The following figure shows the MDIO ports of the core connected to the MDIO of an external STA entity. In this situation, mdio_i, mdio_o, and mdio_t must be connected to a 3-state buffer to create a bidirectional wire, mdio. This 3-state buffer can either be external to the FPGA or internally integrated by using an IOB IOBUF component with an appropriate SelectIO™ interface standard suitable for the external PHY.
