Parameterized Values Used in Implementation
Conexant Proprietary and Confidential Information
Table 7-1 shows the values of the standard parameters used in the EMAC
implementation. These parameters are defined in sections 4.4.2.1 of Reference [4] and
4.4.2.3 of Reference [5]. The value specified for the Interframe Gap (IFG) parameter
determines the speed of the Ethernet. It is defined to be 96 µs for 1 Mb/s implementation,
9.6 µs for 10 Mb/s implementation, and 0.96 µs for 100 Mb/s implementation. Only the
10 Mb/s and 100 Mb/s implementations are supported in the HNP. The IFG parameter is
programmable through the Ethernet Network Access Register (bits 17:16 of E_NA_1 and
E_NA_2 for EMAC1 and EMAC2, respectively).
