7.5. Flow Control Registers

Table 32.  Flow Control Registers
Word Offset Register Name Description Access HW Reset Value
0x0040 tx_pauseframe_control
  • Bits 1:0—configures the transmission of pause frames.

    00: No pause frame transmission.

    01: Trigger the transmission of an XON pause frame (pause quanta = 0), if the transmission is not disabled by other conditions.

    10: Trigger the transmission of an XOFF pause frame (pause quanta = tx_pauseframe_quanta register), if the transmission is not disabled by other conditions.

    11: Reserved. This setting does not trigger any action.

  • Bits 31:2—reserved.

Changes to this self-clearing register affects the next transmission of a pause frame.

RW 0x0
0x0042 tx_pauseframe_quanta
  • Bits 15:0—pause quanta in unit of quanta, 1 unit = 512 bits time. The MAC IP core uses this value when it generates XOFF pause frames. An XOFF pause frame with a quanta value of 0 is equivalent to an XON frame.
  • Bits 31:16—reserved.

Configure this register before you enable the MAC IP core for operations.

RW 0x0
0x0043 tx_pauseframe_holdoff_quanta
  • Bits 15:0—specifies the gap between two consecutive transmissions of XOFF pause frames in unit of quanta, 1 unit = 512 bits time. The gap prevents back-to-back transmissions of pause frames, which may affect the transmission of data frames.
  • Bits 31:16—reserved.

Configure this register before you enable the MAC IP core for operations.

RW 0x1
0x0044 tx_pauseframe_enable
  • Bit 0—configures the transmission of pause frames. This bit affects pause frame requests from both register and vector settings.

    0: Disables pause frame transmission.

    1: Enables pause frame transmission, if TX path is enabled by tx_packet_control.

  • Bits 2:1—specifies the trigger for pause frame requests.

    00: Accepts pause frame requests only from vector setting, avalon_st_pause_data.

    01: Accepts pause frame requests only from register setting, tx_pauseframe_control.

    10 / 11: Reserved.

  • Bits 31:3—reserved.

Configure this register before you enable the MAC IP core for operations.
