(000) Reset Cycle

Block 000 will have four functional blocks: one each for the DAC, ADC, and Ethernet Controller (EC), and one to coordinate their completion. The temperature sensor lacks an external reset function; it self-initializes on startup. The "R" packet will supply flags as to whether or not to enable the various blocks. A power-on reset will default to resetting all components. Using the enable flags like a mask on the done lines, the fourth functional block will update the state register. For information on the reset procedures, see Reset and Initialization.


  • Clk: [in] clock


Reset Signals

  • Rst: [in] asynchronous reset
  • Eth_iRst: [inout] EC active-low reset pin
  • Eth_iINT: [in] EC active-low interrupt signal


State Register Control Lines

  • state_En: [out] state register enable (write) signal
  • state_D: [out] (3-bit) state register input
  • state_Q: [in] (3-bit) state register output


MAC Address Register Control Lines

  • MACregs_En: [out] register enable (write) signal
  • MACregs_A: [out] byte address (4-bit)
  • MACregs_D: [out] 8-bit input value


Transceiver Control Lines

  • TxRx_Go: [out] "Go" signal to read/write an EC control register byte
  • TxRx_Aout: [out] EC control register address (8-bit)
  • TxRx_Dout: [out] EC control register write value
  • TxRx_RiW: [out] active-high read, active-low write flag
  • TxRx_Din: [in] EC control register return value
  • TxRx_Done: [in] "Done" signal from Transceiver.
  • dbShort: [in] debug signal to bypass EC reset waiting periods
