Chapter 6 Signal Description Parameters
This section provides a detailed description of each SMSC LAN91C111 signal. The signals are
arranged in functional groups according to their associated function.
The ‘n’ symbol at the beginning of a signal name indicates that it is an active low signal. When ‘n’ is
not present before the signal name, it indicates an active high signal.
The term “assert” or “assertion” indicates that a signal is active; independent of whether that level is
represented by a high or low voltage. The term negates or negation indicates that a signal is inactive.
The term High-Z means tri-stated.
The term Undefined means the signal could be high, low, tri-stated, or in some in-between level.
