Demo Board for 10/100 and 100BASE-FX Applications — LXD970A 2.3 Power Supply Option The LXD970A includes a jumper (JP8), which provides a an optional power supply source for the VCC pins; VCCA (analog supply), VCCR (receive supply), VCCT (transmit supply) and VCCD (digital supply). In the original factory configuration, this jumper is shorted by a circuit trace and all LXD970A power is supplied via the MII pin (J1). However, the circuit trace can be easily cut to provide the JP8 isolation

Demo Board for 10/100 and 100BASE-FX Applications — LXD970A 4.0 Hardware Control Interface 4.1 Multi-Function Pins The Hardware Control Interface (JP1) provides access to the Multi-Function (MF) pins which decode 4-level supply voltages to establish two independent settings per pin. The first setting determines chip address. The second setting determines configuration of the LXD970A. The 4- level inputs referred to as VMF1, VMF2, VMF3 and VMF4 are shown in Table 3. Table 3. MF Pins Input Volt
