PHY Interrupt Control / Status Register – MR17
The Interrupt Control/Status Register provides the means for controlling and observing the events that
trigger an interrupt on the internal PHY interrupt signal. This register can also be used in a polling mode
via the MII Serial Interface as a means to observe key events within the PHY via one register address.
Bits 0 through 7 are status bits, which are each set to logic one based upon an event. These bits are
cleared after the register is read. Bits 8 through 15 of this register, when set to logic one, enable their
corresponding bit in the lower byte to signal an interrupt on the PHY interrupt signal.

This bit is set high by the auto-negotiation logic when a
parallel detect fault condition is indicated.
3

0
Link Partner Acknowledge Interrupt
This bit is set high by the auto-negotiation logic when
FLP bursts are received with the acknowledge bit set.
