KSZ9031MNX
1.0 INTRODUCTION
1.1 General Description
The KSZ9031MNX is a completely integrated triple-speed (10BASE-T/100BASE-TX/1000BASE-T) Ethernet physical-
layer transceiver for transmission and reception of data on standard CAT-5 unshielded twisted pair (UTP) cable.
The KSZ9031MNX offers the industry-standard GMII/MII (Gigabit Media Independent Interface/Media Independent
Interface) for connection to GMII/MII MACs in Gigabit Ethernet processors and switches for data transfer at 1000 Mbps
or 10/100 Mbps.
The KSZ9031MNX reduces board cost and simplifies board layout by using on-chip termination resistors for the four
differential pairs and by integrating an LDO controller to drive a low-cost MOSFET to supply the 1.2V core.
The KSZ9031MNX offers diagnostic features to facilitate system bring-up and debugging in production testing and in
product deployment. Parametric NAND tree support enables fault detection between KSZ9031MNX I/Os and the board.
The LinkMD® TDR-based cable diagnostic identifies faulty copper cabling. Remote and local loopback functions verify
analog and digital data paths.
The KSZ9031MNX is available in a 64-pin, lead-free QFN package.

Pin strap-ins are latched during power-up or reset. In some systems, the MAC receive input pins may be driven during
the power-up or reset process, and consequently cause the PHY strap-in pins on the GMII/MII signals to be latched to
the incorrect configuration. In this case, external pull-up or pull-down resistors should be added on the PHY strap-in pins
to ensure the PHY is configured to the correct pin strap-in mode.

KSZ9031MNX
3.0 FUNCTIONAL DESCRIPTION
The KSZ9031MNX is a completely integrated triple-speed (10BASE-T/100BASE-TX/1000BASE-T) Ethernet physical
layer transceiver solution for transmission and reception of data over a standard CAT-5 unshielded twisted pair (UTP)
cable.
The KSZ9031MNX reduces board cost and simplifies board layout by using on-chip termination resistors for the four
differential pairs and by integrating an LDO controller to drive a low-cost MOSFET to supply the 1.2V core.
On the copper media interface, the KSZ9031MNX can automatically detect and correct for differential pair misplace-
ments and polarity reversals, and correct propagation delays and re-sync timing between the four differential pairs, as
specified in the IEEE 802.3 standard for 1000BASE-T operation.
The KSZ9031MNX provides the GMII/MII interface for connection to GMACs in Gigabit Ethernet processors and
switches for data transfer at 10/100/1000Mbps.
Figure 3-1 shows a high-level block diagram of the KSZ9031MNX.

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 coding, scrambling, NRZ-to-NRZI con-
version, and MLT-3 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 MLT-3 current output. The output current is
set by an external 12.1 k 1% 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, and overshoot. 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, MLT-3-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 are 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 the MLT-3 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 GMII/MII format and provided as the input data to the MAC.
3.1.3 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 using an 11-bit wide linear feedback shift register (LFSR). The
scrambler generates a 2047-bit non-repetitive sequence, then the receiver de-scrambles the incoming data stream
using the same sequence as at the transmitter.
3.1.4 10BASE-T TRANSMIT
The 10BASE-T output drivers are incorporated into the 100BASE-TX drivers to allow for transmission with the same
magnetic. The drivers perform internal wave-shaping and pre-emphasis, and output signals with typical amplitude of
2.5V peak for standard 10BASE-T mode and 1.75V peak for energy-efficient 10BASE-Te mode. The 10BASE-T/
10BASE-Te signals have harmonic contents that are at least 31 dB below the fundamental frequency when driven by
an all-ones Manchester-encoded signal.
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) 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 300 mV or with short pulse widths to prevent
noises at the receive inputs from falsely triggering the decoder. When the input exceeds the squelch limit, the PLL locks
onto the incoming signal and the KSZ9031MNX decodes a data frame. The receiver clock is maintained active during
idle periods between receiving data frames.
The KSZ9031MNX removes all 7 bytes of the preamble and presents the received frame starting with the SFD (start of
frame delimiter) to the MAC.
Auto-polarity correction is provided for the receiving differential pair to automatically swap and fix the incorrect +/– polar-
ity wiring in the cabling.
3.2 1000BASE-T Transceiver
The 1000BASE-T transceiver is based-on a mixed-signal/digital-signal processing (DSP) architecture, which includes
the analog front-end, digital channel equalizers, trellis encoders/decoders, echo cancelers, cross-talk cancelers, preci-
sion clock recovery scheme, and power-efficient line drivers.
Figure 3-2 shows a high-level block diagram of a single channel of the 1000BASE-T transceiver for one of the four dif-
ferential pairs.

3.2.1 ANALOG ECHO-CANCELLATION CIRCUIT
In 1000BASE-T mode, the analog echo-cancellation circuit helps to reduce the near-end echo. This analog hybrid circuit
relieves the burden of the ADC and the adaptive equalizer.
This circuit is disabled in 10BASE-T/100BASE-TX mode.
3.2.2 AUTOMATIC GAIN CONTROL (AGC)
In 1000BASE-T mode, the automatic gain control (AGC) circuit provides initial gain adjustment to boost up the signal
level. This pre-conditioning circuit is used to improve the signal-to-noise ratio of the receive signal.
3.2.3 ANALOG-TO-DIGITAL CONVERTER (ADC)
In 1000BASE-T mode, the analog-to-digital converter (ADC) digitizes the incoming signal. ADC performance is essen-
tial to the overall performance of the transceiver.
This circuit is disabled in 10BASE-T/100BASE-TX mode.
3.2.4 TIMING RECOVERY CIRCUIT
In 1000BASE-T mode, the mixed-signal clock recovery circuit together with the digital phase-locked loop is used to
recover and track the incoming timing information from the received data. The digital phase-locked loop has very low
long-term jitter to maximize the signal-to-noise ratio of the receive signal.
The 1000BASE-T slave PHY must transmit the exact receive clock frequency recovered from the received data back to
the 1000BASE-T master PHY. Otherwise, the master and slave will not be synchronized after long transmission. This
also helps to facilitate echo cancellation and NEXT removal.
3.2.5 ADAPTIVE EQUALIZER
In 1000BASE-T mode, the adaptive equalizer provides the following functions:
Detection for partial response signaling
Removal of NEXT and ECHO noise
Channel equalization
Signal quality is degraded by residual echo that is not removed by the analog hybrid because of impedance mismatch.
The KSZ9031MNX uses a digital echo canceler to further reduce echo components on the receive signal.
In 1000BASE-T mode, data transmission and reception occurs simultaneously on all four pairs of wires (four channels).
This results in high-frequency cross-talk coming from adjacent wires. The KSZ9031MNX uses three NEXT cancelers
on each receive channel to minimize the cross-talk induced by the other three channels.

In 10BASE-T/100BASE-TX mode, the adaptive equalizer needs only to remove the inter-symbol interference and
recover the channel loss from the incoming data.
3.2.6 TRELLIS ENCODER AND DECODER
In 1000BASE-T mode, the transmitted 8-bit data is scrambled into 9-bit symbols and further encoded into 4D-PAM5
symbols. The initial scrambler seed is determined by the specific PHY address to reduce EMI when more than one
KSZ9031MNX is used on the same board. On the receiving side, the idle stream is examined first. The scrambler seed,
pair skew, pair order, and polarity must be resolved through the logic. The incoming 4D-PAM5 data is then converted
into 9-bit symbols and de-scrambled into 8-bit data.
3.3 Auto MDI/MDI-X
The Automatic MDI/MDI-X feature eliminates the need to determine whether to use a straight cable or a crossover cable
between the KSZ9031MNX and its link partner. This auto-sense function detects the MDI/MDI-X pair mapping from the
link partner, and assigns the MDI/MDI-X pair mapping of the KSZ9031MNX accordingly.
Table 3-1 shows the KSZ9031MNX 10/100/1000 pin configuration assignments for MDI/MDI-X pin mapping.
Auto MDI/MDI-X is enabled by default. It is disabled by writing a one to Register 1Ch, Bit [6]. MDI and MDI-X mode is
set by Register 1Ch, Bit [7] if Auto MDI/MDI-X is disabled.
An isolation transformer with symmetrical transmit and receive data paths is recommended to support Auto MDI/MDI-X.
3.4 Pair-Swap, Alignment, and Polarity Check
In 1000BASE-T mode, the KSZ9031MNX
Detects incorrect channel order and automatically restores the pair order for the A, B, C, D pairs (four channels).
Supports 50 ns ±10 ns difference in propagation delay between pairs of channels in accordance with the IEEE
802.3 standard, and automatically corrects the data skew so the corrected four pairs of data symbols are synchro-
nized.
Incorrect pair polarities of the differential signals are automatically corrected for all speeds.
3.5 Wave Shaping, Slew-Rate Control, and Partial Response
In communication systems, signal transmission encoding methods are used to provide the noise-shaping feature and
to minimize distortion and error in the transmission channel.
For 1000BASE-T, a special partial-response signaling method is used to provide the band-limiting feature for the
transmission path.
For 100BASE-TX, a simple slew-rate control method is used to minimize EMI.
For 10BASE-T, pre-emphasis is used to extend the signal quality through the cable.
3.6 PLL Clock Synthesizer
The KSZ9031MNX generates 125 MHz, 25 MHz, and 10 MHz clocks for system timing. Internal clocks are generated
from the external 25 MHz crystal or reference clock.

KSZ9031MNX
3.7 Auto-Negotiation
The KSZ9031MNX conforms to the auto-negotiation protocol, defined in Clause 28 of the IEEE 802.3 Specification.
Auto-negotiation allows UTP (unshielded twisted pair) 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 operating mode.
The following list shows the speed and duplex operation mode from highest-to-lowest:
Priority 1: 1000BASE-T, full-duplex
Priority 2: 1000BASE-T, half-duplex
Priority 3: 100BASE-TX, full-duplex
Priority 4: 100BASE-TX, half-duplex
Priority 5: 10BASE-T, full-duplex
Priority 6: 10BASE-T, half-duplex
If auto-negotiation is not supported or the KSZ9031MNX link partner is forced to bypass auto-negotiation for 10BASE-
T and 100BASE-TX modes, the KSZ9031MNX sets its operating mode by observing the input signal at its receiver. This
is known as parallel detection, and allows the KSZ9031MNX to establish a link by listening for a fixed signal protocol in
the absence of the auto-negotiation advertisement protocol.
The auto-negotiation link-up process is shown in Figure 3-3.
FIGURE 3-3: AUTO-NEGOTIATION FLOW CHART
For 1000BASE-T mode, auto-negotiation is required and always used to establish a link. During 1000BASE-T auto-
negotiation, the master and slave configuration is first resolved between link partners. Then the link is established with
the highest common capabilities between link partners.
Auto-negotiation is enabled by default after power-up or hardware reset. After that, auto-negotiation can be enabled or
disabled through Register 0h, Bit [12]. If auto-negotiation is disabled, the speed is set by Register 0h, Bits [6, 13] and
the duplex is set by Register 0h, Bit [8].
If the speed is changed on the fly, the link goes down and either auto-negotiation or parallel detection initiates until a
common speed between KSZ9031MNX and its link partner is re-established for a link.
If the link is already established and there is no change of speed on the fly, the changes (for example, duplex and pause
capabilities) will not take effect unless either auto-negotiation is restarted through Register 0h, Bit [9], or a link-down to
link-up transition occurs (that is, disconnecting and reconnecting the cable).

After auto-negotiation is completed, the link status is updated in Register 1h, Bit [2], and the link partner capabilities are
updated in Registers 5h, 6h, and Ah.
The auto-negotiation finite state machines use interval timers to manage the auto-negotiation process. The duration of
these timers under normal operating conditions is summarized in Table 3-2.
3.8 10/100 Mbps Speeds Only
Some applications require link-up to be limited to 10/100 Mbps speeds only.
After power-up/reset, the KSZ9031MNX can be restricted to auto-negotiate and link-up to 10/100 Mbps speeds only by
programming the following register settings:
1. Set Register 0h, Bit [6] = ‘0’ to remove 1000 Mbps speed.
2. Set Register 9h, Bits [9:8] = ‘00’ to remove Auto-Negotiation advertisements for 1000 Mbps full/half duplex.
3. Write a ‘1’ to Register 0h, Bit [9], a self-clearing bit, to force a restart of Auto-Negotiation.
Auto-Negotiation and 10BASE-T/100BASE-TX speeds use only differential pairs A (pins 2, 3) and B (pins 7, 8). Differ-
ential pairs C (pins 10, 11) and D (pins 14, 15) can be left as no connects.
3.9 GMII Interface
The Gigabit Media Independent Interface (GMII) is compliant to the IEEE 802.3 Specification. It provides a common
interface between GMII PHYs and MACs, and has the following key characteristics:
Pin count is 24 pins (11 pins for data transmission, 11 pins for data reception, and 2 pins for carrier and collision
indication).
1000 Mbps is 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 8 bits wide, a byte.
In GMII operation, the GMII pins function as follows:
The MAC sources the transmit reference clock, GTX_CLK, at 125 MHz for 1000 Mbps.
The PHY recovers and sources the receive reference clock, RX_CLK, at 125 MHz for 1000 Mbps.
TX_EN, TXD[7:0], and TX_ER are sampled by the KSZ9031MNX on the rising edge of GTX_CLK.
RX_DV, RXD[7:0], and RX_ER are sampled by the MAC on the rising edge of RX_CLK.
CRS and COL are driven by the KSZ9031MNX and do not have to transition synchronously with respect to either
GTX_CLK or RX_CLK.

KSZ9031MNX
The KSZ9031MNX combines GMII mode with MII mode to form GMII/MII mode to support data transfer at 10/100/
1000 Mbps. After power-up or reset, the KSZ9031MNX is configured to GMII/MII mode if the MODE[3:0] strap-in pins
are set to ‘0001’. See the Strapping Options - KSZ9031MNX section.
The KSZ9031MNX has the option to output a 125 MHz reference clock on CLK125_NDO (Pin 55). This clock provides
a lower-cost reference clock alternative for GMII/MII MACs that require a 125 MHz crystal or oscillator. The 125 MHz
clock output is enabled after power-up or reset if the CLK125_EN strap-in pin is pulled high.
The KSZ9031MNX provides a dedicated transmit clock input pin (GTX_CLK, Pin 32) for GMII mode, which is sourced
by the MAC for 1000 Mbps speed.

FIGURE 3-5: KSZ9031MNX MII INTERFACE
3.11 MII Management (MIIM) Interface
The KSZ9031MNX 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 state of the KSZ9031MNX.
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 an external con-
troller to communicate with one or more KSZ9031MNX devices. Each KSZ9031MNX device is assigned a unique
PHY address between 0h and 7h by the PHYAD[2:0] strapping pins.
A 32-register address space for direct access to IEEE-defined registers and vendor-specific registers, and for indi-
rect access to MMD addresses and registers. See the Register Map section.
PHY Address 0h is supported as the unique PHY address only; it is not supported as the broadcast PHY address, which
allows for a single write command to simultaneously program an identical PHY register for two or more PHY devices
(for example, using PHY Address 0h to set Register 0h to a value of 0x1940 to set Bit [11] to a value of one to enable
software power-down). Instead, separate write commands are used to program each PHY device.

3.12 Interrupt (INT_N)
The INT_N pin is an optional interrupt signal that is used to inform the external controller that there has been a status
update in the KSZ9031MNX PHY register. Bits [15:8] of Register 1Bh are the interrupt control bits that enable and dis-
able the conditions for asserting the INT_N signal. Bits [7:0] of Register 1Bh are the interrupt status bits that indicate
which interrupt conditions have occurred. The interrupt status bits are cleared after reading Register 1Bh.
Bit [14] 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 KSZ9031MNX control and status
registers. Additionally, an interrupt pin eliminates the need for the processor to poll the PHY for status change.
3.13 LED Mode
The KSZ9031MNX provides two programmable LED output pins, LED2 and LED1, which are configurable to support
two LED modes. The LED mode is configured by the LED_MODE strap-in (Pin 55). It is latched at power-up/reset and
is defined as follows:
Pull-Up: Single-LED Mode
Pull-Down: Tri-Color Dual-LED Mode
Each LED output pin can directly drive an LED with a series resistor (typically 220 to 470).
3.13.1 SINGLE-LED MODE
In single-LED mode, the LED2 pin indicates the link status while the LED1 pin indicates the activity status, as shown in
Table 3-6.
3.13.2 TRI-COLOR DUAL-LED MODE
In tri-color dual-LED mode, the link and activity status are indicated by the LED2 pin for 1000BASE-T; by the LED1 pin
for 100BASE-TX; and by both LED2 and LED1 pins, working in conjunction, for 10BASE-T. This is summarized in
Table 3-7.

3.15 LinkMD® Cable Diagnostic
The LinkMD function uses time domain reflectometry (TDR) to analyze the cabling plant for common cabling problems,
such as open circuits, short circuits, and impedance mismatches.
LinkMD operates by sending a pulse of known amplitude and duration down the selected differential pair, then analyzing
the polarity and shape of the reflected signal to determine the type of fault: open circuit for a positive/non-inverted ampli-
tude reflection and short circuit for a negative/inverted amplitude reflection. 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 12h, the LinkMD – Cable Diagnostic register, in conjunction with Register 1Ch,
the Auto MDI/MDI-X register. The latter register is needed to disable the Auto MDI/MDI-X function before running the
LinkMD test. Additionally, a software reset (Reg. 0h, Bit [15] = 1) should be performed before and after running the
LinkMD test. The reset helps to ensure the KSZ9031MNX is in the normal operating state before and after the test.
3.16 NAND Tree Support
The KSZ9031MNX provides parametric NAND tree support for fault detection between chip I/Os and board. NAND tree
mode is enabled at power-up/reset with the MODE[3:0] strap-in pins set to ‘0100’. Tab l e 3 - 8 lists the NAND tree pin
order.

KSZ9031MNX
3.17 Power Management
The KSZ9031MNX incorporates a number of power-management modes and features that provide methods to con-
sume less energy. These are discussed in the following sections.
3.17.1 ENERGY-DETECT POWER-DOWN MODE
Energy-detect power-down (EDPD) mode is used to further reduce the transceiver power consumption when the cable
is unplugged. It is enabled by writing a one to MMD Address 1Ch, Register 23h, Bit [0], and is in effect when auto-nego-
tiation mode is enabled and the cable is disconnected (no link).
In EDPD Mode, the KSZ9031MNX shuts down all transceiver blocks, except for the transmitter and energy detect cir-
cuits. Power can be reduced further by extending the time interval between the transmissions of link pulses to check for
the presence of a link partner. The periodic transmission of link pulses is needed to ensure the KSZ9031MNX 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, EDPD mode is disabled after power-up.
3.17.2 SOFTWARE POWER-DOWN MODE
This mode is used to power down the KSZ9031MNX device when it is not in use after power-up. Software power-down
(SPD) mode is enabled by writing a one to Register 0h, Bit [11]. In the SPD state, the KSZ9031MNX disables all internal
functions, except for the MII management interface. The KSZ9031MNX exits the SPD state after a zero is written to
Register 0h, Bit [11].
3.17.3 CHIP POWER-DOWN MODE
This mode provides the lowest power state for the KSZ9031MNX device when it is mounted on the board but not in use.
Chip power-down (CPD) mode is enabled after power-up/reset with the MODE[3:0] strap-in pins set to ‘0111’. The
KSZ9031MNX exits CPD mode after a hardware reset is applied to the RESET_N pin (Pin 56) with the MODE[3:0] strap-
in pins set to an operating mode other than CPD.
3.18 Wake-On-LAN
Wake-On-LAN (WOL) is normally a MAC-based function to wake up a host system (for example, an Ethernet end
device, such as a PC) that is in standby power mode. Wake-up is triggered by receiving and detecting a special packet
(commonly referred to as the “magic packet”) that is sent by the remote link partner. The KSZ9031MNX can perform the
same WOL function if the MAC address of its associated MAC device is entered into the KSZ9031MNX PHY registers
for magic-packet detection. When the KSZ9031MNX detects the magic packet, it wakes up the host by driving its power
management event (PME) output pin low.
By default, the WOL function is disabled. It is enabled by setting the enabling bit and configuring the associated registers
for the selected PME wake-up detection method.
The KSZ9031MNX provides three methods to trigger a PME wake-up:
Magic-packet detection

GTX_CLK Input
TX_EN Input
RX_DV Input

RX_CLK Input

Customized-packet detection
Link status change detection
3.18.1 MAGIC-PACKET DETECTION
The magic packet’s frame format starts with 6 bytes of 0xFFh and is followed by 16 repetitions of the MAC address of
its associated MAC device (local MAC device).
When the magic packet is detected from its link partner, the KSZ9031MNX asserts its PME output pin low.
The following MMD Address 2h registers are provided for magic-packet detection:
Magic-packet detection is enabled by writing a ‘1’ to MMD Address 2h, Register 10h, Bit [6]
The MAC address (for the local MAC device) is written to and stored in MMD Address 2h, Registers 11h – 13h
The KSZ9031MNX does not generate the magic packet. The magic packet must be provided by the external system.
3.18.2 CUSTOMIZED-PACKET DETECTION
The customized packet has associated register/bit masks to select which byte, or bytes, of the first 64 bytes of the packet
to use in the CRC calculation. After the KSZ9031MNX receives the packet from its link partner, the selected bytes for
the received packet are used to calculate the CRC. The calculated CRC is compared to the expected CRC value that
was previously written to and stored in the KSZ9031MNX PHY registers. If there is a match, the KSZ9031MNX asserts
its PME output pin low.
Four customized packets are provided to support four types of wake-up scenarios. A dedicated set of registers is used
to configure and enable each customized packet.
The following MMD registers are provided for customized-packet detection:
Each of the four customized packets is enabled via MMD Address 2h, Register 10h,
- Bit [2] // For customized packets, type 0
- Bit [3] // For customized packets, type 1
- Bit [4] // For customized packets, type 2
- Bit [5] // For customized packets, type 3
32-bit expected CRCs are written to and stored in:
- MMD Address 2h, Registers 14h – 15h // For customized packets, type 0
- MMD Address 2h, Registers 16h – 17h // For customized packets, type 1
- MMD Address 2h, Registers 18h – 19h // For customized packets, type 2
- MMD Address 2h, Registers 1Ah – 1Bh // For customized packets, type 3
Masks to indicate which of the first 64-bytes to use in the CRC calculation are set in:
- MMD Address 2h, Registers 1Ch – 1Fh // For customized packets, type 0
- MMD Address 2h, Registers 20h – 23h // For customized packets, type 1
- MMD Address 2h, Registers 24h – 27h // For customized packets, type 2
- MMD Address 2h, Registers 28h – 2Bh // For customized packets, type 3
3.18.3 LINK STATUS CHANGE DETECTION
If link status change detection is enabled, the KSZ9031MNX asserts its PME output pin low whenever there is a link
status change using the following MMD Address 2h registers bits and their enabled (1) or disabled (0) settings:
MMD Address 2h, Register 10h, Bit [0] // For link-up detection
MMD Address 2h, Register 10h, Bit [1] // For link-down detection
The PME output signal is available on either LED1/PME_N1 (Pin 19) or INT_N/PME_N2 (Pin 53), and is selected and
enabled using MMD Address 2h, Register 2h, Bits [8] and [10], respectively. Additionally, MMD Address 2h, Register
10h, Bits [15:14] defines the output functions for Pins 19 and 53.
The PME output is active low and requires a 1 k pull-up to the VDDIO supply. When asserted, the PME output is
cleared by disabling the register bit that enabled the PME trigger source (magic packet, customized packet, link status
change).

4.3 MMD Registers
MMD registers provide indirect read/write access to up to 32 MMD device addresses with each device supporting up to
65,536 16-bit registers, as defined in Clause 22 of the IEEE 802.3 Specification. The KSZ9031MNX, however, uses only
a small fraction of the available registers. See the Register Map section for a list of supported MMD device addresses
and their associated register addresses.
The following two standard registers serve as the portal registers to access the indirect MMD registers.
Standard register Dh – MMD Access – Control
Standard register Eh – MMD Access – Register/Data
Note 4-1 RW = Read/Write
Example: MMD Register Write
Write MMD - Device Address 2h, Register 10h = 0001h to enable link-up detection to trigger PME for WOL.
1. Write Register Dh with 0002h // Set up register address for MMD – Device Address 2h.
2. Write Register Eh with 0010h // Select Register 10h of MMD – Device Address 2h.
3. Write Register Dh with 4002h // Select register data for MMD – Device Address 2h, Register 10h.
4. Write Register Eh with 0001h // Write value 0001h to MMD – Device Address 2h, Register 10h.
Example: MMD Register Read
Read MMD - Device Address 2h, Register 11h – 13h for the magic packet’s MAC address.
1. Write Register Dh with 0002h // Set up register address for MMD – Device Address 2h.
2. Write Register Eh with 0011h // Select Register 11h of MMD – Device Address 2h.
3. Write Register Dh with 8002h // Select register data for MMD – Device Address 2h, Register 11h.
4. Read Register Eh // Read data in MMD – Device Address 2h, Register 11h.
5. Read Register Eh // Read data in MMD – Device Address 2h, Register 12h.
6. Read Register Eh // Read data in MMD – Device Address 2h, Register 13h.

FIGURE 7-5: AUTO-NEGOTIATION FAST LINK PULSE (FLP) TIMING
The KSZ9031MNX Fast Link Pulse (FLP) burst-to-burst transmit timing for Auto-Negotiation defaults to 8 ms. IEEE
802.3 Standard specifies this timing to be 16 ms ±8 ms. Some PHY link partners need to receive the FLP with 16 ms
centered timing; otherwise, there can be intermittent link failures and long link-up times.
After KSZ9031MNX power-up/reset, program the following register sequence to set the FLP timing to 16 ms:
1. Write Register Dh = 0x0000 // Set up register address for MMD – Device Address 0h
2. Write Register Eh = 0x0004 // Select Register 4h of MMD – Device Address 0h
3. Write Register Dh = 0x4000 // Select register data for MMD – Device Address 0h, Register 4h
4. Write Register Eh = 0x0006 // Write value 0x0006 to MMD – Device Address 0h, Register 4h
5. Write Register Dh = 0x0000 // Set up register address for MMD – Device Address 0h
6. Write Register Eh = 0x0003 // Select Register 3h of MMD – Device Address 0h
7. Write Register Dh = 0x4000 // Select register data for MMD – Device Address 0h, Register 3h
8. Write Register Eh = 0x1A80 // Write value 0x1A80 to MMD – Device Address 0h, Register 3h
9. Write Register 0h, Bit [9] = 1 // Restart Auto-Negotiation
The above setting for 16 ms FLP transmit timing is compatible with all PHY link partners.

The typical MDC clock frequency is 2.5 MHz (400 ns clock period).
The KSZ9031MNX can operate with MDC clock frequencies generated from bit banging with GPIO pin in the 10s/100s
of Hertz and have been tested up to a MDC clock frequency of 8.33 MHz (120 ns clock period). Test condition for

FIGURE 7-7: POWER-UP/POWER-DOWN/RESET TIMING
Note 1: The recommended power-up sequence is to have the transceiver (AVDDH) and digital I/O (DVDDH) voltages
power up before the 1.2V core (DVDDL, AVDDL, AVDDL_PLL) voltage. If the 1.2V core must power up first, the maxi-
mum lead time for the 1.2V core voltage with respect to the transceiver and digital I/O voltages should be 200 µs.
There is no power sequence requirement between transceiver (AVDDH) and digital I/O (DVDDH) power rails.
The power-up waveforms should be monotonic for all supply voltages to the KSZ9031MNX.
Note 2: After the de-assertion of reset, wait a minimum of 100 µs before starting programming on the MIIM (MDC/MDIO)
interface.
Note 3: The recommended power-down sequence is to have the 1.2V core voltage power-down before powering down
the transceiver and digital I/O voltages.
Before the next power-up cycle, all supply voltages to the KSZ9031MNX should reach less than 0.4V and there should
be a minimum wait time of 150 ms from power-off to power-on.

8.0 RESET CIRCUIT
The following are some reset circuit suggestions.
Figure 8-1 illustrates the reset circuit for powering up the KSZ9031MNX if reset is triggered by the power supply.
FIGURE 8-1: RESET CIRCUIT IF TRIGGERED BY THE POWER SUPPLY
Figure 8-2 illustrates the reset circuit 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 monotonic rise time to reset the KSZ9031MNX device. The
RST_OUT_N from the CPU/FPGA provides the warm reset after power-up.
The KSZ9031MNX and CPU/FPGA references the same digital I/O voltage (DVDDH).

9.0 REFERENCE CIRCUITS — LED STRAP-IN PINS
The pull-up and pull-down reference circuits for the LED2/PHYAD1 and LED1/PHYAD0 strapping pins are shown in
Figure 9-1 for 3.3V and 2.5V DVDDH.
FIGURE 9-1: REFERENCE CIRCUITS FOR LED STRAPPING PINS
For 1.8V DVDDH, LED indication support requires voltage level shifters between LED[2:1] pins and LED indicator
diodes to ensure the multiplexed PHYAD[1:0] strapping pins are latched in high/low correctly. If LED indicator diodes
are not implemented, the PHYAD[1:0] strapping pins just need 10 k pull-up to 1.8V DVDDH for a value of 1, and 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 KSZ9031MNX.
The reference clock is 25 MHz for all operating modes of the KSZ9031MNX.
The KSZ9031MNX uses the AVDDH supply, analog 3.3V (or analog 2.5V option for commercial temperature only), for
the crystal/ clock pins (XI, XO). If the 25 MHz reference clock is provided externally, the XI input pin should have a min-
imum clock voltage peak-to-peak (VPP) swing of 2.5V reference to ground. If VPP is less than 2.5V, series capacitive
coupling is recommended. With capacitive coupling, the VPP swing can be down to 1.5V. Maximum VPP swing is 3.3V
+5%.
Figure 10-1 and Table 10-1 show the reference clock connection to XI (Pin 61) and XO (Pin 60) of the KSZ9031MNX,
and the reference clock selection criteria.
FIGURE 10-1: 25 MHZ CRYSTAL/OSCILLATOR REFERENCE CLOCK CONNECTION
11.0 ON-CHIP LDO CONTROLLER - MOSFET SELECTION
If the optional LDO controller is used to generate 1.2V for the core voltage, the selected MOSFET should exceed the
following minimum requirements:
P-channel
500 mA (continuous current)
3.3V or 2.5V (source – input voltage)
1.2V (drain – output voltage)
•V
GS in the range of:
- (–1.2V to –1.5V) @ 500 mA for 3.3V source voltage
- (–1.0V to –1.1V) @ 500 mA for 2.5V source voltage
The VGS for the MOSFET needs to be operating in the constant current saturated region, and not towards the VGS(th),
the threshold voltage for the cut-off region of the MOSFET.
See Table 6-11 for LDO controller output driving range to the gate input of the MOSFET.

KSZ9031MNX
12.0 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. An optional auto-transformer stage following the chokes provides additional common-
mode noise and signal attenuation.
The KSZ9031MNX 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 four differential
pairs. Therefore, the four transformer center tap pins on the KSZ9031MNX side should not be connected to any power
supply source on the board; rather, 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 voltage could
be different between the four differential pairs, depending on the connected speed mode.
Figure 12-1 shows the typical gigabit magnetic interface circuit for the KSZ9031MNX.

Note the following details 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
Sheets. Most likely, the person doing so is engaged in theft of intellectual property.
Microchip is willing to work with the customer who is concerned about the integrity of their code.
Neither Microchip nor any other semiconductor manufacturer can guarantee the security of their code. Code protection does not
mean that we are guaranteeing the product as “unbreakable.”
Code protection is constantly evolving. We at Microchip are committed to continuously improving the code protection features of our
products. Attempts to break Microchip’s code protection feature may be a violation of the Digital Millennium Copyright Act. If such acts
allow unauthorized access to your software or other copyrighted work, you may have a right to sue for relief under that Act.
Microchip received ISO/TS-16949:2009 certification for its worldwide
headquarters, design and wafer fabrication facilities in Chandler and
Tempe, Arizona; Gresham, Oregon and design centers in California
and India. The Company’s quality system processes and procedures
are for its PIC® MCUs and dsPIC® DSCs, KEELOQ® code hopping
