MAC Status Signals

The MAC status signals which allow you to set the transfer mode of the Ethernet-side interface.

Table 7-4: MAC Status Signals

Description

I/O

Name

Ethernet mode. This signal is set to 1 when the MAC function is
configured to operate at 1000 Mbps; set to 0 when it is configured to
operate at 10/100 Mbps.

O

eth_mode

10 Mbps enable. This signal is set to 1 to indicate that the PHY interface
should operate at 10 Mbps. Valid only when the

eth_mode

signal is set

to 0.
