Functional Descriptions

5.7.2.1

High-Speed Serial Interface

These signals are responsible for transfer of the actual data at 1.25 Gbps.

Table 41 “DC

Specifications” on page 134

shows the data is 8B/10B encoded and transmitted differentially.

The following signals are required to implement the high-speed serial interface:

TX_P_0:3

TX_N_0:3

RX_P_0:3

RX_N_0:3

5.7.2.2

Low-Speed Status Signaling Interface

The following Low-Speed signals indicate the state of the line through the Optical Module
Interface:

MOD_DEF_0:3

TX_FAULT_0:3

RX_LOS_0:3

TX_DISABLE_0:3

MOD_DEF_INT

TX_FAULT_INT

RX_LOS_INT

5.7.2.2.1

MOD_DEF_0:3

MOD_DEF_0:3 are direct inputs to the IXF1104 MAC and are pulled to a logic Low level during
normal operation, indicating that a module is present for each channel respectively. If a module is
not present, a logic High is received, which is achieved by an external pull-up resistor at the
IXF1104 MAC device pad.

The status of each bit (one for each port) is found in bits [3:0] of the

“Optical Module Status Ports

0-3 ($0x799)” on page 222

). Any change in the state of these bits causes a logic Low level on the

MOD_DEF_INT output if this operation is enabled.

TX_DISABLE_0:3

TX DISABLE

Transmitter disable, logic High,
open collector compatible

Output from the IXF1104 MAC

TX_FAULT_0:3

TX FAULT

Transmitter fault, logic High, open
collector compatible

Input to the IXF1104 MAC

RX_LOS_0:3

LOS

Receiver loss-of-signal, logic High,
open collector compatible

Input to the IXF1104 MAC
