Block
The LAN9215 integrates an IEEE 802.3 physical layer for twisted pair Ethernet applications. The PHY
can be configured for either 100 Mbps (100BASE-TX) or 10 Mbps (10BASE-T) Ethernet operation in
either full or half duplex configurations. The PHY block supports HP Auto-MDIX and auto-negotiation.
Minimal external components are required for the utilization of the Integrated PHY.
The transmit and receive data paths are separate within the MAC allowing the highest performance
especially in full duplex mode. The data paths connect to the PIO interface Function via separate
busses to increase performance. Payload data as well as transmit and receive status is passed on
these busses.
A third internal bus is used to access the MAC’s Control and Status Registers (CSR’s). This bus is
accessible from the host through the PIO interface function.
On the backend, the MAC interfaces with the internal 10/100 PHY through a MII (Media Independent
Interface) port internal to the LAN9215. The MAC CSR's also provide a mechanism for accessing the
PHY’s internal registers through the internal SMI (Serial Management Interface) bus.The Ethernet MAC
can also communicate with an external PHY. This mode however, is optional.
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
