4.1.1.3 Software Reset

A software reset of the LAN8650/1 is available via the Soft Reset (SWRESET) bit in the standard OA_RESET register.

Note: The Software Reset (SW_RESET) bit of the Clause 22 Basic Control Register (BASIC_CONTROL) will reset only the internal PHY, not the entire device. This PHY‑only reset is not recommended for use. If such a reset is detected by reading the RESETC bit of the OA_STATUS0 register, reset the entire device.
