MDIO Description
The MDIO interface is a simple, two-wire, serial interface to connect a management entity and a managed PHY for the purposes of controlling the PHY and gathering status from the PHY. The two lines include the MDC line [Management Data Clock], and the MDIO line [Management Data Input/Output]. The clock is point-to-point, while the data line is a bi-directional multi-drop interface. The data line is Tri-statable and can drive 32 devices.
The MDIO interface is found on a number of devices, and is also a part of the Ethernet Bus MII Interface
