LAN100. Primary components of the LAN100, shown as blocks outlined in black, are
described below. The Transmit Datapath and Receive Datapath are shown with
unoutlined background colors.
The registers provide MMIO acces to the LAN100. They interface to the transmit and
receive data-paths, and to the MII Interface.
The MII Interface connects the LAN100 to the off-chip PHY.
The Transmit Datapath has two transmit DMA managers, DMA0 and DMA1, which
read descriptors and data from memory and write status to memory. In real-time
mode, DMA0 can be used to handle real-time transmissions and DMA1 can be used
to handle non-real-time transmissions. In Quality-of-Service (QoS) mode, DMA0 has
the lowest priority and DMA1 has the highest priority.
Transmission from both of the transmit DMA managers is mediated by arbitration
logic, including:
•
•
•
Multiplexers to select one of the transmit DMA managers
Transmit Retry module to handle Ethernet retry and abort conditions
Transmit Flow Control module to insert Ethernet pause frames where needed.
