DATASHEET
14.2.8.7 Virtual PHY Auto-Negotiation Expansion Register (VPHY_AN_EXP)
This register is used in the Auto-Negotiation process.
Note 14.37 The reserved bits 31-16 are used to pad the register to 32-bits so that each register is on
a DWORD boundary. When accessed serially (through the MII management protocol), the
register is 16-bits wide.
Note 14.38 Since the Virtual PHY link partner is emulated, there is never a Parallel Detection Fault
and this bit is always 0.
Note 14.39 Next page ability is not supported by the Virtual PHY or emulated link partner.
Note 14.40 The page received bit is clear when read. It is first cleared on reset, but set shortly
thereafter when the Auto-Negotiation process is run.
Note 14.41 The emulated link partner will show Auto-Negotiation able unless Auto-Negotiation fails (no
common bits between the advertised ability and the link partner ability).
