DP83867 about SGMII_COP/CON

Guru 11170 points

Hi all,

Please let me know about SGMII_COP/CON pin description.
The functions of each pins are follow;
  -  SGMII_COP : This signal is a continuous 625MHz clock signal driven by the PHY in SGMII mode.
  -  SGMII_CON : This signal is a continuous 625MHz clock signal driven by the MAC in SGMII mode.

When the configuration, are pins makes used by MAC for input?

Regards,
Nagai

  • Hello,

    This is the differential clock output for 6 wire SGMII interface. These pins would be used by the MAC if the MAC does not have the ability to recover clock from SGMII_SOP and SGMII_SON outputs. In 4 wire SGMII interface SGMII_COP and SGMII_CON are not used.
