STVAL
Name
Reserved locations. Written as
zeros and read as undefined.
Software Timer Value. STVAL
controls the maximum time for
the Software Timer to count be-
fore
(CSR7, bit 11) interrupt. The Soft-
ware Timer is a free-running timer
that is started upon the first write
to STVAL. After the first write, the
Software Timer will continually
count and set the STINT interrupt
at the STVAL period.
phases. Incorrect configuration
will result in a possible corruption
of data.
Flash read cycles are performed
when BCR30 is read and the
FLASH bit (BCR29, bit 15) is set
to 1. Upon completion of the read
cycle, the 8-bit result for Flash ac-
cess is stored in EBDATA[7:0],
EBDATA[15:8]
Flash write cycles are performed
when BCR30 is written and the
FLASH bit (BCR29, bit 15) is set
to 1. EBDATA[7:0] only is valid
for write cycles.
SRAM read cycles are performed
when BCR30 is read and the
FLASH bit (BCR29, bit 15) is set
to 0. Upon completion of the read
cycle, the 16-bit result for SRAM
access is stored in EBDATA.
Write cycles to the SRAM are in-
voked when BCR30 is written
and the FLASH bit (BCR29, bit
15) is set to 0. Byte writes to the
SRAM must use a read-modify-
write scheme since the word is al-
ways valid for SRAM write or
read accesses.
This bit is read and write accessi-
ble only when the STOP is set or
when SRAM SIZE (BCR25, bits
7-0) is 0. EBDATA is undefined
after H_RESET and is unaffected
by S_RESET and the STOP bit.

ANTST
MIIPD
Name
The STVAL value is interpreted
as an unsigned number with a
resolution of 256 Time Base
Clock periods. For instance, a
value of 122 ms would be pro-
grammed with a value of 9531
(253Bh) if the Time Base Clock is
running at 20 MHz. A value of 0 is
undefined and will result in erratic
behavior.
Read and write accessible al-
ways. STVAL is set to FFFFh af-
ter H_RESET and is unaffected
by S_RESET and the STOP bit.
Reserved locations. Written as
zeros and read as undefined.
Reserved
tests. Written as 0 and read as
undefined.
Note: Use of this bit will cause
data corruption and erroneous
operation.
This bit is always read/write ac-
cessible. ANTST is set to 0 by
H_RESET and is unaffected by
S_RESET and the STOP bit.
MII PHY Detect (is used for man-
ufacturing tests). MIIPD reflects
the quiescent state of the MDIO
pin. MIIPD is continuously updat-
ed whenever there is no manage-
ment operation in progress on the
MII interface. When a manage-
ment operation begins on the in-
terface, the state of MIIPD is
preserved until the operation
ends, when the quiescent state is
again monitored and continuous-
ly updates the MIIPD bit. When
the MDIO pin is at a quiescent
LOW state, MIIPD is cleared to 0.
When the MDIO pin is at a quies-
cent HIGH state, MIIPD is set to
1. MIIPD is used by the automatic
port selection logic to select the
