the PMA control logic which now controls the PMA hard macro.
The PMA hard macro is thus disconnected from the PMA
control logic:
This signal is used for two purposes:
Select the multiplexer between ACJTAG controller and
functional logic at the PMA interface directly.
Put out of reset the ACJTAG controller.
This signal is used as reset input for the embedded ACJTAG
controller of the PMA.
This signal configures the PMA in ACTAG test mode. By default,
it resets the Tx and Rx driver and receiver followed by loading
the driver and receiver with default settings. The PMA receiver
is by default in DC test mode and the transmitter is driving 0.
When acjtag_enable_i == 1’b1, this signal selects either AC
mode (1’b1) or DC mode (1’b0).
When acjtag_enable_i == 1’b1, this signal selects the differential
value the transmitter drives.
When acjtag_mode_i == 1’b1, assertion of this signal puts the
PMA driver in high impedance.
Note:
For multiple ports, [n] indicates lane/channel number.
