12 / 134 page Highly Efficient Single-Chip 10/100 Ethernet Controller with HP Auto-MDIX Datasheet Revision 1.5 (07-18-06) 12 SMSC LAN9215 DATASHEET The MAC Interface Layer (MIL), within the MAC, contains a 2K Byte transmit and a 128 Byte receive FIFO which is separate from the TX and RX FIFOs. The FIFOs within the MAC are not directly accessible from the host interface. The differentiation between the TX/RX FIFO memory buffers and the MAC buffers is that when the transmit or receive packets are in the MAC buffers, the host no longer can control or access the TX or RX data. The MAC buffers (both TX and RX) are in effect the working buffers of the Ethernet MAC logic. In the case of reception, the data must be moved first to the RX FIFOs for the host to access the data. 1.5 Receive and Transmit FIFOs The Receive and Transmit FIFOs allow increased packet buffer storage to the MAC. The FIFOs are a conduit between the host interface and the MAC through which all transmitted and received data and status information is passed. Deep FIFOs allow a high degree of latency tolerance relative to the various transport and OS software stacks thus reducing or minimizing overrun conditions. Like the MAC, the FIFOs have separate receive and transmit data paths. In addition, the RX and TX FIFOs are configurable in size, allowing increased flexibility. 1.6 Interrupt Controller The LAN9215 supports a single programmable interrupt. The programmable nature of this interrupt allows the user the ability to optimize performance dependent upon the application requirement. Both the polarity and buffer type of the interrupt pin are configurable for the external interrupt processing. The interrupt line can be configured as an open-drain output to facilitate the sharing of interrupts with other devices. In addition, a programmable interrupt de-assertion interval is provided. 1.7 GPIO Interface A 3-bit GPIO and 2-bit GPO (Multiplexed on the EEPROM and LED Pins) interface is included in the LAN9215. It is accessible through the host bus interface via the CSRs. The GPIO signals can function as inputs, push-pull outputs and open drain outputs. The GPIO’s (GPO’s are not configurable) can also be configured to trigger interrupts with programmable polarity. 1.8 Serial EEPROM Interface A serial EEPROM interface is included in the LAN9215. The serial EEPROM is optional and can be programmed with the LAN9215 MAC address. The LAN9215 can optionally load the MAC address automatically after power-on. 1.9 Power Management Controls The LAN9215 supports comprehensive array of power management modes to allow use in power sensitive applications. Wake on LAN, Link Status Change and Magic Packet detection are supported by the LAN9215. An external PME (Power Management Event) interrupt is provided to indicate detection of a wakeup event. 1.10 General Purpose Timer The general-purpose timer has no dedicated function within the LAN9215 and may be programmed to issue a timed interrupt. |
