PHY Interface Signals

The following table lists the PHY interface signals. These interface signals are applicable to both design examples.

Table 9.   PHY Interface Signals
Signal Direction Width Description
rx_serial_data[] input [NUM_CHANNELS] RX serial input data
tx_serial_data[] output [NUM_CHANNELS] TX serial output data
ethernet_1g_an[] output [NUM_CHANNELS] Clause 37 Auto-Negotiation status. The PCS function asserts this signal when auto-negotiation completes.
ethernet_1g_char_err[] output [NUM_CHANNELS] 10-bit character error
ethernet_1g_disp_err[] output [NUM_CHANNELS] Disparity error signal indicating a 10-bit running disparity error.
channel_ready[] output [NUM_CHANNELS] This signal is asserted when the channel is ready for data transmission.
