Dynamic Switching Signal Pinout

Table 2-6describes the signals present when the optional Dynamic Switching mode (between 1000BASE-X and SGMII standards) is selected. In this case, the MDIO (Table 2-3) and RocketIO transceiver (Table 2-7) interfaces are always present.

Signal

Direction

Description

 

 

 

link_timer_basex[8:0]1

Input

Used to configure the duration of the Auto-

 

 

Negotiation Link Timer period when performing

 

 

the 1000BASE-X standard. The duration of this

 

 

timer is set to the binary number input into this port

 

 

multiplied by 4096 clock periods of the 125 MHz

 

 

reference clock (8 ns). It is expected that this signal

 

 

will be tied off to a logical value.

 

 

 

link_timer_sgmii[8:0]1

Input

Used to configure the duration of the Auto-

 

 

Negotiation Link Timer period when performing

 

 

the SGMII standard. The duration of this timer is set

 

 

to the binary number input into this port multiplied

 

 

by 4096 clock periods of the 125 MHz reference

 

 

clock (8 ns). It is expected that this signal will be tied

 

 

off to a logical value.

 

 

 

basex_or_sgmii1

Input

Used as the reset default to select the standard. It is

 

 

expected that this signal will be tied off to a logical

 

 

value.

 

 

‘0’ signals that the core will come out of reset

 

 

operating as 1000BASE-X.

 

 

‘1’ signals that the core will come out of reset

 

 

operating as SGMII.

 

 

Note: The standard can be set following reset

 

 

through the MDIO Management.

 

 

 

1. Clock domain is userclk2.

Physical Side Interface

1000BASE-X PCS with PMA Using RocketIO Transceiver Signal Pinout (Optional)

Table 2-7describes the optional interface to the RocketIO transceiver. The core is connected to a RocketIO transceiver in the appropriate HDL example design delivered with the core. For more information, see:

Chapter 7, “1000BASE-X with RocketIO Transceivers”
