25MHz Crystal Input.
This pin provides the 25MHz crystal input. If a 25MHz oscillator is used, connect
X1 to the oscillator’s output (see 8.3 Crystal Characteristics, page 30, for clock
source specifications.

Transmit Output.
Differential transmit output pair shared by 100Base-TX, 100Base-FX and
10Base-T modes. When configured as 100Base-TX, output is an MLT-3 encoded
waveform. When configured as 100Base-FX, the output is pseudo-ECL level.

Transmit Bias Resistor Connection.
This pin should be pulled to GND by a 2KΩ (1%) resistor to define driving
current for the transmit DAC. The resistance value may be changed, depending on
experimental results of the RTL8201CP.
