6.9. Reset Signals

The reset controller has soft reset signals, which are asserted by the CSR, and three asynchronous resets, which are asserted externally.

Description

tx_rst_n Asynchronous

Resets the TX PCS and MAC.

Active low.
tx_rst_ack_n Asynchronous

Resets the ACK TX and MAC.

Active low.
rx_rst_n Asynchronous

Resets the RX PCS and MAC.

Active low.
rx_rst_ack_n Asynchronous

Resets the ACK RX PCS and MAC.

Active low.
csr_rst_n Asynchronous

Resets the full IP. Includes transmit and receive MACs, PCS, adapters, transceivers, as well as configuration and status registers.

Active low.
csr_rst_ack_n Asynchronous

Resets ACK for CSR reset.

Active low.
tx_mii_rst_n Synchronous

Reset signal to the user in PCS and PMA mode, you can use this signal to reset the Tx logic when the Tx PCS is in reset. This reset is synchronized with the clk_tx_mii.

rx_mii_rst_n Synchronous

Reset signal to the user in PCS and PMA mode, you can use this signal to reset the user’s Rx logic when the Rx PCS is in reset. This reset is synchronized with the clk_rx_mii.
