Interrupts
The GT-48001A signals interrupts to a management CPU via the PCI INTA# pin. Interrupts are maskable through the
Interrupt Mask register and the interrupt source is determined through the Interrupt Cause register. The Interrupt Mask
register defaults to masking all interrupts. A ‘0’ in the appropriate bit means that particular interrupt will be masked. A
‘1’ in the appropriate bit means that particular interrupt will not be masked. The default is that all interrupts are masked.
Interrupts are cleared by writing ‘0’ to the corresponding bit in the Interrupt Cause register. Writing ‘1’ to a bit in the
Cause register has no effect.

RESET Configuration
The GT-48001A uses several pins as configuration inputs to set certain parameters following a RESET. The definition
of the configuration pins changes immediately after RESET to their usual function.
18.1
Configuration Pins
Configuration pins must be pulled up or down externally at reset to select the desired operational parameter. The rec-
ommended value of the pull-up/down resistors is 4.7K ohms.
Table 36 shows the configuration pins for the GT-48001A.
18.2
Configuration Input Timings
The configuration inputs have two timing requirements:
setup/hold time to clock (as any synchronous input)
setup of at least 10 clock cycles before RESET de-assertion (rising edge).
You can guarantee these parameters by using resistors to strap the configuration pins and delaying RESET de-asser-
tion until least 10 clock cycles after the clock is stable.

The inter-packet gap will restart at the end of TxEn, ignoring any
loopback of TxD back to RxD.
This mode is compatible with the GT-48001. The inter-packet gap
will restart when there is no transmit or receive activity.
