GBE0_ACT#
B2
Gigabit Ethernet Controller 0 activity indicator, active low
GBE0_LINK#
A8
Gigabit Ethernet Controller 0 link indicator, active low
GBE0_LINK100#
A4
Gigabit Ethernet Controller 0 100 Mb/s link indicator, active low
GBE0_LINK1000#
A5
Gigabit Ethernet Controller 0 1000 Mb/s link indicator, active low
GBE0_CTREF
A14
Reference voltage for Carrier Board Ethernet channel 0 magnetics
center tap. The reference voltage is determined by the requirements
of the module PHY and may be as low as 0 V and as high as 3.3 V.
The reference voltage output shall be current limited on the module.
In the case in which the reference is shorted to ground, the current
shall be limited to 250 mA or less.
Note
1.
The GBE0_LINK# output is not active during a 10 Mb connection. It is only active during a 100 Mb, 1 Gb or 2.5 Gb connection. This is a
limitation of Ethernet controller since it only has 3 LED outputs—ACT#, LINK100# and LINK1000#.
The GBE0_LINK# signal is a logic AND of the GBE0_LINK100# and GBE0_LINK1000# signals on the conga-TCV2 module.
2.
The LINK1000# output is active during 1 Gb and 2.5 Gb connection
3.
The ACT# output is active during LINK#, LINK100# and LINK1000# (all speed). The LEDs blink when an activity is detected.
