5.5 Status Interface

The ICS1893CF provides five multi-function configuration pins that report the results of continual link

monitoring by providing signals that are intended for driving LEDs. (For the pin numbers, see Table 8.6.)

Note:

1. During either a power-on reset or a hardware reset, each multi-function configuration pin is an input

that is sampled when the ICS1893CF exits the reset state. After sampling is complete, these pins are

output pins that can drive status LEDs.

2. A software reset does not affect the state of a multi-function configuration pin. During a software reset,

all multi-function configuration pins are outputs.

3. Each multi-function configuration pin must be pulled either up or down with a resistor to establish the

address of the ICS1893CF. LEDs may be placed in series with these resistors to provide a designated

status indicator as described in Table 5-3. Use 1K

Ω resistors.

Caution:

All pins listed in Table 5-3 must not float.

4. As outputs, the asserted state of a multi-function configuration pin is the inverse of the sense sampled

during reset. This inversion provides a signal that can illuminate an LED during an asserted state. For

example, if a multi-function configuration pin is pulled down to ground through an LED and a

current-limiting resistor, then the sampled sense of the input is low. To illuminate this LED for the

asserted state, the output is driven high.

5. Adding 10K

Ω resistors across the LEDs ensures the PHY address is fully defined during slow VDD

power-ramp conditions.

6. PHY address 00 tri-states the MII interface. (Do not select PHY address 00 unless you want the MII

tri-stated.)
