UTOPIA Level 2 Mode of Operation:

 

 

 

 

UTOPIA Level 2 input data. Also known as RX_DATA.

 

 

 

 

Used by the processor to receive data from an ATM UTOPIA Level 2-compliant

 

 

 

 

PHY.

 

 

 

 

• When an NPE A is configured in UTOPIA Level 2 mode of operation and the

UTP_IP_DATA[5] /

 

 

signal is not used, it should be pulled high through a 10-KΩresistor.

I

Yes

MII Mode of Operation:

ETHA_COL

Asserted by the PHY when a collision is detected by the PHY.

 

 

 

 

 

 

• When an NPE A is configured in MII mode of operation and the signal is not

 

 

 

 

used, it should be pulled low through 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 input data. Also known as RX_DATA.

 

 

 

 

Used by the processor to receive data from an ATM UTOPIA Level 2-compliant

 

 

 

 

PHY.

 

 

 

 

MII Mode of Operation:

UTP_IP_DATA[6] /

 

 

Asserted by the PHY when transmit medium or receive medium is active. De-

I

Yes

asserted when both the transmit and receive medium are idle. Remains asserted

ETHA_CRS

throughout the duration of collision condition. PHY asserts CRS asynchronously

 

 

 

 

 

 

and de-asserts synchronously with respect to ETHA_RXCLK.

 

 

 

 

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.

Not Used.

 

 

 

 

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

Receive PHY address bus.

UTP_IP_ADDR[4:0]

I/O

No

Used by the processor while operating in an MPHY mode to poll and select a

 

 

 

 

single PHY at any given point of time.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

UTOPIA Level 2 Input Data Flow Control Output signal: Also known as the

 

 

 

 

RX_ENB_N.

 

 

 

 

In a SPHY configuration, UTP_IP_FCO is used to inform the PHY that the

 

 

 

 

processor is ready to accept data.

UTP_IP_FCO

TRI

Yes

In MPHY configurations, UTP_IP_FCO is used to select those PHY drives that

signals UTP_RX_DATA and UTP_RX_SOC. The PHY is selected by placing the

 

 

 

 

PHY’s address on the UTP_IP_ADDR and bringing UTP_OP_FCO to logic 1 during

 

 

 

 

the current clock, followed by the UTP_OP_FCO going to a logic 0 on the next

 

 

 

 

clock cycle.

 

 

 

 

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.
