100BASE-TX Receive Error Counter

Page 31

BAD ESD DETECTED

The PHY returns a 1 in bit 4 if an end of stream delimiter error has been detected since the last time this register was read.

Otherwise it returns a 0.

RECEIVE ERROR DETECTED

The PHY returns a 1 in bit 3 if a packet was received with an invalid code since the last time this register was read. Otherwise

it returns a 0.

TRANSMIT ERROR DETECTED

The PHY returns a 1 in bit 2 if a packet was received with a transmit error code since the last time this register was read.

Otherwise it returns a 0.

LOCK ERROR DETECTED

The PHY returns a 1 in bit 1 if the descrambler has lost lock since the last time this register was read. Otherwise it returns a 0.

MLT3 CODE ERROR DETECTED

The PHY returns a 1 in bit 0 if an MLT3 coding error has been detected in the receive data stream since the last time this

100BASE-TX RECEIVE ERROR COUNTER

RECEIVE ERROR COUNTER [15:0]

This counter increments each time the BCM5222 receives a non-collision packet containing at least one receive error. The

counter automatically clears itself when read. When the counter reaches its maximum value, FFh, it stops counting receive

errors until cleared.
