R18UZ0043EJ0100 R-IN32M4-CL2 User’s Manual Gigabit Ethernet PHY Edition Mar 4, 2016 Product Overview The GbE-PHY is a dual-port Gigabit Ethernet PHY. The GbE-PHY is designed for space-constrained 10/100/1000BASE-T applications. It features integrated, line-side termination to conserve board space, lower EMI, and improved system performance.
R-IN32M4-CL2 User’s Manual Gigabit Ethernet PHY Edition 2. Functional Descriptions Functional Descriptions This section describes the functional aspects of the GbE-PHY, including available operational features, and testing functionality. Twisted Pair Media Interface The twisted pair interface is compliant with IEEE 802.3-2008.
R-IN32M4-CL2 User’s Manual Gigabit Ethernet PHY Edition 2. Functional Descriptions 2.1.2 Autonegotiation and Parallel Detection The GbE-PHY supports twisted pair autonegotiation, as defined by IEEE 802.3-2008 Clause 28. The autonegotiation process evaluates the advertised capabilities of the local PHY and its link partner to determine the best possible operating mode.
R-IN32M4-CL2 User’s Manual Gigabit Ethernet PHY Edition 2. Functional Descriptions 2.1.4 Manual MDI/MDIX Setting As an alternative to HP Auto-MDIX detection, the PHY can be forced to be MDI or MDI-X using register 19E1, bits 3:2. Setting these bits to 10 forces MDI and setting 11 forces MDI-X. Leaving the bits 00 enables the HP Auto-MDIX setting to be based on register 18, bits 7 and 5.
R-IN32M4-CL2 User’s Manual Gigabit Ethernet PHY Edition 2. Functional Descriptions ActiPHY Power Management In addition to the IEEE-specified power-down control bit (device register bit 0.11), the GbE-PHY also includes an ActiPHY power management mode for each PHY. This mode enables support for power-sensitive applications. It utilizes a signal-detect function that monitors the media interface for the presence of a link to determine when to automatically power-down the PHY.
R-IN32M4-CL2 User’s Manual Gigabit Ethernet PHY Edition 2. Functional Descriptions 2.2.1 Low Power State In the low power state, all major digital blocks are powered down. However, the SMI interface (MDC, MDIO, and MDINT) functionality is provided. In this state, the PHY monitors the media interface pins for signal energy. The PHY comes out of low power state and transitions to the normal operating state when signal energy is detected on the media.
R-IN32M4-CL2 User’s Manual Gigabit Ethernet PHY Edition 2. Functional Descriptions LED Interface The polarity of the LED outputs is programmable and can be changed using register 17E2, bits 13:10. The default polarity is active low. It provides four LED signals per port, LED0 through LED3. The mode and function of each LED signal can be configured independently.
R-IN32M4-CL2 User’s Manual Gigabit Ethernet PHY Edition 2. Functional Descriptions Table 2.2 LED Mode and Function Summary (2/2) Mode Function Name LED State and Description Activity 1: No activity present. Blink or pulse-stretch = Activity present. Reserved Reserved. Autonegotiation Fault 1: No autonegotiation fault present.
R-IN32M4-CL2 User’s Manual Gigabit Ethernet PHY Edition 2. Functional Descriptions Fast Link Failure Indication The GbE-PHY exceeds IEEE 802.3 standards by indicating the onset of a link failure in less than 1 ms (worst case <3 ms). (IEEE 802.3 standard establishes a delay of up to 750 ms before indicating that a 1000BASE-T link is no longer present.) A fast link failure indication is critical to support ports used in a synchronization timing link application.
R-IN32M4-CL2 User’s Manual Gigabit Ethernet PHY Edition 2. Functional Descriptions Testing Features The GbE-PHY includes several testing features designed to facilitate performing system-level debugging and in-system production testing. This section describes the available features. 2.5.1 Ethernet Packet Generator The Ethernet packet generator (EPG) can be used at each of the 10/100/1000BASE-T speed settings for copper media to isolate problems between the MAC and the GbE-PHY, or between a locally connected PHY and its remote link partner.
R-IN32M4-CL2 User’s Manual Gigabit Ethernet PHY Edition 2. Functional Descriptions 2.5.2 Far-End Loopback The far-end loopback testing feature is enabled by setting register bit 23.3 to 1. When enabled, it forces incoming data from a link partner on the current media interface into the MAC interface of the PHY where it is retransmitted back to the link partner on the media interface as shown in the following illustration.
R-IN32M4-CL2 User’s Manual Gigabit Ethernet PHY Edition 2. Functional Descriptions 2.5.4 Connector Loopback The connector loopback testing feature allows the twisted pair interface to be looped back externally. When using this feature, the PHY must be connected to a loopback connector or a loopback cable. Connect pair A and pair B, and pair C and pair D, as shown in the following illustration.
R-IN32M4-CL2 User’s Manual Gigabit Ethernet PHY Edition 3. Registers Registers This section provides information about how to configure the GbE-PHY using its internal memory registers and the management interface. The registers marked reserved should not be read or written to, because doing so may produce undesired effects.

Registers Reserved Registers For main registers 16–31, extended registers 16E1–30E1, 16E2–30E2 and general purpose registers 0G–30G, any bits marked as Reserved should be processed as read-only and their states as undefined. Reserved Bits In writing to registers with reserved bits, use a read-modify-then- write technique, where the entire register is read but only the intended bits to be changed are modified.
