8.1 Register Definition

In the register definitions under the ‘Default’ heading, the following definitions hold true:

  • COR = Clear on Read
  • Pin_Strap = Default value loads from strapping pin after reset
  • LH = Latched High and held until read, based upon the occurrence of the corresponding event
  • LL = Latched Low and held until read, based upon the occurrence of the corresponding event
  • RO = Read Only access
  • RO/COR = Read Only, Clear on Read
  • RO/P = Read Only, Permanently set to a default value
  • RW = Read Write access
  • RW/SC = Read Write Access/Self Clearing bit
  • SC = Register sets on event occurrence and Self-Clears when event ends

8.1.1 Basic Mode Control Register (BMCR)

Table 8-4 Basic Mode Control Register (BMCR), address 0x0000

BIT BIT NAME DEFAULT DESCRIPTION
15 Reset 0, RW/SC PHY Software Reset:
1 = Initiate software Reset / Reset in Process
0 = Normal operation

Writing a 1 to this bit resets the PHY. When the reset operation is done, this bit is cleared to 0 automatically. The configuration is relatched.
14 MII Loopback 0, RW MII Loopback:
1 = MII Loopback enabled
0 = Normal operation
When MII loopback mode is activated, the transmitter data presented on MII TXD is looped back to MII RXD internally.
13 Speed Selection 1, RW Speed Select:
When auto-negotiation is disabled writing to this bit allows the port speed to be selected.
1 = 100Mbs
0 = 10Mbs
12 Auto-Negotiation Enable 1, RW Auto-Negotiation Enable:
1 = Auto-Negotiation Enabled – bits 8 and 13 of this register are ignored when this bit is set.
0 = Auto-Negotiation Disabled – bits 8 and 13 determine the port speed and duplex mode.
11 IEEE Power Down 0, RW Power Down:
1 = Enables IEEE power down mode
0 = Normal operation
Setting this bit powers down the PHY. Only minimal register functionality is enabled during the power down condition. To control the power down mechanism, this bit is ORed with the input from the INT/PWDN pin. When the active low INT/PWDN is asserted, this bit is set.
10 Isolate 0, RW Isolate:
1 = Isolates the Port from the MII with the exception of the serial management
0 = Normal operation
9 Restart Auto- Negotiation 0, RW/SC Restart Auto-Negotiation:
1 = Restart Auto-Negotiation. Re-initiates the Auto-Negotiation process. If Auto-Negotiation is disabled (bit 12 = 0), this bit is ignored. This bit is self-clearing and will return a value of 1 until Auto-Negotiation is initiated, whereupon it will self-clear. Operation of the Auto-Negotiation process is not affected by the management entity clearing this bit.
0 = Normal operation
Re-initiates the Auto-Negotiation process. If Auto-Negotiation is disabled (bit 12 = 0), this bit is ignored. This bit is self-clearing and will return a value of 1 until Auto-Negotiation is initiated, whereupon it self-clears. Operation of the Auto-Negotiation process is not affected by the management entity clearing this bit.
8 Duplex Mode 1, Pin_Strap Duplex Mode:
When auto-negotiation is disabled writing to this bit allows the port Duplex capability to be selected.
1 = Full Duplex operation
led control 0 = Half Duplex operation
7 Collision Test 0, RW Collision Test:
1 = Collision test enabled
0 = Normal operation
When set, this bit causes the COL signal to be asserted in response to the assertion of TX_EN within 512 bit times. The COL signal is de-asserted within 4 bit times in response to the de-assertion of TX_EN.
6:0 RESERVED 0, RO RESERVED: Write ignored, read as 0.

8.1.3 PHY Identifier Register 1 (PHYIDR1)

The PHY Identifier Registers 1 and 2 together form a unique identifier for the TLK10x. The identifier consists of a concatenation of the Organizationally Unique Identifier (OUI), the vendor's model number and the model revision number. A PHY may return a value of zero in each of the 32 bits of the PHY Identifier if desired. The PHY Identifier is intended to support network management. The Texas Instruments IEEE-assigned OUI is 080028h, implemented as Reg 0x2 [15:0] = OUI[21:6] = 2000(h) and Reg 0x3 [15:10] = OUI[5:0] = A(h).

BIT BIT NAME DEFAULT DESCRIPTION
15:10 RESERVED 1, RW RESERVED
9 RMII Enhanced Mode 0, RW RMII Enhanced Mode:
1 = Enable RMII Enhanced Mode
0 = RMII operates in normal mode
In normal mode, If the line is not idle CRS_DV goes high. As soon as the False Carrier is detected, RX_ER is asserted and RXD is set to “2”. This situation remains for the duration of the receive event. While in enhanced mode, CRS_DV is disqualified and de-asserted when the False Carrier detected. This status also remains for the duration of the receive event. In addition in normal mode, the start of the packet is intact. Each symbol error is indicated by setting RX_ER high. The data on RXD is replaced with “1” starting with the first symbol error. While in enhanced mode, the CRS_DV is de-asserted with the first symbol error.
8 TDR AUTORUN 0, RW TDR Auto Run at link down:
1 = Enable execution of TDR procedure after link down event
0 = Disable automatic execution of TDR
7 Link Loss Recovery 0, RW Link Loss Recovery:

0 = Normal Link Loss operation. Link status will go down approximately 250µs from signal loss.
6 Fast Auto MDI-X 0, RW Fast Auto MDI/MDIX:
1 = Enable Fast Auto MDI/MDIX mode

If both link partners are configured to work in Force 100Base-TX mode (Auto-Negotiation is disabled), this mode enables Automatic MDI/MDIX resolution in a short time.
5 Robust Auto MDI-X 0, RW Robust Auto MDI-X :
1 = Enable Robust Auto MDI/MDIX resolution
0 = Normal Auto MDI/MDIX mode
If link partners are configured to operational modes that are not supported by normal Auto MDI/MDIX mode (like Auto-Neg versus Force 100Base-TX or Force 100Base-TX versus Force 100Base-TX), this Robust Auto MDI/MDIX mode allows MDI/MDIX resolution and prevents deadlock.
4 Fast AN En 0, RW Fast AN En:
1 = Enable Fast Auto-Negotiation mode – The PHY auto-negotiates using Timer setting according to Fast AN Sel bits (bits 3:2 this register)
0 = Disable Fast Auto-Negotiation mode – The PHY auto-negotiates using normal Timer setting
Adjusting these bits reduces the time it takes to Auto-negotiate between two PHYs. Note: When using this option care must be taken to maintain proper operation of the system. While shortening these timer intervals may not cause problems in normal operation, there are certain situations where this may lead to problems.
3:2 Fast AN Sel 0, RW Fast Auto-Negotiation Select bits:
Fast AN Select Break Link Timer Link Fail Inhibit Timer Auto-Neg Wait Timer
<00> 80 50 35
<01> 120 75 50
<10> 240 150 100
<11> NA NA NA
Adjusting these bits reduces the time it takes to Auto-negotiate between two PHYs. In Fast AN mode, both PHYs should be configured to the same configuration. These 2 bits define the duration for each state of the Auto Negotiation process according to the table above. The new duration time must be enabled by setting “Fast AN En” - bit 4 of this register. Note: Using this mode in cases where both link partners are not configured to the same Fast Auto-negotiation configuration might produce scenarios with unexpected behavior.
1 Fast RXDV Detection 0, RW Fast RXDV Detection:
1 = Enable assertion high of RX_DV on receive packet due to detection of /J/ symbol only. If a consecutive /K/ does not appear, RX_ER is generated.

4 Enhanced LED Link 0, RW Enhanced LED Link Functionality:
1 = LED Link is ON only when link is established in 100B-TX Full Duplex mode.
0 = LED Link is ON when link is established.
Enabling Enhanced LED Link overrides the LED blinking functionality of the PHYCR register (0x0019) bit 5. The Link LED will not blink for activity when Enhanced LED Link is enabled.
3 Isolate MII in 100BT HD 0, RW Isolate MII outputs when FD Link @ 100BT is not achievable:

0 = MDI pairs normal (Receive on TPRD pair, Transmit on TPTD pair)
Port Mirror function: To Enable port mirroring, set this bit and bit 6 high.
4 RESERVED 0, RW RESERVED
3:0 Fast Link Down Mode 0, RW Fast Link Down Modes:
Bit 3 Drop the link based on RX Error count of the MII interface – When a predefined number of 32 RX Error occurrences in a 10µs interval is reached, the link will be dropped.
Bit 2 Drop the link based on MLT3 Errors count (Violation of the MLT3 coding in the DSP output) – When a predefined number of 20 MLT3 Error occurrences in a 10µs interval is reached, the link will be dropped.
Bit 1 Drop the link based on Low SNR Threshold – When a predefined number of 20 Threshold crossing occurrences in a 10µs interval is reached, the link will be dropped.
Bit 0 Drop the link based on Signal/Energy loss indication – When the Energy detector indicates Energy Loss, the link will be dropped. Typical reaction time is 10µs.
The Fast Link Down function is an OR of all these 4 options, so the designer can enable combinations of these conditions.

8.1.13 Extended Register Addressing

REGCR (0x000D) and ADDAR (0x000E) allow read/write access to the extended register set (addresses above 0x001F) using indirect addressing.

  • REGCR [15:14] = 01: A read/write to ADDAR operates on the register within the extended register set selected (pointed to) by the value in the address register. The address register contents (pointer) remain unchanged.
  • REGCR [15:14] = 10: A read/write to ADDAR operates on the register within the extended register set selected (pointed to) by the value in the address register. After that access is complete, for both reads and writes, the value in the address register is incremented.
  • REGCR [15:14] = 11: A read/write to ADDAR operates on the register within the extended register set selected (pointed to) by the value in the address register. After that access is complete, for write accesses only, the value in the address register is incremented. For read accesses, the value of the address register remains unchanged.
