Description

I/O

Name

125-MHz TBI transmit clock from external SERDES, typically sourced
by the local reference clock oscillator.

I

tbi_tx_clk

125-MHz TBI receive clock from external SERDES, typically sourced
by the line clock recovered from the encoded line stream.

I

tbi_rx_clk

TBI receive data. This bus carries the data from the external SERDES.
Synchronize the bus with

tbi_rx_clk

. The data can be arbitrary

aligned.

I

tbi_rx_d[9:0]

Status LED Control Signals

Table 7-20: Status LED Interface Signals

Description

I/O

Name

When asserted, this signal indicates a successful link synchronization.

O

led_link

When asserted, this signal indicates some activities on the transmit
and receive paths. When deasserted, it indicates no traffic on the
paths.

O

led_crs

When asserted, this signal indicates that a collision was detected
during frame transmission. This signal is always deasserted when the
PCS function operates in standard 1000BASE-X mode or in full-
duplex mode when SGMII is enabled.

O

led_col

Auto-negotiation status. The PCS function asserts this signal when
an auto-negotiation completes.

O

led_an

10-bit character error. Asserted for one

tbi_rx_clk

cycle when an

erroneous 10-bit character is detected.

O

led_char_err

10-bit running disparity error. Asserted for one

tbi_rx_clk

cycle

when a disparity error is detected. A running disparity error indicates
that more than the previous and perhaps the current received group
had an error.

O

led_disp_err

SERDES Control Signals

Table 7-21: SERDES Control Signal

Description

I/O

Name

Power-down enable. Asserted when the PCS function is in power-
down mode; deasserted when the PCS function is operating in normal
mode. This signal is implemented only when an external SERDES is
used.

O

powerdown

SERDES Loopback Control. Asserted when the PCS function operates
in loopback mode. You can use this signal to configure an external
SERDES device to operate in loopback mode.

O

sd_loopback
