 8 list the NAND tree pin orders for KSZ8051MNL and KSZ8051RNL, respectively.

3.10.1 NAND TREE I/O TESTING
Use the following procedure to check for faults on the KSZ8051MNL/RNL digital I/O pin connections to the board:
1. Enable NAND tree mode using either a hardware strap-in pin (NAND_Tree#, Pin 21) or software (Register 16h,
Bit [5]).
2. Use board logic to drive all KSZ8051MNL/RNL NAND tree input pins high.
3. Use board logic to drive each NAND tree input pin, in KSZ8051MNL/RNL NAND tree pin order, as follows:
a) Toggle the first pin (MDIO) from high to low, and verify that the CRS/CONFIG1 pin switches from high to low
to indicate that the first pin is connected properly.
b) Leave the first pin (MDIO) low.
c) Toggle the second pin (MDC) from high to low, and verify that the CRS/CONFIG1 pin switches from low to
high to indicate that the second pin is connected properly.
d) Leave the first pin (MDIO) and the second pin (MDC) low.
e) Toggle the third pin (RXD3/PHYAD0) from high to low, and verify that the CRS/CONFIG1 pin switches from
high to low to indicate that the third pin is connected properly.
f) Continue with this sequence until all KSZ8051MNL/RNL NAND tree input pins have been toggled.
Each KSZ8051MNL/RNL NAND tree input pin must cause the CRS/CONFIG1 output pin to toggle high-to-low or low-
to-high to indicate a good connection. If the CRS/CONFIG1 pin fails to toggle when the KSZ8051MNL/RNL input pin
toggles from high to low, the input pin has a fault.

KSZ8051MNL/RNL
3.11 Power Management
The KSZ8051MNL/RNL incorporates a number of power-management modes and features that provide methods to
consume less energy. These are discussed in the following sections.
3.11.1 POWER-SAVING MODE
Power-saving mode is used to reduce the transceiver power consumption when the cable is unplugged. It is enabled
by writing a ‘1’ to Register 1Fh, bit [10], and is in effect when auto-negotiation mode is enabled and the cable is discon-
nected (no link).
In this mode, the KSZ8051MNL/RNL shuts down all transceiver blocks, except for the transmitter, energy detect, and
PLL circuits.
By default, power-saving mode is disabled after power-up.
3.11.2 ENERGY-DETECT POWER-DOWN MODE
Energy-detect power-down (EDPD) mode is used to further reduce transceiver power consumption when the cable is
unplugged. It is enabled by writing a ‘0’ to Register 18h, bit [11], and is in effect when auto-negotiation mode is enabled
and the cable is disconnected (no link).
EDPD mode works with the PLL off (set by writing a ‘1’ to Register 10h, bit [4] to automatically turn the PLL off in EDPD
mode) to turn off all KSZ8051MNL/RNL transceiver blocks except the transmitter and energy-detect circuits.
Power can be reduced further by extending the time interval between transmissions of link pulses to check for the pres-
ence of a link partner. The periodic transmission of link pulses is needed to ensure the KSZ8051MNL/RNL and its link
partner, when operating in the same low-power state and with Auto MDI/MDI-X disabled, can wake up when the cable
is connected between them.
By default, energy-detect power-down mode is disabled after power-up.
3.11.3 POWER-DOWN MODE
Power-down mode is used to power down the KSZ8051MNL/RNL device when it is not in use after power-up. It is
enabled by writing a ‘1’ to Register 0h, bit [11].
In this mode, the KSZ8051MNL/RNL disables all internal functions except the MII management interface. The
KSZ8051MNL/RNL exits (disables) power-down mode after Register 0h, bit [11] is set back to ‘0’.
3.11.4 SLOW-OSCILLATOR MODE
Slow-oscillator mode is used to disconnect the input reference crystal/clock on XI (pin 9) and select the on-chip slow
oscillator when the KSZ8051MNL/RNL device is not in use after power-up. It is enabled by writing a ‘1’ to Register 11h,
bit [5].
Slow-oscillator mode works in conjunction with power-down mode to put the KSZ8051MNL/RNL device in the lowest
power state, with all internal functions disabled except the MII management interface. To properly exit this mode and
return to normal PHY operation, use the following programming sequence:
1. Disable slow-oscillator mode by writing a ‘0’ to Register 11h, Bit [5].
2. Disable power-down mode by writing a ‘0’ to Register 0h, Bit [11].
3. Initiate software reset by writing a ‘1’ to Register 0h, Bit [15].
3.12 Reference Circuit for Power and Ground Connections
The KSZ8051MNL/RNL is a single 3.3V supply device with a built-in regulator to supply the 1.2V core. The power and
ground connections are shown in Figure 3-10 and Table 3-9 for 3.3V VDDIO.

3.13 Typical Current/Power Consumption
Table 3-10, Table 3-11 , and Ta b l e 3 - 1 2 show typical values for current consumption by the transceiver (VDDA_3.3) and
digital I/O (VDDIO) power pins, and typical values for power consumption by the KSZ8051MNL/RNL device for the indi-
cated nominal operating voltages. These current and power consumption values include the transmit driver current and
on-chip regulator current for the 1.2V core.

7.9 Power-Up/Reset Timing
The KSZ8051MNL/RNL reset timing requirement is summarized in Figure 7-10 and Ta b l e 7 - 1 0 .
The supply voltage (VDDIO and VDDA_3.3) power-up waveform should be monotonic. The 300 µs minimum rise time is
from 10% to 90%.
For warm reset, the reset (RST#) pin should be asserted low for a minimum of 500 µs. The strap-in pin values are read
and updated at the de-assertion of reset.
After the de-assertion of reset, wait a minimum of 100 µs before starting programming on the MIIM (MDC/MDIO) inter-
face.
If the clock source to XI is something other than a crystal, the clock must be present for a minimum of 1 ms prior to the
rising edge of RST#.

Figure 8-1 shows a reset circuit recommended for powering up the KSZ8051MNL/RNL if reset is triggered by the power
supply.
FIGURE 8-1: RECOMMENDED RESET CIRCUIT
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 KSZ8051MNL/
RNL device. The RST_OUT_N from the CPU/FPGA provides the warm reset after power-up.

9.0 REFERENCE CIRCUITS — LED STRAP-IN PINS
The pull-up, float, and pull-down reference circuits for the LED1/SPEED and LED0/NWAYEN strap-in pins are shown
in Figure 9-1 for 3.3V and 2.5V VDDIO.
FIGURE 9-1: REFERENCE CIRCUITS FOR LED STRAP-IN PINS
For 1.8V VDDIO, LED indication support is not recommended due to the low voltage. Without the LED indicator, the
SPEED and NWAYEN strapping pins are functional with a 4.7 k pull-up to 1.8V VDDIO or float for a value of ‘1’, and
with a 1.0 k pull-down to ground for a value of ‘0’.

10.0 REFERENCE CLOCK - CONNECTION AND SELECTION
A crystal or external clock source, such as an oscillator, is used to provide the reference clock for the KSZ8051MNL/
RNL. For the KSZ8051MNL in all operating modes and for the KSZ8051RNL in RMII – 25 MHz Clock Mode, the refer-
ence clock is 25 MHz. The reference clock connections to XI (pin 9) and XO (pin 8), and the reference clock selection
criteria, are provided in Figure 10-1 and Table 10-1.
FIGURE 10-1: 25 MHZ CRYSTAL/OSCILLATOR REFERENCE CLOCK CONNECTION
For the KSZ8051RNL in RMII - 50 MHz Clock Mode, the reference clock is 50 MHz. The reference clock connections
to XI (Pin 9), and the reference clock selection criteria are provided in Figure 10-2 and Table 10-2.

11.0 MAGNETIC - CONNECTION AND SELECTION
A 1:1 isolation transformer is required at the line interface. Use one with integrated common-mode chokes for designs
exceeding FCC requirements.
The KSZ8051MNL/RNL design incorporates voltage-mode transmit drivers and on-chip terminations.
With the voltage-mode implementation, the transmit drivers supply the common-mode voltages to the two differential
pairs. Therefore, the two transformer center tap pins on the KSZ8051MNL/RNL side should not be connected to any
power supply source on the board; instead, the center tap pins should be separated from one another and connected
through separate 0.1 µF common-mode capacitors to ground. Separation is required because the common-mode volt-
age is different between transmitting and receiving differential pairs.
Figure 11-1 shows the typical magnetic interface circuit for the KSZ8051MNL/RNL.

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
knowledge, require using the Microchip products in a manner outside the operating specifications contained in Microchip’s Data
