Table 13.   PHY Interface Signals
Signal Direction Width Description
rx_serial_data[] input [NUM_CHANNELS] RX serial input data
tx_serial_data[] output [NUM_CHANNELS] TX serial output data
ethernet_1g_an[] output [NUM_CHANNELS] Clause 37 Auto-Negotiation status. The PCS function asserts this signal when auto-negotiation completes.
ethernet_1g_char_err[] output [NUM_CHANNELS] 10-bit character error
ethernet_1g_disp_err[] output [NUM_CHANNELS] Disparity error signal indicating a 10-bit running disparity error.
channel_ready[] output [NUM_CHANNELS] Asserted when the channel is ready for data transmission.
ethernet_link_ready[] output [NUM_CHANNELS] Asserted after PHY reconfiguration is done for the ethernet channel and ready for register configuration.
ethernet_speed_sel[][] output [NUM_CHANNELS][1:0] Indicates the link fault status from the RS RX to the RS TX.
  • 2’b00: 10G
  • 2’b01: 1G
  • 2’b10: 100M
  • 2’b11: 10M
ethernet_10g_link_fault_status[][] output [NUM_CHANNELS][1:0] Indicates the link fault status from the RS RX to the RS TX.
  • 00: No link fault
  • 01: Local fault
  • 10: Remote fault
