This chapter details the LAN9311/LAN9311i General Purpose Timer (GPT) and the Free-Running
Clock.
The LAN9311/LAN9311i provides a 16-bit programmable General Purpose Timer that can be used to
generate periodic system interrupts. The resolution of this timer is 100uS.
The GPT loads the
GPT_LOAD field of the
TIMER_EN bit of the
a chip-level reset, or when the TIMER_EN bit changes from asserted (1) to de-asserted (0), the
GPT_LOAD field is initialized to FFFFh. The
also initialized to FFFFh on reset. Software can write a pre-load value into the GPT_LOAD field at any
time (e.g. before or after the TIMER_EN bit is asserted).
Once enabled, the GPT counts down until it reaches 0000h, or until a new pre-load value is written to
the GPT_LOAD field. At 0000h, the counter wraps around to FFFFh, asserts the GPT interrupt status

Once this bit is asserted, it can only be cleared by writing a 1 to the bit. Refer to

The Free-Running Clock (FRC) is a simple 32-bit up-counter that operates from a fixed 25MHz clock.
The current FRC value can be read via the
assertion of a chip-level reset, this counter is cleared to zero. On de-assertion of a reset, the counter
is incremented once for every 25MHz clock cycle. When the maximum count has been reached, the
counter rolls over to zeros. The FRC does not generate interrupts.
Note: The free running counter can take up to 160nS to clear after a reset event.
