7.9Transmit Pause Control AC Timing Specification

Figure 49 and Table 55 show the pause control AC timing specifications. The Pause Control interface operates as an asynchronous interface relative to the main system clock (CLK125). There is, however, a relationship between the TXPAUSEADD bus and the strobe signal (TXPAUSEFR).
