REGISTER NOMENCLATURE

Register Bit Type Notation

Register Bit Description

R

Read: A register or bit with this attribute can be read.

W

Write: A register or bit with this attribute can be written.

RO

Read only: Read only. Writes have no effect.

RC

Read to Clear: Contents is cleared after the read. Writes have no effect.

WO

Write only: If a register or bit is write-only, reads will return unspecified data.

WC

Write One to Clear: Writing a one clears the value. Writing a zero has no effect.

W0C

Write Zero to Clear: Writing a zero clears the value. Writing a one has no effect.

LL

Latch Low: Applies to certain RO status bits. If a status condition causes this bit to go 
low, it will maintain the low state until read, even if the status condition changes. A read 
clears the latch, allowing the bit to go high if dictated by the status condition.

LH

Latch High: Applies to certain RO status bits. If a status condition causes this bit to go 
high, it will maintain the high state until read, even if the status condition changes. A 
read clears the latch, allowing the bit to go low if dictated by the status condition.

SC

Self-Clearing: Contents are self-cleared after the being set. Writes of zero have no 
effect. Contents can be read.

RESERVED

Reserved Field: Reserved fields must be written with zeros, unless otherwise indi-
cated, to ensure future compatibility. The value of reserved bits is not guaranteed on a 
read.

INTRODUCTION

2.1

General Description

The KSZ8567S is a highly-integrated, IEEE 802.3 compliant networking device that incorporates a layer-2 managed
high-performance Ethernet switch, five 10BASE-T/Te/100BASE-TX physical layer transceivers (PHYs) and associated
MAC units, and two individually configurable MAC ports (one SGMII interface, one RGMII/MII/RMII interface) for direct
connection to a host processor/controller, another Ethernet switch, or an Ethernet PHY transceiver. The SGMII port has
two modes of operation: SerDes mode (which supports 1000BASE-X fiber) and SGMII mode.
The KSZ8567S is built upon industry-leading Ethernet technology, with features designed to offload host processing
and streamline the overall design: 
• Non-blocking wire-speed Ethernet switch fabric
• Full-featured forwarding and filtering control, including port-based Access Control List (ACL) filtering
• Full VLAN and QoS support
• Traffic prioritization with per-port ingress/egress queues and by traffic classification
• Spanning Tree support
• IEEE 802.1X access control support
As a member of the EtherSynch product family, the KSZ8567S incorporates full hardware support for the IEEE 1588v2
Precision Time Protocol (PTP), including hardware time-stamping at all PHY-MAC interfaces, and a high-resolution
hardware “PTP clock”. IEEE 1588 provides sub-microsecond synchronization for a range of industrial Ethernet applica-
tions. 
The KSZ8567S fully supports the IEEE family of Audio Video Bridging (AVB) standards, which provides high Quality of
Service (QoS) for latency sensitive traffic streams over Ethernet. Time-stamping and time-keeping features support
IEEE 802.1AS time synchronization. All ports feature credit based traffic shapers for IEEE 802.1Qav, and a time aware
scheduler as proposed for IEEE 802.1Qbv. 
The 100Mbps PHYs feature Quiet-WIRE internal filtering to reduce line emissions and enhance immunity to environ-
mental noise. It is ideal for automotive or industrial applications where stringent radiated emission limits must be met. 
A host processor can access all KSZ8567S registers for control over all PHY, MAC, and switch functions. Full register
access is available via the integrated SPI or I

2

C interfaces, and by in-band management via any one of the data ports.

PHY register access is provided by a MIIM interface. Flexible digital I/O voltage allows the MAC port to interface directly
with a 1.8/2.5/3.3V host processor/controller/FPGA.
Additionally, a robust assortment of power-management features including IEEE 802.3az Energy-Efficient Ethernet
(EEE) for power savings with idle link, and Wake-on-LAN (WoL) for low power standby operation, have been designed
to satisfy energy-efficient system requirements.
The KSZ8567S is available in an extended (-40°C to +105°C) temperature range. An internal block diagram of the
KSZ8567S is shown in 

Figure 2-1
