Description
phy_mgmt_clk
Input
Avalon-MM clock input. There is no
frequency restriction for the
phy_
mgmt_clk
; however, if you plan to use
the same clock for the PHY
management interface and
transceiver reconfiguration, you must
restrict the frequency range of
phy_
mgmt_clk
to 100-150 MHz to meet
the specification for the transceiver
reconfiguration clock.
phy_mgmt_clk_reset
Input
Global reset signal. This signal is
active high and level sensitive.
phy_mgmt_address[8:0]
Input
9-bit Avalon-MM address.
phy_mgmt_writedata[31:0]
Input
Input data.
