2.1 Microcontroller Initialization

The microcontroller assists in initializing itself with regards to the PHY system by configuring:

  • MDC and MDIO pins for register access

  • Any pins that control PHY states (Wake, Reset, EN) according to the application

  • Any shared PHY pins also controlled by the MCU (that is, strapping pins) to Hi-Z to avoid the PHY sampling unintended strap voltages
