Chapter 7 Management Register Set
7.2.5 Low Power Mode (bit 0.11)
This bit provides one way to control the ICS1893BY-10 low-power mode function. When bit 0.11 is logic:
• Zero, there is no impact to ICS1893BY-10 operations.
• One, the ICS1893BY-10 enters the low-power mode. In this case, the ICS1893BY-10 disables all internal
functions and drives all MAC/repeater output pins low except for those that support the MII Serial
Management Port. In addition, the ICS1893BY-10 internally activates the TPTRI function to tri-state the
signals on the Twisted-Pair Transmit pins (TP_TXP and TP_TXN) and achieve additional power savings.
Note: There are two ways the ICS1893BY-10 can enter low-power mode. When entering low-power
mode:
• By setting bit 0.11 to logic one, the ICS1893BY-10 maintains the value of all Management
Register bits except the latching high (LH) and latching low (LL) status bits, which are
re-initialized to their default values instead. (For more information on latching high and latching
low bits, see Section 7.1.4.1, “Latching High Bits” and Section 7.1.4.2, “Latching Low Bits”.)
• During a reset, the ICS1893BY-10 sets all management register bits to their default values.
7.2.6 Isolate (bit 0.10)
This bit controls the ICS1893BY-10 Isolate function. When bit 0.10 is logic:
• Zero, there is no impact to ICS1893BY-10 operations.
• One, the ICS1893BY-10 electrically isolates its data paths from the MAC/Repeater Interface. The
ICS1893BY-10 places all MAC/repeater output signals (TXCLK, RXCLK, RXDV, RXER, RXD[3:0], COL,
and CRS) in a high-impedance state and it isolates all MAC/repeater input signals (TXD[3:0], TXEN, and
TXER). In this mode, the Serial Management Interface continues to operate normally (that is, bit 0.10
does not affect the Management Interface).
The default value for bit 0.10 depends upon the PHY address of Table 7-16. If the PHY address:
• Is equal to 00000b, then the default value of bit 0.10 is logic one, and the ICS1893BY-10 isolates itself
from the MAC/Repeater Interface.
• Is not equal to 00000b, then the default value of bit 0.10 is logic zero, and the ICS1893BY-10 does not
isolate its MAC/Repeater Interface.
7.2.7 Restart Auto-Negotiation (bit 0.9)
This bit allows an STA to restart the auto-negotiation process in Software mode (that is, the HW/SW pin is
logic one). When bit 0.12 is logic:
• Zero, the Auto-Negotiation sublayer is disabled, and the ICS1893BY-10 isolates any attempt by the STA
to set bit 0.9 to logic one.
• One (as set by an STA), the ICS1893BY-10 restarts the auto-negotiation process. Once the
auto-negotiation process begins, the ICS1893BY-10 automatically sets this bit to logic zero, thereby
providing the self-clearing feature.
