System Operation
5.1
Reset and EEPROM Download Procedure
The reset input should be kept at “0” for more than 1.6 microsecond after power up. After detecting the
rising edge of reset input, the IP1718 LF will start downloading the content of EEPROM(acting like an
EEPROM master).
The internal register address of the IP1718 LF should comply with the address of EEPROM. Being an
EEPROM master, the IP1718 LF will download the content of EEPROM with EEPROM ID “1726H”.
The mapping relationship between the IP1718 LF registers and the EEPROM address are depicted as
the following table.

Note:
1.
The EEPROM ID should be set to “3’b000”; i.e. A2=0; A1=0; A0=0
2.
The IP1718 LF download the content of the EEPROM ranging from address 00H to FDH; i.e. the
register beyond this range is not recognized by the IP1718 LF.
3.
The ID for IP1718 LF recognition should be set at address 00H and address 01H as stated in the
table.
5.2
Polling/Writing the PHY
The IP1718 LF periodically, around 2.8ms for each access cycle, read the status of the PHY through
MDC, MDIO management signals. The PHY registers that will be read/write are 0, 1, 4 and 5. After
reading the PHY status, the IP1718 LF will reconfigure the internal MAC to meet the operating mode of
the PHY.
The relationship between the port ID and the PHY ID is shown below.

Comment
The smallest ID of the IP1718 LF
corresponds to the smallest PHY ID.
