MII connections are used for 10/100 data. MII is compatible with GMII and will be used for 10/100 data when the device is configured for GMII. MII is available on PAP devices only.
The DP83867 incorporates the Media Independent Interface (MII) as specified in Clause 22 of the IEEE 802.3 standard. This interface may be used to connect PHY devices to a MAC in 10/100Mbps systems. This section describes the nibble wide MII data interface.
The nibble wide MII data interface consists of a receive bus and a transmit bus each with control signals to facilitate data transfer between the PHY and the upper layer (MAC).
