PRODUCTION DATA
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
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.
