I2C6 - Aquantia AQR107 PHY
(#1)
10 Gbit Ethernet PHY 1 Optional, software-
defined address
- Aquantia AQR107 PHY
(#2)
10 Gbit Ethernet PHY 2 Optional, software-
defined address
A 7-bit address does not include the read/write (R/W) bit as an address member, though some datasheets might
do so. For consistency, all I2C addresses above are of 7 bits only.
NOTE
To access I2C devices on the secondary I2C mux, the primary I2C mux needs to be programmed at address 0x77
and the secondary I2C mux at address 0x75.
NOTE
2.11 UART interface
The LX2160A processor provides two UART blocks, which support two full serial ports with hardware flow control, or four serial
ports with no flow control. On the LX2160ARDB, the UART ports are available for external connection through a dual-port stacked
DB9 male connector. Two RS-232 transceivers (Linear Technology LTC2804-1) translate the signals to RS-232 levels. The figure
below shows the UART architecture.
