4.22 Ethernet assembly timing specifications
The following timing specs are defined at the chip I/O pin and must be translated appropriately to arrive at timing
specs/constraints for the physical interface.
All Ethernet signals use pad type pad_fsr. The following timing specifications assume a pad slew rate setting of 11 and a load
of 50 pF.

Output numbers depend on the value programmed into the IFDR; an IFDR programmed with the maximum
frequency (IFDR = 0x20) results in minimum output timings as shown in Ta bl e 3 0. The I

C interface is
designed to scale the actual data transition time to move it to the middle of the SCL low period. The actual
position is affected by the prescale and division values programmed into the IFDR. However, the numbers
given in Ta bl e 30 are minimum values.

Because I2C_SCL and I2C_SDA are open-collector-type outputs, which the processor can only actively drive
low, the time I2C_SCL or I2C_SDA take to reach a high level depends on external signal capacitance and
pull-up resistor values.

1.These timing parameters are specified assuming maximum operating frequency and the fastest pad slew rate setting
(11). When operating this interface at lower frequencies, increase the slew rate by using the 10, 01, or 00 setting to
increase edge rise and fall times, thus reducing EMI.
