Register Descriptions

The ADVD3WUC bit (Advertise D3Cold Wakeup Capability Enable control) allows the
AUX_PWR pin to determine whether D3Cold support is advertised. If full 1 Gb/s operation in D3

state is desired but the system’s power requirements in this mode would exceed the D3Cold

Wakeup-Enabled specification limit (375 mA at 3.3 V dc), this bit can be used to prevent the
capability from being advertised to the system.

EEPROM settings allow the default PHY behavior to re-negotiate a lower functional link speed in

D3 and D0u states, when PHY operation is still needed for manageability or wakeup capability.

The EN_PHY_PWR_MGMT bit allows this capability to be disabled, in case full 1Gb/s speed is
desired in these states. The PHY is always powered-down in D3 states when unneeded for either

manageability or wakeup support.

Device Status Register

STATUS (00008h; R)

This register provides software status indication about the Ethernet controller’s settings and modes

of operation.

Note:

TBI Mode is used only by the 82544GC/EI Ethernet controller. Internal SerDes mode is used only
by the 82546GB/EB and 82545GM/EM Ethernet controllers.

BEM = 0 (64-bit mode; Little-Endian)
