4.6.6.1

QSFP+ I2C Bus

The QSFP+ I2C bus signals (I2C_SDA and I2C_SCL) from each SFP+ site are individually
connected to the BCM84740 which includes a mechanism to allow access to the port through
the PHY management channel.

4.6.6.2

QSFP+ Status Signals

The QSFP+ status signals, MODPRS#, and INT#, are individually connected to the BCM84740
which monitors them. The signals are also connected to the RTM FPGA to allow fast detection
of a loss of signal condition. Refer to

Chapter 4, GPS Connectors, on page 48

for further details.

4.6.6.3

QSFP+ Control Signals

The QSFP+ LPMODE signal is connected to the BCM84740. This allows software control of the
power mode, or hardware control through deassertion of the TXONOFF signal.

4.6.7

PHY Management Interfaces

The BCM84740 provides a single MDC/MDIO management port to access all four channels and
allows bits 0 and 1 of the PHY address for each channel to be individually programmed, with
bits 2 - 4 being common.

Table 4-10"BCM84740 PHY Addressing"

shows the address allocation

and management port definition for each channel.
