ctl_rx_opcode_ppp[15:0] I Priority pause opcode value. rx_clk_out
stat_rx_pause_req[8:0] O Pause request signal. When the RX receives a valid pause frame, it sets the corresponding bit of this bus to a 1 and keep it at 1 until the pause packet has been processed. rx_clk_out
ctl_rx_pause_ack[8:0] I Pause acknowledge signal. This bus is used to acknowledge the receipt of the pause frame from the user logic. rx_clk_out
ctl_rx_check_ack I Wait for acknowledge. If this input is set to 1, the core uses the ctl_rx_pause_ack[8:0] bus for pause processing. If this input is set to 0, ctl_rx_pause_ack[8:0] is not used. rx_clk_out
ctl_rx_forward_control I A value of 1 indicates that the core forwards control packets. A value of 0 causes core to drop control packets. rx_clk_out
stat_rx_pause_valid[8:0] O Indicates that a pause packet was received and the associated quanta on the stat_rx_pause_quanta[8:0][15:0] bus is valid and must be used for pause processing. If an 802.3x MAC Pause packet is received, bit[8] is set to 1. rx_clk_out
stat_rx_pause_quanta[8:0][15:0] O These nine buses indicate the quanta received for each of the eight priorities in priority based pause operation and global pause operation. If an 802.3x MAC Pause packet is received, the quanta is placed in value [8]. rx_clk_out
Table 3. Pause Interface–TX Path
Name I/O Description Clock Domain
ctl_tx_pause_req[8:0] I If a bit of this bus is set to 1, the core transmits a pause packet using the associated quanta value on the ctl_tx_pause_quanta[8:0][15:0] bus. If bit[8] is set to 1, a global pause packet is transmitted. All other bits cause a priority pause packet to be transmitted. tx_clk_out
ctl_tx_pause_quanta[8:0][15:0] I These nine buses indicate the quanta to be transmitted for each of the eight priorities in priority based pause operation and the global pause operation. The value for ctl_tx_pause_quanta[8] is used for global pause operation. All other values are used for priority pause operation. tx_clk_out
ctl_tx_pause_refresh_timer [8:0][15:0] I These nine buses set the retransmission time of pause packets for each of the eight priorities in priority based pause operation and the global pause operation. The value for ctl_tx_pause_refresh_timer[8] is used for global pause operation. All other values are used for priority pause operation. tx_clk_out

ctl_tx_resend_pause I Retransmit pending pause packets. When this input is sampled as 1, all pending pause packets are retransmitted as soon as possible (that is, after the current packet in flight is completed) and the retransmit counters are reset. This input should be pulsed to 1 for one cycle at a time. tx_clk_out
stat_tx_pause_valid[8:0] O If a bit of this bus is set to 1, the core has transmitted a pause packet. If bit[8] is set to 1, a global pause packet is transmitted. All other bits cause a priority pause packet to be transmitted. tx_clk_out
