Note
Sꢀ Address prepend for Single Channel UL2 may be inserted in HEC/UDF field instead of prior to the cell
For Any-PHY mode or single-PHY mode, the address prepend field encoding indicates the
virtual PHY ID. The virtual PHY ID contains 2 sections, the lower 7 bits indicates the virtual
PHY ID with valid values for 0 to 7, while the upper bits are user programmable and not used
by the device but may be required in a user’s system for unique device identification when
multiple devices exist on a bus.
For UTOPIA multi-PHY mode, the address prepend is not used.
