Product data sheet
7.10.1 Features
7.10 Ethernet
The Ethernet block contain a full featured 10 Mbit/s or 100 Mbit/s Ethernet MAC designed
to provide optimized performance through the use of DMA hardware acceleration.
Features include a generous suite of control registers, half or full duplex operation, flow
control, control frames, hardware acceleration for transmit retry, receive packet filtering
and wake-up on LAN activity. Automatic frame transmission and reception with
scatter-gather DMA off-loads many operations from the CPU.
The Ethernet block and the CPU share a dedicated AHB subsystem that is used to access
the Ethernet SRAM for Ethernet data, control, and status information. All other AHB traffic
in the LPC2377/78 takes place on a different AHB subsystem, effectively separating
Ethernet activity from the rest of the system. The Ethernet DMA can also access off-chip
memory via the EMC, as well as the SRAM located on another AHB, if it is not being used
by the USB block. However, using memory other than the Ethernet SRAM, especially
off-chip memory, will slow Ethernet access to memory and increase the loading of its AHB.
The Ethernet block interfaces between an off-chip Ethernet PHY using the Reduced MII
(RMII) protocol and the on-chip Media Independent Interface Management (MIIM) serial
bus.
