tx_pauseframe_control
• Bits 1:0—configures the transmission of
pause frames.
00: No pause frame transmission.
01: Trigger the transmission of an XON
pause frame (pause quanta = 0), if the
transmission is not disabled by other
conditions.
10: Trigger the transmission of an XOFF
pause frame (pause quanta =
tx_
pauseframe_quanta
register), if the
transmission is not disabled by other
conditions.
11: Reserved. This setting does not
trigger any action.
• Bits 31:2—reserved.
Changes to this self-clearing register affects
the next transmission of a pause frame.

0x0042
tx_pauseframe_quanta
• Bits 15:0—pause quanta in unit of
quanta, 1 unit = 512 bits time. The MAC
IP core uses this value when it generates
XOFF pause frames. An XOFF pause
frame with a quanta value of 0 is
equivalent to an XON frame.
• Bits 31:16—reserved.
Configure this register before you enable
the MAC IP core for operations.

tx_pauseframe_holdoff_
quanta
• Bits 15:0—specifies the gap between two
consecutive transmissions of XOFF
pause frames in unit of quanta, 1 unit =
512 bits time. The gap prevents back-to-
back transmissions of pause frames,
which may affect the transmission of
data frames.
• Bits 31:16—reserved.
Configure this register before you enable
the MAC IP core for operations.
