Table 15. MR6—Autonegotiation Expansion Register Bit Descriptions
Bit1
Type2
Description
6.15:5
R
Reserved.
6.4 (PAR_DET_FAULT)
R/LH Parallel Detection Fault. When this bit is set to 1, it indicates that a fault
has been detected in the parallel detection function. This fault is due to more
than one technology detecting concurrent link conditions. This bit can only
be cleared by reading this register.
6.3
R
Link Partner Next Page Able. When this bit is set to 1, it indicates that the
(LP_NEXT_PAGE_ABLE)
link partner supports the next page function.
6.2 (NEXT_PAGE_ABLE)
6.1 (PAGE_REC)
R
Next Page Able. This bit is set to 1, indicating that this device supports the
next page function.
R/LH Page Received. When this bit is set to 1, it indicates that a next page has
been received.
6.0 (LP_NWAY_ABLE)
R
Link Partner Autonegotiation Capable. When this bit is set to 1, it indi-
cates that the link partner is autonegotiation capable.
1. Note that the format for the pin descriptions is as follows: the first number is the register number, the second number is the bit position in the
register, and the name of the instantiated pad is in capital letters.
2. R = read, LH = latched high.
Table 16. MR7—Next_Page Transmit Register Bit Descriptions
Bit1
Type2
Description
7.15 (NEXT_PAGE) R/W Next Page. This bit indicates whether or not this is the last next page to be trans-
mitted. When this bit is 0, it indicates that this is the last page. When this bit is 1, it
indicates there is an additional next page.
7.14 (ACK)
R
Acknowledge. This bit is the acknowledge bit from the link code word.
7.13 (MESSAGE)
R/W Message Page. This bit is used to differentiate a message page from an unfor-
matted page. When this bit is 0, it indicates an unformatted page. When this bit is
1, it indicates a formatted page.
7.12 (ACK2)
R/W Acknowledge 2. This bit is used by the next page function to indicate that a
device has the ability to comply with the message. Acknowledge 2 will be set as
follows:
■ When this bit is 0, it indicates the device cannot comply with the message.
■ When this bit is 1, it indicates the device will comply with the message.
7.11 (TOGGLE)
R
Toggle. This bit is used by the arbitration function to ensure synchronization with
the link partner during next page exchange. This bit will always take the opposite
value of the toggle bit in the previously exchanged link code word:
■ If the bit is a logic 0, the previous value of the transmitted link code word was a
logic 1.
■ If the bit is a 1, the previous value of the transmitted link code word was a 0.
The initial value of the toggle bit in the first next page transmitted is the inverse of
the value of bit 11 in the base link code word and, therefore, may assume a value
of 1 or 0.
7.10:0 (MCF)
R/W Message/Unformatted Code Field. With these 11 bits, there are 2048 possible
messages. Message code field definitions are described in annex 28C of the IEEE
802.3u standard.
1. Note that the format for the pin descriptions is as follows: the first number is the register number, the second number is the bit position in the
register, and the name of the instantiated pad is in capital letters.
2. R = read, W = write.
