Non-PCI Single-Chip Full Duplex Ethernet Controller with Magic Packet
Chapter 1
General Description
The LAN91C96 is a VLSI Ethernet Controller that combines Local Bus, PCMCIA, and Motorola 68000 bus
interfaces in one chip. LAN91C96 integrates all MAC and physical layer functions, as well as the packet
RAM, needed to implement a high performance 10BASE-T (twisted pair) node. For 10BASE5 (thick coax),
10BASE2 (thin coax), and 10BASE-F (fiber) implementations, the LAN91C96 interfaces to external
transceivers via the provided AUI port. Only one additional IC is required for most applications. The
LAN91C96 comes with Full Duplex Switched Ethernet (FDSWE) support allowing the controller to provide
much higher throughput. 6K bytes of RAM is provided to support enhanced throughput and compensate
for any increased system service latencies. The controller implements multiple advanced power-down
modes including Magic Packet to conserve power and operate more efficiently. The LAN91C96 can
directly interface with the Local Bus, PCMCIA, and 68000 buses and deliver no-wait-state operation. For
Local Bus and PCMCIA interfaces, the LAN91C96 occupies 16 I/0 locations and no memory space except
for PCMCIA attribute memory space. The same I/O space is used for both LOCAL BUS and PCMCIA
operations. Its shared memory is sequentially accessed with 40ns access times to any of its registers,
including its packet memory. DMA services are not used by the LAN91C96, virtually de-coupling network
traffic from local or system bus utilization. For packet memory management, the LAN91C96 integrates a
unique hardware Memory Management Unit (MMU) with enhanced performance and decreased software
overhead when compared to ring buffer and linked list architectures. The LAN91C96 is portable to
different CPU and bus platforms due to its flexible bus interface, flat memory structure (no pointers), and
its loosely coupled buffered architecture (not sensitive to latency).
The LAN91C96 is available in 100-pin QFP and TQFP (1.0 mm body thickness) packages. The low profile
TQFP is ideal for mobile applications such as PC Card LAN adapters. The LAN91C96 operates with a
single power supply voltage of 5.0V. Revisions E and later will also operate using a single 3.3V power
supply.

Overview
A unique architecture allows the LAN91C96 to combine high performance, flexibility, high integration and
simple software interface.
The LAN91C96 incorporates the LAN91C92 functionality for LOCAL BUS environments, as well as a
PCMCIA interface and attribute registers like the LAN91C94 It also includes a subset of the Motorola
68000 interface. Mode selection between LOCAL BUS and PCMCIA is static and is done only at the end
of a reset. Selection of 68000 operation mode is performed at power-up.
The LAN91C96 consists of the same logical I/O register structure in LOCAL BUS and PCMCIA modes.
However, some of the signals used to access the PCMCIA differ from the LOCAL BUS mode. The MMU
(Memory Management Unit) architecture used by the LAN91C96 combines the simplicity and low
overhead of fixed areas with the flexibility of linked lists providing improved performance over other
methods.
Packet reception and transmission are determined by memory availability. All other resources are always
available if memory is available. To complement this flexible architecture, bus interface functions are
incorporated in the LAN91C96, as well as a 6144 byte packet RAM - and serial EEPROM-based setup.
The user can select or modify configuration choices. The LAN91C96 integrates most of the 802.3
functionality, incorporating the MAC layer protocol, the physical layer encoding and decoding functions
with the ability to handle the AUI interface. For twisted pair networks, LAN91C96 integrates the twisted pair
transceiver as well as the link integrity test functions.
The LAN91C96 is a true 10BASE-T single chip device able to interface to a system or a local bus.
Support for direct-driven LEDs for installation and run-time diagnostics is provided. 802.3 statistics are
gathered to facilitate network management.
The LAN91C96 is a single chip Ethernet controller designed to be 100% pin and software compatible with the
LAN91C92 and LAN91C94 in LOCAL BUS mode. Similar to the LAN91C94, the LAN91C96 has support
necessary for providing a true single chip single function PCMCIA Ethernet socket adapter. The LAN91C96
incorporates all of the PCMCIA registers and signals that interface to the PCMCIA bus.
The LAN91C96 has been designed to support full duplex switched Ethernet and provides Fully independent
transmit and receive operations.
The LAN91C96 internal packet memory is extended to 6k bytes, and the MMU will continue to manage
memory in 256 byte pages. The increase in memory size accommodates the potential for simultaneous
transmit and receive traffic in some full duplex applications as well as support for enhanced performance on
systems that introduce increased latency.
The LAN91C96 has the ability to retrieve configuration information from a serial EEPROM on reset or powerup. In LOCAL BUS mode, the serial EPROM acts as storage of configuration and IEEE Ethernet address
information compatible with the existing LAN91C90, LAN91C92, and LAN91C94 LOCAL BUS Ethernet
controllers. In PCMCIA mode, the EEPROM function is the same as in LOCAL BUS mode. External Flash
ROM is required for CIS storage.

DESCRIPTION
This pin is sampled at the end of RESET. When this
pin is sampled low the LAN91C96 is configured for
PCMCIA operation and all pin definitions correspond
to the PCMCIA mode. For LOCAL BUS operation this
pin is left open and it is used as a ROM chip select
output that goes active when nMEMR is low and the
address bus contains a valid ROM address. In
LOCAL BUS mode the LAN91C96 is pin compatible
with the LAN91C92 and LAN91C94. To enter the
68000 mode, this pin must be in the LOCAL BUS
mode at power up.

LAN91C96 internal registers. The data bus has weak
internal pullups. Supports direct connection to the
system bus without external buffering. In the case of a
68000 host processor, the upper byte of the data bus
must be connected to the lower byte of the 68000 data
bus and the lower byte of the data bus must be
connected to the upper byte of the 68000 data bus.

Functional Description
Except for the bus interface, the functional behavior of the LAN91C96 after initial configuration is identical
for LOCAL BUS and PCMCIA modes.
The LAN91C96 includes an arbitrated shared memory of 6144 bytes. Any portion of this memory can be
used for receive or transmit packets.
The MMU unit allocates RAM memory to be used for transmit and receive packets, using 256 byte pages.
The arbitration is transparent to the CPU in every sense. There is no speed penalty for LOCAL BUS type
of machines due to arbitration. There are no restrictions on what locations can be accessed at any time.
RAM accesses as well as MMU requests are arbitrated.
The RAM is accessed by mapping it into I/O space for sequential access. Except for the RAM accesses
and the MMU request/release commands, I/O accesses are not arbitrated.
The I/O space is 16 bits wide. Provisions for 8 bit systems are handled by the bus interface.
In the system memory space, up to 64 kbytes are decoded by the LAN91C96 as expansion ROM. The
ROM expansion area is 8 bits wide.
Device configuration is done using a serial EEPROM, with support for modifications to the EEPROM at
installation time. A Flash ROM is supported for PCMCIA attribute memory.
The CSMA/CD core implements the 802.3 MAC layer protocol. It has two independent interfaces, the data
path and the control path.
Both interfaces are 16 bits wide. The control path provides a set of registers used to configure and control
the block. These registers are accessible by the CPU through the LAN91C96 I/O space. The data path is
of sequential access nature and typically works in one direction at any given time. An internal DMA type of
interface connects the data path to the device RAM through the arbiter and MMU.
The CSMA/CD data path interface is not accessible to the host CPU.
The internal DMA interface can arbitrate for RAM access and request memory from the MMU when
necessary.
An encoder/decoder block interfaces the CSMA/CD block on the serial side. The encoder will do the
Manchester encoding of the transmit data at 10 Mb/s, while the decoder will recover the receive clock, and
decode received data.
Carrier and Collision detection signals are also handled by this block and relayed to the CSMA/CD block.
The encoder/decoder block can interface the network through the AUI interface pairs, or it can be
programmed to use the internal 10BASE-T transceiver and connect to a twisted pair network.
The twisted pair interface takes care of the medium dependent signaling for 10BASE-T type of networks.
It is responsible for line interface (with external pulse transformers and pre-distortion resistors), collision
detection as well as the link integrity test function. The LAN91C96 provides a 16-bit data path into RAM.
The RAM is private and can only be accessed by the system via the arbiter. RAM memory is managed by
the MMU. Byte and word accesses to the RAM are supported.
If the system to SRAM bandwidth is insufficient the LAN91C96 will automatically use its IOCHRDY line for
flow control. However, for LOCAL BUS, IOCHRDY will never be negated.

DATASHEET
SMSC LAN91C965v&3v
Non-PCI Single-Chip Full Duplex Ethernet Controller with Magic Packet
The LAN91C96 consists of an integrated Ethernet controller mapped entirely in I/O space. In addition,
PCMCIA attribute memory space is decoded to interface an external CIS ROM, with configuration registers as
per PCMCIA 3.X extensions (except COR) implemented on-chip in attribute space above the ROM decode
area. The PCMCIA Configuration Registers are accessible in I/O space and also to allow non-PCMCIA dual
function designs.
The Ethernet controller function includes a built-in 6kbyte RAM for packet storage. This RAM buffer is
accessed by the CPU through sequential access regions of 256 bytes each. The RAM access is internally
arbitrated by the LAN91C96, and dynamically allocated between transmit and receive packets. Each packet
may consist of one or more 256 byte page. The Ethernet controller functionality is identical to the LAN91C94
and LAN91C95 except where indicated otherwise.
The LAN91C96 Memory Management Unit parameters are:

Buffer Memory
The logical addresses for RAM access are divided into TX area and RX area.
The TX area is seen by the CPU as a window through which packets can be loaded into memory before
queuing them in the TX FIFO of packets. The TX area can also be used to examine the transmit
completion status after packet transmission.
The RX area is associated to the output of the RX FIFO of packets, and is used to access receive packet
data and status information.
The logical address is specified by loading the address pointer register. The pointer can automatically
increment on accesses.
All accesses to the RAM are done via I/O space.
A bit in the address pointer also specifies if the address refers to the TX or RX area.
In the TX area, the host CPU has access to the next transmit packet being prepared for transmission. In
the RX area, it has access to the first receive packet not processed by the CPU yet.
The FIFO of packets, existing beneath the TX and RX areas, is managed by the MMU. The MMU
dynamically allocates and releases memory to be used by the transmit and receive functions.

Interrupt Structure
The Ethernet interrupt is conceptually equivalent to the LAN91C94 interrupt line, it is the or function of all
enabled interrupts within the Ethernet core. The enabling, reporting, and clearing of these sources is
controlled by the ECOR register. The interrupt structure is similar for LOCAL BUS and PCMCIA modes
with the following exceptions:
PCMCIA uses a single interrupt pin (nIREQ) while LOCAL BUS can use any of four INTR0-3 pins.

PCMCIA Attribute Memory
Address 0- 7FFEh
The Attribute Memory is implemented using an external parallel EEPROM, ROM or Flash ROM. A parallel
EEPROM (or equivalent external device) must be used for CIS.
In LOCAL BUS mode, serial EEPROM is used for configuration and IEEE Node address making it software
compatible to the LAN9xxx family of Ethernet LAN Controllers. The EEPROM is optional for both LOCAL BUS
and PCMCIA requiring a Minimum size of 64 X 16 bit word addresses.
The LAN91C96 generates the appropriate control lines (nFCS and nFWE) to read and write the Attribute
memory, and it tri-states the data bus during external Attribute Memory accesses. Only even locations are
used.

PCMCIA Configuration Registers
Address 8000-8003h
The PCMCIA Configuration Registers are stored inside the LAN91C96 above the external Attribute
Memory address space. These registers are used to configure and control the PCMCIA related
functionality of the Ethernet. These registers are eight bit wide and reside on even locations. The
LAN91C96 will ignore odd access to this area and ignore writes. The device will read zero’s on odd
access. This address offset has changed from prior LAN9XXX PCMCIA Family designs to allow a larger
address range for other attribute memory data. This data could be a larger card information structure or a
XIP data image.
Attribute Memory map
The EPROM attribute memory decodes are shown below. Internal to the LAN91C96, the memory
addressing logic will allow byte or word access on even byte boundaries. LAN91C96 uses address A0-9,
A15, along with nREG, nCE1, nWE and nOE. An on odd byte address access (A0=1), the LAN91C96 will
generate a arbitrary value of Zero (0) since the PCMCIA specification states that the high byte of a word
access in attribute memory is a don’t care. This allows backward compatibility to 8 bit hosts.

Frame Format in Buffer Memory for
Ethernet
The frame format in memory is similar to that in the TRANSMIT and RECEIVE areas. The first word is
reserved for the status word, the next word is used to specify the total number of bytes, and that in turn is
followed by the data area. The data area holds the packet itself, and its length is determined by the byte
count. The frame memory format is word oriented.

relevant. The transmit byte count least significant bit will be assumed 0 by the controller regardless of the
value written in memory. The maximum size of the frame can be stored in 6 pages (256 bytes per page),
the maximum BYTE COUNT number is 1536.
DATA AREA (in RAM)
The data area starts at offset 4 of the packet structure, and it can extend for up to 1531 bytes. The data
area contains six bytes of DESTINATION ADDRESS followed by six bytes of SOURCE ADDRESS,
followed by a variable length number of bytes.
On transmit, all bytes are provided by the CPU, including the source address. The LAN91C96 does not
insert its own source address. On receive, all bytes are provided by the CSMA side.
The 802.3 Frame Length word (Frame Type in Ethernet) is not interpreted by the LAN91C96. It is treated
transparently as data for both transmit and receive operations.
CONTROL BYTE (in RAM)
The CONTROL BYTE always resides on the high byte of the last word.
CONTROL BYTE is written by the CPU as:
X
X
ODD
CRC

For transmit packets the
0
ODD - If set, indicates an odd number of bytes, with the last byte being right before the CONTROL BYTE.
If clear, the number of data bytes is even and the byte before the CONTROL BYTE is not transmitted.
CRC - When set, CRC will be appended to the frame. This bit has only meaning if the NOCRC bit in the
TCR is set.
For receive packets the CONTROL BYTE is written by the controller as:

ODDFRM - This bit when set indicates that the received frame had an odd number of bytes.
TOOLNG - The received frame is longer than the 802.3 maximum size (1518 bytes on the cable).
TOOSHORT - The received frame is shorter than the 802.3 minimum size (64 bytes on the cable).
HASH VALUE - Provides the hash value used to index the Multicast Registers. Can be used by receive
routines to speed up the group address search. The hash value consists of the six most significant bits of
the CRC calculated on the Destination Address, and maps into the 64 bit multicast table. Bits 5,4,3 of the
hash value select a byte of the multicast table, while bits 2,1,0 determine the bit within the byte selected.
Examples of the address mapping are shown in the table below:

Registers Map in I/O Space
I/O Space Access
The address is determined by the Ethernet I/O Base Registers. The Ethernet I/O space can be configured
as an 8 or 16 bit I/O space, and is similar to the LAN91C94, LAN91C92, etc. I/O space mapping. To limit
the I/O space requirements to 16 locations, the registers are Split into 4 banks in LOCAL BUS mode and 5
banks in PCMCIA mode. The last word of the I/O area is shared by all banks and can be used to change
the bank in use. Banks 0 through 3 functionally correspond to the LAN91C94 banks, while Bank 4 allows
access to the PCMCIA registers in LOCAL BUS mode.
Registers are described using the following convention:

OFFSET - Defines the address offset within the IOBASE where the register can be accessed at, provided
the bank select has the appropriate value. The offset specifies the address of the even byte (bits 0-7) or
the address of the complete word. The odd byte can be accessed using address (offset + 1).
Some registers (e.g. the Interrupt Ack. or the Interrupt Mask) are functionally described as two eight bit
registers. In such case, the offset of each one is independently specified.
Regardless of the functional description, when the LAN91C96 is in 16 bit mode, all registers can be
accessed as words or bytes.
RST Val - The default bit values upon hard reset are highlighted below each register.

This register is always accessible except in power down mode and is used to select the register bank in
use.
The upper byte always reads as 33h and can be used to help determine the I/O location of the LAN91C96.
The BANK SELECT REGISTER is always accessible regardless of the value of BS0-2.
The LAN91C96 implements only 5 banks in both PCMCIA and LOCAL BUS mode, therefore accesses to
non-existing banks will ignore writes and reads will return 0x33 on byte reads. All 5 banks are accessible
in both LOCAL BUS and PCMCIA mode.

Non-PCI Single-Chip Full Duplex Ethernet Controller with Magic Packet
NOCRC - Does not append CRC to transmitted frames when set, allows software to insert the desired
CRC. Defaults to zero, namely CRC inserted.
FDSE - Full Duplex Switched Ethernet. When set, the LAN91C96 is configured for Full Duplex Switched
Ethernet, it defaults clear to normal CSMA/CD protocol. In FDSE mode the LAN91C96 transmit and
receive processes are fully independent, namely no deferral and no collision detection are implemented.
When FDSE is set, FDUPLX is internally assumed high and MON_CSN is assumed low regardless of their
actual values.
ETEN-TYPE - Early transmit underrun function type. When low, ETEN bit in the PTR register will enable
the Early transmit underrun function as it was implemented in the LAN91C94. I.e. “The Early Transmit
function allows the CPU to enqueue the first transmit packet before it is fully loaded in packet memory.
The loading operation proceeds in parallel with the transmission, and in the case that the transmitter gets
ahead of the CPU, the LAN91C96 will prevent the transmission of erroneous data by forcing an Underrun
condition. Underruns will be triggered by starving the transmit DMA if the LAN91C96 detects that the DMA
TX address exceeds the pointer address.”
With ETEN-TYPE set to one (1), ETEN bit set to one(1) in the pointer register will mean the following:
“For underrun detection purposes the RAM logical address and packet numbers of the packet being
loaded are compared against the logical address and packet numbers of the packet being transmitted. If
the packet numbers match and the logical address of the packet being transmitted exceeds the address
being loaded, the LAN91C96 will prevent the transmission of erroneous data by forcing an Underrun
condition. Underruns will be triggered by starving the transmit DMA if the LAN91C96 detects that the DMA
TX address exceeds the pointer address.”
Note:
The bit may be available for chips with Rev. ID 6 only and may be assigned to a different function in the
future.
EPH_LOOP - Internal loopback at the EPH block. Does not exercise the encoder decoder. Serial data is
looped back when set. Defaults low. Note: After exiting the loopback test, an SRESET in the ECOR or the
SOFT_RST in the RCR must be set before returning to normal operation.
STP_SQET - Stop transmission on SQET error. If set, stops and disables transmitter on SQE test error.
Does not stop on SQET error and transmits next frame if clear. Defaults low.
FDUPLX - When set it enables full duplex operation. This will cause frames to be received if they pass the
address filter regardless of the source for the frame. When clear the node will not receive a frame sourced
by itself. Clearing this bit (Normal Operation), allows in promiscuous mode, not to receive it’s own packet.
TXP_EN - This bit is reserved and should always be set to 0 on the LAN91C96.
MON_CSN - When set the LAN91C96 monitors carrier while transmitting. It must see its own carrier by the
end of the preamble. If it is not seen, or if carrier is lost during transmission, the transmitter aborts the
frame without CRC and turns itself off.
When this bit is clear the transmitter ignores its own carrier. Defaults low.
PAD_EN - When set, the LAN91C96 will pad transmit frames shorter than 64 bytes with 00. For TX, CPU
should write the actual BYTE COUNT before padded by the LAN91C96 to the buffer RAM, excludes the
padded 00. When this bit is cleared, the LAN91C96 does not pad frames.
FORCOL - When set the transmitter will force a collision by not deferring deliberately. After the collision
this bit is reset automatically. This bit defaults low to normal operation.
LOOP - Local Loopback. When set, transmit frames are internally looped to the receiver after the
encoder/decoder. Collision and Carrier Sense are ignored. No data is sent out. Defaults low to normal
mode.

TXENA - Transmit enabled when set. Transmit is disabled if clear. When the bit is cleared the LAN91C96
will complete the current transmission before stopping. When stopping due to an error, this bit is
automatically cleared.

TXUNRN - Transmit Under run. Set if Under run occurs, it also clears TXENA bit in TCR. Cleared by
setting TXENA high. This bit should never be set under normal operation.
LINK_OK - State of the 10BASE-T Link Integrity Test. A transition on the value of this bit generates an
interrupt when the LE ENABLE bit in the Control Register is set.
RES – This bit is reserved and will always return a zero(0).
CTR_ROL - Counter Roll over. When set one or more 4 bit counters have reached maximum count (15).
Cleared by reading the ECR register.
EXC_DEF - Excessive deferral. When set last/current transmit was deferred for more than 1518 * 2 byte
times. Cleared at the end of every packet sent.

LOST_CARR - Lost carrier sense. When set indicates that Carrier Sense was not present at end of
preamble. Valid only if MON_CSN is enabled. This condition causes TXENA bit in TCR to be reset.
Cleared by setting TXENA bit in TCR.
LATCOL - Late collision detected on last transmit frame. If set a late collision was detected (later than 64
byte times into the frame). When detected the transmitter JAMs and turns itself off clearing the TXENA bit
in TCR. Cleared by setting TXENA in TCR.
WAKEUP - When this bit is set, it indicates that a receive packet was received that had the “Magic” packet
(MP) signature of the node’s own Individual address repetitions in it. This bit indicates a valid detection for
magic packet.
TX_DEFR - Transmit Deferred. When set, carrier was detected during the first 6.4 uSec of the inter frame
gap. Cleared at the end of every packet sent.
LTX_BRD - Last transmit frame was a broadcast. Set if frame was broadcast. Cleared at the start of every
transmit frame.
SQET - Signal Quality Error Test. The transmitter opens a 1.6 us window 0.8 us after transmission is
completed and the receiver returns inactive. During this window, the transmitter expects to see the SQET
signal from the transceiver. The absence of this signal is a 'Signal Quality Error' and is reported in this
status bit. Transmission stops and EPH INT is set if STP_SQET is in the TCR is also set when SQET is
set. This bit is cleared by setting TXENA high.
16COL - 16 collisions reached. Set when 16 collisions are detected for a transmit frame. TXENA bit in TCR
is reset. Cleared when TXENA is set high.
LTX_MULT - Last transmit frame was a multicast. Set if frame was a multicast. Cleared at the start of
every transmit frame.
MULCOL - Multiple collision detected for the last transmit frame. Set when more than one collision was
experienced. Cleared when TX_SUC is high at the end of the packet being sent.
SNGLCOL - Single collision detected for the last transmit frame. Set when a collision is detected. Cleared
when TX_SUC is high at the end of the packet being sent.
TX_SUC - Last transmit was successful. Set if transmit completes without a fatal error. This bit is cleared
by the start of a new frame transmission or when TXENA is set high.
Fatal errors are:
ƒ
16 collisions
ƒ
SQET fail and STP_SQET = 1
ƒ
FIFO Underrun
ƒ
Carrier lost and MON_CSN = 1

Each four bit counter is incremented every time the corresponding event, as defined in the EPH STATUS

packet, never faster, limiting the rate of interrupts that can be generated by the counters. For example if a
packet is successfully transmitted after one collision the SINGLE COLLISION COUNT field is incremented
by one. If a packet experiences between 2 to 16 collisions, the MULTIPLE COLLISION COUNT field is
incremented by one.
If a packet experiences deferral the NUMBER OF DEFERRED TX field is incremented by one, even if the
packet experienced multiple deferrals during its collision retries.

MEMORY RESERVED FOR TRANSMIT Programming this value allows the host CPU to reserve memory to be used later for transmit, limiting the
amount of memory that receive packets can use up. When programmed for zero, the memory allocation
between transmit and receive is completely dynamic. When programmed for a non-zero value, the
allocation is dynamic if the free memory exceeds the programmed value, while receive allocation requests
are denied if the free memory is less or equal to the programmed value. This register defaults to zero
upon reset. It is not affected by the RESET MMU command.

A15 - A13 and A9 - A5 - These bits are compared in LOCAL BUS mode against the I/O address on the
bus to determine the IOBASE for LAN91C96 registers. The 64k I/O space is fully decoded by the
LAN91C96 down to a 16 location space, therefore the unspecified address lines A4, A10, A11 and A12
must be all zeros.
ROM SIZE - Determines the ROM decode area in LOCAL BUS mode memory space as follows:
00 = ROM disable
01 = 16k: RA14-18 define ROM select.
10 = 32k: RA15-18 define ROM select.
11 = 64k: RA16-18 define ROM select.
RA18-RA14 - These bits are compared in LOCAL BUS mode against the memory address on the bus to
determine if the ROM is being accessed, as a function of the ROM SIZE. ROM accesses are read only
memory accesses defined by MEMRD* going low.
For a full decode of the address space unspecified upper address lines have to be: A19 = "1", A20-A23
lines are not directly decoded, however LOCAL BUS systems will only activate SMEMRD* only when A20A23=0.
All bits in this register are loaded from the serial EEPROM in LOCAL BUS Mode only. In PCMCIA mode,
the I/O base is set to the default value (as in LOCAL BUS mode) as defined below.

This register can be used as a way of storing and retrieving non-volatile information in the EEPROM to be
used by the software driver. The storage is word oriented, and the EEPROM word address to be read or
written is specified using the six lowest bits of the Pointer Register.
This register can also be used to sequentially program the Individual Address area of the EEPROM, that is
normally protected from accidental Store operations.
This register will be used for EEPROM read and write only when the EEPROM SELECT bit in the Control
Register is set. This allows generic EEPROM read and write routines that do not affect the basic setup of
the LAN91C96.

RCV_BAD - When set, bad CRC packets are received. When clear bad CRC packets do not generate
interrupts and their memory is released.
PWRDN - Active high bit used to put the Ethernet function in power down mode.
Cleared by:
1.
A write to any register in the LAN91C96 I/O space.
2.
Hardware reset. This bit is combined with the Pwrdwn bit in ECSR and with the powerdown bit to
determine when the function is powered down.
WAKUP_EN - Active high bit used to enable the controller in the appropriate power down modes to power
up and set the WAKEUP bit in the EPHSR -> generate an EPH interrupt(if not masked). When clear (0),
no “Magic Packet” scanning is done on receive packets.
Note:
Setting (1) the bit is meaningful only if the function is enabled (Enable Function bit in COR; offset 8000h)

AUTO RELEASE - When set, transmit pages are released by transmit completion if the transmission was
successful (when TX_SUC is set). In that case there is no status word associated with its packet number,
and successful packet numbers are not even written into the TX COMPLETION FIFO.
A sequence of transmit packets will only generate an interrupt when the sequence is completely
transmitted (TX EMPTY INT will be set), or when a packet in the sequence experiences a fatal error (TX
INT will be set). Upon a fatal error TXENA is cleared and the transmission sequence stops. The packet
number that failed is the present in the FIFO PORTS register, and its pages are not released, allowing the
CPU to restart the sequence after corrective action is taken.
LE ENABLE - Link Error Enable. When set it enables the LINK_OK bit transition as one of the interrupts
merged into the EPH INT bit. Defaults low (disabled). Writing this bit also serves as the acknowledge by
clearing previous LINK interrupt conditions.
CR ENABLE - Counter Roll over Enable. When set it enables the CTR_ROL bit as one of the interrupts
merged into the EPH INT bit. Defaults low (disabled).
TE ENABLE - Transmit Error Enable. When set it enables Transmit Error as one of the interrupts merged
into the EPH INT bit. Defaults low (disabled). Transmit Error is any condition that clears TXENA with
TX_SUC staying low as described in the EPHSR register.
EEPROM SELECT - This bit allows the CPU to specify which registers the EEPROM RELOAD or STORE
refers to.
When high, the General Purpose Register is the only register read or written. When low, the RELOAD and
STORE functions are enabled.
RELOAD
The LAN91C96 reads the Configuration, Base and Individual Address, and STORE writes the
Configuration and Base registers.
Also when set it will read the EEPROM and update relevant registers with its contents. This bit then Clears
upon completing the operation.
STORE
The STORE LAN91C96 bit when set, stores the contents of all relevant registers in the serial EEPROM.
This bit is cleared upon completing the operation.
Note:
When an EEPROM access is in progress the STORE and RELOAD bits will be read back as high. The
remaining 14 bits of this register will be invalid. During this time, attempted read/write operations, other
than polling the EEPROM status, will NOT have any effect on the internal registers. The CPU can resume
accesses to the LAN91C96 after both bits are low. A worst case RELOAD operation initiated by RESET or
by software takes less than 750usec in either mode.

requested as (value + 1) 256* bytes. Namely N2, N1, N0 = 1 will request 2
256* = 512 bytes. Valid range for N2, N1, N0 is 0 through 5. A shift-based divide
by 256 of the packet length yields the appropriate value to be used as N2, N1
and N0. Immediately generates a completion code at the ALLOCATION RESULT
REGISTER. Can optionally generate an interrupt on successful completion. The
allocation time can take worst case (N2, N1, N0 + 2)* 200ns.

RESET MMU TO INITIAL STATE - Frees all memory allocations, clears relevant
interrupts, resets packet FIFO pointers.

6)
REMOVE FRAME FROM TOP OF RX FIFO- To be issued after CPU has
completed processing of present receive frame. This command removes the
receive packet number from the RX FIFO and brings the next receive frame (if
any) to the RX area (output of RX FIFO).

7)
REMOVE FRAME FROM TOP OF TX FIFO- To be issued ONLY after the Host
disabled the transmitter and has completed processing of the present transmit
frame. Note: Determining Transmit completion is done by polling the TEMPTY bit
in the Transmit FIFO Port Register. This command removes the Transmit packet
number from the TX FIFO and brings the next Transmit frame (if any) to the TX
area (output of TX FIFO).
8)
REMOVE AND RELEASE TOP OF RX FIFO - Like 6) but also releases all
memory used by the packet presently at the RX FIFO output.

specified in the PACKET NUMBER REGISTER. Should not be used for frames
pending transmission. Typically used to remove transmitted frames, after reading

RESET TX FIFOs - This command will reset both TX FIFOs. The TX FIFO
holding the packet numbers awaiting transmission and the TX Completion FIFO.
This command provides a mechanism for canceling packet transmissions, and
reordering or bypassing the transmit queue.
The RESET TX FIFOs command should only be used when the transmitter is disabled. Unlike the RESET
MMU command, the RESET TX FIFOs does not release any memory.
Notes:
ƒ
Only command 2 uses N2, N1 and N0.
ƒ
When using the RESET TX FIFOS command, the CPU is responsible for releasing the memory associated with
outstanding packets, or re-enqueuing them. Packet numbers in the completion FIFO can be read via the FIFO
ports register before issuing the command.
ƒ
MMU commands releasing memory (commands 8 and A) should only be issued if the corresponding packet
number has memory allocated to it.
COMMAND SEQUENCING
A second allocate command (command 2) should not be issued until the present one has completed.
Completion is determined by reading the FAILED bit of the allocation result register or through the
allocation interrupt. A second release command (commands 8 and A) should not be issued if the previous
one is still being processed. The BUSY bit indicates that a release command is in progress. After issuing
command A, the contents of the PNR should not be changed until BUSY goes low. After issuing command
8, command 6 should not be issued until BUSY goes low. BUSY BIT - Readable at bit “0” of the MMU
command register address. When set indicates that MMU is still processing a release command. When
clear, MMU has already completed last release command. BUSY and FAILED bits are set upon the
trailing edge of command.

AUTO TX START REGISTER - This register specifies the value, in 16 byte multiples of when the transmit
state machine starts a transmit operation when the associated transmit buffer is enqueued into the
transmit FIFO.
The AutoTx bit as well as the ETEN bit must both be set in the pointer register in order for this register to
be utilized. Note: This register must be non-zero for the Auto-Tx function to work. A value of ”0” will disable
this function. The RCV bit in the Pointer register must be zero (0) as well. The RCV bit must be cleared so
that the packet being written and enqueued is being selected by the PNR and not the receive FIFO.
Register Operation: When Early Transmit is enabled via the ETEN bit in the pointer register, the host is
able to enqueue a buffer for transmit operation before all of the transmitted data is copied into the
LAN91C96 dual ported RAM. In the case of the AutoTx bit being cleared, the host must manually start the
transmit operation. When the AutoTx bit is set, the EPH Transmit engine compares the number of bytes
moved into the transmit packet buffer with the value of the Auto TX Start Register to start transmit
operation. This eliminates the requirement for the host to manually start the transmit.

POINTER REGISTER - The value of this register determines the address to be accessed within the
transmit or receive areas. It will auto-increment on accesses to the data register when AUTO INCR. is set.
The increment is by one for every byte access, and by two for every word access. When RCV is set the
address refers to the receive area and uses the output of RX FIFO as the packet number, when RCV is
clear the address refers to the transmit area and uses the packet number at the Packet Number Register.
READ bit - Determines the type of access to follow. If the READ bit is high the operation intended is a
read. If the READ bit is low the operation is a write. Loading a new pointer value, with the READ bit high,
generates a pre-fetch into the Data Register for read purposes.
Read-back of the pointer will indicate the value of the address last accessed by the CPU (rather than the
last pre-fetched). This allows any interrupt routine that uses the pointer, to save it and restore it without
affecting the process being interrupted.
The Pointer Register should not be loaded until 400ns after the last write operation to the Data Register to
ensure that the Data Register FIFO is empty. On reads, if IOCHRDY is not connected to the host, the Data
Register should not be read before 400ns after the pointer was loaded to allow the Data Register FIFO to
fill.
If the pointer is loaded using 8 bit writes, the low byte should be loaded first and the high byte last.
ETEN bit - When set enables EARLY Transmit underrun detection. Normal operation when clear.
If TCR bit 14 (ETEN-TYPE) is zero and this bit is set, the Early transmit underrun function will be enabled
as it was implemented in the LAN91C94:
"The Early Transmit function allows the CPU to enqueue the first transmit packet before it is fully loaded in
packet memory. The loading operation proceeds in parallel with the transmission, and in the case that the
transmitter gets ahead of the CPU, the LAN91C94 will prevent the transmission of erroneous data by
forcing an Underrun condition. Underruns will be triggered by starving the transmit DMA if the LAN91C96
detects that the DMA TX address exceeds the pointer address.”
If TCR bit 14 (ETEN-TYPE) is zero and this bit is set, the Early transmit underrun function defined as
follows:
Rev. 03-28-07
Page 56
DATASHEET
SMSC LAN91C965v&3v
Non-PCI Single-Chip Full Duplex Ethernet Controller with Magic Packet
“For underrun detection purposes the RAM logical address and packet numbers of the packet being
loaded are compared against the logical address and packet numbers of the packet being transmitted. If
the packet numbers match and the logical address of the packet being transmitted exceeds the address
being loaded the LAN91C96 will prevent the transmission of erroneous data by forcing an Underrun
condition. Underruns will be triggered by starving the transmit DMA if the LAN91C96 detects that the DMA
TX address exceeds the pointer address.”
Note:
ETEN-TYPE (bit 14) in TCR may be implemented for Rev. ID 6 only. In the absence of ETEN-TYPE in
TCR, ETEN will have the definition as ETEN-TYPE were clear only.
AutoTx bit - When set, enables the transmit state machine to Automatically start a transmit operation with
no host intervention determined by the number of bytes being copied into the transmit buffer enqueued in
the transmit FIFO. The ETEN bit must also be set in order for this function to be enabled and the RCV bit
must be cleared (0). When the Auto TX bit is cleared, the transmit state machine must manually be
enabled to enqueue a transmit buffer.
If AUTO INCR. is not set, the pointer must be loaded with an even value.

DATA REGISTER - Used to read or write the data buffer byte/word presently addressed by the pointer
register.
This register is mapped into two uni-directional FIFOs that allow moving words to and from the LAN91C96
regardless of whether the pointer address is even or odd. Data goes through the write FIFO into memory,
and is pre-fetched from memory into the read FIFO. If byte accesses are used, the appropriate (next) byte
can be accessed through the Data Low or Data High registers. The order to and from the FIFO is
preserved. Byte and word accesses can be mixed on the fly in any order.
This register is mapped into two consecutive word locations to facilitate the usage of double word move
instructions. The DATA register is accessible at any address in the 8 through Ah range, while the number
of bytes being transferred are determined by A0 and nSBHE in LOCAL BUS mode, and by A0, nCE1 and
nCE2 in PCMCIA mode.

This register can be read and written as a word or as two individual bytes.
The Interrupt Mask Register bits enable the appropriate bits when high and disable them when low. A
MASK bit being set will cause a hardware interrupt.
TX IDLE INT - Transmit Idle interrupt. Set when the transmit state machine is not active. This bit is used
under the condition where the TX FIFO is still NOT empty, the transmitter is disabled and the host wants to
determine when the transmitter is completed with the current transmit packet. This event usually happens
when the host wants to insert at the head of the transmit queue a frame for example.
Typical flow of events/Condition:
1.
The transmit FIFO is not empty
2.
The transmit DONE FIFO is either empty or not empty
3.
The transmit engine is either active or not active
Flow of events for an insertion of a transmit packet:
1.
Disable the Transmitter
2.
Remove and release any “transmit done” packets in the TX FIFO
3.
Via polling or an interrupt driven event, determine status of TX IDLE INT bit and wait until this bit is
set. This will determine when the transmitter is truly done with all transmit events.
4.
Remove and store (if any, in software) Packet numbers from the transmit FIFO. (These packets will
later be restored into the TX FIFO after the control frame is inserted into the front of the TX FIFO).
5.

ERCV INT - Early receive interrupt. Set whenever a receive packet is being received, and the number of bytes
received into memory exceeds the value programmed as ERCV THRESHOLD (Bank 3, Offset Ch). ERCV INT
stays set until acknowledged by writing the INTERRUPT ACKNOWLEDGE REGISTER with the ERCV INT bit
set.
EPH INT - Set when the Ethernet Protocol Handler section indicates one out of various possible special
conditions. This bit merges exception type of interrupt sources, whose service time is not critical to the
execution speed of the low level drivers. The exact nature of the interrupt can be obtained from the EPH Status
Register (EPHSR), and enabling of these sources can be done via the Control Register. The possible sources
are:
1.
LINK - Link Test transition
2.
CTR_ROL - Statistics counter roll over
3.
TXENA cleared - A fatal transmit error occurred forcing TXENA to be cleared. TX_SUC will be low
and the specific reason will be reflected by the bits:
3.1
TXUNRN - Transmit under-run
3.2
SQET - SQE Error
3.3
LOST CARR - Lost Carrier
3.4
LATCOL - Late Collision
3.5
16COL - 16 collisions
Any of the above interrupt sources can be masked by the appropriate ENABLE bits in the Control Register.
1) LE ENABLE (Link Error Enable), 2) CR ENABLE (Counter Roll Over), 3) TE ENABLE (Transmit Error
Enable)
EPH INT will only be cleared by the following methods:
1.
Clearing the LE ENABLE bit in the Control Register if an EPH interrupt is caused by a LINK_OK
transition.
2.
Reading the Counter Register if an EPH interrupt is caused by statistics counter roll over.
3.
Setting TXENA bit high if an EPH interrupt is caused by any of the fatal transmit error listed above (3.1
to 3.5).
RX_OVRN INT - Set when 1) the receiver aborts due to an overrun due to a failed memory allocation, 2)
the receiver aborts due to a packet length of greater than 2K bytes, or 3) the receiver aborts due to the
RCV DISCRD bit in the ERCV register set. The RX_OVRN INT bit latches the condition for the purpose of
being polled or generating an interrupt, and will only be cleared by writing the acknowledge register with
the RX_OVRN INT bit set.
ALLOC INT - Set when an MMU request for TX ram pages is successful. This bit is the complement of the
FAILED bit in the ALLOCATION RESULT register. The ALLOC INT bit is cleared by the MMU when the
next allocation request is processed or allocation fails.
TX EMPTY INT - Set if the TX FIFO goes empty, can be used to generate a single interrupt at the end of a
sequence of packets enqueued for transmission. This bit latches the empty condition, and the bit will stay
set until it is specifically cleared by writing the acknowledge register with the TX EMPTY INT bit set. If a
real time reading of the FIFO empty is desired, the bit should be first cleared and then read.
The TX_EMPTY MASK bit should only be set after the following steps:
a)
A packet is enqueued for transmission
SMSC LAN91C965v&3v
Page 59
DATASHEET
Rev. 03-28-07
Non-PCI Single-Chip Full Duplex Ethernet Controller with Magic Packet
b)
The previous empty condition is cleared (acknowledged)
TX INT - Set when at least one packet transmission was completed or any of the below transmit fatal
errors occurs:
1.
TXUNRN - Transmit under-run
2.
SQET - SQE Error
3.
LOST CARR - Lost Carrier
4.
LATCOL - Late Collision
5.
16COL - 16 collisions
The first packet number to be serviced can be read from the FIFO PORTS register. The TX INT bit is
always the logic complement of the TEMPTY bit in the FIFO PORTS register. After servicing a packet
number, its TX INT interrupt is removed by writing the Interrupt Acknowledge Register with the TX INT bit
set.
RCV INT - Set when a receive interrupt is generated. The first packet number to be serviced can be read
from the FIFO PORTS register. The RCV INT bit is always the logic complement of the REMPTY bit in the
FIFO PORTS register.
Receive Interrupt is cleared when RX FIFO is empty.
Notes:
ƒ
For edge triggered systems, the Interrupt Service Routine should clear the Interrupt Mask Register, and only
enable the appropriate interrupts after the interrupt source is serviced (acknowledged).

The 64 bit multicast table is used for group address filtering. The hash value is defined as the six most
significant bits of the CRC of the destination addresses. The three msb's determine the register to be used
(MT0-7), while the other three determine the bit within the register. If the appropriate bit in the table is set,
the packet is received.
If the ALMUL bit in the RCR register is set, all multicast addresses are received regardless of the multicast
table values. Hashing is for a partial group address filtering scheme. Additional filtering is done in
software. But the hash value being a part of the receive status word, the receive routine can reduce the
search time significantly. With the proper memory structure, the search is limited to comparing only the
multicast addresses that have the actual hash value in question.

ERCV THRESHOLD - Threshold for ERCV interrupt. Specified in 64 byte multiples. Whenever the number
of bytes written in memory for the presently received packet exceeds the ERCV THRESHOLD, ERCV INT
bit of the INTERRUPT STATUS REGISTER is set.
Rcv Counter - This 8 bit value is the “Real Time” count, in bytes, of the current Receive packet (this
includes the 4 bytes of status and packet length). The count is rounded to the nearest Nibble (16 bytes).
The Counter is multiplied by 16 decimals to obtain the number of bytes currently received.
Note:
The value of the RCV Counter is in real time asynchronous format (i.e. The value is constantly changing).
It is recommended that the register be read multiple times to get an accurate reading. Note: The Rcv
Counter register will return a value of “0” when no receive event is occurring.

Chapter 8
Theory of Operation
The concept of presenting the shared RAM as a FIFO of packets, with a memory management unit
allocating memory on a per packet basis responds to the following needs:
Memory allocation for receive vs. transmit - A fixed partition between receive and transmit area would not
be efficient. Being able to dynamically allocate it to transmit and receive represents almost the equivalent
of duplicating the memory size for some workstation type of drivers.
Software overhead - By presenting a FIFO of packets, the software driver does not have to waste any time
in calculating pointers for the different buffers that make up different packets. The driver usually deals with
one packet at a time. With this approach, packets are accessible always at the same fixed address, and
access is provided to any byte of the packet.
Headers can be analyzed without reading out the entire packet. The packet can be moved in or out with a
block move operation.
Multiple upper layer support - The LAN91C96 facilitates interfacing to multiple upper layer protocols
because of the receive packet processing flexibility. A receive lookahead scheme like ODI or NDIS drivers
is supported by copying a small part of the received packet and letting the upper layer provide a pointer for
the rest of the data. If the upper layer indicates it does not want the packet, it can be removed upon a
single command. If the upper layer wants a specific part of the packet, a block move operation starting at
any particular offset can be done. Out of order receive processing is also supported: if memory for one
packet is not yet available, receive packet processing can continue.
Efficiency - Lacking any level of indirection or linked lists of pointers, virtually all the memory is used for
data. There are no descriptors, forward links and pointers at all. This simplicity and memory efficiency is
accomplished without giving up the benefits of linked lists which is unlimited back-to-back transmission
and reception without CPU intervention for as long as memory is available.
FULL DUPLEX SUPPORT
Full Duplex Ethernet operation refers to the ability of the network (or parts of it) to simultaneously transmit
and receive packets. The CSMA/CD protocol used by Ethernet for accessing a shared medium is
inherently half duplex , and so is the 10BASE-T physical layer where simultaneous transmit and receive
activity is interpreted as a collision.
The LAN91C96 supports two types of Full Duplex operation:
Note:
1.
Full Duplex mode for diagnostic purposes only, where the received packet is the transmit packet being
looped back. This mode is enabled using the FDUPLX bit in the TCR. In this mode the CSMA/CD
algorithm is used to gain access to the media.
2.
FDSE (Full Duplex Switched Ethernet). Enabled by FDSE bit in TCR bit. When the LAN91C96 is
configured for FDSE, its transmit and receive paths will operate independently with Carrier Sense
CSMA/CD function disabled.
In FDSE mode the packets are not looped back internally.
The loopback (Full Duplex for
Diagnostics(FDUPLX)) function of 10BASE-T transceivers is permanently engaged. It presents the
transmit pair waveform to the receive circuit internally. This function allows the receiver to see the
controller’s own transmission, not only to permit diagnostics, but also to ensure sure that the node defers
to its own transmission - as specified in 802.3.
Behavior in FDSE mode
A) No deferral - The transmit channel is dedicated and always available - The device transmits whenever
it has a packet ready to be sent, while respecting the interframe spacing between transmit packets.

Rev. 03-28-07
Non-PCI Single-Chip Full Duplex Ethernet Controller with Magic Packet
B) No collision detection - There are no collisions in a switched full duplex environment.
MAGIC PACKET SUPPORT
If the WAKEUP_EN bit in the Control Register (Bank1, Offset C) is set, the controller will generate the
interrupt If this bit is not set, this functionality is disabled. Setting (1) the bit is meaningful only if the
function is enabled.
For Local Bus mode, when WAKEUP_EN bit in Control Register (Bank1, Offset C) is set, the controller is
set ready for scanning of Magic Packet, the device will not drop into lower power state.
When a magic packet is received, the Ethernet controller will generate an interrupt causing the host to
initiate a service routine to find the source of the event. The Interrupt bit in the ECSR is also set if the host
plans on polling the controller for Wakeup status.

ENABLE RECEPTION - By setting the RXEN bit.
A packet is received with matching address.
Memory is requested from MMU. A packet
number is assigned to it. Additional memory is
requested if more pages are needed.
The internal DMA logic generates sequential
addresses and writes the receive words into
memory. The MMU does the sequential to
physical address translation. If overrun, packet
is dropped and memory is released.
When the end of packet is detected, the status
word is placed at the beginning of the receive
packet in memory. Byte count is placed at the
second word. If the CRC checks correctly the
packet number is written into the RX FIFO. The
RX FIFO being not empty causes RCV INT
(interrupt) to be set. If CRC is incorrect the
packet memory is released and no interrupt will
occur.

it out to system memory if desired. When
processing is complete the CPU issues the

MEMORY PARTITIONING
Unlike other controllers, the LAN91C96 does not require a fixed memory partitioning between transmit and
receive resources. The MMU allocates and de-allocates memory upon different events. An additional
mechanism allows the CPU to prevent the receive process from starving the transmit memory allocation.
Memory is always requested by the side that needs to write into it, that is: The CPU for transmit or the
CSMA/CD for receive. The CPU can control the number of bytes it requests for transmit but it cannot
determine the number of bytes the receive process is going to demand. Furthermore, the receive process
requests will be dependent on network traffic, in particular on the arrival of broadcast and multicast
packets that might not be for the node, and that are not subject to upper layer software flow control.
In order to prevent unwanted traffic from using too much memory, the CPU can program a "memory
reserved for transmit" parameter. If the free memory falls below the "memory reserved for transmit" value,
MMU requests from the CSMA/CD block will fail and the packets will overrun and be ignored. Whenever
enough memory is released, packets can be received again. If the reserved value is too large, the node
might lose data which is an abnormal condition. If the value is kept at zero, memory allocation is handled
on first-come first-served basis for the entire memory capacity.
Note that with the memory management built into the LAN91C96, the CPU can dynamically program this
parameter. For instance, when the driver does not need to enqueue transmissions, it can allow more
memory to be allocated for receive (by reducing the value of the reserved memory). Whenever the driver
needs to burst transmissions it can reduce the receive memory allocation. The driver program the
parameter as a function of the following variables:
1.
Free memory (read only register)
2.
Memory size (read only register)
The reserved memory value can be changed on the fly. If the MEMORY RESERVED FOR TX value is
increased above the FREE MEMORY, receive packets in progress are still received, but no new packets
are accepted until the FREE MEMORY increases above the MEMORY RESERVED value.
INTERRUPT GENERATION
The interrupt strategy for the transmit and receive processes is such that it does not represent the
bottleneck in the transmit and receive queue management between the software driver and the controller.
For that purpose there is no register reading necessary before the next element in the queue (namely
transmit or receive packet) can be handled by the controller. The transmit and receive results are placed
in memory.
The receive interrupt will be generated when the receive queue (FIFO of packets) is not empty and receive
interrupts are enabled. This allows the interrupt service routine to process many receive packets without
exiting, or one at a time if the ISR just returns after processing and removing one.
There are two types of transmit interrupt strategies:
1.
One interrupt per packet.
2.
One interrupt per sequence of packets.
The strategy is determined by how the transmit interrupt bits and the AUTO RELEASE bit are used.
TX INT bit - Set whenever the TX completion FIFO is not empty.
TX EMPTY INT bit - Set whenever the TX FIFO is empty.
AUTO RELEASE - When set, successful transmit packets are not written into completion FIFO, and their
memory is released automatically.
SMSC DS – LAN91C965v&3v
Page 75
DATASHEET
Rev. 03-28-07
Non-PCI Single-Chip Full Duplex Ethernet Controller with Magic Packet
1.
One interrupt per packet: enable TX INT, set AUTO RELEASE=0. The software driver can find the
completion result in memory and process the interrupt one packet at a time. Depending on the
completion code the driver will take different actions. Note that the transmit process is working in
parallel and other transmissions might be taking place. The LAN91C96 is virtually queuing the packet
numbers and their status words.
In this case, the transmit interrupt service routine can find the next packet number to be serviced by
reading the TX FIFO PACKET NUMBER at the FIFO PORTS register. This eliminates the need for
the driver to keep a list of packet numbers being transmitted. The numbers are queued by the
LAN91C96 and provided back to the CPU as their transmission completes.
2.
One interrupt per sequence of packets: Enable TX EMPTY INT and TX INT, set AUTO RELEASE=1.
TX EMPTY INT is generated only after transmitting the last packet in the FIFO. TX INT will be set on
a fatal transmit error allowing the CPU to know that the transmit process has stopped and therefore
the FIFO will not be emptied.
This mode has the advantage of a smaller CPU overhead, and faster memory de-allocation. Note that
when AUTO RELEASE=1 the CPU is not provided with the packet numbers that completed
successfully.
Note:
The pointer register is shared by any process accessing the LAN91C96 memory. In order to allow
processes to be interruptible, the interrupting process is responsible for reading the pointer value before
modifying it, saving it, and restoring it before returning from the interrupt.
Typically there would be three processes using the pointer:
1)
Transmit loading (sometimes interrupt driven)
2)
Receive unloading (interrupt driven)
3)
Transmit Status reading (interrupt driven).
1) and 3) also share the usage of the Packet Number Register. Therefore saving and restoring the PNR is
also required from interrupt service routines.
POWER DOWN
The LAN91C96 can enter power down mode by means of the PWRDWN pin (pin 68) or the PWRDN bit
(Control Register, bit 13). When in power down mode, the LAN91C96 will:
ƒ
Stop the crystal oscillator
ƒ
Tristate: Data Bus
−
Interrupts(only by PWRDN bit)
−
nIOCS16
−
10BASE-T and AUI outputs
−
Turn off analog bias currents
ƒ
Drive the EEPROM and ROM outputs inactive
ƒ
Preserve contents of registers and memory
The PWRDWN pin is internally gated with the RESET (RESET pin before de-glitching) and with the
SRESET bit (COR bit 7). This gating function internally negates power down whenever RESET is high or
SRESET is high to allow the oscillator to run during RESET. Except for this gating function, all other uses
of the RESET pin use a de-glitched version of the signal as defined in the pin description section.

9.1
Functional Description of the Blocks
Memory Management Unit
The MMU interfaces the on-chip RAM on one side and the arbiter on the other for address and data flow
purposes. For allocation and de-allocation, it interfaces the arbiter only.
The MMU deals with a single ported memory and is not aware of the fact that there are two entities
requesting allocation and actually accessing memory. The mapping function done by the MMU is only a
function of the packet number accessed and of the offset within that packet being accessed. It is not a
function of who is requesting the access or the direction of the access.
To accomplish that, memory accesses as well as MMU allocation and de-allocation requests are arbitrated
by the arbiter block before reaching the MMU.
Memory allocation could take some time, but the ALLOC INT bit in Interrupt Status Register is negated
immediately upon allocation request, allowing the system to poll that register at any time. Memory deallocation command completion indication is provided via the BUSY bit, readable through the MMU
command register.
The mapping and queuing functions of the MMU rely on the uniqueness of the packet number assigned to
the requester. For that purpose the packet number assignment is centralized at the MMU, and a number
will not be reused until the memory associated with it is released. It is clear that a packet number should
not be released while the number is in the TX or RX packet queue.
The TX and RCV FIFOs are deep enough to handle the total number of packets the MMU can allocate,
therefore there is no need for the programmer or the hardware to check FIFO full conditions.
9.2
Arbiter
The function of the arbiter is to sequence packet RAM accesses as well as MMU requests in such a way
that the on-chip single ported RAM and a single MMU can be shared by two parties. One party is the host
CPU and the other party is the CSMA/CD block.
The arbiter is address transparent, namely, any address can be accessed at any time. In order to exploit
the sequential nature of the access, and minimize the access time on the system side, the CPU cycle is
buffered by the Data Register rather than go directly to and from memory. Whenever a write cycle is
performed, the data is written into the Data Register and will be written into memory as a result of that
operation, allowing the CPU cycle to complete before the arbitration and memory cycle are complete.
Whenever a read cycle is performed, the data is provided immediately from the Data Register, without
having to arbitrate and complete a memory cycle. The present cycle results in an arbitration request for
the next data location. Loading the pointer causes a similar pre-fetch request.
This type of read-ahead and write-behind arbitration allows the controller to have a very fast access time,
and would work without wait states for as long as the cycle time specification is satisfied. The values are
40 ns access time, and 185ns cycle time.
By the same token, CSMA/CD cycles might be postponed. The worst case CSMA/CD latency for arbiter
service is one memory cycle. The arbiter uses the pointer register as the CPU provided address, and the
internal DMA address from the CSMA/CD side as the addresses to be provided to the MMU.

The data path routed by the arbiter goes between memory (the data path does not go through the MMU)
on one side and either the CPU side bus or the data path of the CSMA/CD core.
The data path between memory and the Data Register is in fact buffered by a small FIFO in each direction.
The FIFOs beneath the Data Register can be read and written as bytes or words, in any sequential
combination. The presence of these FIFOs makes sure that word transfers are possible on the system bus
even if the address loaded into the pointer is odd.
9.3
Bus Interface
The bus interface handles the data, address and control interfaces and is compliant with the LOCAL BUS,
PCMCIA, and 68000-interface specifications and allows 8 or 16 bit adapters to be designed with the
LAN91C96 with no glue to interface the LOCAL BUS or PCMCIA bus.
The functions in this block include address decoding for I/O and ROM memory (including address
relocation support) for LOCAL BUS, data path routing, sequential memory address support, optional wait
state generation, boot ROM support, EEPROM setup function, bus transceiver control, and interrupt
generation / selection.
For LOCAL BUS, I/O address decoding is done by comparing A15-A4 to the I/O BASE address
determined in part by the upper byte of the BASE ADDRESS REGISTER, and also requiring that AEN be
low. If the above address comparison is satisfied and the LAN91C96 is in 16 bit mode, nIOCS16 will be
asserted (low).
A valid comparison does not yet indicate a valid I/O cycle is in progress, as the addresses could be used
for a memory cycle, or could even glitch through a valid value. For LOCAL BUS and PCMCIA, only
when nIORD or nIOWR are activated the I/O cycle begins.
In PCMCIA mode, A4-A15 are ignored for I/O decodes, which rely on the PCMCIA host, decoding for the
slot. Input A10 for LOCAL BUS is used as an output (nFWE) for PCMCIA to enable Flash Memory Write
for programming the attribute memory. It is valid only when nWE is “0” and COR2 is “1”. nA11/nFCS is
used to select the Flash Memory Chip.
The LAN91C96 provides a glueless interface to a stripped down version of the Motorola 68000 processor.
This interface is limited to 16 bits only. None of the size or function pins are supported. The LAN91C96
functions as a slave and requires some of its pins pulled high or low for the interface to function.
The SMC91C96 enters the 68000 interface mode when nIORD and nIOWR are asserted simultaneously.
Once the two are asserted together, the only way to return to the LOCAL BUS interface is by hard
resetting the chip. Notice that the chip is required to power up in LOCAL BUS mode to use the 68000
interface.
For the first chip access, the first transfer (to the 91C96) must be a write as the controller uses this write to
confirm the 68000 mode. The LAN91C96 responds to addresses per the base address register contents
(as in the LOCAL BUS mode).
9.4
Wait State Policy
The LAN91C96 can work on most system buses without having to add wait states. The two parameters
that determine the memory access profile are the read access time and the cycle time into the Data
Register.
The read access time is 40ns and the cycle time is 185ns. If any one of them does not satisfy the
application requirements, wait states should be added.

SMSC LAN91C965v&3v

If the access time is the problem, IOCHRDY should be negated for all accesses to the LAN91C96. This
can be achieved by programming the NO WAIT ST bit in the configuration register to “0”. The LAN91C96
will negate IOCHRDY for 100ns to 150ns on every access to any register.
If the cycle time is the problem, programming NO WAIT ST as described before will solve it but at the
expense of slowing down all accesses. The alternative is to let the LAN91C96 negate IOCHRDY only
when the Data Register FIFOs require so. Namely, if NO WAIT ST is set, IOCHRDY will only be negated if
a Data Register read cycle starts and there is less than a full word in the read FIFO, or if a write cycle
starts and there is more than two bytes in the write FIFO.
The cycle time is defined as the time between leading edges of read from the Data Register, or
equivalently between trailing edges of write to the Data Register. For example, in an LOCAL BUS system
the cycle time of a 16 bit transfer will be at least 2 clocks for the I/O access to the LAN91C96 (+ one clock
for the memory cycle) for a total of 3 clocks. In absolute time it means 375ns for an 8MHz bus, and 240ns
for a 12.5 MHz bus.
The cycle time will not increase when configured for full duplex mode, because the CSMA/CD memory
arbitration requests are sequenced by the DMA logic and never overlap.
9.5
Arbitration Considerations
The arbiter exploits the sequential nature of the CPU accesses to provide a very fast access time. Memory
bandwidth considerations will have an effect on the CPU cycle time but no effect on access time.
For normal 8MHz, 10MHz, and 12.5MHz LOCAL BUS, as well as EISA normal cycles, the LAN91C96 can
be accessed without negating ready.
When write operations occur, the data is written into a FIFO. The CPU cycle can complete immediately,
and the buffered data will be written into memory later. The memory arbitration request is generated as a
function of that FIFO being not empty. The nature of the cycle requested (byte/word) is determined by the
LSB of the pointer and the number of bytes in the FIFO.
When read operations occur, words are pre-fetched upon pointer loading in order to have at least a word
ready in the FIFO to be read. New pre-fetch cycles are requested as a function of the number of bytes in
the FIFO.
For example, if an odd pointer value is loaded, first a byte is pre-fetched into the FIFO, and immediately a
full word is pre-fetched completing three bytes into the FIFO. If the CPU reads a word, one byte will be left
again a new word is pre-fetched.
In the case of write, if an odd pointer value is loaded, and a full word is written, the FIFO holds two bytes,
the first of which is immediately written into an odd memory location. If by that time another byte or word
was written, there will be two or three bytes in the FIFO and a full word can be written into the now even
memory address.
When a CSMA/CD cycle begins, the arbiter will route the CSMA/CD DMA addresses to the MMU as well
as the packet number associated with the operation in progress. In full-duplex mode, receive and transmit
requests are alternated in such a way that the CPU arbitration cycle time is not affected.
9.6
DMA Block
The DMA block resides between the CSMA/CD block and the arbiter. It can interface both the data path
and the control path of the CSMA/CD block for different operations.
Its functions include the following:
SMSC DS – LAN91C965v&3v
Page 81
DATASHEET
Rev. 03-28-07
Non-PCI Single-Chip Full Duplex Ethernet Controller with Magic Packet
ƒ
Start transmission process into the CSMA/CD block.
ƒ
Generate CSMA/CD side addresses for accessing memory during transmit and receive operations.
ƒ
Generate MMU memory requests and verify success.
ƒ
Compute byte count and write it in first locations of receive packet.
ƒ
Write transmit status word in first locations of transmit packet.
ƒ
Determine if enough memory is available for reception.
ƒ
De-allocate transmit memory after suitable completion.
ƒ
De-allocate receive memory upon error conditions.
ƒ
Initiate retransmissions upon collisions (if less than 16 retries).
ƒ
Terminate reception and release memory if packet is too long.
The specific nature of each operation and its trigger event are:
1.
TX operations will begin if TXENA is set and TX FIFO is not empty. The DMA logic does not need to
use the TX PACKET NUMBER, it goes directly from the FIFO to the MMU. However the DMA logic
controls the removal of the PACKET NUMBER from the FIFO.
2.
Generation of CSMA/CD side addresses into memory: Independent 11-bit counters are kept for
transmit and receive in order to allow full-duplex operation.
3.
MMU requests for allocation are generated by the DMA logic upon reception. The initial allocation
request is issued when the CSMA block indicates an active reception. If allocation succeeds, the DMA
block stores the packet number assigned to it, and generates write arbitration requests for as long as
the CSMA/CD FIFO is not empty. In parallel the CSMA/CD completes the address filtering and
notifies the DMA of an address match. If there is no address match, the DMA logic will release the
allocated memory and stop reception.
4.
When the CSMA/CD block notifies the DMA logic that a receive packet was completed, if the CRC is
OK, the DMA will either write the previously stored packet number into the RX PACKET NUMBER
FIFO (to be processed by the CPU), or if the CRC is bad the DMA will just issue a release command
to the MMU (and the CPU will never see that packet).
5.
If AUTO_RELEASE is set, a release is issued by the DMA block to the MMU after a successful
transmission (TX_SUCC set), and the TX completion FIFO is clocked together with the TX FIFO
preventing the packet number from moving into the TX completion FIFO.
6.
Based on the RX counter value, if a receive packet exceeds 1532 bytes, reception is stopped by the
DMA and the RX ABORT bit in the Receive Control Register is set. The memory allocated to the
packet is automatically released.
7.
If an allocation fails, the CSMA/CD block will activate RX_OVRN INT upon detecting a FIFO full
condition. RXEN will stay active to allow reception of subsequent packets if memory becomes
available. The CSMA/CD block will flush the FIFO upon the new frame arrival.
Packets with bad CRC can be received if the RCV_BAD bit in the configuration register is set.
9.7
Packet Number FIFOS
The transmit packet FIFO stores the packet numbers awaiting transmission, in the order they were
enqueued. The FIFO is advanced (written) when the CPU issues the "enqueue packet number
command", the packet number to be written is provided by the CPU via the Packet Number Register. The
number was previously obtained by requesting memory allocation from the MMU. The FIFO is read by the
DMA block when the CSMA/CD block is ready to proceed on to the next transmission. By reading the TX
EMPTY INT bit the CPU can determine if this FIFO is empty.
The transmit completion FIFO stores the packet numbers that were already transmitted but not yet
acknowledged by the CPU. The CPU can read the next packet number in this FIFO from the FIFO Ports
Register. The CPU can remove a packet number from this FIFO by issuing a TX INT acknowledge. The
CPU can determine if this FIFO is empty by reading the TX INT bit or the FIFO Ports Register.
Rev. 03-28-07

DATASHEET
SMSC LAN91C965v&3v
Non-PCI Single-Chip Full Duplex Ethernet Controller with Magic Packet
The receive packet FIFO stores the packet numbers already received into memory, in the order they were
received. The FIFO is advanced (written) by the DMA block upon reception of a complete valid packet into
memory. The number is determined the moment the DMA block first requests memory from the MMU for
that packet. The first receive packet number in the FIFO can be read via the FIFO Ports Register, and the
data associated with it can be accessed through the receive area. The packet number can be removed
from the FIFO with or without an automatic release of its associated memory.
The FIFO is read out upon CPU command (remove packet from top of RX FIFO, or remove and release
command) after processing the receive packet in the receive area.
The width of each FIFO is 5 bits per packet number. The depth of each FIFO equals the number of
packets the LAN91C96 can handle (18).
The guideline is software transparency; the software driver should not be aware of different devices or
FIFO depths. If the MMU memory allocation succeeded, there will be room in the transmit FIFO for
enqueuing the packet. Conversely if there is free memory for receive, there should be room in the receive
FIFO for storing the packet number.
Note that the CPU can enqueue a transmit command with a packet number that does not follow the
sequence in which the MMU assigned packet numbers. For example, when a transmission failed and it is
retried in software, or when a receive packet is modified and sent back to the network.

CSMA Block
The CSMA/CD block is first interfaced via its control registers in order to define its operational
configuration. From then on, the DMA interface between the CSMA/CD block and memory is used to
transfer data to and from its data path interface.
For transmit, the CSMA/CD block will be asked to transmit frames as soon as they are ready in memory. It
will continue transmissions until any of the following transmit error occurs:
1.
Collisions on same frame
2.
Late collision
3.
Lost Carrier sense and MON_CSN set
4.
Transmit Underrun
5.
SQET error and STP_SQET set
Rev. 03-28-07

DATASHEET
SMSC LAN91C965v&3v
Non-PCI Single-Chip Full Duplex Ethernet Controller with Magic Packet
In that case TXENA will be cleared and the CPU should restart the transmission by setting it again. If a
transmission is successful, TXENA stays set and the CSMA/CD is provided by the DMA block with the
next packet to be transmitted.
For receive, the CPU sets RXEN as a way of starting the CSMA/CD block receive process. The CSMA/CD
block will send data after address filtering through the data path to the DMA block. Data is transferred into
memory as it is received, and the final check on data acceptance is the CRC checking done by the
CSMA/CD block. In any case, the DMA takes care of requesting/releasing memory for receive packets, as
well as generating the byte count.
The receive status word is provided by the CSMA/CD block and written in the first location of the receive
structure by the DMA block. If configured for storing CRC in memory, the CSMA/CD unit will transfer the
CRC bytes through the DMA interface, and then will be treated like regular data bytes.
Note that the receive status word of any packet is available only through memory and is not readable
through any other register. In order to let the CPU know about receive overruns, the RX_OVRN INT is set
and latched in the Interrupt Status Register, which is readable by the CPU at any time.
The address filtering is done inside the CSMA/CD block. A packet will be received if the destination
address is broadcast, or if it is addressed to the individual address of the LAN91C96, or if it is a multicast
address and ALMUL bit is set, or if it is a multicast address matching one of the multicast table entries. If
the PRMS bit is set, all packets are received. The CSMA/CD block is a full duplex machine, and when
working in full duplex mode, the CSMA/CD block will be simultaneously using its data path transmit and
receive interfaces.
Statistical counters are kept by the CSMA/CD block, and are readable through the appropriate register.
The counters are four bits each, and can generate an interrupt when reaching their maximum values.
Software can use that interrupt to update statistics in memory, or it can keep the counter interrupt disabled,
while relying on the transmit interrupt routine reading the counters. Given that the counters can increment
only once per transmit, this technique is a good complement for the single interrupt per sequence strategy.
The interface between the CSMA/CD block and memory is word oriented. Two bi-directional FIFOs make
the data path interface.
Whenever a normal collision occurs (less than 16 retries), the CSMA/CD will trigger the backoff logic and
will indicate the DMA logic of the collision. The DMA is responsible for restarting the data transfer into the
CSMA/CD block regardless of whether the collision happened on the preamble or not.
Only when 16 retries are reached, the CSMA/CD block will clear the TXENA bit, and CPU intervention is
required. The DMA will not automatically restart data transfer in this case, nor will it transmit the next
enqueued packet until TXENA is set by the CPU. The DMA will move the packet number in question from
the TX FIFO into the TX completion FIFO.
9.9
Network Interface
The LAN91C96 includes both an AUI interface for thick and thin coax applications and a 10BASE-T
interface for twisted pair applications. Functions common to both are:
1.
Manchester encoder/decoder to convert NRZ data to Manchester encoded data and back.
2.
A 32ms jabber timer to prevent inadvertently long transmissions. When 'jabbing' occurs, the
transmitter is disabled, automatic loopback is disabled (in 10BASE-T mode), and a collision indication
is given to the controller. The interface 'unjabs' when the transmitter has been idle for a minimum of
256 ms.
3.
A phase-lock loop to recover data and clock from the Manchester data stream with up to plus or minus
18ns of jitter.
4.
Diagnostic loopback capability.

LED drivers for collision, transmission, reception, and jabber.
10Base-T
The 10BASE-T interface conforms to the twisted pair MAU addendum to the 802.3 specification. On the
transmission side, it converts the NRZ data from the controller to Manchester data and provides the
appropriate signal level for driving the media. Signal are predistorted before transmission to minimize ISI.
The collision detection circuitry monitors the simultaneous occurrence of received signals and transmitted
data on the media. During transmission, data is automatically looped back to the receiver except during
collision periods, in which case the input to the receiver is network data. During collisions, should the
receive input go idle prior to the transmitter going idle, input to the receiver switches back to the transmitter
within nine bit times. Following transmission, the transmitter performs a SQE test. This test exercises the
collision detection circuitry within the 10BASE-T interface.
The receiver monitors the media at all times. It recovers the clock and data and passes it along to the
controller. In the absence of any receive activity, the transmitter is looped back to the receiver. In addition,
the receiver performs automatic polarity correction. The 10BASE-T interface performs link integrity tests
per section 14.2.1.7 of 802.3, using the following values:
1.
Link_loss_timer: 64 ms
2.
Link_test_min_timer: 4 ms
3.
Link_count: 2
4.
Link_test_max_timer: 64 ms
The state of the link is reflected in the EPHSR.
9.11
AUI
The LAN91C96 also provides a standard six wire AUI interface to a coax transceiver.
9.12
Physical Interface
The internal physical interface (PHY) consists of an encoder/decoder (ENDEC) and an internal 10BASE-T
transceiver. The ENDEC also provides a standard 6-pin AUI interface to an external coax transceiver for
10BASE-2 and 10BASE-5 applications. The internal signals between MAC and the PHY can be routed to
pins by asserting the nXENDEC pin low. This feature allows the interface to an external ENDEC and
transceiver. The PHY functions can be divided into transmit and receive functions.
9.13
Transmit Functions
9.13.1 Manchester Encoding
The PHY encodes the transmit data received from the MAC. The encoded data is directed internally to the
selected output driver for transmission over the twisted-pair network or the AUI cable. Data transmission
and encoding is initiated by the Transmit Enable input, TXE, going low.
Rev. 03-28-07
Page 86
DATASHEET
SMSC LAN91C965v&3v
Non-PCI Single-Chip Full Duplex Ethernet Controller with Magic Packet
9.13.2 Transmit Drivers
The encoded transmit data passes through to the transmit driver pair, TPETXP(N), and its complement,
TPETXDP(N). Each output of the transmit driver pair has a source resistance of 10 ohms maximum and a
current rating of 25 mA maximum. The degree of predistortion is determined by the termination resistors;
the equivalent resistance should be 100 ohms.
9.13.3 Jabber Function
This integrated function prevents the DTE from locking into a continuous transmit state. In 10BASE-T
mode, if transmission continues beyond the specified time limit, the jabber function inhibits further
transmission and asserts the collision indicator nCOLL. The limits for jabber transmission are 20 to 15 ms
in 10BASE-T mode. In the AUI mode, the jabber function is performed by the external transceiver.
9.13.4 SQE Function
In the 10BASE-T mode, the PHY supports the signal quality error (SQE) function. At the end of a
transmission, the PHY asserts the nCOLL signal for 10+/-5 bit times beginning 0.6 to 1.6ms after the last
positive transition of a transmitted frame. In the AUI mode, the SQE function is performed by the external
transceiver.
9.14
Receive Functions
9.14.1 Receive Drivers
Differential signals received off the twisted-pair network or AUI cable are directed to the internal clock
recovery circuit prior to being decoded for the MAC.
9.14.2 Manchester Decoder and Clock Recovery
The PHY performs timing recovery and Manchester decoding of incoming differential signals in 10BASE-T
or AUI modes, with its built-in phase-lock loop (PLL). The decoded (NRZ) data, RXD, and the recovered
clock, RXCLK, becomes available to the MAC, typically within 9 bit times (5 for AUI) after the assertion of
nCRS. The receive clock, RXCLK, is phase-locked to the transmit clock in the absence of a received
signal (idle).
9.14.3 Squelch Function
The integrated smart squelch circuit employs a combination of amplitude and timing measurements to
determine the validity of data received off the network. It prevents noise at the differential inputs from
falsely triggering the decoder in the absence of valid data or link test pulses. Signal levels below 300mV
(180mV for AUI) or pulse widths less than 15ns at the differential inputs are rejected. Signals above
585mV (300mV for AUI) and pulse widths greater than 30ns will be accepted. When using the extended
cable mode with 10BASE-T media which extends beyond the standard limit of 100 meters, the squelch
level can optionally be set to reject signals below 180mV and accept signals above 300mV. If the input
signal exceeds the squelch requirements, the carrier sense output, nCRS, is asserted.

Rev. 03-28-07
Non-PCI Single-Chip Full Duplex Ethernet Controller with Magic Packet
9.14.4 Reverse Polarity Function
In the 10BASE-T mode, the PHY monitors for receiver polarity reversal due to crossed wires and corrects
by reversing the signal internally.
9.14.5 Collision Detection Function
In the 10BASE-T mode, a collision state is indicated when there are simultaneous transmissions and
receptions on the twisted pair link. During a collision state, the nCOLL signal is asserted. If the received
data ends and the transmit control signal is still active, the transmit data is sent to the MAC within 9 bit
times. The nCOLL signal is de-asserted within 9 bit times after the collision terminates. In the AUI mode,
the external transceiver sends a 10MHz signal to the PHY upon detection of a collision.
9.14.6 Link Integrity
The PHY test for a faulty twisted-pair link. In the absence of transmit data, link test pulses are transmitted
every 16+/-8ms after the end of the last transmission or link pulse on the twisted pair medium. If neither
valid data nor link test pulses are received within 10 to 150ms, the link is declared bad and both data
transmission as well as the operational loopback function are disabled. The Link Integrity function can be
disabled for pre-10BASE-T twisted-pair networks.

INTERRUPT LINE SELECTION
All the above mentioned values are read from the EEPROM upon hardware reset. Except for the
INDIVIDUAL ADDRESS, the value of the IOS switches determines the offset within the EEPROM for these
parameters, in such a way that many identical boards can be plugged into the same system by just
changing the IOS jumpers.
In order to support a software utility based installation, even if the EEPROM was never programmed, the
EEPROM can be written using the LAN91C96. One of the IOS combination is associated with a fixed
default value for the key parameters (I/O BASE, ROM BASE, INTERRUPT) that can always be used
regardless of the EEPROM based value being programmed. This value will be used if all IOS pins are left
open or pulled high.
The EEPROM is arranged as a 64 x 16 array. The specific target device is the 9346 1024-bit Serial
EEPROM. All EEPROM accesses are done in words. All EEPROM addresses shown are specified as
word addresses.
INDIVIDUAL ADDRESS 20-22 hexIf IOS2-0 = 7, only the INDIVIDUAL ADDRESS is read from the
EEPROM. Currently assigned values are assumed for the other registers. These values are default if the
EEPROM read operation follows hardware reset.
The EEPROM SELECT bit is used to determine the type of EEPROM operation: a) normal or b) general
purpose register.
a)
NORMAL EEPROM OPERATION - EEPROM SELECT bit = 0
On EEPROM read operations (after reset or after setting RELOAD high) the CONFIGURATION
REGISTER and BASE REGISTER are updated with the EEPROM values at locations defined by the
IOS2-0 pins. The INDIVIDUAL ADDRESS registers are updated with the values stored in the
INDIVIDUAL ADDRESS area of the EEPROM.
On EEPROM write operations (after setting the STORE bit) the values of the CONFIGURATION
REGISTER and BASE REGISTER are written in the EEPROM locations defined by the IOS2-0 pins.
The three least significant bits of the CONTROL REGISTER (EEPROM SELECT, RELOAD and
STORE) are used to control the EEPROM. Their values are not stored nor loaded from the EEPROM.
b)
GENERAL PURPOSE REGISTER - EEPROM SELECT bit = 1
On EEPROM read operations (after setting RELOAD high) the EEPROM word address defined by the
POINTER REGISTER 6 least significant bits is read into the GENERAL PURPOSE REGISTER.

Non-PCI Single-Chip Full Duplex Ethernet Controller with Magic Packet
On EEPROM write operations (after setting the STORE bit) the value of the GENERAL PURPOSE
REGISTER is written at the EEPROM word address defined by the POINTER REGISTER 6 least
significant bits.
RELOAD and STORE are set by the user to initiate read and write operations respectively. Polling the
value until read low is used to determine completion. When an EEPROM access is in progress the
STORE and RELOAD bits of CTR will read-back as both bits high. No other bits of the LAN91C96
can be read or written until the EEPROM operation completes and both bits are clear. This
mechanism is also valid for reset initiated reloads.
Note:
If no EEPROM is connected to the LAN91C96, the ENEEP pin should be grounded and no accesses to
the EEPROM will be attempted. Configuration, Base and Individual Addresses assume their default values
upon hardware reset and the CPU is responsible for programming them for their final value.

Diagnostic LEDs
The following LED drive signals are available for diagnostic and installation aid purposes:
nTXLED - Activated by transmit activity.
nBSELED - Board select LED. Activated when the board space is accessed, namely on accesses to the
LAN91C96 register space or the ROM area decoded by the LAN91C96. The signal is stretched to 125
msec.
nRXLED - Activated by receive activity.
nLINKLED - Reflects the link integrity status.
10.2
Bus Clock Considerations
The arbiter exploits the sequential nature of the CPU accesses to provide a very fast access time.
Memory bandwidth considerations will have an effect on the CPU cycle time but no effect on access time.
For normal 8MHz, 10MHz, and 12.5MHz LOCAL BUS, as well as EISA normal cycles, the LAN91C96 can
be accessed without negating ready.
See Arbitration Considerations in Functional Description of the Blocks for more details.
10.3
68000 Bus Interface
The LAN91C96 enters the 68000 interface mode when nIORD and nIOWR are asserted simultaneously.
Once the two are asserted together, the only way to return to the LOCAL BUS interface is by hard
resetting the chip. Notice that the chip is required to power up in LOCAL BUS mode to use the 68000
interface.
For the first chip access, the first transfer (to the LAN91C96) must be a write. The LAN91C96 uses this
write to confirm the 68000 mode. An attempted read may return incorrect data. The LAN91C96 responds
to addresses per the base address register contents (as in LOCAL BUS mode). Notice that the worst case
access time for the first cycle is the same as that for LOCAL BUS or PCMCIA modes.

Chapter 11 Operational Description
11.1
Maximum Guaranteed Ratings*
Operating Temperature Range ...................................................................................................0°C to 70°C
Storage Temperature Range ...............................................................................................-55°C to +150°C
Lead Temperature Range (soldering, 10 seconds) ............................................................................+325°C
Positive Voltage on any pin, with respect to Ground .....................................................................VCC + 0.3V
Negative Voltage on any pin, with respect to Ground ........................................................................... -0.3V
Maximum VCC .......................................................................................................................................... +7V
*Stresses above those listed above could cause permanent damage to the device. This is a stress 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 the 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.
