7.3.2.1.3.1 Sleep Ack

When a PHY receives LPS symbols from the link partner, the PHY transitions from Normal state (linked-up state) to Sleep ACK state.

During this transition, a timer of 8ms (sleep_ack_timer) is initialized and an interrupt is raised to indicate the MAC that the link partner is requesting sleep. The interrupt (LPS_int) is enabled by default (reg<0x0018>[0]=1).

The MAC can choose to abort the sleep by

  • Programming reg<0x001B> = 0x0001 (or)
  • Drive a high pulse on LED_1 to abort the sleep (This feature is disabled by default and has to be enabled prior to sleep negotiation by programming reg<0x001B> = 0x0002)

The PHY transitions back to Normal state if the MAC aborts the sleep. In case, the MAC chooses not to abort sleep before sleep_ack_timer lapses, the PHY transitions to Sleep Request state.
