1.7 Unidirectional
Ability
Always returns ‘1,’ writes ignored returns 1 1
1.6 MF Preamble
Suppression
Always returns a ‘1’ for this bit to indicate
that Management Frame Preamble
Suppression is supported
returns 1 1
1.5 Auto- Negotiation
Complete
1 = Auto-Negotiation process completed
across SGMII link
0 = Auto-Negotiation process not
completed across SGMII link
read only 0
1.4 Remote Fault 1 = A fault on the Medium has been
detected
0 = No fault of the Medium has been
detected

1.3 Auto- Negotiation
Ability
Always returns a ‘1’ for this bit to indicate
that the SGMII core is capable of Auto-
Negotiation
returns 1 1
1.2 SGMII Link Status11 = SGMII Link is up
0 = SGMII Link is down
Latches '0' if SGMII Link Status goes
down. Clears to current SGMII Link
Status on read.

1.1 Jabber Detect Always returns a ‘0’ for this bit since
Jabber Detect is not supported
returns 0 0
1.0 Extended Capability Always returns a ‘0’ for this bit because no
extended register set is supported
returns 0 0
1. When high, the link is valid: synchronization of the SGMII link has been obtained and SGMII Auto-Negotiation (if present and
enabled) has completed.
When low, a valid link has not been established. Either SGMII link synchronization has failed or SGMII Auto-Negotiation (if
present and enabled) has failed to complete.
Regardless of whether SGMII Auto-Negotiation is enabled or disabled, there can be some delay to the deassertion of this signal
following the loss of synchronization of a previously successful SGMII link. This is due to the Auto-Negotiation state machine
which requires that synchronization is lost for an entire link timer duration before changing state. For more information, see
the 802.3 specification.
