15.2.38 Threshold for Internal Clock15.2.39 Unicast Address Registers
Six registers that make up the 48 bit Unicast Address are:
Unicast Address[47:40] — Unicast Address 1
Unicast Address[39:32] — Unicast Address 2
Unicast Address[31:24] — Unicast Address 3
Unicast Address[23:16] — Unicast Address 4
Unicast Address[15:8] — Unicast Address 5
Unicast Address[7:0] — Unicast Address 6
Example: Unicast Address is 00-A0-24-D1-7F-02
Unicast Address 1 = 0x00
Unicast Address 2 = 0xA0
Unicast Address 3 = 0x24
Unicast Address 4 = 0xD1
Unicast Address 5 = 0x7F
Unicast Address 6 = 0x02
The detailed bit descriptions follow the six registers’ bit maps.

Register thresh_intclk
Bits Name Description
31:8 (Reserved)
7:0 Clock ratio
Holds ratio of PHY side clock (tx_clk or rx_clk) to sys_clk. PHY side clock
frequency/application clock frequency. Round up for value to be written to this
register.
Example: 25MHz PHY clock, 133 MHz application clock — Sets this register to
1. Any application, clock frequency greater than the tx_clk or rx_clk frequency
will have a clock ratio of 1. Always set to 1 for the Intel® IXP42X product line
and IXC1100 control plane processors.
