PMA Analog Controls
You can use the Transceiver Reconfiguration Controller to reconfigure the following 
analog controls:
■ Differential output voltage (V
OD
)
■ Pre-emphasis taps
■ Receiver equalization control
■ Receiver equalization DC gain
Table 10–9 lists the memory-mapped PMA analog registers that you can access using 
the reconfiguration management interface. 
1 All undefined register bits are reserved.

Bits R/W Register Name Description
7’h08 [9:0] RW
logical channel number
The logical channel number. Must be specified when 
performing dynamic updates. The Transceiver 
Reconfiguration Controller maps the logical address to the 
physical address.
7’h09 [9:0] R
physical channel address
The physical channel address. The Transceiver 
Reconfiguration Controller maps the logical address to the 
physical address.
7’h0A
[9] R
control and status
Error
. When asserted, indicates an error. This bit is asserted 
if any of the following conditions occur:
■ The channel address is invalid.
■ The PHY address is invalid.
■ The PMA offset is invalid.
[8] R
Busy
. When asserted, indicates that a reconfiguration 
operation is in progress. 
[1] W
Read
. Writing a 1 to this bit triggers a read operation.
[0] W
Write
. Writing a 1 to this bit triggers a write operation.
7’h0B [5:0] RW
pma offset
Specifies the offset of the PMA analog setting to be 
reconfigured. Table 10–10 describes the valid offset values.
7’h0C [6:0] RW
data
Reconfiguration data for the PMA analog settings. Refer to 
Table 10–10 for valid data values.
