Multi-Rate Performance Monitor with Forward Error Correction
S3062
2.2 Gigabit Ethernet Application Overview
The Gigabit Ethernet circuitry monitors the received data stream for:
Loss of synchronization.
8B/10B code violations.
Disparity errors.
These errors are flagged and available at the I/O signal pins. Error counts are also accumulated over 1 second periods and are
available via the processor interface.
The Gigabit Ethernet mode may be selected by setting the RATESEL[1:0] I/O signal pins or the corresponding register bits to the
appropriate values seen in address tables and pin list. Differential encoding and decoding, as well as forward error correction, may
also be implemented in this mode. NOTE: Pass-through mode has priority over RATESEL and will negate any RATESEL
selections if pass-through mode is enabled.
