Revision 1.2
General Description
The KSZ8864CNX/RMNUB is a hig hl y-integrat ed, Layer 2-
managed 4-port switch with optimized design, plentiful
features and smallest pac k age s ize. It is des ign ed f or cost-
sensitive 10/100Mbps 4-port switch systems with on-chip
termination, lowest-power consumption, and small
package to save system cost. It has 1.4Gbps high-
performance memory bandwidth, shared memory-based
switch fabric with full non-blocking configuration. It also
provides an extensive feature set such as the power
management, pr ogrammable rat e lim iting and prior it y ratio,
tag/port-based VLAN, packet filtering, quality of service
(QoS), four queue prioritization, management interface,
MIB counter s. Port 3 and Por t 4 support either MII or RMII
interfaces with SW3-MII/RMII and SW4-MII/RMII (see
Functional Diagram) for KSZ8864CNX/RMNUB data
interface. An industrial temperature-grade version of the
KSZ8864CNXIA and a qualified AEC-Q100 Automotive
version of the KSZ8864RMNUB are als o available (see the
Ordering Information section).The KSZ8864CNX/RMNUB
provides m ultiple CPU control/data interfaces to effectively
address both current and emerging fast Ethernet
applications.
The KSZ8864CNX/RMNUB consists of 10/100 fast
Ethernet PHYs with patented and enhanced mixed-signal
technology, media access control (MAC) units, a high-
speed non-blocking switch fabric, a dedicated address
lookup engine, and an on-chip frame buffer memory.
The KSZ8864CNX/RMNUB contains four MACs and two
PHYs. The two PHYs support the 10/100Base-T/TX.
All registers of MACs and PHYs units can be managed by
the control interface of SPI or the SMI. MIIM registers of
the PHYs can be accessed through the MDC/MDIO
interface. EEPROM can set all control registers by I2C
controller interface for the unmanaged mode.
Datasheets and support documentation are available on

KSZ8864CNX/RMNUB
Introduction
The KSZ8864CNX/RMNUB contains two 10/100 physical layer transceivers and four media access control (MAC) units
with an integrated L ayer 2 managed s witch. T he device runs in multiple modes. They are two copper plus two MAC MII,
two copper plus t wo MAC RMII , two cop per plus 1 M AC MII plus 1 MAC RM II, a nd two copp er plus 1 M AC MII or 1 MAC
RMII. These are useful for implementing multiple products in many applications.
The KSZ8864CNX/RMNUB has the flexib ility to resi de in a m anaged or unm anaged desi gn. In a m anaged design, a host
processor has complete control of the KSZ8864CNX/RMNUB via the SPI bus, or partial control via the MDC/MDIO
interfac e. An unmanaged des ign is ach ie ved throu gh I/ O strapping or EEPROM programming at system reset time.
On the media side, the KSZ8864CNX/RMNUB supports IEEE 802.3 10BASE-T/100BASE-TX on all ports with Auto
MDI/MDIX. The KSZ8864CNX/RMNUB can be used as fully managed 4-port switch through two microprocessors by its
two MII interface or RMII interface for an advance management application.
Physical signal transmission and reception are enhanced through the use of patented analog circuitry with enhanced
mixed signal technology that makes the design more efficient and allows for lower power consumption and smaller chip
die size.
Major enhancements from the KS8864RMN to the KSZ8864CNX/RMNUB include further power saving, adding Micrel’s
LinkMD® feature and 0.11um silicon process technology. The KSZ8864CNX/RMNUB is completely pin-compatible with
the KSZ8864RMN.
Functional Overview: Physical Layer Transceiver
100BASE-TX Transmit
The 100BASE-TX transmit function performs parallel-to-serial conversions, 4B/5B coding, scrambling, NRZ-to-NRZI
conversions, MLT3 encoding, and transmission. The circuit starts with a parallel-to-serial conversion, which converts the
MII data f rom the M AC into a 125M Hz ser ial b it strea m . The data and cont rol s tream is then c onver ted in to 4B/5 B co ding ,
followed b y a scram bler. The s erialized data is f urther c onverted fr om NRZ to NRZI form at, and then trans m itted in MLT3
current output. The output current is set by an external 1% 12.4kresistor for the 1:1 transformer ratio. It has a typical
rise/fall time of 4ns and complies with the ANSI TP-PMD standard regarding amplitude balance, overshoot, and timing
jitter. The wave-shaped 10BA SE-T output is also incorporated into the 100BASE-TX transmitter.
100BASE-TX Receive
The 100BASE-TX receiver function performs adaptive equalization, DC restoration, MLT3-to-NRZI conversion, data and
clock recover y, NRZI -to-NRZ convers ion, d e-sc ramblin g, 4B/5 B deco ding, and s er ial-to-parallel c onvers ion. T he rec eivin g
side starts with the equalization filter to compensate for inter-symbol interference (ISI) over the twisted pair cable.
Because the amplitude loss and phase distortion is a function of the length of the cable, the equalizer has to adjust its
character istics to opt im ize the p erformanc e. In this de sign, the varia ble equalizer will mak e an initial est imation base d on
compar isons of incom ing si gnal str ength a gains t som e k nown cable charac ter istic s, then tunes its elf for optim ization. T his
is an ongoing process and it can self-adjust against environmental changes such as temperature variations.
The equal ized signa l then goes throu gh a DC restorat ion and data c onversio n block . The DC restor ation circuit is used t o
compensate for the effect of baseline wander and improve the dynamic range. The differential data conversion circuit
converts the MLT3 format back to NRZI. The slicing threshold is also adaptive.
The clock recovery circuit extracts the 125MHz clock from the edges of the NRZI signal. This recovered clock is then used
to convert t he NRZI signal into the NRZ format. The signal is then sent through the de-scrambler, followed by the 4B/5B
decoder. Finally, the NRZ serial data is converted to the MII format and provided as the input data to the MAC.
PLL Clock Synthesizer
The KSZ8864CNX/RMNUB generates 125MHz, 83MHz, 41MHz, 25MHz, and 10MHz clocks for system timing. Internal
clocks are generated from an external 25MHz crystal or oscillator.
Scrambler/De-Scramble r ( 100BASE-TX only)
The purpos e of the scram bler is to s pread the power spectr um of the signal in order to r educe EMI and basel ine wander.
The data is sc rambled thr ough the use of an 11-bit wide linear f eedback shift reg ister (LF SR). This can gen erate a 2047-
bit non-repet itive sequence . The recei ver will then d e-scramble the incoming dat a stream with the same sequenc e at the
transmitter.

MDI/MDI-X Auto Crossover
To eliminate the need for crossover cables between similar devices, the KSZ8864CNX/RMNUB supports HP Auto
MDI/MDI-X and IEEE 802.3u standard MDI/MDI-X auto crossover. HP Auto MDI/MDI-X is the default.
The auto-s ense functio n de tec ts r em ote tr ans mit and rec ei ve pair s and c or rec tly assigns tr ansmit and rec eiv e pairs f or t he
switch device. This feature is extremely useful when end users are unaware of cable types and saves on an additional
uplink configuration connection. The auto-crossover feature can be disabled through the port control registers or MIIM
PHY registers. The IEEE 802.3u standard MDI and MDI-X definitions are:

Figure 2. Typical Crossover Cable Connection
Auto-Negotiation
The KSZ8864CNX/RMNUB conforms to the auto-negotiation protocol as described by the IEEE 802.3 committee. Auto-
negotiation allows unshielded twisted pair (UTP) link partners to select the highest common mode of operation. Link
partners advertise their capabilities to each other and then compare their own capabilities with those they received from
their link partners. The hig hest speed and du plex setting t hat is comm on to the two link partners is s elected as the mode
of operation.
The following list shows the speed and duplex operation modes from highest to lowest.
Highest: 100Base-TX, full-duplex
High: 100Base-TX, half-duplex
Low: 10Base-T, full-duplex
Lowest: 10Bas e-T, half-duplex

KSZ8864CNX/RMNUB
If auto-negotiation is not supported or the KSZ8864CNX/RMNUB link partner is forced to bypass auto-negotiation, then
the KSZ8864CNX/RMNUB sets its operating mode by observing the signal at its receiver. This is known as parallel
detection, and allows the KSZ8864CNX/RMNUB to establis h link by listen ing for a fixed signa l protocol in the abs ence of
auto-negotiation advertisement protocol. The auto-negotiation link up process is shown in Figure 3.

LinkMD® Cable Diagnostics
The Link MD® feature ut ilizes tim e domain ref lectometry (T DR) to ana lyze the cab ling plant f or comm on cabling pr oblems
such as open circuits, short circuits, and impedance mismatches.
LinkMD wor ks b y sendi ng a pulse of known amplitu de an d dur at io n do wn t he MDI a nd MDI -X pairs and then an alyzes t he
shape of the reflected signal. Timing the pulse duration gives an indication of the distance to the cabling fault with
maxim um dis tance of 200m and ac c uracy of ±2m. Internal c irc uitry disp lays the TDR inf ormation in a us er-readab le d igital
format.
Note: Cable diagnostics are only valid for copper connections and do not support fiber optic operation.
Access
LinkMD is initiated by accessing the PHY special control/status Registers {42, 58} and the LinkMD result Registers {43,
59} for ports 1 and 2 respectively; and in conjunction with the registers port control 12 and 13 for ports 1 and 2
respectively to disable auto-negotiation and Auto MDI/MDIX.
Alternatively, the MIIM PHY Registers 0 and 1d can also be used for LinkMD access.
Usage
The following is a sample procedure for using LinkMD with Registers {42, 43, 44, 45} on port 1.
1. Disable Aut o-Negotiation by writing a ‘1’ to Register 44 (0x2c), bit [7].
2. Disable a uto MDI / MDI-X by writi ng a ‘1 ’ t o Re gis ter 4 5 ( 0x 2d), bi t [2] to e nab le manual c ontr o l over t he d if f er entia l pair
used to transmit the LinkMD pulse.
3. A software sequence set up to the internal registers for LinkMD only, see an example below.
4. Start cable diagnostic test by writing a ‘1’ to Register 42 (0x2a), bit [4]. This enable bit is self-clearing.
5. Wait (poll) for Register 42 (0x2a), bit [4] to return a ‘0’, and indicating cable diagnostic test is completed.
6. Read cable diagnostic test results in Register 42 (0x2a), bits [6:5]. The results are as follows:
00 = normal condition (valid test)
01 = open condition detected in cable (valid test)
10 = short condition detected in cable (valid test)
11 = cable diagnostic test failed (invalid test)
The ‘11’ case, invalid test, occurs when the KSZ8864 is unable to shut down the link partner. In this instance, the test is
not run, since it would be impossible for the KSZ8864 to determine if the detected signal is a reflection of the signal
generated or a signal from another source.
7. Get dis tance to fau lt b y c on c atenat in g R egis t er 42 ( 0x 2 a), b it [ 0] a nd Reg is ter 43 ( 0x 2b) , b its [7:0]; and m ulti p l ying th e
result by a constant of 0.4. The distance to the cable fault can be determined by the following formula:
D (distance to cable fault) = 0.4 x (Register 42, bit [0], Register 43, b its [7:0])
D (distance to cable fault) is expressed in meters.
Concatenated value of Registers 42 bit [0] and 43 bit [7:0] should be converted to decimal before decrease 26 and
multiplying by 0.4.
The constant (0.4) may be calibrated for different cabling conditions, including cables with a velocity of propagation that
varies significantly from the norm.
For port 2 and for the MIIM PHY registers, LinkMD usage is similar.

Note: After end the testing, set all registers above to their default values. The default values are ‘00’ for the Register
(0x37) and the Register (0x47)
On-Chip Termination Resistor s
The KSZ8864CNX/RMNUB reduces the boar d cost and sim plifies the board layout b y using on-c hip termination res istors
for all ports and RX/TX differential pairs without the external termination resistors. The combination of the on-chip
termination and internal biasing will save the power consumption as compared to using external biasing and termination
resistors, and the transformer will not consume power any more. The center tap of the transformer does not need to be
tied to the analog power due to have this feature of the internal biasing.

Functional Overview: Power Management
The KSZ8864CNX/RMNUB can also use multiple power levels of 3.3V, 2.5V, or 1.8V for VDDIO to support different I/O
voltages.
The KSZ8864CNX/RMNUB supports an enhanced power management feature in the low power state with energy
detection to ensure low power dissipation during device idle periods. There are five operation modes under the power
management function, which is controlled by the Register 14 bit [4:3] and the Register Port Control 6 bit3 as shown below:
Register 14 bit [4:3] = 00 Normal Operation Mode
Register 14 bit [4:3] = 01 Energy Detect Mode
Register 14 bit [4:3] = 10 Soft Power Down Mode
Register 14 bit [4:3] = 11 Power Saving Mode
The Register Port Control 6 bit 3 =1 is for the Port-Based Power-Down Mode
Table 2 indicates all internal function blocks status under four different power management operation modes.
Table 2. Internal Function Block Status

Mode
Internal PLL Clock Enabled Enabled Disabled Disabled
Tx/Rx PHY Enabled Rx unused block

MAC Enabled Enabled Disabled Disabled
Host Interface Enabled Enabled Disabled Disabled
Normal Operation Mode
This is the default setting bit [4:3] = 00 in Register 14 after the chip powers-up or experiences a hardware reset. When
KSZ8864CNX/RMNUB is in this norm al operation mode, all PLL clocks are running, PH Y and MAC are on, and the host
interface is ready for CPU read or write.
During the nor mal operat io n mode, the host CPU can s et the b it [4: 3] i n Re gis ter 14 to transit th e c urr ent n ormal operation
mode to any one of the other three power management operation modes.
Energy De tect Mode
The energy detect mode provides a mechanism to save more power than in the normal operation mode when the
KSZ8864CNX/RMNUB is not connected to an active link partner. In this mode, if the cable is not plugged, then the
KSZ8864CNX/RMNUB can automatically enter to a low power state: the energy detect mode. In this mode,
KSZ8864CNX/RMNUB will keep transmitting 120 ns wi dth pu lses at a r at e of one puls e p er s ec ond. O nc e ac tiv ity resumes
due to p lugging a c abl e or due t o an at tem pt b y the far end t o esta blis h link , the KSZ8864CNX/RMNUB c an autom aticall y
power up to its normal power state in energy detect mode.
Energy detect mode consists of two states, normal power state and low power state. While in low power state, the
KSZ8864CNX/RMNUB reduces power consumption by disabling all circuitry except the energy detect circuitry of the
receiver . T he ener gy detect m ode is enter ed by setting bit [4:3] = 01 i n Reg is ter 1 4. When t he KSZ8864CNX/RMNUB is in
this m ode, it will monitor th e c able energy. If ther e is no ener g y on the c ab le f or a time long er tha n pre-conf ig ur ed va lue at
bit [7:0] Go-Sleep time in Register 15, then the KSZ8864CNX/RMNUB will go into a low power state. When
KSZ8864CNX/RMNUB is in low power state, it will keep monitoring the cable energy. Once energy is detected from the
cable, KSZ8864CNX/RMNUB will enter normal power state. When KSZ8864CNX/RMNUB is at normal power state, it is
able to transmit or receive packets from the cable.

The soft power-down mode is entered by setting bit [4:3] = 10 in Register 14. When KSZ8864CNX/RMNUB is in this
mode, all PLL clocks ar e disabled, also all of the PHYs and the MACs are off. Any dummy host access will wake-up this
device from its current soft power-down mode to normal operation mode and internal reset will be issued to make all
internal registers go to the default values.
Power Saving Mode
The power saving m ode is entere d when auto-negotiation mode is enabled, the c able is disconnected, and by setting bit
[4:3] =11 in Re gister 14. W hen KSZ8864CNX/RMNUB is in this m ode, all PLL c locks are enabled, MAC is on, all i nternal
register va lues will not change, and the hos t interfac e is rea dy for C PU read or write. T his m ode mainl y controls t he PHY
transceiver on or off based on the line status to achieve power saving. The PHY remains transm itting and only turns off
the unused receiver block . Once acti vity resum es due to p lugging a cable or an a ttempt b y the far en d to est ablish a link,
the KSZ8864CNX/RMNUB can automatically enable the PHY to power up to its normal power state from power saving
mode.
During th is power saving m ode, the hos t CPU can set bit [ 4:3] in Reg ister 14 to trans it the current power saving m ode to
any one of the other three power management operation modes.
Port-Based Power-Down Mode
In addition, the KSZ8864CNX/RMNUB features a per-port power-down mode. To save power, a PHY port that is not in
use can be powered down by the Registers Port Control 13 bit3, or MIIM PHY Registers 0 bit11.
Functional Overview: Switch Core
Address Look-Up
The int ernal look -up tabl e stores MAC ad dresses an d their associat ed inform ation. It contains a 1K unicast address table
plus switching information. The KSZ8864CNX/RMNUB is guaranteed to learn 1K addresses and distinguishes itself from
a hash-based look-up table that, depending upon the operating environment and probabilities, may not guarantee the
absolute number of addresses it can learn.
Learning
The internal look-up engine updates its table with a new entry if the following conditions are met:
The received packet’s source address (SA) does not exist in the look-up table.
The received packet is good; the packet has no receiving errors and is of legal length.
The look -up engine inserts the qualified SA into the table, along with the port num ber and time stam p. If the table is full,
the last entry of the table is deleted first to make room for the new entry.
Migration
The internal look-up engine also monitors whether a station is moved. If this occurs, it updates the table accordingly.
Migration happens when the following conditions are met:
The received packet’s SA is in the table but the associated source port information is different.
The received packet is good; the packet has no receiving errors and is of legal length.
The look-up engine will update the existing record in the table with the new source port information.
Aging
The look -up engine w ill update the tim e stam p inf orm ation of a rec ord whene ver th e cor respon ding SA appear s . The tim e
stamp is used in the aging process. If a record is not updated for a period of time, the look-up engine will remove the
record from the table. The look-up engine constantly performs the aging process and will continuously remove aging
records . The agin g per iod is 300 ±75 sec onds. T his f eature c an be e nable d or dis abled thr ough R egister 3. S ee “Reg ister

Forwarding
The KSZ8864CNX/RMNUB will forward packets using an algorithm that is depicted in the following flowcharts. Figure 6
shows stage one of the forwarding algorithm where the search engine looks up the VLAN ID, static table, and dynamic
table for the destination address, and comes up with “port to forward 1” (PTF1). PTF1 is then further modified by the
spanning tree, IGMP snooping, port mirroring, and port VLAN processes to come up with “port to forward 2” (PTF2), as
shown in Figure 7. This is where the packet will be sent.
KSZ8864CNX/RMNUB will not forward the following packets:
Error packets. These include framing errors, FCS errors, alignment errors, and illegal size packet errors.
802.3x pause frames. The KSZ8864CNX/RMNUB will intercept these packets and perform the appropriate actions.
“Local” p ackets . Based on des tin ati on address (DA) l o ok-up. If the des t inat io n p ort from the lo ok-up table matc hes the
port where the packet was from, the packet is defined as “local.”
Switching Engine
The KSZ8864CNX/RMNUB features a high-performance switching engine to move data to and from the MACs, packet
buffers. It operates in store and forward mode, while the efficient switching mechanism reduces overall latency. The
KSZ8864CNX/RMNUB has a 64KB intern al fram e buffer. T his resourc e is shared bet ween all fi ve ports. T here are a tota l
of 512 buffers available. Each buffer is sized at 128B.
Media Access Controller (MAC) Operation
The KSZ8864CNX/RMNUB strictly abides by IEEE 802.3 standards to maximize compatibility.
Inter-Packet Gap (IPG)
If a f ram e is s ucces sf ully trans mitted, the 96-b it t ime IPG is meas ured between the two co ns ec ut ive MTXEN. I f the c urr ent
packet is experiencing collision, the 96-bit time IPG is measured from MCRS and the next MTXEN.
Back-off Algorithm
The KSZ8864CNX/RMNUB implements the IEEE 802.3 binary exponential back-off algorithm and optional “aggressive
mode” back-off. After 16 c ollisions, the packet will be optionally dropped depending on the chip configurat ion in Register
3. See “Register 3” for additional information.
Late Coll ision
If a transmit packet experiences collisions after 512-bit times of the transmission, the packet will be dropped.
Illegal Frames
The KSZ8864CNX/RMNUB discards frames less than 64 bytes and can be programmed to accept frames up to 1536
bytes in Re gister 4. For spec ial applicatio ns, the KSZ8864CNX/RMNUB c an also be progr ammed to ac cept frames up to
1916 bytes in Register 4. B ecause the KSZ8864CNX/RMNUB supports VLAN t ags , the m axim um sizing is adj usted wh en
these tags are present.
Flow Control
The KSZ8864CNX/RMNUB supports IEEE 802.3x flow control frames on both transmit and receive sides.
On the receive side, if the KSZ8864CNX/RMNUB receives a pause control frame, the KSZ8864CNX/RMNUB will not
transmit the next normal frame until the timer, specified in the pause control frame, expires. If another pause frame is
received befor e the curr ent tim er ex pires, the t im er wil l be updat ed with the ne w valu e in the s econ d pause f ram e. During
this period (being flow controlled), only flow control packets from the KSZ8864CNX/RMNUB will be transmitted.
On the transmit side, the KSZ8864CNX/RMNUB has intelligent and efficient ways to determine when to invoke flow
control. The flow control is based on the availability of system resources, including available buffers, available transmit
queues, and available receive queues.
The KSZ8864CNX/RMNUB flow controls a port that has just received a packet if the destination port resource is busy.
The KSZ8864CNX/RMNUB issues a flow control frame (XOFF), containing the maximum pause time defined in IEEE
802.3x. O nce th e resour ce is freed up, t he KSZ8864CNX/RMNUB sends out t he other flo w contro l fr ame (XO N) with zero
pause time to turn off the flow control (turn on transmission to the port). A hysteresis feature is also provided to prevent
over-activation and deactivation of the flow control mechanism.
The KSZ8864CNX/RMNUB flow controls all ports if the receive queue becomes full.

KSZ8864CNX/RMNUB
Half-Duplex Back Pressure
The KSZ8864CNX/RMNUB also provides a half-duplex back pressure option (note: this is not listed in IEEE 802.3
standards). The activation and deactivation conditions are the same as the ones given for full-duplex mode. If back
pressur e is required, the KSZ8864CNX/RMNUB sends pream bles to def er the ot her station's transmiss ion (carrier s ense
deference). To avoid jabber and excessive deference as defined in IEEE 802.3 standard, after a certain period of time, the
KSZ8864CNX/RMNUB dis continues carr ier se nse b ut rais es it qu ick l y af ter it dr ops pac k ets to in hibit other t ransm iss ions.
This s hor t silent t ime (no c arr ier s ens e) is to prevent ot her stat ions f r om s ending o ut packets and keeps ot her s tations in a
carrier s ense def erred stat e. If the por t has packets to send d uring a bac k pres sure sit uation, th e carrier -sense-type back
pressure is interrupted and those packets are transmitted instead. If there are no more packets to send, carrier-sense-
type back pressure becomes active again until switch resources are free. If a collision occurs, the binary exponential
backoff algorithm is skipped and carrier sense is generated immediately, reducing the chance of further colliding and
maintaining carrier sense to prevent reception of packets. To ensure no packet loss in 10BASE-T or 100BASE-TX half-
duplex modes, the user must enable the following:
Aggressive backoff (Register 3, bit 0)
No excessive collision drop (Register 4, bit 3)
Back pressure (Register 4, bit 5)
These bits are not set as the default because they are not the IEEE standard.
Broadcast Storm Protection
The KSZ8864CNX/RMNUB has an intelligent option to protect the switch system from receiving too many broadcast
packets. Broadcast packets are normally forwarded to all ports except the source port and thus use too many switch
resources (bandwidth and available space in transmit queues). The KSZ8864CNX/RMNUB has the option to include
“multicas t packets” for storm control. The broadcas t storm rate param eters are progr ammed global ly and ca n be enabled
or disabled on a per port basis. The rate is based on a 50ms (0.05s) interval for 100BT and a 500ms (0.5s) interval for
10BT. At the beginning of each interval, the counter is cleared to zero and the rate limit mechanism starts to count the
number of b ytes during t he int erval. T he rate definiti on is desc ribed in Regis ters 6 and 7. The def ault s ettin g for Register s
6 and 7 is 0x4A (74 decimal). This is equal to a rate of 1%, calculated as follows:
148,800 frames/sec × 50ms (0.05s)/interval × 1% = 74 frames/interval (approx.) = 0x4A.
MII Interface Operation
The media independent interface (MII) is specified by the IEEE 802.3 committee and provides a common interface
between p hysica l layer and MAC la yer de vices. T he KSZ8864CNX/RMNUB provides two M AC la yer interf aces f or MAC 3
and MAC 4. E ach of these MII/RMII interf aces contain s two distinct grou ps of signals, one f or transm ission and the other
for receiving.
Switch MAC3/MAC4 SW3/SW4-MII Interface
Table 3 sho ws two co nnection m anners. T he firs t is an exter nal MAC con nects to SW 3/SW 4-MII PHY m ode. The s econd

Please see the pins [47, 48] description for detail configuration for the MAC mode and PHY mode of the port 4 MAC4
SW4-MII, the default is SW4-MII with PHY mode. Please see the strap pin P2LED0 and the Register 223 bit 6 for the

The switch MII interface operates in either MAC mode or PHY mode for KSZ8864CNX/RMNUB. These interfaces are
nibble-wide data interfaces and therefore run at one-quarter the network bit rate (not enco ded). Additional s ignals on the
transmit side indicate when data is valid or when an error occurs during transmission. Likewise, the receive side has
indicators that conve y when the dat a is valid and w ithout ph ysical la yer errors. For half-duplex operation, th ere is a signa l
that indicates a collisi on ha s occur r ed during transmission.
Note tha t the s ign al MRX ER is not pr ovided on t he SW x -MII interfac e and th e si gnal MT XER is not prov ide d on t he SWx-
MII interface for both PHY and MAC mode operation. Normally MRXER would indicate a receive error coming from the
physical la yer dev ice. MT X ER wou ld i ndicate a tr ans m it error f rom the MAC dev ice. T hese signals ar e no t appro priat e for
this conf iguration. For PHY mode oper ation, if the d evice interfac ing with the KSZ8864CNX/RMNUB has an MRXER pin,
it should be tied low. For MAC mode operation, if the device interfacing with the KSZ8864CNX/RMNUB has an MTXER
pin, it should be tied low.

KSZ8864CNX/RMNUB
Switch MAC3/MAC4 SW3/SW4-RMII Interface
The Reduced Media Independent Interface (RMII) specifies a low pin count Media Independent Interface (MII). The
KSZ8864CNX/RMNUB supports RMII interface at Port 3 and port 4 switch sides and provides a common interface at
MAC3 and MAC4 layer in the device, and has the following key characteristics:
Supports 10Mbps and 100Mbps data rates.
Uses a singl e 50 MH z clock ref erence (pr ovided inter nal ly or exter nall y): in inter nal m ode, the ch ip prov ides r efer ence
clock from SMxR XC pin to SMxTXC /SMxREFCLK pin and t he referenc e clock -in pin of the oppos ite RMII; i n externa l
mode, the chip receives 50MHz reference clock from an external oscillator or opposite RMII interface to
SW4TXC/SM4REFCLK pin only.
Provides independent 2-bit wide (bi-bit) transmit and receive data paths.
Table 4 shows two types of RMII connections of MAC to MAC and MAC to PHY.
The first is an external MAC connects to SW3/4-RMII with ‘PHY mode’ .
The second is an external PHY connects to SW3/4-RMII with ‘MAC m ode’.
When the strap pin P1LED0 is pulled down, the switch MAC4 is SW4-RMII mode after power up reset or warm reset.
When the strap pin P2LED0 is pulled down, the switch MAC3 is SW3-RMII mode after power up reset or warm reset.

KSZ8864CNX/RMNUB
KSZ8864CNX/RMNUB provides two RMII interfaces for MAC3 and MAC4:
Switch MAC4 SW 4-RMII interfac e can be us ed to pro vide 50MH z clock to oppos ite RMII from SM4RXC pin with loop
back to SM4TX C pin. The SW 4-RMII inter face can be used t o acce pt 50MHz f rom external 50 MHz clock to SM4T XC
when KSZ8864CNX/RMNUB is configured to norm al mode by the strap pin P1LED1 pull-down. I n the norm al mode,
the clock source of the KSZ8864CNX/RMNUB comes from the SM4TXC.
Switch MAC3 SW 3-RMII interfac e can be used to pro vide 50MH z clock to oppos ite RMII from SM3RXC pin with loop
back to SM3TXC pin. The SW3-RMII interface cannot be used to accept 50MHz from external to SM3TXC with the
normal mode configuration.
The default of the device is clock mode because the P1LED1 is pulled up internally, the clock mode means the clock
source comes from 25MH z crystal/oscillator on pins X1/X2, and the 50MHz clock will be output from the SMxRXC pin in
RMII interf ace to be us ed, the 50 MHz can be disable d by the R egister 87 bit 3 for SM4RXC if the RMII ref erenc e clock is
not used. For the detail RMII connection samples, please refer to the application note in the design kit.
Advanced Functionality
QoS Priority Support
The KSZ8864CNX/RMNUB provides qualit y of service (QoS) for applications such as VoIP and video conf erencing. The
KSZ8864CNX/RMNUB offer 1/2/4 priority queues option per port by setting the port Registers xxx control 9 bit1 and the
Registers Port Control 0 bit0, the 1/2/4 queues split as follows:
[Registers Port Control 9 bit1, control 0 bit0]=00 single output queue as default.
[Registers Port Control 9 bit1, control 0 bit0]=01 egress port can be split into two priority transmit queues.
[Registers Port Control 9 bit1, control 0 bit0]=10 egress port can be split into four priority transmit queues.
The f our priorit y transm it queues is a n ew f eature in the KSZ8864CNX/RMNUB. The queue 3 is th e highes t prior it y queue
and Queue 0 is the lowest priority queue. The port Registers xxx control 9 bit1 and the port Registers xxx control 0 bit0
are used to enable split transmit queues for ports 1and 2, respectively. If a port's transmit queue is not split, high priority
and low priorit y pack ets have equ al priori t y in the tran sm it queue.
There is an additiona l optio n to either al ways deli ver hi gh prior it y packets f irs t or use program m able weighte d f air queuing
for the four priorit y queues scale by the Registers Port Control 10, 11, 12 and 13 (def ault value are 8, 4, 2, 1 by their bit
[6:0].
Register 130 bit [7:6] Prio_ 2Q[1:0] is used w hen the 2 Queue conf iguration is se lected, thes e bits are used to m ap the 2-
bit result of IEEE 802.1 p fr om the Re gisters 128, 129 or T OS/D iff Serv m apping f rom Register s 144-15 9 (f or four Queues)
into two queues m ode with pr iority high or low.
Please see the descriptions of the Register 130 bits [7:6] for details.
Port-Based Priority
W ith port-based priority, ea ch ingress por t is individua lly classif ied as a priorit y 0-3 rec eiving port. Al l packets rec eived at
the priority 3 receiving port are marked as high priority and are sent to the high-priority transmit queue if the corresponding
transmit queue is split. The Registers Port Control 0 Bits [4:3] is used to enable port-based priority for ports 1 and 2,
respectively.
802.1p-Based Priority
For 802.1p-bas e d pr i ority, the KSZ8864CNX/RMNUB ex amines the i ngres s (inc o ming) pack ets to det er mine wheth er t hey
are tagged. If tagged, the 3-bit priority field in the VLAN tag is retrieved and compared against the “priority mapping”
value, as specified by the Registers 128 and 129, both Register 128/129 can map 3-bit priority field of 0-7 value to 2-bit
result of 0-3 priority levels. The “priority mapping” value is programmable.
Figure 6 illustrates how the 802.1p priority field is embedded in the 802.1Q VLAN tag.
April 2, 2014 32 Revision 1.2
Micrel, Inc.
KSZ8864CNX/RMNUB
Figure 6. 802.1p Priority Field Format
802.1p-based priority is enabled by bit [5] of the Registers Port Control 0 for Ports 1 and 2, respectively.
The KSZ8864CNX/RMNUB provides the option to insert or remove the priority tagged frame's header at each individual
egress por t. This head er, consisting of the 2 bytes V LAN Protoco l ID (VPI D) and the 2-byte Tag Contr ol Inform ation field
(TCI), is also referred to as the IEEE 802.1Q VLAN tag.
Tag Insertion is enabled by bit [2] of the Register Port Control 0 and the Register Port Control 8 t o select which source
port (ingress port) PVID can be inserted on the egress port for Ports 1, 2, 3 and 4, respectively. At the egress port,
untagged packets are tagged with the ingress port’s default tag. The default tags are programmed in the Registers Port
Control 3 and Control 4 for ports 1, 2, 3 and 4, respectively. The KSZ8864CNX/RMNUB will not add tags to already
tagged packets.
Tag Removal is ena bled by bit [1] of the Regist ers Port C ontrol 0 for Ports 1, 2, 3 and 4, respec tivel y. At the egress port,
tagged packets will have their 802.1Q VLAN Tags removed. The KSZ8864CNX/RMNUB will not modify untagged
packets.
The CRC is recalculated for both tag insertion and tag removal.
802.1p Priority Field Re-mapping is a QoS feature that allows the KSZ8864CNX/RMNUB to set the “User Priority
Ceiling” at any ingress port by the Register Port Control 2 bit 7. If the ingress packet’s priority field has a higher priority
value than the default tag’s priority field of the ingress port, the packet’s priority field is replaced with the default tag’s
priority field.
DiffServ-B ased Priori ty
DiffServ-based priority uses the ToS Registers (Registers 144 to 159) in the Advanced Control Registers section. The
ToS priority control registers implement a fully decoded, 128-bit Differentiated Services Code Point (DSCP) register to
determine packet priority from the 6-bit ToS field in the IP header. When the most significant 6 bits of the ToS field are
fully deco ded, the res ult ant of the 64 pos sibili ties of D SCP d ecode d is c om pared wit h the cor resp ondin g bit s in the D SCP
register to determine priority.
Spanning Tree Support
Port 4 is the designated port for spanning tree support.
The other ports (Port 1 Port 3) can be configured in one of the f ive spanning tree states via “transmit enable,” “receive
enable,” and “learning disable” register settings in Registers 34, 50 for Ports 1, 2 and 3, respectively. The following
description shows the port setting and software actions taken for each of the five spanning tree states.
Disable state: the port should not forward or receive any packets. Learning is disabled.
Port setting: "transmit enable = 0, receive enable = 0, learning disable = 1."
Software ac tion: the proc essor shoul d not send an y packets to the port. The s witch ma y s till send spec ific pa ckets to the
processor (pack ets that match some entries in the static table with “ overriding bit” set) and the processor should discard
those packets. Note: processor is connected to Port 4 through MAC4 SW4-MII/RMII interface. Address learning is
disab led on the port in this st ate.

Rapid Spanning Tree Support
There are three operational states of the Discarding, Learning, and Forwarding assigned to each port for RSTP:
Discarding ports Do not participate in the active topology and Do not learn MAC addresses.
Discarding state: the state includes three states of the disable, blocking, and list en ing of STP.
Port setting: "transmit enable = 0, receive enable = 0, learning disable = 1."
Software ac tion: the proc essor shoul d not send an y packets to the port. The s witch ma y s till send spec ific pack ets to the
processor (pack ets that match some entries in the static table with “ overriding bit” set) and the processor should discard
those pac kets. W hen disable the port’s le arning capab ility (learning d isable=’1’), s et the Register 1 b it5 and bit4 wi ll flus h
rapidly with the port related entries in the dynamic MAC table and static MAC table.
Note: processor is connected to Port 4 MAC 4 SW4-MII/RMII interface. Address learning is disabled on the port in this
state.
Ports in Learning states learn MAC addresses, but Do not forward user traffic.
Learning state: only packets to and from the processor are forwarded. Learning is enabled.

RSTP uses on l y one t ype o f BPDU called RSTP BPDUs. They are similar to STP Configuration BPDUs with the exception
of a type field set to “version 2” for RSTP and “version 0” for STP, and a flag field carrying additional information.
Tail Tagging Mode
The Tail Tag is only seen and used by the Port 4 interface, which should be connected to a processor by MAC 4 SW 4-
MII/RMII interface. The one byte tail tagging is used to indicate the source/destination port in Port 4. Only bit [31] are

IGMP Support
There are two parts involved to support the Internet Group Management Protocol (IGMP) in Layer 2. The first part is IGMP
snooping, the second part is this IGMP packet to be sent back to the subscribed port. Describe them as follows.
IGMP Snooping
The KSZ8864CNX/RMNUB traps IGMP packets and forwards them only to the processor (Port 4 SW4-MII/RMII). The
IGMP pack ets are identif ied as IP pack ets (either Ethernet IP pac kets, or IEEE 802.3 SNA P IP pack ets) with IP vers ion =
0x4 and protocol version number = 0x2. Set Register 5 bit [6] to ‘1’ to enable IGMP snooping.
IGMP Send Back to the Subscribed Port
Once the host responds the received IGMP packet, the host should know the original IGMP ingress port and send back
the IGMP packet to this port only, otherwise this IGMP packet will be broadcasted to all port to downgrade the
performance.
Enable th e tail tag m ode, the host will know the IGMP pack et received por t from tail tag bits [1:0] a nd can send back the
response IGMP packet to this subscribed port by setting the bits [3:1] in the tail tag. Enable “Tail tag mode” by setting
Register 12 bit 1.
Port Mirror ing Support
KSZ8864CNX/RMNUB supports “port mirror” comprehensively as:
“Receive Only” Mirror on a Port
All the packets receive d on the port will be m irror ed on the s niff er port. For exam ple, Port 1 is programm ed to b e
“rx sniff,” and Port 2 is programmed to be the “sniffer port.” A packet, received on Port 1, is destined to Port 3 after
the internal look-up. The KSZ8864CNX/RMNUB will forward the packet to both Port 2 and Port 3.
KSZ8864CNX/RMNUB can optionally forward even “bad” received packets to Port 3.
“Transmit Only” Mirror on a Port
All the pack ets transmitted on the port will be mirrored on the sniffer port. For exam ple, Port 1 is programmed to
be “tx snif f,” and Port 2 is program med to be t he “snif fer port.” A pack et, receiv ed on an y of the ports , is d estined
to port 1 after the internal look-up. The KSZ8864CNX/RMNUB will forward the packet to both Ports 1 and 2.
“Receive and Transmit” Mirror on a Port
All the packets received on port A AND transm itted on port B will be mirrored on the sniffer port. To turn on the
“AND” f eature, set R egister 5 bit 0 to 1. For exam ple, Port 1 is pr ogram m ed to be “rx sniff and tx sniff ,” and Port 2
is program med to be th e “s nif f er port .” When rec eived and t ra ns mit pack ets on po rt 1. T he KSZ8864CNX/RMNUB
will monitor port 1 packets on Port 2.
Multiple ports can be selected to be “rx sniffed” or “tx sniffed.” And any port can be selected to be the “sniffer port.” All
these per port features can be selected through Register 17.
VLAN Support
KSZ8864CNX/RMNUB supports 128 active VLANs and 4096 possible VIDs specified in IEEE 802.1q. The
KSZ8864CNX/RMNUB pr ovides a 128-e n tr y V LA N ta ble, which corr espond t o 4096 possi ble VIDs and con verts to FI D (7
bits) for address look-up maximum of 128 active VLANs. If a non-tagged or null-VID-tagged packet is received, the
ingress port VID is used for look-up when 802.1q is enabled by the global Register 5 control 3 bit 7. In the VLAN mode,
the look-up process starts from VLAN table look-up to determine whether the VID is valid. If the VID is not valid, the
packet will be dropped and its address will not be learned. If the VID is valid, then FID is retrieved for further look-up by
the static MAC table or dynamic MAC table. FID+DA is used to determine the destination port. The followed table
describes the d ifferenc e actions at d iffer ent situations of DA and FID+ DA in the s tatic MAC t able and d ynam ic MAC table
after the VLAN table finishes a look-up action. FID+SA is used for learning purposes. Table 6 also describes how to
learning in the dynamic MAC table when VLAN table has done a look-up and the static MAC table without a valid entry.

PVID” defined in bits [6:5] of the Register Port Control 2. These features can be controlled on a port basis.
Rate Limiting Support
The KSZ8864CNX/RMNUB provides a fine resolution hardware rate limiting. The rate step is 64Kbps when the rate limit is
less than 1 Mb ps r ate f or 100BT or 10BT . The rate s tep is 1Mbps when t h e rate limit is more than 1Mb ps r ate f or 100BT or
10BT (refer to Data Rate Selection Table which follow the end of the Port Register Queue 03 Ingress/Egress Limit
Control section). The rate limit is independently on the “receive side” and on the “transmit side” on a per port basis. For
10BASE-T, a rate set ting abov e 10M bps m eans the ra te is not lim ited. O n the r ecei ve side, the data recei ve r ate for eac h
priority at each port can be limited by setting up Ingress Rate Control Registers. On the transmit side, the data transmit
rate for each priority queue at each port can be limited by setting up Egress Rate Control Registers. The size of each
fram e has options to inc lude minim um IFG (Int er Frame Gap) or Preamble b yte, in ad dition to the data field (from pack et
DA to FCS).
Ingress Rate Limit
For ingress rate limiting, KSZ8864CNX/RMNUB provides options to selectively choose frames from all types, multicast,
broadcast, and flooded unicast frames by bits [32] of the port rate limit control register. The KSZ8864CNX/RMNUB
counts the data rate from those selected type of frames. Packets are dropped at the ingress port when the data rate
exceeds the specified rate limit or when the flow control takes effect without packet dropped. This occurs when the
ingress rate limit flow control is enabled by the port rate limit control register bit 4. The ingress rate limiting supports the
port-based, 802.1p and DiffServ-based priorities, the port-based priority is fixed priority 03 selection by bits [43] of the
Register Port Control 0. The 802.1p and Diff Serv-based priorit y can be m apped to priority 03 by default of the Register
128 and 12 9. I n the i ngress rate lim it, set R egist er 135 Glob al Contr ol 19 bit3 i n or der for the queu e-base d rate l im it to be
enabled if use two queues or four queues mode, all related ingress ports and egress port should be split into two or four
queues m ode by the Regis ters Port C ontrol 9 and Co ntrol 0. The f our queues mode wil l use Q0Q3 for priorit y 03 by bit
[6-0] of th e p ort R e gister in gres s limit contro l 1 4. The t wo que ues mode will us e Q 0Q1 f or pr ior ity 0–1 by bit [6 0] of the
port Register ingress limit control 12.
The priority levels in the packets of the 802.1p and DiffServ can be programmed to priority 0-3 by the Register 128 and
129 for a re-mapping.

Egress Rate Limit
For egres s r ate l imiting, the Leaky Buck et al g orit hm is applie d to eac h o utp ut pr i orit y que ue f or shap ing outp ut traf f ic . Inter
frame gap is stretched on a per f rame base to generate smooth, non-burst egress traffic. The throughput of each output
priority queue is lim ited by the egress rate specified by the data rate selection table followed the egress rate limit control
registers.
If any egress queue receives more traffic than the specified egress rate throughput, packets may be accumulated in the
output queue and packet m emory. After the memory of the queue or the port is used up, packet dropping or f low control
will be triggered. As a result of congestion, the actual egress rate may be dominated by flow control/dropping at the
ingress e nd, and ma y be theref ore slightl y less th an the specifie d egress r ate. The egress rate limiting s upports the port-
based, 802.1p and DiffServ-based priorities, the port-based priority is fixed priority 03 selection by bits [43] of the
Register Port Control 0. The 802.1p and Diff Serv-based priorit y can be m apped to priority 03 by default of the Register
128 and 129. In the egress rate limit, set Register 135 global control 19 bit3 for queue-based rate limit to be enabled if
using two queues or four queues m ode. All related ingress ports and egr ess port shou ld be split into t wo or f our queues
mode b y the Registers Port Control 9 and Control 0. T he four queues mode will use Q0-Q3 for priority 0-3 by bit [6-0] of
the port Register egress limit control 14. The two queues mode will use Q0Q1 for priority 01 by bit [60] of the port
Register egress limit control 12. The priority levels in the packets of the 802.1p and DiffServ can be programmed to
priority 03 by the Reg ister 128 and 129 for a re-mapping.
With egress rate limit just use one queue per port for the egress port rate limit, the priority packets will be based on the
data rate selection table with the rate limit exact number. If egress rate limit use more than one queue per port for the
egress port rate limit, the highest priority packets will be based on the data rate selection table for the rate limit exact
number and other lower priority packet rate will be limited based on 8:4:2:1 (default) priority ratio based on the highest
priority rate. The transmit queue priority ratio is programmable.
To reduce congestion, it is a good practice to make sure the egress bandwidth exceeds the ingress bandwidth.
Transmit Queue Ratio Programming
In transm it queues 0-3 of the egress port, the default priority ratio is 8:4:2:1, the priorit y ratio can be programmed by the
Registers Port C on tr ol 10, 11, 12, and 1 3. When the trans mit rate ex c ee d th e r at i o limit in t he trans mit que u e, th e tr a ns mit
rate will be limited by the transmit queue 0-3 ratio of the Register Port Control 10, 11, 12, and 13. The highest priority
queue will be no limited, other lower priority queues will be limited based on the transmit queue ratio.
Filtering for Self-Address, Unknown Unicast/Multicast Address and Unknown VID Packet/IP Multica st
Enable Self-address filtering, the unknown unicast packet filtering and forwarding by the Register 131 Global Control 15.
Enable Unknown multicast packet filtering and forwarding by the Register 132 Global Control 16.
Enable Unknown VID packet filtering and forwarding by the Register 133 Global Control 17.
Enable Unknown IP multicast packet filtering and forwarding by the Register 134 Global Control 18.
This f unction is very useful in preventing those kinds of packets that could degrade the quality of the port in app lications
such as voice over Internet Protocol (VoIP) and the daisy chain connection to prevent packets into endless loop.
Configuration Interface
I2C Master Serial Bus Configuration
If a 2-wire EEPROM exists, the KSZ8864CNX/RMNUB can perform more advanced features like broadcast storm
protecti on and rate c ontrol. The EEPRO M should h ave the ent ire valid configurat ion data f rom Register 0 to Regis ter 255
defined in t he “ Memor y Map,” ex c ept the s t atus registers and i ndirec t re gis ter s. A f t er r eset , the KSZ8864CNX/RMNUB will
start to read all contr ol registers sequentially from the EEPROM. T he configuration access time (tprgm) is less than 30m s,
as shown in Figure 8.

KSZ8864CNX/RMNUB
Figure 8. KSZ8864CNX/RMNUB EEPROM Configuration Timing Diagram
To configure the KSZ8864CNX/RMNUB with a pre-configured EEPROM use the following steps:
1. At the board l evel, con nect p in 56 o n the KSZ8864CNX/RMNUB to t he SC L pin on the EEPROM. Connect pin 57 on
the KSZ8864CNX/RMNUB to the SDA pin on the EEPROM.
2. A [2-0] address pins of EEPROM should be tied to ground for A [2-0] = ‘000’ to be identified by the
KSZ8864CNX/RMNUB.
3. Set the input signals PS[1:0] (pins 59 and 60, respectively) to “00.” This puts the KSZ8864CNX/RMNUB serial bus
configuration into I2C master mode.
4. Be sure the board-level reset signal is connected to the KSZ8864CNX/RMNUB reset signal on pin 61 (RST_N).
5. Program t he cont ent s of the E EPROM bef or e plac ing i t on t he board wit h th e desir ed configurat ion data. N ot e that the
first byte in the EE PROM m ust be “95” and the Re gister1 c hip ID bit [7-4] = 0 f or the loading to oc cur prop erly. If this
value is not correc t, all othe r data will be ign ored.
6. Place EEPROM on the board and power up the board. Assert the active-low board level reset to RST_N on the
KSZ8864CNX/RMNUB. After the reset is de-asserted, the KSZ8864CNX/RMNUB will begin reading configuration
data from the EEPROM. The configuration access time (tprgm) is less than 30ms.
SPI Slave Ser ial Bus Configuration
The KSZ8864CNX/RMNUB can also act as an SPI slave devic e. Through the SPI, the ent ire feature set c an be enabled,
including “VLAN,” “IGMP snooping,” “MIB counters,” etc. The external master device can access any register from
Register 0 to Register 255 randomly. The system should configure all the desired settings before enabling the switch in
the KSZ8864CNX/RMNUB. To enable the switch, write a "1" to Register 1 bit 0.
Two standar d SPI comm ands are supported ( 00000011 f or “READ DATA,” and 0 0000010 for “W RITE DATA”). T o speed
configuration time, the KSZ8864CNX/RMNUB also s u ppor ts multiple r eads or wri tes . Af ter a b yte is writt en t o or read f r om
the KSZ8864CNX/RMNUB, the i ntern al addr es s c oun t er automatical l y increments if the S PI S lave Se lec t Signal (SPIS_N)
continues to be driven low. If SPIS_N is kept low after the first byte is read, the next byte at the next address will be
shifted out o n SPIQ. If SPIS_N is k ept low after the f irst b yte is written, bits on t he Master Out Slave In put (SPI D) line wi ll
be written to the next a ddress. Ass erting SPIS_N high terminates a read or write oper ation. This m eans that the S PIS_N
signal must be asserted high and then low again before issuing another command and address. The address counter
wraps bac k to zero onc e it r eaches th e h ig hes t a ddr ess. Theref ore the entire r eg i ster s et c an be wr itt en t o or r ead f r om b y

The default SPI clock speed is 12.5MHz. The KSZ8864CNX/RMNUB is able to support a SPI bus up to 25MHz (set
Register 12 bit [5:4] =0x10). A high performance SPI master is recommended to prevent internal counter overflow.

2. Set the input signals PS[1:0] (pins 59 and 60, respectively) to “10” to set the serial configuration to SPI slave mode.
3. Power up t he b oar d and as s ert a r es et sig na l. Af ter reset wait 10 0µs , the s t ar t s witc h b it in R e gister 1 will be set t o ‘0’.
Configure the desired settings in the KSZ8864CNX/RMNUB before setting the start switch to ‘1.'
4. Write configuration to registers using a typical SPI write data cycle as shown in Figure 9 or SPI multiple write as
shown in Figure 11. Note that data input on SPID is registered on the rising edge of SPIC.
5. Register s can be read an d configurat ion can be ver ified with a t ypical SPI rea d data c ycle as shown in Fi gure 10 or a
multiple read as shown in Figure 12. Note that read data is registered out of SPIQ on the falling edge of SPIC.
6. After configuration is written and verified, write a ‘1’ to Register 1 bit 0 to begin KSZ8864CNX/RMNUB switch
operation.

MII Management Interface (MIIM)
The KSZ8864CNX/RMNUB supports the standard IEEE 802.3 MII Management Interface, also known as the
Management Data Input/output (MDIO) Interface. This interface allows upper-layer devices to monitor and control the
states of the KSZ8864CNX/RMNUB. An external device with MDC/MDIO capability is used to read the PHY status or
configure the PHY settings. Further detail on the MIIM interface is found in Clause 22.2.4.5 of the IEEE 802.3u
specification.
The MIIM interface consists of the following:
A physical connection that incorporates the data line (pin 54 MDIO) and the clock line (pin 53 MDC).
A specific protocol that operates across the aforementioned physical connection that allows an external controller to
communicate with the KSZ8864CNX/RMNUB device.
Access to a set of eig ht 16-bit re gisters, cons isting of 8 s tandard MIIM R egisters [0:5h ], 1d and 1f MIIM regi sters per
port.
The MIIM Interface can operate up to a maximum clock speed of 10MHz MDC clock.

The MIIM interface does not have access to all the configuration registers in the KSZ8864CNX/RMNUB. It can only
access the standard MIIM registers. See “MIIM Registers”. The SPI interface and MDC/MDIO SMI mode, on the other
hand, can be used to access the entire KSZ8864CNX/RMNUB feature set.
Serial Management Interface (SMI)
The SMI is the KSZ8864CNX/RMNUB non-standard MIIM interface that provides access to all KSZ8864CNX/RMNUB
configuration registers. This interface allows an external device with MDC/MDIO interface to completely monitor and
control the states of the KSZ8864CNX/RMNUB.
The SMI interface consists of the following:
A physical connection that incorporates the data line (MDIO) and the clock line (MDC).
A specific protocol that operates across the aforementioned physical connection that allows an external controller to
communicate with the KSZ8864CNX/RMNUB device.
Access all KSZ8864CNX/RMNUB configuration registers. Register access includes the Global, Port and Advanced
Control Registers 0-255 (0x00 0xFF), and indirect access to the standard MIIM Registers [0:5] and custom MIIM
Registers [29, 31].
The SMI Interface can operate up to a maximum clock speed of 10MHz MDC clock.

PHYAD [4, 3, 0] and R EGA D [4:0] are c o nc ate nate d t o f orm t he 8-bit addres s ; tha t is, {PH YAD [4 , 3, 0], R EG AD [4: 0]}
= bits [7:0] of the 8-bit address.
Register s are e ight data bits wide. For read op eration, data bi ts [15:8] are re ad bac k as 0’s . For write op eration, d ata
bits [15:8] are not defined, and hence can be set to either 0s or 1s.
SMI register access is the same as the MIIM register access, except for the register access requirements presented in
this section.

The IPv4/IPv6 TOS priority control registers implement a fully decoded 64 bit differentiated services code point (DSCP) register used
to determine priority from the 6 bit TOS field in the IP header. The most significant 6 bits of the TOS field are fully decoded into 64
possibilities, and the singular code that results is mapped to the value in the corresponding bit in the DSCP register.

Static MAC Address Table
KSZ8864CNX/RMNUB has a static and a dynamic address table. When a DA look-up is requested, both tables will be
searched t o make a packet f orward in g d ec isi on. When an SA lo ok-up is r eq ues te d, o nly the dynam ic tab le is sear ched for
aging, m igration, and learning p urposes. The s tatic DA lo ok-up result will have pr ecedence over the d ynamic DA look-up
result. If there are DA matches in both tables, the result from the static table will be used. The static table can only be
accessed and co ntrolled by an external SPI m aster (usually a processor). T he entries in the static table will not be aged
out by KSZ8864CNX/RMNUB. An external dev ice doe s all addition, m odif ic ation and deleti on.

VLAN Table
The VLAN table is us ed for VLAN ta ble look -up. If 802. 1q VLAN m ode is enabl ed (Register 5 bit 7 = 1), this table is use d
to retriev e VLAN information that is ass ociat ed with the in gress pack et. T here are thr ee fie lds for FID (f ilter ID ), Vali d, a nd
VLAN membership in the VLAN table. The three fields must be initialized before the table is used. There is no VID field
because 4096 VIDs are used as a dedicated memory address index into a 1024x52-bit memory space. Each entry has
four VLANs. Each VLAN has 13 bits. Four VLANs need 52 bits. There are a total of 1024 entries to support a total of
4096 VL AN IDs by usin g d edic at ed mem or y address and dat a bits . Refer t o T abl e 1 7 for d eta ils. F ID has 7-bits t o s u ppor t
128 active VLANs .
Table 15. VLAN Table
Address Name Description Mode Initial Value Suggestion
Format of Static VLAN Table (Support Max 4096 VLAN ID entries and 128 Active VLANs)
12 Valid 1, the entry is valid.
0, entry is invalid. R/W 0
11 7 Membership
Specifies which ports are members of the VLAN.
If a DA look-up fails (no match in both static and dynamic
tables), the packet associated with this VLAN will be
forwar ded to ports spec ifie d in this fie ld.
E.g., 11010 means Ports 4, 3, and 1 are in this VLAN.
Last bit7 is reserved
R/W 11111
6 0 FID
Filter ID. KSZ8864CNX/RMNUB supports 128 active
VLANs represented by these seven bit fields. FID is the
mapped ID. If 802.1q VLAN is enabled, the loo k-up w ill be
based on FID+DA and FID+SA.
R/W 0
If 802.1q VLAN mode is enabled, KSZ8864CNX/RMNUB assigns a VID to every ingress packet when the packet is
untagged or tagged with a null VID, the packet is assigned with the default port VID of the ingress port. If the packet is
tagged with non-null VID, the VID in the tag is used. The look-up process starts from the VLAN table look-up based on
VID number with its dedicated memory address and data bits. If the entry is not valid in the VLAN table, the packet is
dropped and no address learning occurs. If the entry is valid, the FID is retrieved. The FID+DA and FID+SA lookups in
MAC tables are performed. T he FID+DA look -up determines the forwarding ports. If FID+DA fails for look-up in the MAC
table, the packet is broadcast to all the members or specified members (excluding the ingress port) based on the VLAN
table. If FID+SA fails, the FID+SA is learned. To communicate between different active VLANs, set the same FID;
otherwise set a different FID.
The VL AN table configura tion is or gani zed as 1024 VLAN s ets, eac h VLAN set cons ists of 4 VLAN e ntries, to suppor t up
to 4096 VLAN entr ies. Each VL AN set has 52 bits and should b e read or written a t the sam e tim e specif ied by the indirec t
address.
The VLAN entries in the VLAN set is mapped to indirect data registers as follow:
Entry0[12:0] maps to the VLAN set bits [12-0] {Register119[4:0], Register120[7:0]}
Entry1[12:0] maps to the VLAN set bits [25-13]{Register117[1:0], Register118[7:0], Register119[7:5]}
Entry2[12:0] maps to the VLAN set bits [38-26]{Register116[6:0], Register117[7:2]}
Entry3[12:0] maps to the VLAN set bits [51-39]{Register114[3:0], Register115[7:0], Register116[7]}
In order to re ad one VLAN entr y, the VLA N set is read f irst and the specific VLAN entry inf ormation can be ex tracted. To
update any VLAN entry, the VL AN set is r ea d f irs t then only the des ired V LA N entr y is update d an d the w ho l e VLAN s et is
written back. Due to FID in VLAN table is 7-bit, so the VLAN table supports unique 128 flow VLAN groups. Each VLAN set
address is 10 bits long (Maximum is 1024) in the indirect address Register 110 and 111, the bits [9-8] of VLAN set
address is at bits [1-0] of Register 110 , and the bit [7-0] of VLAN set address is at bits [7-0] of Register 111. E ach W rite
and Read can access to four consecutive VLAN entries.

The KSZ8864CNX/RMNUB provides a t otal of 34 MI B counter p er port. T hese counter are used t o monitor the port detail
activity for network management and maintenance. These MIB counters are read using indirect memory access as
illustrated in the following examples:
Programming Examples: (12)
1. MIB counter read (read port 1 Rx64Octets counter)
Write to Register 110 with 0x1c (read MIB counters selected)
Write to Register 111 with 0x2e (trigger the read operation)
Then Read Reg is ter 117 (counter value 31-24)
// If bit 31 = 1, there was a counter overflow
// If bit 30 = 0, restart (reread) from this register
Read Register 118 (counter value 23-16)
Read Register 119 (counter value 15-8)
Read Register 120 (counter value 7-0)
2. MIB counter read (read port 2 Rx64Octets counter)
Write to Register 110 with 0x1c (read MIB counter selected)
Write to Register 111 with 0x4e (trigger the read operation)
Then Read Register 117 (counter value 31-24)
//If bit 31 = 1, there was a counter overflow
//If bit 30 = 0, restart (reread) from this register
Read Register 118 (counter value 23-16)
Read Register 119 (counter value 15-8)
Read Register 120 (counter value 7-0)
3. MIB counter read (read port 1 tx drop packets)
Write to Register 110 with 0x1d
Write to Register 111 with 0x01
Then Read Register 119 (counter value 15-8)
Read Register 120 (counter value 7-0)
Note:
12. To read out all the counters, the best performance over the SPI bus is (160+3) × 8 × 80 = 104us, where there are 255 registers, three overhead,
eight clocks per access, at 12.5MHz. In the heaviest condi tion, the byte count er will overflow in two minutes. It is recommended that the software
read all the counters at least every 30 seconds. The per port MIB counters are designed as “read clear.” A per port MIB counter will be cleared after
it is accessed. All port dropped pack et MIB counters are not cleared after they are accessed. The applicati on needs to keep track of overflow and
valid conditions on t hese counters.

All the registers defined in this section can be also accessed via the SPI interface. Note: different mapping mechanisms
used for MIIM and SPI. The “PHYAD” defined in KSZ8864CNX/RMNUB is assigned as “0x2” for port 1, “0x3” for port 2.
The “PHYAD” of 0x1, 0x4 and 0x5 are reserved for this device, an external PHY can use other PHY address (PHYAD)
from 0x6. The “REGAD” supported are 0x0-0x5 (0h-5h), 0x1D (1dh) and 0x1F (1fh).

Reset Circuit Diagram
Micrel recommends the following discrete reset circuit, as shown in Figure 26, when powering up the
KSZ8864CNX/RMNUB device. For the application where the reset circuit signal comes from another device (e.g., CPU,
FPGA, etc.), Micrel recommends the reset circ uit , as sho wn in Figure 27.
Figure 26. Recommended Reset Circuit
Figure 27. Recommended Circuit for Interfacing with CPU/FPGA Reset
In the res et circuit, R, C, a nd D1 provide the necessary ramp rise time to reset the Micrel device. T he D2 is for isolation
between Micrel device and CPU/FPGA. The reset out RST_OUT_n from CPU/FPGA can provides the warm reset after
power-up.

Selection of Isolation Transformer(19)
One simple 1:1 isolation transformer is needed at the line interface. An isolation transformer with integrated common-
mode choke is recommended for exceeding FCC requirements at line side. Request to separate the center taps of
RX/TX(20) at chip side. Table 30 gives recommended transformer characteristics.
Table 27. Transformer Selection Criteria
Characteristics Name Value Test Condition
Turns Ratio 1 CT : 1 CT
Open-Circuit Inductance (minimum) 350µH 100mV, 100kHz, 8mA
Insertion Lo ss (maximum) 1.1dB 0.1MHz t o 100MHz
HIPOT (minimum) 1500VRMS
Notes:
19. The IEEE 802.3u standard for 100BASE -TX ass umes a transformer loss of 0.5dB. For the transmit li ne transform er, insert i on loss of up to 1.3dB can
be compensated by increasing the li ne drive current by means of reducing the ISET resistor value.
20. The center taps of RX and TX should be isolated for the low power consumption in KSZ8864CNX/RMNUB.
