7.9. Reset Signals

The IP core has three external hard reset inputs. Assert these resets for ten clk_status or until you observe the effect of their specific resets. Intel recommends that you perform a system reset before starting the IP core operation, preferably by asserting csr_rst_n signal. Asserting csr_rst_n returns control and status registers to their original value. Control and Status registers control three parallel soft resets. The six signals are summarized below.
Table 17.   Reset Signals
Signal Direction Description
i_rst_n Input Active low reset asynchronous signal. Do not deassert until the o_rst_ack_n deasserts.
  • Resets the TX interface, including the TX PCS.
  • Resets the RX interface, including the RX PCS.
  • Resets the TX PMA and TX EMIB.
  • Resets the RX PMA and RX EMIB.

This reset leads to the assertion of the o_rst_ack_n output signals.

o_rst_ack_n Output Active low asynchronous acknowledgement signal for i_rst_n.

Do not deassert i_rst_n until the o_rst_ack_n asserts.

i_tx_rst_n Input Active low reset asynchronous signal. Resets the TX datapath, including the TX PCS, TX MAC, TX PMA, and TX EMIB. Do not deassert until the o_tx_rst_ack_n asserts.
o_tx_rst_ack_n Output Active low asynchronous acknowledgement signal for the i_tx_rst_n. Do not deassert i_tx_rst_n until the o_tx_rst_ack_n asserts.
i_rx_rst_n Input

Active low hard reset signal. Resets the RX datapath, including the RX PCS, RX MAC, RX PMA, and RX EMIB. Do not deassert until the o_rx_rst_ack_n asserts.

o_rx_rst_ack_n Output Active low asynchronous acknowledgement signal for the i_rx_rst_n. Do not deassert i_rx_rst_n until the o_rx_rst_ack_n asserts.
i_reconfig_reset Input Active high reconfiguration reset signal. Reset the entire transceiver and Ethernet reconfiguration clock domain, including the soft registers (CSRs).

You must assert this reset after power-on or during the configuration. The reconfig_clk must be stable before deasserting this reset.

csr_rst_n Input Active low hard reset. Resets the MAC control, status, and statistics registers.
O_rx_rst_ack_n Output Acknowledge signal for i_rx_rst_n. Active low. You must not deassert i_rx_rst_n until o_rx_rst_n is asserted.
O_tx_lanes_stable Output Asserted when TX Datapath is ready to send data; deasserts when i_tx_rst_n or i_rst_n is asserted, Active high.
