for the frame to transmit. The second word is used to specify the total number of bytes of the frame. The packet data
follows. The packet data area holds the frame itself. It may or may not include the CRC checksum depending upon
whether hardware CRC checksum generation is enabled in TXCR (bit 1) register.
Multiple frames can be pipelined in both the transmit queue and receive queue as long as there is enough queue memory,
thus avoiding overrun. For each transmitted frame, the transmit status information for the frame is located in the TXSR
(0x72) register.
Since multiple packets can be pipelined into the TX packet memory for transmit, the transmit status reflects the status of
the packet that is currently being transferred on the MAC interface, which may or may not be the last queued packet in the
TX queue.
The transmit control word is the first 16-bit word in the TX packet memory, followed by a 16-bit byte count. It must be word
aligned. Each control word corresponds to one TX packet. Table 6 gives the transmit control word bit fields.
The transmit Byte Count specifies the total number of bytes to be transmitted from the TXQ. Its format is given in Table 7.
The data area contains six bytes of Destination Address (DA) followed by six bytes of Source Address (SA), followed by a
variable-length number of bytes. On transmit, all bytes are provided by the CPU, including the source address. The
KSZ8851-16MLL does not insert its own SA. The 802.3 Frame Length word (Frame Type in Ethernet) is not interpreted by
the KSZ8851-16MLL. It is treated transparently as data both for transmit operations.

Description
TXIC Transmit Interrupt on Completion
When this bit is set, the KSZ8851-16MLL sets the transmit interrupt after the present frame has been
transmitted.
Reserved.
TXFID Transmit Frame ID
This field specifies the frame ID that is used to identify the frame and its associated status information
in the transmit status register.
Description
Reserved.
TXBC Transmit Byte Count
Transmit Byte Count. Hardware uses the byte count information to conserve the TX buffer memory
for better utilization of the packet memory.
Note: The hardware behavior is unknown if an incorrect byte count information is written to this field.
Writing a 0 value to this field is not permitted.
