SMSC LAN8720/LAN8720i

The  LED2/nINTSEL pin is used to select between one of two available modes: REF_CLK In Mode

and REF_CLK Out Mode. The configured mode determines the function of the nINT/REFCLK0 pin. 

When configured for REF_CLK Out Mode, the LAN8720 generates the 50MHz RMII REF_CLK and
the interrupt is not available in this mode.

The nINTSEL pin is shared with the LED2 pin. The LED2 output will automatically change polarity
based on the presence of an external pull-down resistor. If the LED pin is pulled high (by the internal
pull-up resistor) to select a logical high for nINTSEL, then the LED output will be active low. If the LED
pin is pulled low by an external pull-down resistor to select a logical low nINTSEL, the LED output will
then be an active high output. 

To set nINTSEL without LEDs, float the pin to set nINTSEL high or pull-down the pin with an external
resistor to GND to set nINTSEL low. See 

The LED2/nINTSEL pin is latched on the rising edge of the nRST. The default setting is to float the
pin high for nINT mode. 

LED2/nINTSEL = 0

nINT/REFCLK0 is the source of REF_CLK. 

LED2/nINTSEL = 1

nINT/REFCLK0 is an active low interrupt output.
