out of reset.
RGMII_EN
I3/PD
103

USB to 10/100/1000 Gigabit Ethernet/HomePNA Controller
3.0 Function Description
3.1 USB Core and Interface
The USB core and interface contains an USB 2.0 transceiver, serial interface engine (SIE), USB bus protocol
handshaking block, USB standard command, vendor command registers, logic for supporting bulk transfer, and interrupt
transfer, etc. The USB interface is used to communicate with USB host controller and is compliant with USB
specification V1.0, V1.1 and V2.0.
3.2 Gigabit MAC Core
The gigabit MAC core supports IEEE 802.3, 802.3u, and 802.3ab MAC sub-layer functions, such as basic MAC frame
receive and transmit, CRC checking and generation, filtering, forwarding, flow-control in full-duplex mode, and
collision-detection and handling in half-duplex mode, etc. It provides gigabit media-independent (GMII) and reduced
gigabit media-independent (RGMII) interface for interfacing with Gigabit Ethernet PHY.
3.3 Station Management (STA)
The station management interface provides a simple, two-wire, serial interface to connect to a managed PHY device for
the purposes of controlling the PHY and gathering status from the PHY. The station management interface allows
communicating with multiple PHY devices at the same time by identifying the managed PHY with 5-bit, unique Phy ID.
3.4 Memory Arbiter
The memory arbiter block is responsible for storing received MAC frames into on-chip SRAM (packet buffer) and then
forwarding to USB bus upon request from USB host via bulk in transfer. It also monitors packet buffer usage in
full-duplex mode for triggering PAUSE frame transmission out on TX direction. The memory arbiter block is also
responsible for storing MAC frames received from USB host via bulk out transfer and waiting to be transmitted out
towards Ethernet network.
3.5 USB to Ethernet Bridge
The USB to Ethernet bridge block is responsible for converting Ethernet MAC frame into USB packets or vice-versa.
This block supports proprietary burst transfer mechanism (submitted for US patent application) to offload software
burden and to offer very high packet transfer throughput over USB bus.
3.6 Serial EEPROM Loader
The serial EEPROM loader is responsible for reading configuration data automatically from external serial EEPROM
after power-on reset.
3.7 General Purpose I/O
There are 3 general purpose I/O pins provided by this ASIC.

Phy Register Offset 1: Fill in Phy’s Register Offset of Primary Phy here. Upon each Interrupt Endpoint issued, its
register value will be reported in byte# 5 and 6 of Interrupt Endpoint packet.
Phy Register Offset 2: Fill in Phy’s Register Offset of Primary Phy here. Upon each Interrupt Endpoint issued, its
register value will be reported in byte# 7 and 8 of Interrupt Endpoint packet.
4.1.5 Max Packet Size High/Low Byte (10h)
Fill in this field the maximum RX/TX MAC frame size supported by this ASIC when Jumbo Frame mode is disabled. The
number must be even number in terms of byte and should be less than or equal to 2500 bytes. When Jumbo Frame mode
is enabled, the maximum MAC frame size is fixed to 9216 bytes and this setting is ignored.
4.1.6 Primary/Secondary Phy_Type and Phy_ID (11h)
The 3 bits Phy_Type field for both Primary and Secondary Phy is defined as follows,
3’b000: 10/100 Ethernet Phy or 1M HOME Phy (Link reports as normal case).
3’b100: Special case 1 (Link reports as always active).
3’b001: Gigabit Ethernet Phy.
3’b111: non-supported Phy. For example, the High Byte value of “E0h” in EEPROM offset of “11h” means that
secondary Phy is not supported.
4.1.7 Pause Frame High Water and Low Water Mark (12H)
When operating in full-duplex mode, correct setting of this field is very important and can affect the overall packet
receive throughput performance in a great deal. The High Water Mark is the threshold to trigger sending of Pause frame
and the Low Water Mark is the threshold to stop sending of Pause frame. Note that each free buffer count here represents
256 bytes of packet storage space in SRAM.
Total free buffer count = 80
Stop sending Pause frame when free buffer > Low Water Mark
Start sending Pause frame when free buffer < High Water Mark
0
When Jumbo frame mode is not disabled, user can fill in a smaller value in High Water Mark and a larger value in Low
Water Mark fields to have more efficient use of SRAM for packet buffering.

1: set high to enter clear state.
0: set low to exit clear state (default).
PRTE: External Phy Reset pin Tri-state Enable.
1: Enable, i.e., the external PHYRST_N pin is tri-stated (default). This allows the PHYRST_N pin’s active level to
be controlled by external pulled-up (active high during power-on) or pulled-down resistor (active low during
power-on).
0: Disabled, i.e., the external PHYRST_N pin’s level is driven by either PRL bit or internal “USB RESET” based on
the setting in SCPR bit in Flag byte of EEPROM.
PRL: External Phy Reset pin Level. When SCPR bit = 1 and PRTE = 0, this bit controls the output level of external
PHYRST_N pin.
1: Set to high (default).
0: Set to low.
BZ: Force Bulk In to return a Zero-length packet.
1: Software can force Bulk In to return a zero-length USB packet.
0: Normal operation mode (default).
Bit [7:5]: Please always write 010 to these bits.

6.2.2 Remote Wakeup Description
After AX88178 enters into suspend mode, either the USB host or AX88178 itself can awake it up and resume back to the
original operation mode before it entered suspend. Following truth table shows the chip setting, wakeup event, and device
response supported by this ASIC. Note that “X” stands for don’t-care.
