PRODUCTION DATA.
The PWR_DOWN/INT pin can be asserted low to put the device in a power down mode. This is equivalent to setting bit 11 (power down) in the basic mode control register, BMCR (0x00h). An external control signal can be used to drive the pin low, overcoming the weak internal pullup resistor. Alternatively, the device can be configured to initialize into a power down state by use of an external pulldown resistor on the PWR_DOWN/INT pin. Since the device will still respond to management register accesses, setting the INT_OE bit in the MICR register will disable the PWR_DOWN/INT input, allowing the device to exit the power down state.
