Addr Bit R/W Name Description
0x496
0 R LINK_PARTNER_AUTO_
NEGOTIATION_ABLE
Set to 1, indicates that the link partner
supports AN. The default value is 0.
1 R PAGE_RECEIVE A value of 1 indicates that a new page has been
received with new partner ability available in
the register partner ability. The default value is
0 when the system management agent
performs a read access.
0x4A2 15:0 RW Link timer[15:0] Low-order 16 bits of the 21-bit auto-negotia‐
tion link timer. Each timer step corresponds to
8 ns (assuming a 125 MHz clock). The total
timer corresponds to 16 ms. The reset value
sets the timer to 10 ms for hardware mode and
10 us for simulation mode.
0x4A3 4:0 RW Link timer[20:16] High-order 5 bits of the 21-bit auto-negotia‐
tion link timer.
0x4A4
0
RW SGMII_ENA Determines the PCS function operating mode.
Setting this bit to 1b'1 enables SGMII mode.
Setting this bit to 1b'0 enables 1000BASE-X
gigabit mode.
1 RW USE_SGMII_AN
In SGMII mode, setting this bit to 1b'1
configures the PCS with the link partner
abilities advertised during auto-negotiation. If
this bit is set to 1b'0, the PCS function should
be configured with the SGMII_SPEED and
SGMII_DUPLEX bits.
3:2 RW SGMII_SPEED
SGMII speed. When the PCS operates in
SGMII mode (SGMII_ENA = 1) and is not
programmed for automatic configuration
(USE_SGMII_AN = 0), the following encodings
specify the speed :
• 2'b00: 10 Mbps
• 2'b01: 100 Mbps
• 2'b10: Gigabit
• 2'b11: Reserved
These bits are not used when SGMII_ENA =
0or USE_SGMII_AN = 1.
4
RW SGMII half-duplex When set to 1, enables half-duplex mode for
10/100 Mbps speed. This bit is ignored when
SGMII_ENA = 0 or USE_SGMII_AN = 1. These
bits are only valid when you enable the SGMII
mode only and not the clause-37 auto-negotia‐
tion mode.
