Auto-Negotiation Advertisement Register

Page 33

AUTO-NEGOTIATION LINK PARTNER (LP) ABILITY REGISTER

Note that the values contained in the Auto-Negotiation Link Partner Ability Register are only guaranteed to be valid once

auto-negotiation has successfully completed, as indicated by bit 5 of the MII Status Register.

LP Next Page. Bit 15 of the Link Partner Ability register returns a value of 1 when the link partner implements the Next Page

function and has Next Page information that it wants to transmit. The BCM5248 does not implement the Next Page function,

and thus ignores the Next Page bit, except to copy it to this register.

LP Acknowledge. Bit 14 of the Link Partner Ability register is used by auto-negotiation to indicate that a device has

successfully received its link partner’s link code word.

LP Remote Fault. Bit 13 of the Link Partner Ability register returns a value of 1 when the link partner signals that a remote

fault has occurred. The BCM5248 simply copies the value to this register and does not act upon it.

Reserved Bits. Ignore when read.

LP Advertise Pause. Indicates that the link partner pause bit is set.

LP Advertise Bits. Bits 9:5 of the Link Partner Ability register reflect the abilities of the link partner. A 1 on any of these bits

indicates that the link partner is capable of performing the corresponding mode of operation. Bits 9:5 are cleared any time

auto-negotiation is restarted or the BCM5238 is reset.

LP Selector Field. Bits 4:0 of the Link Partner Ability register reflect the value of the link partner’s selector field. These bits

are cleared any time auto-negotiation is restarted or the chip is reset.
