FUNCTIONAL BLOCKS
This section of the specification provides a description of the functional blocks of the KS8910 10/100 Mbit/s
Ethernet Transceiver architecture. The next Chapter of the document will describe the blocks in detail. Shown in
Figure 3-1
are the functional blocks in the architecture.
MII DATA INTERFACE
The purpose of the MII data interface is to provide a simple, inexpensive, and easily implemented interconnection
between the Media Access Control (MAC) sublayer and Physical (PHY) layer devices and between PHY layer
devices and Station Management. The MII interface provides a uniform interface to the Reconciliation Sublayer for
all 100Base-T physical layer device implementation. Services required by the MII include the following:
