1.4.20LED 0 and 2 Configuration Defaults (Word 18h)

This NVM word specifies the hardware defaults for the LEDCTL register fields controlling the LED0 (LINK/ACTIVITY) and LED2 (LINK_100) output behaviors.

Bit

Name

Default

 

Description

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

This bit indicates the initial value of the LED2_BLINK field.

15

LED2 Blink

0b

0b

= LED2 is non-blinking.

 

 

 

1b

= LED2 is blinking.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

This bit indicates the initial value of the LED2_IVRT field.

14

LED2 Invert

0b

0b

= LED2 has an active low output.

 

 

 

1b

= LED2 has an active high output.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

This bit defines the LED2 blink mode:

13

LED2 Blink Mode

0b

0b

= Blink at 200 ms on and 200 ms off.

1b

= Blink at 83 ms on and 83 ms off.

 

 

 

 

 

 

Note: This field should be identical to the LED0 Blink Mode.

 

 

 

 

12

Reserved

0b

This bit is reserved and should be set to 0b.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

These bits represent the initial value of the LED2_MODE field,

11:8

LED2 Mode

0110b

which specifies the event, state, or pattern displayed on LED2

(LINK_100) output. A value of 0110b causes this to indicate

 

 

 

 

 

 

100 Mb/s operation.
