These signals may be changed by the user application at any time. The
Clock Domain
heading denotes the clock domain the configuration signal is registered in before use by
the core. It is not necessary to drive the signal from this clock domain.

Bit[0]: Reserved (currently unused)
Bit[1]:
Loopback Control
• When used with a RocketIO transceiver, the
core is placed in internal loopback mode.
• With the TBI version, Bit 1 is connected to
ewrap. When set to ‘1,’
this indicates to the
external PMA module to enter loopback mode.
See
“Loopback,” page 197
.
Bit[2]:
Power Down
• When a RocketIO transceiver is used, a
setting of ‘1’ places the RocketIO in a low-
power state. A reset must be applied to clear.
• With the TBI version, this bit is unused.
Bit[3]:
Isolate
• When set to ‘1,’ the GMII should be
electrically isolated.
• When set to ‘0,’ normal operation is enabled.
1. Signals are synchronous to the core’s internal 125 MHz reference clock; this is
userclk2
when used
with a RocketIO transceiver;
gtx_clk
when used with TBI.
