| 1 | User's manual for MDIO. | MDIO User's Manual. The decoder supports both Clause 45 and Clause 22 (legacy) decode. The recognition is automated, and decoding occurs on continuous clocks as well as packetized clock signals. |
| 2 | Wikipedia | Wiki Link. Only Clause 45 is discussed. |
| 3 | http://www.interfacebus.com | More perspectives on MDIO, out of the large library at www.interfacebus.com. |
| 4 | Total Phase, Inc. | Very clear explanation of MDIO, and why Clause 45 was designed, based on the shortcomings of Clause 22. |
| 5 | IEEE document | An IEEE work document in which the bit assignement is explained. Since the bit assignement is not standarised, the decode makes no attempt to interpret the bits (and bit fields) down to their individual functionality |

| MDIO signals decoded (examples) | ||
| Link | Explanation | |

| 1 |  |
Exemple of an MDIO transaction, fully decoded |
| 2 |  |
Exemple of several MDIO transaction, fully decoded. Note that in this case the 1 MHz clock is only active during the transactions. |
| 4 |  |
Another exemple of several MDIO transaction, fully decoded. In this case the clock is continuous, at 4 Mhz, and active also in-between transactions. There are no structural differences between messages transmited using a continous clock and a bursted clock |
| 5 |  |
When the bit labeling options is selected, every bit is decoded, and can be traced to its physical layer. |
| 6 |  |
As an alternative, the bit index can be shown, numbered from 0 to 63 for an MDIO message. This feature helps maping the fields to their contributing bits and is particularly useful when chasing bit banging issues |
| 7 |  |
This image shows a 1 MHz Clause 45 transaction. Amplitude is relatively small, and the 2 initial 0 bits manifest the Clause 45 encoding. |
| 8 |  |
As exemplified here, it is also possible to decode MDIO measured on digital lines. This presents an advantage when the analog channels are used for other signals. |
