UTOPIA Level 2 Mode of Operation:

 

 

 

 

UTOPIA Level 2 output data. Also known as UTP_TX_DATA. Used to send data

 

 

 

 

from the processor to an ATM UTOPIA Level 2-compliant PHY.

UTP_OP_DATA[4] /

TRI

No

MII Mode of Operation:

ETHA_TXEN

Indicates that the PHY is being presented with nibbles on the MII interface.

 

 

 

 

 

 

Asserted synchronously, with respect to ETHA_TXCLK, at the first nibble of the

 

 

 

 

preamble, and remains asserted until all the nibbles of a frame are presented.

 

 

 

 

This MAC does not contain hardware hashing capabilities that are local to the

 

 

 

 

interface.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

UTOPIA Level 2 Mode of Operation:

UTP_OP_DATA[7:5]

TRI

No

UTOPIA Level 2 output data. Also known as UTP_TX_DATA. Used to send data

 

 

 

 

from the processor to an ATM UTOPIA Level 2-compliant PHY.

 

 

 

 

Transmit PHY address bus. Used by the processor when operating in MPHY

 

 

 

 

mode to poll and select a single PHY at any given time.

 

 

 

 

When this interface/signal is enabled and is not being used in a system design,

UTP_OP_ADDR[4:0]

I/O

Yes

the interface/signal should be pulled high with a 10-KΩresistor. When this

interface is disabled through the UTOPIA Level 2 and/or the NPE-A Ethernet soft

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

fuse and is not being used in a system design, it is not required for any

 

 

 

 

connection. Refer to Expansion Bus Controller chapter of the Intel® IXP43X

 

 

 

 

Product Line of Network Processors Developer’s Manual.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

UTOPIA Level 2 Output data flow control input: Also known as the TXFULL/CLAV

 

 

 

 

signal.

 

 

 

 

Used to inform the processor, the ability of each polled PHY to receive a complete

 

 

 

 

cell. For

 

 

 

 

cell-level flow control in an MPHY environment, TxClav is an active high tri-

 

 

 

 

stateable signal from the MPHY to ATM layer.

 

 

 

 

The UTP_OP_FCI is connected to multiple MPHY devices. It sees the logic high

UTP_OP_FCI

I

Yes

generated by the PHY, one clock after the given PHY address is asserted and a

full cell can be received by the PHY. The UTP_OP_FCI sees a logic low generated

 

 

 

 

by the PHY one clock cycle, after the PHY address is asserted, and a full cell

 

 

 

 

cannot be received by the PHY.

 

 

 

 

When this interface/signal is enabled and is not being used in a system design,

 

 

 

 

the interface/signal should be pulled high with a 10-KΩresistor. When this

 

 

 

 

interface is disabled through the UTOPIA Level 2 and/or the NPE-A Ethernet soft

 

 

 

 

fuse and is not being used in a system design, it is not required for any

 

 

 

 

connection. Refer to Expansion Bus Controller chapter of the Intel® IXP43X

 

 

 

 

Product Line of Network Processors Developer’s Manual.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

UTOPIA Level 2 Mode of Operation:

 

 

 

 

UTOPIA Level 2 Receive clock input. Also known as UTP_RX_CLK.

 

 

 

 

This signal is used to synchronize all UTOPIA Level 2-received inputs to the rising

 

 

 

 

edge of the UTP_IP_CLK.

 

 

 

 

MII Mode of Operation:

UTP_IP_CLK /

I

Yes

Externally supplied receive clock.

ETHA_RXCLK

• 25 MHz for 100 Mbps operation

 

 

 

 

 

 

• 2.5 MHz for 10 Mbps

 

 

 

 

This MAC interface does not contain hardware hashing capabilities that are local

 

 

 

 

to the interface.

 

 

 

 

When this interface/signal is enabled and is not being used in a system design,

 

 

 

 

the interface/signal should be pulled high with a 10-KΩresistor.

interface.
