6.8. Status Signals

Table 23.  Status Signals
Signal Name Direction Clock Domain Width Description PHY Configurations
led_char_err Output Synchronous to rx_clkout 1 Asserted when a 10-bit character error is detected in the RX data. This signal is not applicable for 10GbE.
  • 2.5G
  • 1G/2.5G
  • 10M/100M/1G/2.5G
  • 1G/2.5G/10G (MGBASE-T)
  • 10M/100M/1G/2.5G/10G (MGBASE-T)
led_link Output Synchronous to tx_clkout 1 Asserted when the link synchronization for 1GbE or 2.5GbE is successful. This signal is not applicable for 10GbE.
led_disp_err Output Synchronous to rx_clkout 1 Asserted when a 10-bit running disparity error is detected in the RX data. A running disparity error indicates that more than the previous and perhaps the current received group had an error. This signal is not applicable for 10GbE.
led_an Output Synchronous to rx_clkout 1 Asserted when auto-negotiation is completed. This signal is not applicable for 10GbE. All
led_panel_link Output Synchronous to rx_clkout 1 When asserted, this signal indicates the following behavior:
Mode Behavior
1000 Base-X without Auto-negotiation When asserted, indicates successful link synchronization.
SGMII mode without Auto-negotiation When asserted, indicates successful link synchronization.
1000 Base-X with Auto-negotiation Clause 37 Auto-negotiation status. The PCS function asserts this signal when auto-negotiation completes.
SGMII mode with MAC mode Auto-negotiation Clause 37 Auto-negotiation status. The PCS function asserts this signal when auto-negotiation completes.
This signal is applicable only when SGMII 10M/100M mode is enabled.
  • 10M/100M/1G/2.5G
  • 10M/100M/1G/2.5G/10G (MGBASE-T)
rx_block_lock Output Synchronous to rx_clkout 1 Asserted when the link synchronization for 10GbE of MGBASE-T and all speeds of USXGMII is successful.
  • 1G/2.5G/10G (MGBASE-T)
  • 10M/100M/1G/2.5G/10G (MGBASE-T)
  • 10M/100M/1G/2.5G/5G/10G (USXGMII)
The latency indicators are connected from PHY to MAC block, where the MAC block uses them to calculate timestamp of the transmitted or received packets. For more information, refer to Low Latency Ethernet 10G MAC Intel® Stratix® 10 FPGA IP Design Example User Guide.
