SMSC LAN9218I
High-Performance Single-Chip 10/100 Ethernet Controller with HP Auto-MDIX & Industrial Temperature Support
Datasheet
Chapter 1 General Description
The LAN9218I is a full-featured, single-chip 10/100 Ethernet controller designed for embedded
applications where performance, flexibility, ease of integration and system cost control are required.
The LAN9218I has been specifically architected to provide the highest performance possible for any
given architecture. The LAN9218I is fully IEEE 802.3 10BASE-T and 802.3u 100BASE-TX compliant,
and supports HP Auto-MDIX.
The LAN9218I includes an integrated Ethernet MAC and PHY with a high-performance SRAM-like
slave interface. The simple, yet highly functional host bus interface provides a glue-less connection to
most common 16-bit and 32-bit microprocessors and microcontrollers . The LAN9218I includes large
transmit and receive data FIFOs with a high-speed host bus interface to accommodate high bandwidth,
high latency applications. In addition, the LAN9218I memory buffer architecture allows the most
efficient use of memory resources by optimizing packet granularity.
Applications
The LAN9218I is well suited for many high performance embedded applications, including:
„
High-end cable, satellite and IP set-top boxes
„
Video distribution systems
„
Multi-room PVR (Personal Video Recorder)
„
Digital video recorders
„
High-definition televisions
„
Digital media clients/servers
„
Home gateways
The LAN9218I also supports features which reduce or eliminate packet loss. Its internal 16-KByte
SRAM can hold over 200 received packets. If the receive FIFO gets too full, the LAN9218I can
automatically generate flow control packets to the remote node, or assert back-pressure on the remote
node by generating network collisions.
The LAN9218I supports numerous power management and wakeup features. The LAN9218I can be
placed in a reduced power mode and can be programmed to issue an external wake signal via several
methods, including “Magic Packet”, “Wake on LAN” and “Link Status Change”. This signal is ideal for
triggering system power-up using remote Ethernet wakeup events. The device can be removed from
the low power state via a host processor command.

Figure 1.1 System Block Diagram
The SMSC LAN9218I integrated 10/100 MAC/PHY controller is a peripheral chip that performs the
function of translating parallel data from a host controller into Ethernet packets. The LAN9218I Ethernet
MAC/PHY controller is designed and optimized to function in an embedded environment. All
communication is performed with programmed I/O transactions using the simple SRAM-like host
interface bus.
The diagram shown above, describes a typical system configuration of the LAN9218I in a typical
embedded environment.
The LAN9218I is a general purpose, platform independent, Ethernet controller. The LAN9218I consists
of four major functional blocks. The four blocks are:

„
10/100 Ethernet PHY
„
10/100 Ethernet MAC
„
RX/TX FIFOs
„
Host Bus Interface (HBI)
Compatibility with First-generation LAN9118 Family Devices
The LAN9218I is driver-, register-, and footprint-compatible with previous generation LAN9118 Family
devices. Drivers written for these products will work with the LAN9218I. However, in order to support
HP Auto-MDIX, other components such as the magnetics and the passive components around the
magnetics need to change, and supporting these changes does require a minor PCB change. A
reference design for the LAN9218I will be available on SMSC’s website.

10/100 Ethernet PHY
The LAN9218I integrates an IEEE 802.3 physical layer for twisted pair Ethernet applications. The PHY
can be configured for either 100 Mbps (100Base-TX) or 10 Mbps (10Base-T) Ethernet operation in
either full or half duplex configurations. The PHY block supports HP Auto-MDIX and auto-negotiation.
Minimal external components are required for the utilization of the Integrated PHY.
1.4
10/100 Ethernet MAC
The transmit and receive data paths are separate within the MAC allowing the highest performance
especially in full duplex mode. The data paths connect to the PIO interface Function via separate
busses to increase performance. Payload data as well as transmit and receive status is passed on
these busses.
A third internal bus is used to access the MAC’s Control and Status Registers (CSR’s). This bus is
accessible from the host through the PIO interface function.
On the backend, the MAC interfaces with the internal 10/100 PHY through a the MII (Media
Independent Interface) port internal to the LAN9218I. The MAC CSR's also provides a mechanism for
accessing the PHY’s internal registers through the internal SMI (Serial Management Interface) bus.

DATASHEET
Revision 1.5 (07-18-06)
High-Performance Single-Chip 10/100 Ethernet Controller with HP Auto-MDIX & Industrial Temperature Support
Datasheet
The MAC Interface Layer (MIL), within the MAC, contains a 2K Byte transmit and a 128 Byte receive
FIFO which is separate from the TX and RX FIFOs. The FIFOs within the MAC are not directly
accessible from the host interface. The differentiation between the TX/RX FIFO memory buffers and
the MAC buffers is that when the transmit or receive packets are in the MAC buffers, the host no longer
can control or access the TX or RX data. The MAC buffers (both TX and RX) are in effect the working
buffers of the Ethernet MAC logic. In the case of reception, the data must be moved first to the RX
FIFOs for the host to access the data.
1.5
Receive and Transmit FIFOs
The Receive and Transmit FIFOs allow increased packet buffer storage to the MAC. The FIFOs are a
conduit between the host interface and the MAC through which all transmitted and received data and
status information is passed. Deep FIFOs allow a high degree of latency tolerance relative to the
various transport and OS software stacks thus reducing or minimizing overrun conditions. Like the
MAC, the FIFOs have separate receive and transmit data paths. In addition, the RX and TX FIFOs are
configurable in size, allowing increased flexibility.
1.6
Interrupt Controller
The LAN9218I supports a single programmable interrupt. The programmable nature of this interrupt
allows the user the ability to optimize performance dependent upon the application requirement. Both
the polarity and buffer type of the interrupt pin are configurable for the external interrupt processing.
The interrupt line can be configured as an open-drain output to facilitate the sharing of interrupts with
other devices. In addition, a programmable interrupt de-assertion interval is provided.
1.7
GPIO Interface
A 3-bit GPIO and 2-bit GPO (Multiplexed on the EEPROM and LED Pins) interface is included in the
LAN9218I. It is accessible through the host bus interface via the CSRs. The GPIO signals can function
as inputs, push-pull outputs and open drain outputs. The GPIO’s (GPO’s are not configurable) can also
be configured to trigger interrupts with programmable polarity.
1.8
Serial EEPROM Interface
A serial EEPROM interface is included in the LAN9218I. The serial EEPROM is optional and can be
programmed with the LAN9218I MAC address. The LAN9218I can optionally load the MAC address
automatically after power-on.
1.9
Power Management Controls
The LAN9218I supports comprehensive array of power management modes to allow use in power
sensitive applications. Wake on LAN, Link Status Change and Magic Packet detection are supported
by the LAN9218I. An external PME (Power Management Event) interrupt is provided to indicate
detection of a wakeup event.
1.10
General Purpose Timer
The general-purpose timer has no dedicated function within the LAN9218I and may be programmed
to issue a timed interrupt.

Host Bus Interface (SRAM Interface)
The host bus interface provides a FIFO interface for the transmit and receive data paths, as well as
an interface for the LAN9218I Control and Status Registers (CSR’s).
The host bus interface is the primary bus for connection to the embedded host system. This interface
models an asynchronous SRAM. TX FIFO, RX FIFO, and CSR’s are accessed through this interface.
Programmed I/O transactions are supported.
The LAN9218I host bus interface supports 32-bit and 16-bit bus transfers; internally, all data paths are
32-bits wide. The LAN9218I can be interfaced to either Big-Endian or Little-Endian processors.

General Purpose I/O data: These
three general-purpose signals are
fully programmable as either pushpull output, open-drain output or input
by writing the GPIO_CFG

They are also multiplexed as GP LED

This signal is driven low (LED on)
when the LAN9218I detects a valid

Chapter 3 Functional Description
3.1
10/100 Ethernet MAC
The Ethernet Media Access controller (MAC) incorporates the essential protocol requirements for
operating an Ethernet/IEEE 802.3-compliant node and provides an interface between the host
subsystem and the internal Ethernet PHY. The MAC can operate in either 100-Mbps or 10-Mbps mode.
The MAC operates in both half-duplex and full-duplex modes. When operating in half-duplex mode,
the MAC complies fully with Section 4 of ISO/IEC 8802-3 (ANSI/IEEE standard) and ANSI/IEEE 802.3
standards. When operating in full-duplex mode, the MAC complies with IEEE 802.3x full-duplex
operation standard.
The MAC provides programmable enhanced features designed to minimize host supervision, bus
utilization, and pre- or post-message processing. These features include the ability to disable retries
after a collision, dynamic FCS (Frame Check Sequence) generation on a frame-by-frame basis,
automatic pad field insertion and deletion to enforce minimum frame size attributes, and automatic
retransmission and detection of collision frames.
The MAC can sustain transmission or reception of minimally-sized back-to-back packets at full line
speed with an interpacket gap (IPG) of 9.6 microseconds for 10 Mbps and 0.96 microseconds for 100
Mbps.
The primary attributes of the MAC Function are:
„
Transmit and receive message data encapsulation
„
Framing (frame boundary delimitation, frame synchronization)
„
Error detection (physical medium transmission errors)
„
Media access management
„
Medium allocation (collision detection, except in full-duplex operation)
„
Contention resolution (collision handling, except in full-duplex operation)
„
Flow control during full-duplex mode
„
Decoding of control frames (PAUSE command) and disabling the transmitter
„
Generation of control frames
„
Interface to the internal PHY.
The transmit and receive data paths are separate within the LAN9218I from the MAC to host interface
allowing the highest performance, especially in full duplex mode. Payload data as well as transmit and
receive status are passed on these busses.
A third internal bus is used to access the MAC’s “Control and Status Registers” (CSR’s). This bus is
also accessible from the host.
On the backend, the MAC interfaces with the 10/100 PHY through anMII (Media Independent Interface)
port which is internal to the LAN9218I. The MAC CSR's also provide a mechanism for accessing the
PHY’s internal registers through the internal SMI (Serial Management Interface) bus.
The receive and transmit FIFOs allow increased packet buffer storage to the MAC. The FIFOs are a
conduit between the host interface and the MAC through which all transmitted and received data and
status information is passed. Deep FIFOs allow a high degree of latency tolerance relative to the
various transport and OS software stacks reducing and minimizing overrun conditions. Like the MAC,
the FIFOs have separate receive and transmit data paths.
The LAN9218I can store up to 250 Ethernet packets utilizing FIFOs, totaling 16K bytes, with a packet
granularity of 4 bytes. This memory is shared by the RX and TX blocks and is configurable in terms
of allocation. This depth of buffer storage minimizes or eliminates receive overruns.

3.2
Flow Control
The LAN9218I Ethernet MAC supports full-duplex flow control using the pause operation and control
frame. It also supports half-duplex flow control using back pressure.
3.2.1
Full-Duplex Flow Control
The pause operation inhibits data transmission of data frames for a specified period of time. A Pause
operation consists of a frame containing the globally assigned multicast address (01-80-C2-00-00-01),
the PAUSE opcode, and a parameter indicating the quantum of slot time (512 bit times) to inhibit data
transmissions. The PAUSE parameter may range from 0 to 65,535 slot times. The Ethernet MAC logic,
on receiving a frame with the reserved multicast address and PAUSE opcode, inhibits data frame
transmissions for the length of time indicated. If a Pause request is received while a transmission is
in progress, then the pause will take effect after the transmission is complete. Control frames are
received and processed by the MAC and are passed on.
The MAC also transmits control frames (pause command) via both hardware and software control. The
software driver requests the MAC to transmit a control frame and gives the value of the PAUSE time
to be used in the control frame. The MAC Function constructs a control frame with the appropriate
values set in all the different fields (as defined in the 802.3x specification) and transmits the frame to
the MII interface. The transmission of the control frame is not affected by the current state of the Pause
timer value that is set because of a recently received control frame.
3.2.2
Half-Duplex Flow Control (Backpressure)
In half-duplex mode, back pressure is used for flow control. Whenever the receive buffer/FIFO
becomes full or crosses a certain threshold level, the MAC starts sending a Jam signal. The MAC
transmit logic enters a state at the end of current transmission (if any), where it waits for the beginning
of a received frame. Once a new frame starts, the MAC starts sending the Jam signal, which will result
in a collision. After sensing the collision, the remote station will back off its transmission. The MAC
continues sending the jam to make other stations defer transmission. The MAC only generates this
collision-based back pressure when it receives a new frame, in order to avoid any late collisions.
3.2.3
Virtual Local Area Network (VLAN) Support
Virtual Local Area Networks or VLANs, as defined within the IEEE 802.3 standard, provide network
administrators one means of grouping nodes within a larger network into broadcast domains. To
implement a VLAN, four extra bytes are added to the basic Ethernet packet. As shown in Figure 3.1,
"VLAN Frame", the four bytes are inserted after the Source Address Field and before the Type/Length
field. The first two bytes of the VLAN tag identify the tag, and by convention are set to the value
0x8100. The last two bytes identify the specific VLAN associated with the packet; they also provide a
priority field.
The LAN9218I supports VLAN-tagged packets. The LAN9218I provides two registers which are used
to identify VLAN-tagged packets. One register should normally be set to the conventional VLAN ID of
0x8100. The other register provides a way of identifying VLAN frames tagged with a proprietary (not
0x8100) identifier. If a packet arrives bearing either of these tags in the two bytes succeeding the
Source Address field, the controller will recognize the packet as a VLAN-tagged packet. In this case,
the controller increases the maximum allowed packet size from 1518 to 1522 bytes (normally the
controller filters packets larger than 1518 bytes). This allows the packet to be received, and then
processed by host software, or to be transmitted on the network.

Address Filtering Functional Description
The Ethernet address fields of an Ethernet Packet, consists of two 6-byte fields: one for the destination
address and one for the source address. The first bit of the destination address signifies whether it is
a physical address or a multicast address.
The LAN9218I address check logic filters the frame based on the Ethernet receive filter mode that has
been enabled. Filter modes are specified based on the state of the control bits in Table 3.1, "Address
Filtering Modes", which shows the various filtering modes used by the Ethernet MAC Function. These
bits are defined in more detail in the “MAC Control Register”. Please refer to Section 5.4.1,
"MAC_CR—MAC Control Register," on page 94 for more information on this register.
If the frame fails the filter, the Ethernet MAC function does not receive the packet. The host has the
option of accepting or ignoring the packet.

Filtering Modes
3.4.1
Perfect Filtering
DESCRIPTION
This filtering mode passes only incoming frames whose destination address field exactly matches the
value programmed into the MAC Address High register and the MAC address low register. The MAC
address is formed by the concatenation of the above two registers in the MAC CSR Function.
3.4.2
Hash Only Filtering
This type of filtering checks for incoming Receive packets with either multicast or physical destination
addresses, and executes an imperfect address filtering against the hash table.
During imperfect hash filtering, the destination address in the incoming frame is passed through the
CRC logic and the upper six bits of the CRC register are used to index the contents of the hash table.
The hash table is formed by merging the register’s multicast hash table high and multicast hash table
low in the MAC CSR Function to form a 64-bit hash table. The most significant bit determines the
register to be used (High/Low), while the other five bits determine the bit within the register. A value
of 00000 selects Bit 0 of the multicast hash table low register and a value of 11111 selects Bit 31 of
the multicast hash table high register.
3.4.2.1
Hash Perfect Filtering
In hash perfect filtering, if the received frame is a physical address, the LAN9218I Packet Filter block
perfect-filters the incoming frame’s destination field with the value programmed into the MAC Address
High register and the MAC Address Low register. If the incoming frame is a multicast frame, however,
the LAN9218I packet filter function performs an imperfect address filtering against the hash table.
The imperfect filtering against the hash table is the same imperfect filtering process described in the
“Hash Only Filtering” section above.
3.4.2.2
Inverse Filtering
In inverse filtering, the Packet Filter Block accepts incoming frames with a destination address not
matching the perfect address (i.e., the value programmed into the MAC Address High register and the
MAC Address Low register in the CRC block and rejects frames with destination addresses matching
the perfect address.
For all filtering modes, when MCPAS is set, all multicast frames are accepted. When the PRMS bit is
set, all frames are accepted regardless of their destination address. This includes all broadcast frames
as well.

Wake-up Frame Detection
Setting the Wake-Up Frame Enable bit (WUEN) in the “WUCSR—Wake-up Control and Status
Register”, places the LAN9218I MAC in the wake-up frame detection mode. In this mode, normal data
reception is disabled, and detection logic within the MAC examines receive data for the preprogrammed wake-up frame patterns. The LAN9218I can be programmed to notify the host of the
wake-up frame detection with the assertion of the host interrupt (IRQ) or assertion of the power
management event signal (PME). Upon detection, the Wake-Up Frame Received bit (WUFR) in the
WUCSR is set. When the host clears the WUEN bit the LAN9218I will resume normal receive
operation.
Before putting the MAC into the wake-up frame detection state, the host must provide the detection
logic with a list of sample frames and their corresponding byte masks. This information is written into
the Wake-up Frame Filter register (WUFF). Please refer to Section 5.4.11, "WUFF—Wake-up Frame
Filter," on page 102 for additional information on this register.
The MAC supports four programmable filters that support many different receive packet patterns. If
remote wake-up mode is enabled, the remote wake-up function receives all frames addressed to the
MAC. It then checks each frame against the enabled filter and recognizes the frame as a remote wakeup frame if it passes the wakeup frame filter register’s address filtering and CRC value match.
In order to determine which bytes of the frames should be checked by the CRC module, the MAC uses
a programmable byte mask and a programmable pattern offset for each of the four supported filters.
The pattern’s offset defines the location of the first byte that should be checked in the frame. Since
the destination address is checked by the address filtering Function, the pattern offset is always greater
than 12.
The byte mask is a 31-bit field that specifies whether or not each of the 31 contiguous bytes within
the frame, beginning in the pattern offset, should be checked. If bit j in the byte mask is set, the
detection logic checks byte offset +j in the frame. In order to load the Wake-up Frame Filter register,
the host LAN driver software must perform eight writes to the Wake-up Frame Filter register (WUFF).
The Diagram shown in Table 3.2, "Wake-Up Frame Filter Register Structure" below, shows the wakeup frame filter register’s structure.
Note 3.1
Wake-up frame detection can be performed when the LAN9218I is in the D0 or D1 power
states. In the D0 state, wake-up frame detection is enabled when the WUEN bit is set.
Note 3.2
Wake-up frame detection, as well as Magic Packet detection, is always enabled and
cannot be disabled when the device enters the D1 state.

3.5.1
Magic Packet Detection
Setting the Magic Packet Enable bit (MPEN) in the “WUCSR—Wake-up Control and Status Register”,
places the LAN9218I MAC in the “Magic Packet” detection mode. In this mode, normal data reception
is disabled, and detection logic within the MAC examines receive data for a Magic Packet. The
LAN9218I can be programmed to notify the host of the “Magic Packet” detection with the assertion of
the host interrupt (IRQ) or assertion of the power management event signal (PME). Upon detection,
the Magic Packet Received bit (MPR) in the WUCSR is set. When the host clears the MPEN bit the
LAN9218I will resume normal receive operation. Please refer to Section 5.4.12, "WUCSR—Wake-up
Control and Status Register," on page 102 for additional information on this register
In Magic Packet mode, the Power Management Logic constantly monitors each frame addressed to
the node for a specific Magic Packet pattern. It checks only packets with the MAC’s address or a
broadcast address to meet the Magic Packet requirement. The Power Management Logic checks each
received frame for the pattern 48h FF_FF_FF_FF_FF_FF after the destination and source address
field.
Then the Function looks in the frame for 16 repetitions of the MAC address without any breaks or
interruptions. In case of a break in the 16 address repetitions, the PMT Function scans for the
48'hFF_FF_FF_FF_FF_FF pattern again in the incoming frame.
The 16 repetitions may be anywhere in the frame but must be preceded by the synchronization stream.
The device will also accept a multicast frame, as long as it detects the 16 duplications of the MAC
address. If the MAC address of a node is 00h 11h 22h 33h 44h 55h, then the MAC scans for the
following data sequence in an Ethernet: Frame.
Destination Address Source Address ……………FF FF FF FF FF FF
00 11 22 33 44 55 00 11 22 33 44 55 00 11 22 33 44 55 00 11 22 33 44 55

It should be noted that Magic Packet detection can be performed when LAN9218I is in the D0 or D1
power states. In the D0 state, “Magic Packet” detection is enabled when the MPEN bit is set. In the
D1 state, Magic Packet detection, as well as wake-up frame detection, are automatically enabled when
the device enters the D1 state.
3.6
Host Bus Operations
3.6.1
32-bit vs. 16-bit Host Bus Width Operation
The LAN9218I can be configured to communicate with the host bus via either a 32-bit or a 16-bit bus.
An external strap is used to select between the two modes. 32-bit mode is the native environment for
the LAN9218I. Ethernet controller and no special requirements exist for communication in this mode.
However, when this part is used in the 16-bit mode, two writes or reads must be performed back to
back to properly communicate.
The bus width is set by strapping the EEDIO pin; this setting can be read from bit 2 of the “Hardware
Configuration Register”. Please refer to Section 5.3.9, "HW_CFG—Hardware Configuration Register,"
on page 76 for additional information on this register.

16-bit Bus Writes
The host processor is required to perform two contiguous 16-bit writes to complete a single DWORD
transfer. This DWORD must begin and end on a DWORD address boundary (A[2] and higher, cannot
change during a sixteen bit write). No ordering requirements exist. The processor can access either
the low or high word first, as long as the next write is performed to the other word. If a write to the
same word is performed, the LAN9218I disregards the transfer.

16-bit Bus Reads
The host processor is required to perform two consecutive 16-bit reads to complete a single DWORD
transfer. This DWORD must begin and end on a DWORD address boundary (A[2] and higher, cannot
change during a sixteen bit read). No ordering requirements exist. The processor can access either
the low or high word first, as long as the next read is performed from the other word. If a read to the
same word is performed, the data read is invalid and should be re-read. This is not a fatal error. The
LAN9218I will reset its read counters and restart a new cycle on the next read. The Upper 16 data
pins (D[31:16]) are not driven by the LAN9218I in 16-bit mode. These pins have internal pull-down’s
and the signals are left in a high-impedance state.
3.7
Big and Little Endian Support
TheLAN9218I supports “Big-” or “Little-Endian” processors with either 16 or 32-bit busses. To support
big-endian processors, the hardware designer must explicitly invert the layout of the byte lanes.
3.8
Word Swap Function
Internally the LAN9218I is 32-bits wide. The LAN9218I supports a Word Swap Function when its Host
Bus Interface is configured to operate in 16-bit mode. This feature is controlled by the Word Swap
Register, which is described in Section 5.3.17, "WORD SWAP—Word Swap Control," on page 85. This
register affects how words on the data bus are written to or read from Controls and Status Registers
and the Transmit and Receive Data FIFOs. Refer to Table 3.7, "Word Swap Control (16-bit mode only)"
below for more details. Whenever the LAN9218I transmits data from the Transmit Data FIFO to the
network, the low order word is always transmitted first, and when the LAN9218I receives data from the
network to the Receive Data Fifo, the low-order word is always received first.
This register only takes effect when the LAN9218I is configured to operate in 16-bit mode. In 32-bit
mode, this register is ignored and the upper data bits, D[31:16], are always mapped to the high-order
word, and the lower data bits, D[15:0] are always mapped to the low-order word.

General Purpose Timer (GP Timer)
The General Purpose Timer is a programmable block that can be used to generate periodic host
interrupts. The resolution of this timer is 100uS.
The GP Timer loads the GPT_CNT Register with the value in the GPT_LOAD field and begins counting
down when the TIMER_EN bit is set to a ‘1.’ On a reset, or when the TIMER_EN bit changes from
set ‘1’ to cleared ‘0,’ the GPT_CNT field is initialized to FFFFh. The GPT_CNT register is also initialized
to FFFFh on a reset. Software can write the pre-load value into the GPT_LOAD field at any time; e.g.,
before or after the TIMER_EN bit is asserted. The GPT Enable bit TIMER_EN is located in the
GPT_CFG register.
Once enabled, the GPT counts down either 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 bit and the IRQ signal if the GPT_INT_EN bit is set, and continues counting. The GPT
interrupt status bit is in the INT_STS Register. The GPT_INT hardware interrupt can only be set if the
GPT_INT_EN bit is set. GPT_INT is a sticky bit (R/WC); i.e., once the GPT_INT bit is set, it can only
be cleared by writing a ‘1’ to the bit.
3.10
EEPROM Interface
The LAN9218I can optionally load its MAC address from an external serial EEPROM. If a properly
configured EEPROM is detected by the LAN9218I at power-up, hard reset or soft reset, the ADDRH
and ADDRL registers will be loaded with the contents of the EEPROM. If a properly configured
EEPROM is not detected, it is the responsibility of the host LAN Driver to set the IEEE addresses.
The LAN9218I EEPROM controller also allows the host system to read, write and erase the contents
of the Serial EEPROM. The EEPROM controller supports most “93C46” type EEPROMs configured for
128 x 8-bit operation.
3.10.1
MAC Address Auto-Load
On power-up, hard reset or soft reset, the EEPROM controller attempts to read the first byte of data
from the EEPROM (address 00h). If the value A5h is read from the first address, then the EEPROM
controller will assume that an external Serial EEPROM is present. The EEPROM controller will then
access the next EEPROM byte and send it to the MAC Address register byte 0 (ADDRL[7:0]). This
process will be repeated for the next five bytes of the MAC Address, thus fully programming the 48bit MAC address. Once all six bytes have been programmed, the “MAC Address Loaded” bit is set in
the E2P_CMD register. A detailed explanation of the EEPROM byte ordering with respect to the MAC
address is given in Section 5.4.3, "ADDRL—MAC Address Low Register," on page 97.
If an 0xA5h is not read from the first address, the EEPROM controller will end initialization. It is then
the responsibility of the host LAN driver software to set the IEEE address by writing to the MAC’s
ADDRH and ADDRL registers.
The host can initiate a reload of the MAC address from the EEPROM by issuing the RELOAD
command via the E2P command (E2P_CMD) register. If the first byte read from the EEPROM is not

A5h, it is assumed that the EEPROM is not present, or not programmed, and the MAC address reload
will fail. The “MAC Address Loaded” bit indicates a successful reload of the MAC address.
3.10.2
EEPROM Host Operations
After the EEPROM controller has finished reading (or attempting to read) the MAC after power-on, hard
reset or soft reset, the host is free to perform other EEPROM operations. EEPROM operations are
performed using the E2P_CMD and E2P data (E2P_DATA) registers. Section 5.3.23, "E2P_CMD –
EEPROM Command Register," on page 90 provides an explanation of the supported EEPROM
operations.
If the EEPROM operation is the “write location” (WRITE) or “write all” (WRAL) commands, the host
must first write the desired data into the E2P_DATA register. The host must then issue the WRITE or
WRAL command using the E2P_CMD register by setting the EPC_CMD field appropriately. If the
operation is a WRITE, the EPC_ADDR field in E2P_CMD must also be set to the desired location. The
command is executed when the host sets the EPC_BSY bit high. The completion of the operation is
indicated when the EPC_BSY bit is cleared.
If the EEPROM operation is the “read location” (READ) operation, the host must issue the READ
command using the E2P_CMD with the EPC_ADDR set to the desired location. The command is
executed when the host sets the EPC_BSY bit high. The completion of the operation is indicated when
the EPC_BSY bit is cleared, at which time the data from the EEPROM may be read from the
E2P_DATA register.
Other EEPROM operations are performed by writing the appropriate command to the EPC_CMD
register. The command is executed when the host sets the EPC_BSY bit high. The completion of the
operation is indicated when the EPC_BSY bit is cleared. In all cases the host must wait for EPC_BSY
to clear before modifying the E2P_CMD register.
Note: The EEPROM device powers-up in the erase/write disabled state. To modify the contents of
the EEPROM the host must first issue the EWEN command.
If an operation is attempted, and an EEPROM device does not respond within 30mS, the LAN9218I
will timeout, and the EPC timeout bit (EPC_TO) in the E2P_CMD register will be set.
Figure 3.2, "EEPROM Access Flow Diagram" illustrates the host accesses required to perform an
EEPROM Read or Write operation.

Supported EEPROM Operations
The EEPROM controller supports the following EEPROM operations under host control via the
E2P_CMD register. The operations are commonly supported by “93C46” EEPROM devices. A
description and functional timing diagram is provided below for each operation. Please refer to the
E2P_CMD register description in Section 5.3.23, "E2P_CMD – EEPROM Command Register," on
page 90 for E2P_CMD field settings for each command.
ERASE (Erase Location): If erase/write operations are enabled in the EEPROM, this command will
erase the location selected by the EPC Address field (EPC_ADDR). The EPC_TO bit is set if the
EEPROM does not respond within 30ms.

MAC Address Reload
The MAC address can be reloaded from the EEPROM via a host command to the E2P_CMD register.
If a value of 0xA5h is not found in the first address of the EEPROM, the EEPROM is assumed to be
un-programmed and MAC Address Reload operation will fail. The “MAC Address Loaded” bit indicates
a successful load of the MAC address. The EPC_LOAD bit is set after a successful reload of the MAC
address.

Power Management
The LAN9218I supports power-down modes to allow applications to minimize power consumption. The
following sections describe these modes.
3.11.1
System Description
Power is reduced to various modules by disabling the clocks as outlined in Table 3.9, “Power
Management States,” on page 37. All configuration data is saved when in either of the twolow power
states. Register contents are not affected unless specifically indicated in the register description.
3.11.2
Functional Description
There is one normal operating power state, D0 and there are two power saving states: D1, and D2.
Upon entry into either of the two power saving states, only the PMT_CTRL register is accessible for
read operations. In either of the power saving states the READY bit in the PMT_CTRL register will be
cleared. Reads of any other addresses are forbidden until the READY bit is set. All writes, with the
exception of the wakeup write to BYTE_TEST, are also forbidden until the READY bit is set. Only when
in the D0 (Normal) state, when the READY bit is set, can the rest of the device be accessed.
Note 3.3
The LAN9218I must always be read at least once after power-up, reset, or upon return
from a power-saving state, otherwise write operations will not function.
In system configurations where the PME signal is shared amongst multiple devices, the WUPS field
within the PMT_CTRL register can be read to determine which LAN9218I device is driving the PME
signal.
When the LAN9218I is in a power saving state (D1 or D2), a write cycle to the BYTE_TEST register
will return the LAN9218I to the D0 state. Table 7.2, “Power Consumption Device and System
Components,” on page 126 and Table 7.2, “Power Consumption Device and System Components,” on
page 126, shows the power consumption values for each power state.
Note 3.4
3.11.2.1
When the LAN9218I is in a power saving state, a write of any data to the BYTE_TEST
register will wake-up the device. DO NOT PERFORM WRITES TO OTHER
ADDRRESSES while the READY bit in the PMT_CTRL register is cleared.
D1 Sleep
Power consumption is reduced in this state by disabling clocks to portions of the internal logic as
shown in Table 3.9. In this mode the clock to the internal PHY and portions of the MAC are still
operational. This state is entered when the host writes a '01' to the PM_MODE bits in the Power
Management (PMT_CTRL) register. The READY bit in PMT_CTRL is cleared when entering the D1
state.
Wake-up frame and Magic Packet detection are automatically enabled in the D1 state. If properly
enabled via the WOL_EN and PME_EN bits, the LAN9218I will assert the PME hardware signal upon
the detection of the wake-up frame or magic packet. The LAN9218I can also assert the host interrupt
(IRQ) on detection of a wake-up frame or magic packet. Upon detection, the WUPS field in PMT_CTRL
will be set to a 10b.
Note 3.5
The PME interrupt status bit (PME_INT) in the INT_STS register is set regardless of the
setting of PME_EN.
Note 3.6
Wake-up frame and Magic Packet detection is automatically enabled when entering the D1
state. For wake-up frame detection, the wake-up frame filter must be programmed before
entering the D1 state (see Section 3.5, "Wake-up Frame Detection," on page 25). If used,
the host interrupt and PME signal must be enabled prior to entering the D1 state.
A write to the BYTE_TEST register, regardless of whether a wake-up frame or Magic Packet was
detected, will return LAN9218I to the D0 state and will reset the PM_MODE field to the D0 state. As

noted above, the host is required to check the READY bit and verify that it is set before attempting
any other reads or writes of the device.
Note 3.7
The host must do only read accesses prior to the ready bit being set.
Once the READY bit is set, the LAN9218I is ready to resume normal operation. At this time the WUPS
field can be cleared.
3.11.2.2
D2 Sleep
In this state, as shown in Table 3.9, all clocks to the MAC and host bus are disabledand the PHY is
placed in a reduced power state. To enter this state, the EDPWRDOWN bit in register 17 of the PHY
(Mode Control/Status register) must be set. This places the PHY in the Energy Detect mode. The
PM_MODE bits in the PMT_CTRL register must then be set to 10b. Upon setting the PM_MODE bits,
the LAN9218I will enter the D2 sleep state. The READY bit in PMT_CTRL is cleared when entering
the D2 state.
Note 3.8
If carrier is present when this state is entered detection will occur immediately.
If properly enabled via the ED_EN and PME_EN bits, the LAN9218I will assert the PME hardware
signal upon detection of a valid carrier. Upon detection, the WUPS field in PMT_CTRL will be set to
a 01b.
Note 3.9
The PME interrupt status bit on the INT_STS register (PME_INT) is set regardless of the
setting of PME_EN.
A write to the BYTE_TEST register, regardless of whether a carrier was detected, will return the
LAN9218I to the D0 state and will reset the PM_MODE field to the D0 state. As noted above, the host
is required to check the READY bit and verify that it is set before attempting any other reads or writes
of the device. Before the LAN9218I is fully awake from this state the EDPWRDOWN bit in register 17
of the PHY must be cleared in order to wake the PHY. Do not attempt to clear the EDPWRDOWN bit
until the READY bit is set. After clearing the EDPWRDOWN bit the LAN9218I is ready to resume
normal operation. At this time the WUPS field can be cleared.

Power Management Event Indicators
Figure 3.10 is a simplified block diagram of the logic that controls the external PME, and internal
pme_interrupt signals. The pme_interrupt signal is used to set the PME_INT status bit in the INT_STS
register, which, if enabled, will generate a host interrupt upon detection of a power management event.
The PME_INT status bit in INT_STS will remain set until the internal pme_interrupt signal is cleared
by clearing the WUPS bits, or by clearing the corresponding WOL_EN or ED_EN bit. After clearing the
internal pme_interrupt signal, the PME_INT status bit may be cleared by writing a ‘1’ to this bit in the
INT_STS register. It should be noted that the LAN9218I can generate a host interrupt regardless of
the state of the PME_EN bit, or the external PME signal.
The external PME signal can be setup for pulsed, or static operation. When the PME_IND bit in the
PMT_CTRL register is set to a ‘1’, the external PME signal will be driven active for 50ms upon
detection of a wake-up event. When the PME_IND bit is cleared, the PME signal will be driven
continuously upon detection of a wake-up event. The PME signal is deactivated by clearing the WUPS
bits, or by clearing the corresponding WOL_EN or ED_EN bit. The PME signal can also be deactivated
by clearing the PME_EN bit.

Internal PHY Power-Down modes
There are 2 power-down modes for the internal Phy:
3.11.3.1
General Power-Down
This power-down is controlled by register 0, bit 11. In this mode the internal PHY, except the
management interface, is powered-down and stays in that condition as long as Phy register bit 0.11 is
HIGH. When bit 0.11 is cleared, the PHY powers up and is automatically reset. Please refer to Section
5.5.1, "Basic Control Register," on page 104 for additional information on this register.

3.11.3.2
Energy Detect Power-Down
This power-down mode is activated by setting the Phy register bit 17.13 to 1. Please refer to Section
5.5.8, "Mode Control/Status," on page 108 for additional information on this register. In this mode when
no energy is present on the line, the PHY is powered down, with the exception of the management
interface, the SQUELCH circuit and the ENERGYON logic. The ENERGYON logic is used to detect
the presence of valid energy from 100Base-TX, 10Base-T, or Auto-negotiation signals
In this mode, when the ENERGYON signal is low, the PHY is powered-down, and nothing is
transmitted. When energy is received - link pulses or packets - the ENERGYON signal goes high, and
the PHY powers-up. It automatically resets itself into the state it had prior to power-down, and asserts
the INT7.1 bit of the register defined in Section 5.5.11, "Interrupt Source Flag," on page 111. If the
ENERGYON interrupt is enabled, this event will cause an interrupt to the host. The first and possibly
the second packet to activate ENERGYON may be lost.
When 17.13 is low, energy detect power-down is disabled.

Power-On Reset (POR)
A Power-On reset occurs whenever power is initially applied to the LAN9218I, or if power is removed
and reapplied to the LAN9218I. A timer within the LAN9218I will assert the internal reset for
approximately 22ms. The READY bit in the PMT_CTRL register can be read from the host interface
and will read back a ‘0’ until the POR is complete. Upon completion of the POR, the READY bit in
PMT_CTRL is set high, and the LAN9218I can be configured via its control registers.
APPLICATION NOTE: Under normal conditions, the READY bit in PMT_CTRL will be set (high -”1”) after an internal
reset (22ms). If the software driver polls this bit and it is not set within 100ms, then an error
condition occurred.

A hardware reset will occur when the nRESET input signal is driven low. The READY bit in the
PMT_CTRL register can be read from the host interface, and will read back a ‘0’ until the hardware
reset is complete. Upon completion of the hardware reset, the READY bit in PMT_CTRL is set high.
After the “READY” bit is set, the LAN9218I can be configured via its control registers. The nRESET
signal is pulled-high internally by the LAN9218I and can be left unconnected if unused. If used,
nRESET must be driven low for a minimum period as defined in Section 6.8, "Reset Timing," on
page 123.
APPLICATION NOTE: Under normal conditions, the READY bit in PMT_CTRL will be set (high -”1”) immediately. If
the software driver polls this bit and it is not set within 100ms, then an error condition
occurred.
3.12.3
Resume Reset Timing
After issuing a write to the BYTE_TEST register to wake the LAN9218I from a power-down state, the
READY bit in PMT_CTRL will assert (set High) within 2ms.
APPLICATION NOTE: Under normal conditions, the READY bit in PMT_CTRL will be set (high -”1”) within 2 ms. If
the software driver polls this bit and it is not set within 100ms, then an error condition
occurred.
3.12.4
Soft Reset (SRST)
Soft reset is initiated by writing a ‘1’ to bit 0 of the HW_CFG register (SRST). This self-clearing bit will
return to ‘0’ after approximately 2 μs, at which time the Soft Reset is complete. Soft reset does not
clear control register bits marked as NASR.
APPLICATION NOTE: Under normal conditions, the READY bit in PMT_CTRL will be set (high -”1”) immediately,
(within 2μs). If the software driver polls this bit and it is not set within 100ms, then an error
condition occurred.
3.12.5
PHY Reset Timing
The following sections and tables specify the operation and time required for the internal PHY to
become operational after various resets or when returning from the reduced power state.
3.12.5.1
PHY Soft Reset via PMT_CTRL bit 10 (PHY_RST)
The PHY soft reset is initiated by writing a ‘1’ to bit 10 of the PMT_CTRL register (PHY_RST). This
self-clearing bit will return to ‘0’ after approximately 100 μs, at which time the PHY reset is complete.

PHY Soft Reset via PHY Basic Control Register (PHY Reg. 0.15)
The PHY Reg. 0.15 Soft Reset is initiated by writing a ‘1’ to bit 15 of the PHY’s Basic Control Register.
This self-clearing bit will return to ‘0’ at which time the PHY reset is complete.
3.13
TX Data Path Operation
Data is queued for transmission by writing it into the TX data FIFO. Each packet to be transmitted may
be divided among multiple buffers. Each buffer starts with a two DWORD TX command (TX command
‘A’ and TX command ‘B’). The TX command instructs the LAN9218I on the handling of the associated
buffer. Packet boundaries are delineated using control bits within the TX command.
The host provides a 16-bit Packet Tag field in the TX command. The Packet Tag value is appended
to the corresponding TX status DWORD. All Packet Tag fields must have the same value for all buffers
in a given packet. If tags differ between buffers in the same packet the TXE error will be asserted. Any
value may be chosen for a Packet Tag as long as all tags in the same Packet are identical. Packet
Tags also provide a method of synchronization between transmitted packets and their associated
status. Software can use unique Packet Tags to assist with validating matching status completions.
Note 3.13 The use of packet tags is not required by the hardware. This is a software LAN driver only
application example for use of this field.
A Packet Length field in the TX command specifies the number of bytes in the associated packet. All
Packet Length fields must have the same value for all buffers in a given packet. Hardware compares
the Packet Length field and the actual amount of data received by the Ethernet controller. If the actual
packet length count does not match the Packet Length field as defined in the TX command, the
Transmitter Error (TXE) flag is asserted.
The LAN9218I can be programmed to start payload transmission of a buffer on a byte boundary by
setting the “Data Start Offset” field in the TX command. The “Data Start Offset” field points to the actual
start of the payload data within the first 8 DWORDs of the buffer. Data before the “Data Start Offset”
pointer will be ignored. When a packet is split into multiple buffers, each successive buffer may begin
on any arbitrary byte.
The LAN9218I can be programmed to strip padding from the end of a transmit packet in the event that
the end of the packet does not align with the host burst boundary. This feature is necessary when the
LAN9218I is operating in a system that always performs multi-word bursts. In such cases the
LAN9218I must guarantee that it can accept data in multiples of the Burst length regardless of the
actual packet length. When configured to do so, the LAN9218I will accept extra data at the end of the
packet and will remove the extra padding before transmitting the packet. The LAN9218I automatically
removes data up to the boundary specified in the Buffer End Alignment field specified in each TX
command.
The host can instruct the LAN9218I to issue an interrupt when the buffer has been fully loaded into
the TX FIFO contained in the LAN9218I and transmitted. This feature is enabled through the TX
command ‘Interrupt on Completion’ field.
Upon completion of transmission, irrespective of success or failure, the status of the transmission is
written to the TX status FIFO. TX status is available to the host and may be read using PIO operations.
An interrupt can be optionally enabled by the host to indicate the availability of a programmable
number TX status DWORDS.
Before writing the TX command and payload data to the TX FIFO, the host must check the available
TX FIFO space by performing a PIO read of the TX_FIFO_INF register. The host must ensure that it
does not overfill the TX FIFO or the TX Error (TXE) flag will be asserted.
The host proceeds to write the TX command by first writing TX command ‘A’, then TX command ‘B’.
After writing the command, the host can then move the payload data into the TX FIFO. TX status
DWORD’s are stored in the TX status FIFO to be read by the host at a later time upon completion of
the data transmission onto the wire.

TX Buffer Format
TX buffers exist in the host’s memory in a given format. The host writes a TX command word into the
TX data buffer before moving the Ethernet packet data. The TX command A and command B are 32bit values that are used by the LAN9218I in the handling and processing of the associated Ethernet
packet data buffer. Buffer alignment, segmentation and other packet processing parameters are
included in the command structure. The following diagram illustrates the buffer format.

Figure 3.12 TX Buffer Format
Figure 3.12, "TX Buffer Format", shows the TX Buffer as it is written into the LAN9218I. It should be
noted that not all of the data shown in this diagram is actually stored in the TX data FIFO. This must
be taken into account when calculating the actual TX data FIFO usage. Please refer to Section 3.13.5,
"Calculating Actual TX Data FIFO Usage," on page 47 for a detailed explanation on calculating the
actual TX data FIFO usage.
3.13.2
TX Command Format
The TX command instructs the TX FIFO controller on handling the subsequent buffer. The command
precedes the data to be transmitted. The TX command is divided into two, 32-bit words; TX command
‘A’ and TX command ‘B’.
There is a 16-bit packet tag in the TX command ‘B’ command word. Packet tags may, if host software
desires, be unique for each packet (i.e., an incrementing count). The value of the tag will be returned
in the RX status word for the associated packet. The Packet tag can be used by host software to
uniquely identify each status word as it is returned to the host.
Both TX command ‘A’ and TX command ‘B’ are required for each buffer in a given packet. TX
command ‘B’ must be identical for every buffer in a given packet. If the TX command ‘B’ words do not
match, the Ethernet controller will assert the Transmitter Error (TXE) flag.

3.13.3
TX Data Format
The TX data section begins at the third DWORD in the TX buffer (after TX command ‘A’ and TX
command ‘B’). The location of the first byte of valid buffer data to be transmitted is specified in the
“Data Start Offset” field of the TX command ‘A’ word. Table 3.13, "TX DATA Start Offset", shows the
correlation between the setting of the LSB’s in the “Data Start Offset” field and the byte location of the
first valid data byte. Additionally, transmit buffer data can be offset by up to 7 additional DWORDS as
indicated by the upper three MSB’s (5:2) in the “Data Start Offset” field.

TX data is contiguous until the end of the buffer. The buffer may end on a byte boundary. Unused
bytes at the end of the packet will not be sent to the MIL for transmission.
The Buffer End Alignment field in TX command ‘A’ specifies the alignment that must be maintained for
the associated buffer. End alignment may be specified as 4-, 16-, or 32-byte. The host processor is
responsible for adding the additional data to the end of the buffer. The hardware will automatically
remove this extra data.
3.13.3.1
TX Buffer Fragmentation Rules
Transmit buffers must adhere to the following rules:
„
Each buffer can start and end on any arbitrary byte alignment
„
The first buffer of any transmit packet can be any length
„
Middle buffers (i.e., those with First Segment = Last Segment = 0) must be greater than, or equal
to 4 bytes in length
„
The final buffer of any transmit packet can be any length
SMSC LAN9218I
45
DATASHEET
Revision 1.5 (07-18-06)
High-Performance Single-Chip 10/100 Ethernet Controller with HP Auto-MDIX & Industrial Temperature Support
Datasheet
Additionally, The LAN9218I has specific rules regarding the use of transmit buffers when in Store-andForward mode (i.e., HW_CFG[SF] = 1). When this mode is enabled, the total space consumed in the
TX FIFO (MIL) must be limited to no more than 2KB - 3 DWORDs (2,036 bytes total). Any transmit
packet that is so highly fragmented that it takes more space than this must be un-fragmented (by
copying to a Driver-supplied buffer) before the transmit packet can be sent to the LAN9218I.
One approach to determine whether a packet is too fragmented is to calculate the actual amount of
space that it will consume, and check it against 2,036 bytes. Another approach is to check the number
of buffers against a worst-case limit of 86 (see explanation below).
3.13.3.2
Calculating Worst-Case TX FIFO (MIL) Usage
The actual space consumed by a buffer consists only of any partial DWORD offsets in the first/last
DWORD of the buffer, plus all of the whole DWORDs in between. Any whole DWORD offsets and/or
alignments are stripped off before the buffer even gets into the TX data FIFO, and TX command words
are stripped off before the buffer is written to the TX FIFO, so none of those DWORDs count as space
consumed. The worst-case overhead for a TX buffer is 6 bytes, which assumes that it started on the
high byte of a DWORD and ended on the low byte of a DWORD. A TX packet consisting of 86 such
fragments would have an overhead of 516 bytes (6 * 86) which, when added to a 1514-byte max-size
transmit packet (1516 bytes, rounded up to the next whole DWORD), would give a total space
consumption of 2,032 bytes, leaving 4 bytes to spare; this is the basis for the "86 fragment" rule
mentioned above.
3.13.4
TX Status Format
TX status is passed to the host CPU through a separate FIFO mechanism. A status word is returned
for each packet transmitted. Data transmission is suspended if the TX status FIFO becomes full. Data
transmission will resume when the host reads the TX status and there is room in the FIFO for more
“TX Status” data.
The host can optionally choose to not read the TX status. The host can optionally ignore the TX status
by setting the “TX Status Discard Allow Overrun Enable” (TXSAO) bit in the TX Configuration Register
(TX_CFG). If this option is chosen TX status will not be written to the FIFO. Setting this bit high allows
the transmitter to continue operation with a full TX status FIFO. In this mode the status information is
still available in the TX status FIFO, and TX status interrupts still function. In the case of an overrun,
the TXSUSED counter will stay at zero and no further TX status will be written to the TX status FIFO
until the host frees space by reading TX status. If TXSAO is enabled, a TXE error will not be generated
if the TX status FIFO overruns. In this mode the host is responsible for re-synchronizing TX status in
the case of an overrun.

Calculating Actual TX Data FIFO Usage

„
TX command 'B' is written into the TX data FIFO when the First Segment (FS) bit is set in TX
command 'A'
„
Any DWORD-long data added as part of the “Data Start Offset” is removed from each buffer before
the data is written to the TX data FIFO. Any data that is less than 1 DWORD is passed to the TX
data FIFO.
„
Payload from each buffer within a Packet is written into the TX data FIFO.
„
Any DWORD-long data added as part of the End Padding is removed from each buffer before the
data is written to the TX data FIFO. Any end padding that is less than 1 DWORD is passed to the
TX data FIFO

3.13.7
TX Data FIFO Underrun
If the MIL is not operating in store and forward mode, and the host is unable supply data at the
Ethernet line rate, the TX data FIFO can underrun. If a TX underrun occurs, any further data written
to the TX data FIFO for the offending frame (the frame being transmitted during the underrun) will
automatically be discarded and no further data for that frame will be transmitted. TX data FIFO
underrun is not an error condition, and data transmission will resume with the next valid TX command.
In the case of a TX data FIFO underrun, the (TDFU) flag is set and can be used to generate a host
interrupt. A TX data FIFO underrun is also indicated in the TX status word for the underrun frame.
In the case of a TX underrun, the host is still required to write the remainder of the current TX packet
to the LAN9218I. Any remaining data from the underrun frame that is written to the LAN9218I will backup in the TX data FIFO (no more data is read until the next TX SOF [start of frame]). As the data backs
up in the TX data FIFO, it will be visible in the TX_FIFO_INF register. In typical Driver usage, software
will write the entire transmit packet to the LAN9218I and check INT_STS and see (from TDFU) that
the underrun has occurred.
Eventually, the driver will recognize the underrun. A '1' must then be written to the TXD_DUMP bit in
the TX_CFG to flush the remaining data in the TX data FIFO (note that TX_ON may be kept on while
flushing the remaining TX data FIFO contents). Once the leftover data from the underrun frame is
purged, the LAN9218I is ready to send new transmit packets. It is advisable to clear the TDFU bit prior
to transmitting any more data (assuming that SF=0) so that subsequent underruns can be detected,
but this is not required by the hardware.
3.13.8
Transmitter Errors
If the Transmitter Error (TXE) flag is asserted for any reason, the transmitter will continue operation.
TX Error (TXE) will be asserted under the following conditions:
3.13.9
„
If the actual packet length count does not match the Packet Length field as defined in the TX
command.
„
Both TX command ‘A’ and TX command ‘B’ are required for each buffer in a given packet. TX
command ‘B’ must be identical for every buffer in a given packet. If the TX command ‘B’ words do
not match, the Ethernet controller will assert the Transmitter Error (TXE) flag.
„
Host overrun of the TX data FIFO.
„
Overrun of the TX status FIFO (unless TXSAO is enabled)
Stopping and Starting the Transmitter
To halt the transmitter, the host must set the TX_STOP bit in the TX_CFG register. The transmitter will
finish sending the current frame (if there is a frame transmission in progress). When the transmitter
has received the TX status for this frame, it will clear the TX_STOP and TX_ON bits, and will pulse
the TXSTOP_INT.
Once stopped, the host can optionally clear the TX status and TX data FIFOs. The host must re-enable
the transmitter by setting the TX_ON bit. If the there are frames pending in the TX data FIFO (i.e., TX
data FIFO was not purged), the transmission will resume with this data.
3.14
RX Data Path Operation
When an Ethernet Packet is received, the MIL first begins to transfer the RX data. This data is loaded
into the RX data FIFO. The RX data FIFO pointers are updated as data is written into the FIFO.
The last transfer from the MIL is the RX status word. The LAN9218I implements a separate FIFO for
the RX status words. The total available RX data and status queued in the RX FIFO can be read from
the RX_FIFO_INF register. The host may read any number of available RX status words before
reading the RX data FIFO.

DATASHEET
SMSC LAN9218I
High-Performance Single-Chip 10/100 Ethernet Controller with HP Auto-MDIX & Industrial Temperature Support
Datasheet
The host must use caution when reading the RX data and status. The host must never read more data
than what is available in the FIFOs. If this is attempted an underrun condition will occur. If this error
occurs, the Ethernet controller will assert the Receiver Error (RXE) interrupt. If an underrun condition
occurs, a soft reset is required to regain host synchronization.
A configurable beginning offset is supported in the LAN9218I. The RX data Offset field in the RX_CFG
register controls the number of bytes that the beginning of the RX data buffer is shifted. The host can
set an offset from 0-31 bytes. The offset may be changed in between RX packets, but it must not be
changed during an RX packet read.
The LAN9218I can be programmed to add padding at the end of a receive packet in the event that
the end of the packet does not align with the host burst boundary. This feature is necessary when the
LAN9218I is operating in a system that always performs multi-DWORD bursts. In such cases the
LAN9218I must guarantee that it can transfer data in multiples of the Burst length regardless of the
actual packet length. When configured to do so, the LAN9218I will add extra data at the end of the
packet to allow the host to perform the necessary number of reads so that the Burst length is not cut
short. Once a packet has been padded by the H/W, it is the responsibility of the host to interrogate the
Packet length field in the RX status and determine how much padding to discard at the end of the
Packet.
It is possible to read multiple packets out of the RX data FIFO in one continuous stream. It should be
noted that the programmed Offset and Padding will be added to each individual packet in the stream,
since packet boundaries are maintained.
3.14.1
RX Slave PIO Operation
Using PIO mode, the host can either implement a polling or interrupt scheme to empty the received
packet out of the RX data FIFO. The host will remain in the idle state until it receives an indication
(interrupt or polling) that data is available in the RX data FIFO. The host will then read the RX status
FIFO to get the packet status, which will contain the packet length and any other status information.
The host should perform the proper number of reads, as indicated by the packet length plus the start
offset and the amount of optional padding added to the end of the frame, from the RX data FIFO.

Receive Data FIFO Fast Forward
The RX data path implements an automatic data discard function. Using the RX data FIFO Fast
Forward bit (RX_FFWD) in the RX_DP_CTRL register, the host can instruct the LAN9218I to skip the
packet at the head of the RX data FIFO. The RX data FIFO pointers are automatically incremented to
the beginning of the next RX packet.

DATASHEET
SMSC LAN9218I
High-Performance Single-Chip 10/100 Ethernet Controller with HP Auto-MDIX & Industrial Temperature Support
Datasheet
When performing a fast-forward, there must be at least 4 DWORDs of data in the RX data FIFO for
the packet being discarded. For less than 4 DWORDs do not use RX_FFWD. In this case data must
be read from the RX data FIFO and discarded using standard PIO read operations.
After initiating a fast-forward operation, do not perform any reads of the RX data FIFO until the
RX_FFWD bit is cleared. Other resources can be accessed during this time (i.e., any registers and/or
the other three FIFOs). Also note that the RX_FFWD will only fast-forward the RX data FIFO, not the
RX status FIFO. After an RX fast-forward operation the RX status must still be read from the RX status
FIFO.
The receiver does not have to be stopped to perform a fast-forward operation.
3.14.1.2
Force Receiver Discard (Receiver Dump)
In addition to the Receive data Fast Forward feature, LAN9218I also implements a receiver "dump"
feature. This feature allows the host processor to flush the entire contents of the RX data and RX
status FIFOs. When activated, the read and write pointers for the RX data and status FIFOs will be
returned to their reset state. To perform a receiver dump, the LAN9218I receiver must be halted. Once
the receiver stop completion is confirmed, the RX_DUMP bit can be set in the RX_CFG register. The
RX_DUMP bit is cleared when the dump is complete. For more information on stopping the receiver,
please refer to Section 3.14.4, "Stopping and Starting the Receiver," on page 55. For more information
on the RX_DUMP bit, please refer to Section 5.3.7, "RX_CFG—Receive Configuration Register," on
page 74.
3.14.2
RX Packet Format
The RX status words can be read from the RX status FIFO port, while the RX data packets can be
read from the RX data FIFO. RX data packets are formatted in a specific manner before the host can
read them. It is assumed that the host has previously read the associated status word from the RX
status FIFO, to ascertain the data size and any error conditions.

Stopping and Starting the Receiver
To stop the receiver, the host must clear the RXEN bit in the MAC Control Register. When the receiver
is halted, the RXSTOP_INT will be pulsed. Once stopped, the host can optionally clear the RX status
and RX data FIFOs. The host must re-enable the receiver by setting the RXEN bit.

A host underrun of the RX status FIFO
„
An overrun of the RX status FIFO
It is the duty of the host to identify and resolve any error conditions.

100Base-TX Transmit
The data path of the 100Base-TX is shown in Figure 4.1. Each major block is explained below.
4.2.1
4B/5B Encoding
The transmit data passes from the MII block to the 4B/5B encoder. This block encodes the data from
4-bit nibbles to 5-bit symbols (known as “code-groups”) according to Table 4.1. Each 4-bit data-nibble
is mapped to 16 of the 32 possible code-groups. The remaining 16 code-groups are either used for
control information or are not valid.
The first 16 code-groups are referred to by the hexadecimal values of their corresponding data nibbles,
0 through F. The remaining code-groups are given letter designations with slashes on either side. For
example, an IDLE code-group is /I/, a transmit error code-group is /H/, etc.
The encoding process may be bypassed by clearing bit 6 of register 31. When the encoding is
bypassed the 5th transmit data bit is equivalent to TX_ER.

INTERPRETATION
Scrambling
Repeated data patterns (especially the IDLE code-group) can have power spectral densities with large
narrow-band peaks. Scrambling the data helps eliminate these peaks and spread the signal power
more uniformly over the entire channel bandwidth. This uniform spectral density is required by FCC
regulations to prevent excessive EMI from being radiated by the physical wiring.
The scrambler also performs the Parallel In Serial Out conversion (PISO) of the data.
4.2.3
NRZI and MLT3 Encoding
The scrambler block passes the 5-bit wide parallel data to the NRZI converter where it becomes a
serial 125MHz NRZI data stream. The NRZI is encoded to MLT-3. MLT3 is a tri-level code where a
change in the logic level represents a code bit “1” and the logic output remaining at the same level
represents a code bit “0”.
4.2.4
100M Transmit Driver
The MLT3 data is then passed to the analog transmitter, which launches the differential MLT-3 signal,
on outputs TXP and TXN, to the twisted pair media via a 1:1 ratio isolation transformer. The 10BaseT and 100Base-TX signals pass through the same transformer so that common “magnetics” can be
used for both. The transmitter drives into the 100Ω impedance of the CAT-5 cable. Cable termination
and impedance matching require external components.
4.2.5
100M Phase Lock Loop (PLL)
The 100M PLL locks onto reference clock and generates the 125MHz clock used to drive the 125 MHz
logic and the 100Base-Tx Transmitter.

100Base-TX Receive
The receive data path is shown in Figure 4.2. Detailed descriptions are given below.
4.3.1
100M Receive Input
The MLT-3 from the cable is fed into the PHY (on inputs RXP and RXN) via a 1:1 ratio transformer.
The ADC samples the incoming differential signal at a rate of 125M samples per second. Using a 64level quanitizer it generates 6 digital bits to represent each sample. The DSP adjusts the gain of the
ADC according to the observed signal levels such that the full dynamic range of the ADC can be used.
4.3.2
Equalizer, Baseline Wander Correction and Clock and Data Recovery
The 6 bits from the ADC are fed into the DSP block. The equalizer in the DSP section compensates
for phase and amplitude distortion caused by the physical channel consisting of magnetics, connectors,
and CAT- 5 cable. The equalizer can restore the signal for any good-quality CAT-5 cable between 1m
and 150m.
If the DC content of the signal is such that the low-frequency components fall below the low frequency
pole of the isolation transformer, then the droop characteristics of the transformer will become
significant and Baseline Wander (BLW) on the received signal will result. To prevent corruption of the
received data, the PHY corrects for BLW and can receive the ANSI X3.263-1995 FDDI TP-PMD
defined “killer packet” with no bit errors.
The 100M PLL generates multiple phases of the 125MHz clock. A multiplexer, controlled by the timing
unit of the DSP, selects the optimum phase for sampling the data. This is used as the received
recovered clock. This clock is used to extract the serial data from the received signal.
4.3.3
NRZI and MLT-3 Decoding
The DSP generates the MLT-3 recovered levels that are fed to the MLT-3 converter. The MLT-3 is then
converted to an NRZI data stream.

4.3.4
Descrambling
The descrambler performs an inverse function to the scrambler in the transmitter and also performs
the Serial In Parallel Out (SIPO) conversion of the data.
During reception of IDLE (/I/) symbols. the descrambler synchronizes its descrambler key to the
incoming stream. Once synchronization is achieved, the descrambler locks on this key and is able to
descramble incoming data.
Special logic in the descrambler ensures synchronization with the remote PHY by searching for IDLE
symbols within a window of 4000 bytes (40us). This window ensures that a maximum packet size of
1514 bytes, allowed by the IEEE 802.3 standard, can be received with no interference. If no IDLEsymbols are detected within this time-period, receive operation is aborted and the descrambler re-starts
the synchronization process.
The descrambler can be bypassed by setting bit 0 of register 31.
4.3.5
Alignment
The de-scrambled signal is then aligned into 5-bit code-groups by recognizing the /J/K/ Start-of-Stream
Delimiter (SSD) pair at the start of a packet. Once the code-word alignment is determined, it is stored
and utilized until the next start of frame.
4.3.6
5B/4B Decoding
The 5-bit code-groups are translated into 4-bit data nibbles according to the 4B/5B table. The SSD,
/J/K/, is translated to “0101 0101” as the first 2 nibbles of the MAC preamble. Reception of the SSD
causes the PHY to assert the internal RX_DV signal, indicating that valid data is available on the
Internal RXD bus. Successive valid code-groups are translated to data nibbles. Reception of either the
End of Stream Delimiter (ESD) consisting of the /T/R/ symbols, or at least two /I/ symbols causes the
PHY to de-assert the internal carrier sense and RX_DV.
These symbols are not translated into data.
4.4
10Base-T Transmit
Data to be transmitted comes from the MAC layer controller. The 10Base-T transmitter receives 4-bit
nibbles from the MII at a rate of 2.5MHz and converts them to a 10Mbps serial data stream. The data
stream is then Manchester-encoded and sent to the analog transmitter, which drives a signal onto the
twisted pair via the external magnetics.
The 10M transmitter uses the following blocks:
4.4.1
„
MII (digital)
„
TX 10M (digital)
„
10M Transmitter (analog)
„
10M PLL (analog)
10M Transmit Data across the internal MII bus
The MAC controller drives the transmit data onto the internal TXD BUS. When the controller has driven
TX_EN high to indicate valid data, the data is latched by the MII block on the rising edge of TX_CLK.
The data is in the form of 4-bit wide 2.5MHz data.
4.4.2
Manchester Encoding
The 4-bit wide data is sent to the TX10M block. The nibbles are converted to a 10Mbps serial NRZI
data stream. The 10M PLL locks onto the external clock or internal oscillator and produces a 20MHz

clock. This is used to Manchester encode the NRZ data stream. When no data is being transmitted
(TX_EN is low), the TX10M block outputs Normal Link Pulses (NLPs) to maintain communications with
the remote link partner.
4.4.3
10M Transmit Drivers
The Manchester encoded data is sent to the analog transmitter where it is shaped and filtered before
being driven out as a differential signal across the TXP and TXN outputs.
4.5
10Base-T Receive
The 10Base-T receiver gets the Manchester- encoded analog signal from the cable via the magnetics.
It recovers the receive clock from the signal and uses this clock to recover the NRZI data stream. This
10M serial data is converted to 4-bit data nibbles which are passed to the controller across the MII at
a rate of 2.5MHz.
This 10M receiver uses the following blocks:
4.5.1
„
Filter and SQUELCH (analog)
„
10M PLL (analog)
„
RX 10M (digital)
„
MII (digital)
10M Receive Input and Squelch
The Manchester signal from the cable is fed into the PHY (on inputs RXP and RXN) via 1:1 ratio
magnetics. It is first filtered to reduce any out-of-band noise. It then passes through a SQUELCH
circuit. The SQUELCH is a set of amplitude and timing comparators that normally reject differential
voltage levels below 300mV and detect and recognize differential voltages above 585mV.
4.5.2
Manchester Decoding
The output of the SQUELCH goes to the RX10M block where it is validated as Manchester encoded
data. The polarity of the signal is also checked. If the polarity is reversed (local RXP is connected to
RXN of the remote partner and vice versa), then this is identified and corrected. The reversed condition
is indicated by the flag “XPOL“, bit 4 in register 27. The 10M PLL is locked onto the received
Manchester signal and from this, generates the received 20MHz clock. Using this clock, the
Manchester encoded data is extracted and converted to a 10MHz NRZI data stream. It is then
converted from serial to 4-bit wide parallel data.
The RX10M block also detects valid 10Base-T IDLE signals - Normal Link Pulses (NLPs) - to maintain
the link.
4.5.3
Jabber Detection
Jabber is a condition in which a station transmits for a period of time longer than the maximum
permissible packet length, usually due to a fault condition, that results in holding the TX_EN input for
a long period. Special logic is used to detect the jabber state and abort the transmission to the line,
within 45ms. Once TX_EN is deasserted, the logic resets the jabber condition.
4.6
Auto-negotiation
The purpose of the Auto-negotiation function is to automatically configure the PHY to the optimum link
parameters based on the capabilities of its link partner. Auto-negotiation is a mechanism for
exchanging configuration information between two link-partners and automatically selecting the highest
performance mode of operation supported by both sides. Auto-negotiation is fully defined in clause 28
of the IEEE 802.3 specification.

Revision 1.5 (07-18-06)
High-Performance Single-Chip 10/100 Ethernet Controller with HP Auto-MDIX & Industrial Temperature Support
Datasheet
Once auto-negotiation has completed, information about the resolved link can be passed back to the
controller via the internal Serial Management Interface (SMI). The results of the negotiation process
are reflected in the Speed Indication bits in register 31, as well as the Link Partner Ability Register
(Register 5).
The auto-negotiation protocol is a purely physical layer activity and proceeds independently of the MAC
controller.
The advertised capabilities of the PHY are stored in register 4 of the SMI registers. The default
advertised by the PHY is determined by user-defined on-chip signal options.
The following blocks are activated during an Auto-negotiation session:
„
Auto-negotiation (digital)
„
100M ADC (analog)
„
100M PLL (analog)
„
100M equalizer/BLW/clock recovery (DSP)
„
10M SQUELCH (analog)
„
10M PLL (analog)
„
10M Transmitter (analog)
When enabled, auto-negotiation is started by the occurrence of one of the following events:
„
Hardware reset
„
Software reset
„
Power-down reset
„
Link status down
„
Setting register 0, bit 9 high (auto-negotiation restart)
On detection of one of these events, the PHY begins auto-negotiation by transmitting bursts of Fast
Link Pulses (FLP). These are bursts of link pulses from the 10M transmitter. They are shaped as
Normal Link Pulses and can pass uncorrupted down CAT-3 or CAT-5 cable. A Fast Link Pulse Burst
consists of up to 33 pulses. The 17 odd-numbered pulses, which are always present, frame the FLP
burst. The 16 even-numbered pulses, which may be present or absent, contain the data word being
transmitted. Presence of a data pulse represents a “1”, while absence represents a “0”.
The data transmitted by an FLP burst is known as a “Link Code Word.” These are defined fully in IEEE
802.3 clause 28. In summary, the PHY advertises 802.3 compliance in its selector field (the first 5 bits
of the Link Code Word). It advertises its technology ability according to the bits set in register 4 of the
SMI registers.
There are 4 possible matches of the technology abilities. In the order of priority these are:
„
100M full-duplex (Highest priority)
„
100M half-duplex
„
10M full-duplex
„
10M half-duplex
If the full capabilities of the PHY are advertised (100M, full-duplex), and if the link partner is capable
of 10M and 100M, then auto-negotiation selects 100M as the highest performance mode. If the link
partner is capable of half and full-duplex modes, then auto-negotiation selects full-duplex as the highest
performance operation.
Once a capability match has been determined, the link code words are repeated with the acknowledge
bit set. Any difference in the main content of the link code words at this time will cause auto-negotiation
to re-start. Auto-negotiation will also re-start if not all of the required FLP bursts are received.

SMSC LAN9218I
High-Performance Single-Chip 10/100 Ethernet Controller with HP Auto-MDIX & Industrial Temperature Support
Datasheet
Writing register 4 bits [8:5] allows software control of the capabilities advertised by the PHY. Writing
register 4 does not automatically re-start auto-negotiation. Register 0, bit 9 must be set before the new
abilities will be advertised. Auto-negotiation can also be disabled via software by clearing register 0,
bit 12.
The LAN9218I does not support “Next Page" capability.
4.7
Parallel Detection
If the LAN9218I is connected to a device lacking the ability to auto-negotiate (i.e. no FLPs are
detected), it is able to determine the speed of the link based on either 100M MLT-3 symbols or 10M
Normal Link Pulses. In this case the link is presumed to be half-duplex per the IEEE standard. This
ability is known as “Parallel Detection. This feature ensures inter operability with legacy link partners.
If a link is formed via parallel detection, then bit 0 in register 6 is cleared to indicate that the Link
Partner is not capable of auto-negotiation. The Ethernet MAC has access to this information via the
management interface. If a fault occurs during parallel detection, bit 4 of register 6 is set.
Register 5 is used to store the Link Partner Ability information, which is coded in the received FLPs.
If the Link Partner is not auto-negotiation capable, then register 5 is updated after completion of parallel
detection to reflect the speed capability of the Link Partner.
4.7.1
Re-starting Auto-negotiation
Auto-negotiation can be re-started at any time by setting register 0, bit 9. Auto-negotiation will also restart if the link is broken at any time. A broken link is caused by signal loss. This may occur because
of a cable break, or because of an interruption in the signal transmitted by the Link Partner. Autonegotiation resumes in an attempt to determine the new link configuration.
If the management entity re-starts Auto-negotiation by writing to bit 9 of the control register, the
LAN9218I will respond by stopping all transmission/receiving operations. Once the break_link_timer is
done, in the Auto-negotiation state-machine (approximately 1200ms) the auto-negotiation will re-start.
The Link Partner will have also dropped the link due to lack of a received signal, so it too will resume
auto-negotiation.
4.7.2
Disabling Auto-negotiation
Auto-negotiation can be disabled by setting register 0, bit 12 to zero. The device will then force its
speed of operation to reflect the information in register 0, bit 13 (speed) and register 0, bit 8 (duplex).
The speed and duplex bits in register 0 should be ignored when auto-negotiation is enabled.
4.7.3
Half vs. Full-Duplex
Half-duplex operation relies on the CSMA/CD (Carrier Sense Multiple Access / Collision Detect)
protocol to handle network traffic and collisions. In this mode, the carrier sense signal, CRS, responds
to both transmit and receive activity. In this mode, If data is received while the PHY is transmitting,
a collision results.
In full-duplex mode, the PHY is able to transmit and receive data simultaneously. In this mode, CRS
responds only to receive activity. The CSMA/CD protocol does not apply and collision detection is
disabled.
4.8
HP Auto-MDIX
HP Auto-MDIX facilitates the use of CAT-3 (10 Base-T) or CAT-5 (100 Base-T) media UTP interconnect
cable without consideration of interface wiring scheme. If a user plugs in either a direct connect LAN
cable, or a cross-over patch cable, as shown in Figure 4.3, the SMSC LAN9218I Auto-MDIX PHY is
capable of configuring the TPO and TPI twisted pair pins for correct transceiver operation.

High-Performance Single-Chip 10/100 Ethernet Controller with HP Auto-MDIX & Industrial Temperature Support
Datasheet
The internal logic of the device detects the TX and RX pins of the connecting device. Since the RX
and TX line pairs are interchangeable, special PCB design considerations are needed to accommodate
the symmetrical magnetics and termination of an Auto-MDIX design.
The Auto-MDIX function can be disabled through an internal register 27.15, or the external control pins
AMDIX_EN. When disabled the TX and RX pins can be configured with the Channel Select
(CH_SELECT) pin as desired.
The figure below shows the signal names at the RJ-45 connector, The mapping of these signals to the pins on
the LAN9218I is as follows:
TXP = TPO+
TXN = TPORXP = TPI+
RXN = TPI-

Reserved
Bits
Certain bits within registers are listed as “Reserved”. Unless stated otherwise, these bits must be
written with zeros for future compatibility. The values of these bits are not guaranteed when read.
Reserved
Registers
Certain configuration registers within the LAN9218I are listed as “Reserved”. These registers are not
guaranteed to return any particular value when read. These registers must not be written to or
modified by system failure; doing so could result in failure of the device and system.
Default
States
At Reset - System reset, Software Reset, or POR - internal registers are set to their default states.
The default states provide a minimum level of functionality needed to successfully bring up a system,
but do not necessarily provide desired or optimal configuration of the device. It is the responsibility
of the system initialization software to properly determine the operating parameters and optional
system features that are applicable, and to program the LAN9218I registers accordingly.
5.2
RX and TX FIFO Ports
The LAN9218I contains four host-accessible FIFOs: RX Status, RX Data, TX Status, and TX Data
FIFOs. The sizes Data FIFOs and the RX Status FIFO are configurable through the CSRs.
5.2.1
RX FIFO Ports
The RX Data Path contains two Read-Only FIFOs: RX Status and RX Data. The RX Status FIFO has
two ports at different address locations. The RX Status FIFO Port causes the top of the RX Status
FIFO to be “popped”, and is destructive. The RX Status FIFO PEEK Port allows the top of the RX
Status FIFO to be read without “popping” it.
The RX Data FIFO has a single port; reading data from this port always causes the top of the RX Data
FIFO to be “popped”. This port is aliased to 8 DWORD (in 32-bit mode) or 16 DWORD locations (in
16-bit mode). The host may access the top of the RX Data FIFO through any of these locations.
5.2.2
TX FIFO Ports
The TX Data Path consists of two FIFOs, TX Status and RX Data. The TX Status FIFO also has two
ports at different locations. When the TX Status FIFO Port is read, the top of the TX Status FIFO is
popped. When the TX Status FIFO PEEK Port is read, the top of the TX Status FIFO is not popped.
The TX data FIFO is Write Only. It is aliased to 8 DWORD (in 32-bit mode) or 16 DWORD locations
(in 16-bit mode). The host may access the top of the TX Data FIFO through any of these locations.

Store and Forward (SF). When set, this bit instructs the MIL to store a
frame of transmit data in the MIL buffer before forwarding to its final
destination.
If this bit is set, the MIL buffers the entire frame before transmitting. TTM
and TR (see bits 21,13, and 12) are treated as Don’t Cares once the SF
mode is selected.
If this bit is reset, the MAC initiates transmission before it receives the entire
frame from the HBI (Host Bus Interface). TTM and TR (see bit 21,13, and
12) determine when the MIL initiates the transmission. If the host cannot
keep up with the MAC transmitting the Ethernet Packet, there is a risk of an
Underrun Error.

TX FIFO Size (TX_FIF_SZ). Sets the size of the TX FIFOs in 1KB values

remaining space specified by TX_FIF_SZ. The minimum size of the TX
FIFOs is 2KB (TX data and status combined). The TX data FIFO is used for
both TX data and TX commands.
The RX status and data FIFOs consume the remaining space, which is
equal to 16KB – TX_FIF_SIZ. See section 5.3.9.1 Allowable settings for
Configurable FIFO Memory Allocationon page 78 for more information.

5.3.9.1
Allowable settings for Configurable FIFO Memory Allocation
TX and RX FIFO space is configurable through the CSR - HW_CFG register defined above. The user
must select the FIFO allocation by setting the TX FIFO Size (TX_FIF_SZ) field in the hardware
configuration (HW_CFG) register. The TX_FIF_SZ field selects the total allocation for the TX data path,
including the TX Status FIFO size. The TX Status FIFO size is fixed at 512 Bytes (128 TX Status
DWORDs). The TX Status FIFO length is subtracted from the total TX FIFO size with the remainder
being the TX data FIFO Size. Note that TX data FIFO space includes both commands and payload
data.
RX FIFO Size is the remainder of the unallocated FIFO space (16384 bytes – TX FIFO Size). The RX
Status FIFO size is always equal to 1/16 of the RX FIFO Size. The RX Status FIFO length is subtracted
from the total RX FIFO size with the remainder being the RX data FIFO Size.
For example, if TX_FIF_SZ = 6 then:
Total TX FIFO Size = 6144 Bytes (6KB)
TX Status FIFO Size = 512 Bytes (Fixed)
TX Data FIFO Size = 6144 – 512 = 5632 Bytes
RX FIFO Size = 16384 – 6144 = 10240 Bytes (10KB)
RX Status FIFO Size = 10240 / 16 = 640 Bytes (160 RX Status DWORDs)
RX Data FIFO Size = 10240 – 640 = 9600 Bytes
Table 5.3 shows every valid setting for the TX_FIF_SZ field. Note that settings not shown in this table
are reserved and should not be used.
Note: The RX data FIFO is considered full 4 DWORDs before the length that is specified in the
HW_CFG register.

DATASHEET
SMSC LAN9218I
High-Performance Single-Chip 10/100 Ethernet Controller with HP Auto-MDIX & Industrial Temperature Support
Datasheet
In addition to the host-accessible FIFOs, the MAC Interface Layer (MIL) contains an additional 2K
bytes of TX, and 128 bytes of RX FIFO buffering. These sizes are fixed, and cannot be adjusted by
the host.
As space in the TX MIL (Mac Interface Layer) FIFO frees, data is moved into it from the TX data FIFO.
Depending on the size of the frames to be transmitted, the MIL can hold up to two Ethernet frames.
This is in addition to any TX data that may be queued in the TX data FIFO.
Conversely, as data is received by the LAN9218I, it is moved from the MAC to the RX MIL FIFO, and
then into the RX data FIFO. When the RX data FIFO fills up, data will continue to collect in the RX
MIL FIFO. If the RX MIL FIFO fills up and overruns, subsequent RX frames will be lost until room is
made in the RX data FIFO. For each frame of data that is lost, the RX Dropped Frames Counter
(RX_DROP) is incremented.
RX and TX MIL FIFO levels are not visible to the host processor. RX and TX MIL FIFOs operate
independent of the TX data and RX data and status FIFOs. FIFO levels set for the RX and TX data
and Status FIFOs do not take into consideration the MIL FIFOs.

AFC_CFG – Automatic Flow Control Configuration Register
Offset:

This register configures the mechanism that controls both the automatic, and software-initiated
transmission of pause frames and back pressure.

During full-duplex operation only a single pause frame is transmitted when
this level is reached. The pause time transmitted in this frame is
programmed in the FCPT field of the FLOW register in the MAC CSR space.
During half-duplex operation each incoming frame that matches the criteria
in bits [3:0] of this register will be jammed for the period set in the
BACK_DUR field.
15:8
Automatic Flow Control Low Level (AFC_LO). Specifies, in multiples of
64 bytes, the level at which a pause frame is transmitted with a pause time
setting of zero. When the amount of data in the RX data FIFO falls below
this level the pause frame is transmitted. A pause time value of zero
instructs the other transmitting device to immediately resume transmission.
The zero time pause frame will only be transmitted if the RX data FIFO had
reached the AFC_HI level and a pause frame was sent. A zero pause time
frame is sent whenever automatic flow control in enabled in bits [3:0] of this
register.
Note:
When automatic flow control is enabled the AFC_LO setting must
always be less than the AFC_HI setting.

Backpressure Duration (BACK_DUR). When the LAN9218I automatically
asserts back pressure, it will be asserted for this period of time. This field

When this mode is enabled during half-duplex operation, the Flow Controller
does not decode the MAC address and will send a pause frame upon
receipt of a valid preamble (i.e., immediately at the beginning of the next
frame after the RX data FIFO level is reached).
When this mode is enabled during full-duplex operation, the Flow Controller
will immediately instruct the MAC to send a pause frame when the RX data
FIFO level is reached. The MAC will queue the pause frame transmission
for the next available window.
Setting this bit overrides bits [3:1] of this register.

EPC Busy: When a 1 is written into this bit, the operation specified in the
EPC command field is performed at the specified EEPROM address. This
bit will remain set until the operation is complete. In the case of a read this
means that the host can read valid data from the E2P data register. The
E2P_CMD and E2P_DATA registers should not be modified until this bit is
cleared. In the case where a write is attempted and an EEPROM is not
present, the EPC Busy remains busy until the EPC Time-out occurs. At that
time the busy bit is cleared.

READ (Read Location): This command will cause a read of the EEPROM
location pointed to by EPC Address. The result of the read is available in
the E2P_DATA register.
EWDS (Erase/Write Disable): After issued, the EEPROM will ignore erase
and write commands. To re-enable erase/write operations issue the EWEN
command.
EWEN (Erase/Write Enable): Enables the EEPROM for erase and write
operations. The EEPROM will allow erase and write operations until the
Erase/Write Disable command is sent, or until power is cycled.
Note:
The EEPROM device will power-up in the erase/write-disabled
state. Any erase or write operations will fail until an Erase/Write
Enable command is issued.
WRITE (Write Location): If erase/write operations are enabled in the
EEPROM, this command will cause the contents of the E2P_DATA register
to be written to the EEPROM location selected by the EPC Address field.
WRAL (Write All): If erase/write operations are enabled in the EEPROM,
this command will cause the contents of the E2P_DATA register to be
written to every EEPROM memory location.
ERASE (Erase Location): If erase/write operations are enabled in the
EEPROM, this command will erase the location selected by the EPC
Address field.
ERAL (Erase All): If erase/write operations are enabled in the EEPROM,
this command will initiate a bulk erase of the entire EEPROM.
RELOAD (MAC Address Reload): Instructs the EEPROM controller to
reload the MAC address from the EEPROM. If a value of 0xA5 is not found
in the first address of the EEPROM, the EEPROM is assumed to be unprogrammed and MAC Address Reload operation will fail. The “MAC
Address Loaded” bit indicates a successful load of the MAC address.

This register establishes the RX and TX operation modes and controls for address filtering and packet
filtering.
BITS
DESCRIPTION
31
Receive All Mode (RXALL). When set, all incoming packets will be received and passed on to the
address filtering Function for processing of the selected filtering mode on the received frame. Address
filtering then occurs and is reported in Receive Status. When reset, only frames that pass Destination
Address filtering will be sent to the Application.
30-24
Reserved
23
Disable Receive Own (RCVOWN). When set, the MAC disables the reception of frames when TXEN
is asserted. The MAC blocks the transmitted frame on the receive path. When reset, the MAC receives
all packets the PHY gives, including those transmitted by the MAC.This bit should be reset when the
Full Duplex Mode bit is set.
22
Reserved
21
Loopback operation Mode (LOOPBK). Selects the loop back operation modes for the MAC. This is
only for full duplex mode
1’b0: Normal: No feedback
1’b1: Internal: Through MII
In internal loopback mode, the TX frame is received by the Internal MII interface, and sent back to
the MAC without being sent to the PHY.
Note:
When enabling or disabling the loopback mode it can take up to 10μs for the mode change
to occur. The transmitter and receiver must be stopped and disabled when modifying the
LOOPBK bit. The transmitter or receiver should not be enabled within10μs of modifying the
LOOPBK bit.
20
Full Duplex Mode (FDPX). When set, the MAC operates in Full-Duplex mode, in which it can transmit
and receive simultaneously. In Full-Duplex mode, the heartbeat check is disabled and the heartbeat
fail status should thus be ignored.
19
Pass All Multicast (MCPAS). When set, indicates that all incoming frames with a Multicast destination
address (first bit in the destination address field is 1) are received. Incoming frames with physical
address (Individual Address/Unicast) destinations are filtered and received only if the address matches
the MAC Address.
18
Promiscuous Mode (PRMS). When set, indicates that any incoming frame is received regardless of
its destination address.
17
Inverse filtering (INVFILT). When set, the address check Function operates in Inverse filtering mode.
This is valid only during Perfect filtering mode.
16
Pass Bad Frames (PASSBAD). When set, all incoming frames that passed address filtering are
received, including runt frames, collided frames or truncated frames caused by buffer underrun.
15
Hash Only Filtering mode (HO). When set, the address check Function operates in the Imperfect
Address Filtering mode both for physical and multicast addresses

DESCRIPTION
Hash/Perfect Filtering Mode (HPFILT). When reset (0), the LAN9218I will implement a perfect
address filter on incoming frames according the address specified in the MAC address register.
When set (1), the address check Function does imperfect address filtering of multicast incoming
frames according to the hash table specified in the multicast hash table register.
If the Hash Only Filtering mode (HO) bit is set (1), then the physical (IA) are imperfect filtered too. If
the Hash Only Filtering mode (HO) bit is reset (0), then the IA addresses are perfect address filtered
according to the MAC Address register
12
Late Collision Control (LCOLL). When set, enables retransmission of the collided frame even after
the collision period (late collision). When reset, the MAC disables frame transmission on a late
collision. In any case, the Late Collision status is appropriately updated in the Transmit Packet status.
11
Disable Broadcast Frames (BCAST). When set, disables the reception of broadcast frames. When
reset, forwards all broadcast frames to the application.
10
Disable Retry (DISRTY). When set, the MAC attempts only one transmission. When a collision is
seen on the bus, the MAC ignores the current frame and goes to the next frame and a retry error is
reported in the Transmit status. When reset, the MAC attempts 16 transmissions before signaling a
retry error.
9
Reserved
8
Automatic Pad Stripping (PADSTR). When set, the MAC strips the pad field on all incoming frames,
if the length field is less than 46 bytes. The FCS field is also stripped, since it is computed at the
transmitting station based on the data and pad field characters, and is invalid for a received frame
that has had the pad characters stripped. Receive frames with a 46-byte or greater length field are
passed to the Application unmodified (FCS is not stripped). When reset, the MAC passes all incoming
frames to the host unmodified.
7-6
BackOff Limit (BOLMT). The BOLMT bits allow the user to set its back-off limit in a relaxed or
aggressive mode. According to IEEE 802.3, the MAC has to wait for a random number [r] of slottimes** after it detects a collision, where:
(eq.1)0 < r < 2K
The exponent K is dependent on how many times the current frame to be transmitted has been retried,
as follows:
(eq.2)K = min (n, 10) where n is the current number of retries.
If a frame has been retried three times, then K = 3 and r= 8 slot-times maximum. If it has been retried
12 times, then K = 10, and r = 1024 slot-times maximum.
An LFSR (linear feedback shift register) 20-bit counter emulates a 20bit random number generator,
from which r is obtained. Once a collision is detected, the number of the current retry of the current
frame is used to obtain K (eq.2). This value of K translates into the number of bits to use from the
LFSR counter. If the value of K is 3, the MAC takes the value in the first three bits of the LFSR counter
and uses it to count down to zero on every slot-time. This effectively causes the MAC to wait eight
slot-times. To give the user more flexibility, the BOLMT value forces the number of bits to be used
from the LFSR counter to a predetermined value as in the table below.
BOLMT Value
# Bits Used from LFSR Counter
2’b00
10
2’b01
8
2’b10
4
2’b11
1
Thus, if the value of K = 10, the MAC will look at the BOLMT if it is 00, then use the lower ten bits of the LFSR
counter for the wait countdown. If the BOLMT is 10, then it will only use the value in the first four bits for the
wait countdown, etc.
**Slot-time = 512 bit times. (See IEEE 802.3 Spec., Secs. 4.2.3.25 and 4.4.2.1)

Deferral Check (DFCHK). When set, enables the deferral check in the MAC. The MAC will abort the
transmission attempt if it has deferred for more than 24,288 bit times. Deferral starts when the
transmitter is ready to transmit, but is prevented from doing so because the CRS is active. Defer time
is not cumulative. If the transmitter defers for 10,000 bit times, then transmits, collides, backs off, and
then has to defer again after completion of back-off, the deferral timer resets to 0 and restarts. When
reset, the deferral check is disabled in the MAC and the MAC defers indefinitely.

The 64-bit Multicast table is used for group address filtering. For hash filtering, the contents of the
destination address in the incoming frame is used to index the contents of the Hash table. The most
significant bit determines the register to be used (Hi/Low), while the other five bits determine the bit
within the register. A value of 00000 selects Bit 0 of the Multicast Hash Table Lo register and a value
of 11111 selects the Bit 31 of the Multicast Hash Table Hi register.
If the corresponding bit is 1, then the multicast frame is accepted. Otherwise, it is rejected. If the “Pass All
Multicast” (MCPAS) bit is set (1), then all multicast frames are accepted regardless of the multicast hash
values.
The Multicast Hash Table Hi register contains the higher 32 bits of the hash table and the Multicast

MII Write (MIIWnR): Setting this bit tells the PHY that this will be a write operation using the MII data
register. If this bit is not set, this will be a read operation, packing the data in the MII data register.
0
MII Busy (MIIBZY): This bit must be polled to determine when the MII register access is complete.
This bit must read a logical 0 before writing to this register and MII data register.
The LAN driver software must set (1) this bit in order for the LAN9218I to read or write any of the MII
PHY registers.
During a MII register access, this bit will be set, signifying a read or write access is in progress. The
MII data register must be kept valid until the MAC clears this bit during a PHY write operation. The
MII data register is invalid until the MAC has cleared this bit during a PHY read operation.

FLOW—Flow Control Register
Offset:
8
Attribute:
R/W
Default Value:
00000000h
Size:
32 bits
This register controls the generation and reception of the Control (Pause command) frames by the
MAC’s flow control block. The control frame fields are selected as specified in the 802.3x Specification
and the Pause-Time value from this register is used in the “Pause Time” field of the control frame. In
full-duplex mode the FCBSY bit is set until the control frame is transferred onto the cable. In halfduplex mode FCBSY is set while back pressure is being asserted. The host has to make sure that the
Busy bit is cleared before writing the register. The Pass Control Frame bit (FCPASS) does not affect
the sending of the frames, including Control Frames, to the Application Interface. The Flow Control
Enable (FCEN) bit enables the receive portion of the Flow Control block.
This register is used in conjunction with the AFC_CFG register in the Slave CSRs to configure flow
control. Software flow control is initiated using the AFC_CFG register.
Note: The LAN9218I will not transmit pause frames or assert back pressure if the transmitter is
disabled.
BITS
DESCRIPTION
31-16
Pause Time (FCPT). This field indicates the value to be used in the PAUSE TIME field in the control
frame. This field must be initialized before full-duplex automatic flow control is enabled.
15-3
Reserved
2
Pass Control Frames (FCPASS). When set, the MAC sets the Packet Filter bit in the Receive packet
status to indicate to the Application that a valid Pause frame has been received. The Application must
accept or discard a received frame based on the Packet Filter control bit. The MAC receives, decodes
and performs the Pause function when a valid Pause frame is received in Full-Duplex mode and when
flow control is enabled (FCE bit set). When reset, the MAC resets the Packet Filter bit in the Receive
packet status.
The MAC always passes the data of all frames it receives (including Flow Control frames) to the
Application. Frames that do not pass Address filtering, as well as frames with errors, are passed to
the Application. The Application must discard or retain the received frame’s data based on the
received frame’s STATUS field. Filtering modes (Promiscuous mode, for example) take precedence
over the FCPASS bit.
1
Flow Control Enable (FCEN). When set, enables the MAC Flow Control function. The MAC decodes
all incoming frames for control frames; if it receives a valid control frame (PAUSE command), it
disables the transmitter for a specified time (Decoded pause time x slot time). When reset, the MAC
flow control function is disabled; the MAC does not decode frames for control frames.
Note:
0
Flow Control is applicable when the MAC is set in Full Duplex Mode. In Half-Duplex mode,
this bit enables the Backpressure function to control the flow of received frames to the MAC.
Flow Control Busy (FCBSY). This bit is set high whenever a pause frame or back pressure is being
transmitted. This bit should read logical 0 before writing to the Flow Control (FLOW) register. During
a transfer of Control Frame, this bit continues to be set, signifying that a frame transmission is in
progress. After the PAUSE control frame’s transmission is complete, the MAC resets to 0.
Notes:
When writing this register the FCBSY bit must always be zero.
„ Applications must always write a zero to this bit

Wake-Up Frame Filter (WFF). Wake-Up Frame Filter (WFF). The Wake-up frame filter is configured
through this register using an indexing mechanism. After power-on reset, hardware reset, or soft reset,
the MAC loads the first value written to this location to the first DWORD in the Wake-up frame filter
(filter 0 byte mask). The second value written to this location is loaded to the second DWORD in the
wake-up frame filter (filter 1 byte mask) and so on. Once all eight DWORDs have been written, the
internal pointer will once again point to the first entry and the filter entries can be modified in the same
manner.

Host Interface Timing
The LAN9218I supports the following host cycles:
Read Cycles:
„
PIO Reads (nCS or nRD controlled)
„
PIO Burst Reads (nCS or nRD controlled)
„
RX Data FIFO Direct PIO Reads (nCS or nRD controlled)
„
RX Data FIFO Direct PIO Burst Reads (nCS or nRD controlled)
Write Cycles:
6.1.1
„
PIO writes (nCS and nWR controlled)
„
TX Data FIFO direct PIO writes (nCS or nWR controlled)
Special Restrictions on Back-to-Back Write/Read Cycles
It is important to note that there are specific restrictions on the timing of back-to-back write-read
operations. These restrictions concern reading the control registers after any write cycle to the
LAN9218I device. In many cases there is a required minimum delay between writing to the LAN9218I,
and the subsequent side effect (change in the control register value). For example, when writing to the
TX Data FIFO, it takes up to 135ns for the level indication to change in the TX_FIFO_INF register.
In order to prevent the host from reading stale data after a write operation, minimum wait periods must
be enforced. These periods are specified in Table 6.1, "Read After Write Timing Rules". The host
processor is required to wait the specified period of time after any write to the LAN9218I before reading
the resource specified in the table. These wait periods are for read operations that immediately follow
any write cycle. Note that the required wait period is dependant upon the register being read after the
write.
Performing "dummy" reads of the BYTE_TEST register is a convenient way to guarantee that the
minimum write-to-read timing restriction is met. Table 6.1 also shows the number of dummy reads that
are required before reading the register indicated. The number of BYTE_TEST reads in this table is
based on the minimum timing for Tcycle (45ns). For microprocessors with slower busses the number
of reads may be reduced as long as the total time is equal to, or greater than the time specified in the
table. Note that dummy reads of the BYTE_TEST register are not required as long as the minimum
time period is met.

6.1.2
Special Restrictions on Back-to-Back Read Cycles
There are also restrictions on specific back-to-back read operations. These restrictions concern
reading specific registers after reading resources that have side effects. In many cases there is a delay
between reading the LAN9218I, and the subsequent indication of the expected change in the control
register values.
In order to prevent the host from reading stale data on back-to-back reads, minimum wait periods have
been established. These periods are specified in Table 6.2, "Read After Read Timing Rules". The host
processor is required to wait the specified period of time between read operations of specific
combinations of resources. The wait period is dependant upon the combination of registers being read.
Performing "dummy" reads of the BYTE_TEST register is a convenient way to guarantee that the
minimum wait time restriction is met. Table 6.2 also shows the number of dummy reads that are
required for back-to-back read operations. The number of BYTE_TEST reads in this table is based on
the minimum timing for Tcycle . For microprocessors with slower busses the number of reads may be
reduced as long as the total time is equal to, or greater than the time specified in the table. Dummy
reads of the BYTE_TEST register are not required as long as the minimum time period is met.

PIO Reads
PIO reads can be used to access CSRs or RX Data and RX/TX status FIFOs. In this mode, counters
in the CSRs are latched at the beginning of the read cycle. Read data is valid as indicated in the timing
diagram. PIO reads can be performed using Chip Select (nCS) or Read Enable (nRD). Either or both
of these control signals must go high between cycles for the period specified.
PIO reads are supported for both 16- and 32-bit access. Timing for 16-bit and 32-bit PIO Read cycles
is identical with the exception that D[31:16] are not driven during a 16-bit read.
Note: Some registers have restrictions on the timing of back-to-back, write-read and read-read
cycles.

PIO Burst Reads
In this mode, performance is improved by allowing up to 8 DWORD read cycles, or 16 WORD read
cycles back-to-back. PIO Burst Reads can be performed using Chip Select (nCS) or Read Enable
(nRD). Either or both of these control signals must go high between bursts for the period specified.

RX Data FIFO Direct PIO Reads
In this mode the upper address inputs are not decoded, and any read of the LAN9218I will read the
RX Data FIFO. This mode is enabled when FIFO_SEL is driven high during a read access. This is
normally accomplished by connecting the FIFO_SEL signal to high-order address line. This mode is
useful when the host processor must increment its address when accessing the LAN9218I . Timing is
identical to a PIO read, and the FIFO_SEL signal has the same timing characteristics as the address
lines.
Timing for 16-bit and 32-bit Direct PIO Read cycles is identical with the exception that D[31:16] is not
driven during a 16-bit read. Note that address lines A[2:1] are still used, and address bits A[7:3] are

RX Data FIFO Direct PIO Burst Reads
In this mode the upper address inputs are not decoded, and any burst read of the LAN9218I will read
the RX Data FIFO. This mode is enabled when FIFO_SEL is driven high during a read access. This
is normally accomplished by connecting the FIFO_SEL signal to a high-order address line. This mode
is useful when the host processor must increment its address when accessing the LAN9218I. Timing
is identical to a PIO Burst Read, and the FIFO_SEL signal has the same timing characteristics as the
address lines.
In this mode, performance is improved by allowing an unlimited number of back-to-back DWORD or
WORD read cycles. RX Data FIFO Direct PIO Burst Reads can be performed using Chip Select (nCS)
or Read Enable (nRD). When either or both of these control signals go high, they must remain high
for the period specified.
Timing for 16-bit and 32-bit RX Data FIFO Direct PIO Burst Reads is identical with the exception that
D[31:16] are not driven during a 16-bit burst. Note that address lines A[2:1] are still used, and address
bits A[7:3] are ignored.

rating only and functional operation of the device at any other condition above those indicated in the
operation sections of this specification is not implied.
Note: When powering this device from laboratory or system power supplies, it is important that the
absolute maximum ratings not be exceeded or device failure can result. Some power supplies
exhibit voltage spikes on their outputs when AC power is switched on or off. In addition, voltage
transients on the AC power line may appear on the DC output. If this possibility exists, it is
suggested that a clamp circuit be used.

Clock Circuit
The LAN9218I can accept either a 25MHz crystal (preferred) or a 25 MHz clock oscillator (±50 PPM)
input. The LAN9218I shares the 25MHz clock oscillator input (CLKIN) with the crystal input
XTAL1/CLKIN (pin 6).
The Input Clock Duty Cycle is 40% minimum, 50% typical and 60% maximum.
It is recommended that a crystal utilizing matching parallel load capacitors be used for the LAN9218I
crystal input/output signals (XTAL1, XTAL2). See Table 7.7, "Crystal Specifications" for crystal
specifications.
