Each port is configurable to 10 full/half duplex,
100 full/half duplex and 1000 full duplex mode
Flow-control ability is able to set for both full
and half duplex mode
Broadcast throttling
Port Mirroring
Serial EEPROM Interface, EEPROM is optional
MDIO master for PHY configuration / polling
0.18 micron technology
2V and 3.3V dual voltage power supply
Packaged in PBGA 292
25MHz crystal input only
for
The chip embeds IEEE 802.3 MAC functions for
each port and these functions support full and half
duplex modes for both 10 and 100 Mbits/s data
rates and full duplex for 1000 Mbit/s. Each port
includes dedicated receive and transmit FIFOs
with necessary logic to implement flow control for
both full and half duplex modes. TC9205M uses
IEEE 802.3x frame based flow control for full
duplex and backpressure for half duplex.
TC9205M handles an 8K address-lookup table
with searching, self-learning, and automatic aging,
at very high speed and excellent address space
coverage. Forwarding rules are implemented
according to IEEE 802.1D specifications. Filtering
capabilities for bad packets and packets with
Reserved Group Address DA are also provided.
The pin configuration interface comprises 40
configurations, which are shared with GMII output
pins by latching the configuration data during
reset. An external EEPROM device can also be
used to configure the TC9205M at power-up. With
reference to pin configuration interface, the
EEPROM extends the chip’s configuration
capability with new features and enables a
jumper-less configuration mode using a parallel
interface for reprogramming. A virtual internal
EEPROM mode is also provided to enable the
use of the programming interface in the absence
of external EEPROM. TC9205M can make
effective use by most of its features using only the
pin configuration interface.
General Description
TC9205M is a fully integrated 5 Port 10/100/1000
smart Ethernet switch controller designed for low
cost and high performance solutions. The chip
embeds necessary SSRAM for packet buffering
and MAC address table. It provides MII / GMII /
interface for all ports.
TC9205M includes a physical layer configuration /
polling entity, which it is use to configure the phy
functions and to monitor the physical layer
transceiver’s speed, duplex mode, link status and
full duplex flow control ability for each port. The
chip provides four modes for phy configurations,
which these modes include auto-negotiation
disable procedure for 10/100 speed modes. The
phy configuration information is stored in
EEPROM setting.
A store-and-forward switching method using a
non-blocking architecture is implemented within
TC9205M to improve the availability and
bandwidth. The chip embeds packet buffer, which
it supports normal and priority queues for each
transmission port.
TC9205M provides evolved CoS with four levels
of priority. The priority can be checked via layer 2
(802.1Q VLAN Tagging) and/or layer 3 (IP Header
TOS bits) packets. Port based priority is also
provided to ensure transmission with precedence
for all packets incoming from selected port(s).

Ethernet Media Access Controller
The TC9205M’s Ethernet Media Access Controller (MAC) contains IEEE 802.3 MAC functions for 5 ports.
It is able to operate in 10/100/1000 full duplex and 10/100 half duplex modes for all ports. Each port has
its dedicated receive and transmit FIFO with necessary logic to implement flow control for both duplex
modes. The MAC functions are specially designed for high speed and flexible interfacing.
2.1
Receive MAC
When a frame is received from the Ethernet media through the MII interface, it is stored first in a
dedicated receive FIFO. This FIFO acts as a temporary buffer between the Receive MAC section and
switch core interface.
The Receive MAC layer extracts the valid ethernet information by stripping off the preamble sequence
and SFD of the received frame, which the frame was acquired from the PHY layer via either GMII or MII
interface. The Receive MAC then sends packets with valid information to the receive FIFO.
TC9205M determines the validity of each received packet by checking the CRC and packet length. The
bad packets will be dropped either by the MAC or by the queue manager. Oversized packets are
truncated to 1536 bytes and marked as erroneous packets. Undersized packets are removed from the
receive FIFO without being reported to the switch interface. Therefore the FIFO space held by
undersized packets will be removed automatically.
In Full Duplex mode the Receive MAC can identify any received frame as a flow control frame having a
valid CRC. It will load its internal pause counter with the ‘pause quanta’ value extracted from the
incoming frame. The flow control frame will be rejected after the pausing period has been acquired. After
the pausing period has obtained from the flow control frame, the flow control mechanism inside
TC9205M will set a decremental timer in the pause counter according to the value of the pausing period.
A non-zero value sets in the pause counter will issue the Receive MAC to XOFF (Transmit Stop) the
Transmit MAC. The pause counter will decrement the ‘pause quanta’ value after each slot time until it
reaches zero. If the pause quanta value is equal to zero the flow control mechanism will XON (Transmit
Enable) the Transmit MAC.
If a frame transmission is in progress when the PAUSE frame is received, the transmission is allowed to
complete for the current transmitting frame but the transmission for the next frame(s) will hold until the
Receive MAC generates an XON command. The pause time will begin at the end of current transmission
or start immediately if no transmission is in the medium when the PAUSE frame is received. If a pause
command is received while the transmitter is already in pause, the new pause time indicated by the new
Flow Control frame will be loaded into the pause register.
The MAC is also able to reject frames containing IEEE 802.1D Reserved Group Destination Addresses
and frames with Mac Control Type (Type 88-08) if selected through configuration settings.
When the receive FIFO is full and additional data are still incoming from the MAC, then the overrun
condition occurs and the frame is dropped. If the system clock frequency is not lower than the
recommended value this condition will never occur.

2.2
Transmit MAC
The Transmit MAC section assembles the MAC frames stored in the transmit FIFO and controls their
transmission onto the media via external PHY entities. It appends the standard preamble and start of
frame delimiter to the transmitted packets. The MAC also controls the interframe gap time during
transmission, maintaining for default the standard minimum interframe gap of 96-bit time. This value can
be changed in the EEPROM register setting.
For Half Duplex mode the Transmit MAC meets CSMA/CD IEEE 802.3 requirements. The FIFO logic
manages frame retransmission for early collision conditions or discards the frame if late collision occurs.
It also follows the truncated binary exponential backoff algorithm, collision and jamming procedures.
The transmit FIFO stores the packets which are ready for transmission in the main memory queues. If
there is no packet ready in the transmit FIFO before the current packet completes its transmission, an
underrun condition has occurred and the mechanism will generate a signal to indicate FIFO underrun
event, but if the switch core transfers the rest of the packet(s) into the FIFO, the Transmit MAC will safely
discard it without affecting the next packet. Underrun conditions never occur if the system is operating at
the recommended clock frequency or higher.
For full duplex mode TC9205M implements the flow control algorithm according to the IEEE 802.3x standard,
using the XON/XOFF method. Full duplex flow control can be configured automatically, by auto-negotiation
result, or manually, pin configuration and/or EEPROM settings, to enable/disable the function.
The TC9205M executes backpressure algorithm for half duplex flow control supporting both collision
based and carrier based backpressure. Both modes are based on carrier sense forced collisions and an
aggressive backoff algorithm. The forced consecutive collisions generated for flow control purposes can
be limited to a maximum of 28 collisions if this option is selected. This feature helps to avoid HUB
partitioning in heavy traffic. The number of collisions can be adjusted in EEPROM settings.

MAC Address Handling
After the frames are recovered from MAC FIFOs they are transferred to the queue management entity.
Prior to this transfer the DA and SA are extracted from each frame and passed to MAC Address Lookup
Table and Resolution Engine (ALR). The Lookup engine uses a proprietary hashing algorithm to access
its 8K address table.
The engine will update its table with each SA, if it is found to be unknown or migrated, Then it will update
the source port and aging information along with the new address. This learning process will be executed
for all addresses except for multicast SA frames (bit 40 is ‘1’). For stored addresses, aging function is
executed according to the time intervals set in the EEPROM registers. Default aging time is 600 seconds.
TC9025M also provide option to disable the aging mechanism, please refer to the EEPROM Register in
section 14.3.15 for more details.
Destination address is also analyzed in order to make forwarding decisions. If the destination address is
a broadcast or multicast address, the frame will flood to all ports except its originated port (source port). If
only some ports are allow to send those frame(s) with broadcast or multicast address(es), the destination
ports will search the for the port(s) with correct address(s) in the MAC address table. If the address is
found to be unknown, the frame will be also flooded to every port otherwise frame(s) will be forwarded to
the legitimate port(s) only.
TC9205M will filter following frames:
erroneous frames. This includes :
- frames with CRC error;
- undersized frames;
- oversized frames;
- frames that presents alignment error (this doesn’t include frames with dribble bits).
802.3x pause frames. These frames will be filtered after executing appropriate flow control actions;
frames with 802.3x full duplex flow control PAUSE operation destination address. These frames are not
recognized as pause frames if the MAC type and subtype does not match the “88080001”H value;
frames with 802.1D Reserved Group Address destination address;
frames with MAC Control Type (8808);
Local frames. If the port found to correspond to destination address matches the source port, then the
frame is considered to be local and discarded.
4
Queue Management
TC9205M operates in a store and forward mode implementing efficient switching method that minimizes
the overall latency. The queue manager uses the first in first out forwarding mode, which guarantees to
maintain frame order. Congestion control is implemented within TC9205M, which will eliminate
head-of-line blocking conditions.
The switch embeds a 2 Mbit SSRAM as a central frame buffer pool, which is divided into 256 byte buffers
to increase memory utilization efficiency. Normal and priority transmission queues are implemented within
TC9205M for each port. All available frame buffers are shared between all transmission queues and each
queue can fully extend to all buffers. Still memory resource utilization is limited on receive port basis.
Evolved flow control and frame filtering mechanisms are implemented based on source, transmit and
global memory load to maximize performance and minimize packet loss.

Classes of Service
TC9205M implements advanced Class of Service (CoS), supporting both traffic priority and delay bound
features. It provides four classes of service: class 0 (low), class 1 (normal), class 2 (high) and class 3
(very high). Each class of service has its dedicated transmission queue for each port. The frames assign
with higher service class will arrive sooner at the destination.
Frames in the class 0 priority queue get the lowest transmission bandwidth percentage, while frames in
the class 3 priority queue get the highest bandwidth percentage. The bandwidth percentage depends on
two elements:
- CoS bandwidth Weights;
- The corresponding class of all non-empty queues for the respective port.
The CoS Weights can be set by using PriBndw[1:0] shared configuration pins or by setting the
EEPROM Registers. While the pins provide only four predefined hardwired combinations for the
transmission bandwidth percentage allocation among the queues, the EEPROM gives more flexibility
over this configuration.
When EEPROM is not present, transmission bandwidth percentage distribution among the queues for
the case when all the queues are loaded can be seen in the table below:
PriBndw[1:0]

30%
3%
5%
10%
Class 3 Priority
(highest)
53%
56%
60%
82%
The percentage refers to the port’s bandwidth, which is determined by the current operating speed.
Those values are the guaranteed minimum ones and the transmission bandwidth percentage cannot
drop below specified value under any circumstance. If EEPROM is used, the user has more flexible
adjustment of bandwidth weights to choose from the EEPROM register.
A special early packet dropping mechanism is also implemented to offer more protection against
overflow conditions for priority packets. If the global memory load exceeds an overflow threshold, then all
class 0 priority packets will be dropped from the source port(s) in order to save space for the higher
priority packets. This will minimize the probability of packet loss in priority flows for senders that are not
flow control capable.
The CoS mechanism supports multiple prioritization sources: 802.1Q VLAN Tag Header (layer 2), IP
Header TOS bits (layer 3) and/or port based CoS. For IP and VLAN sources a mapping is executed
between the values of the fields extracted from each frame and one of the four CoS provided by
TC9205M. This mapping can be adjusted by using IPTosMap[1:0] and VLANPrMap[1:0] shared
configuration pins or the EEPROM settings. While the pins provide just four predefined hard-wired
mapping schemes, the EEPROM gives a custom explicit mapping.
Under some circumstances, one or more mechanisms can be active (VLAN, IP and/or port based). In
this case there is a resolution function that resolves the CoS for each incoming frame. When EEPROM is
not present and IP and/or VLAN prioritizations are enabled the corresponding headers are parsed. The
frame will be assigned the CoS corresponding to the first header of each incoming frames parsed and
found valid. When both above prioritizations are enabled the search order is determined by EEPROM
Confidential.

configuration (default is IP). If no header is found or corresponding prioritizations are disabled then port
based prioritization is executed. When EEPROM is present an additional method of prioritization is
available. This method consists of selecting the highest service class from all classes corresponding to
the enabled prioritization sources (IP, VLAN and port based). For both methods, when no prioritization
source is available the default CoS is used (default is normal priority – CoS1 but it can be also changed
by EEPROM configuration).
The CoS feature can be configured by adjusting shared configuration pins and/or programming
EEPROM Register settings. VLAN prioritization can be enabled by EnVLPr shared configuration pin or
by EEPROM register settings,, while EnIPPr shared configuration pin or the EEPROM can enable IP
prioritization. The shared configuration pins are sampled during reset.
The per port basis CoS can be set using PriClass[x][1:0] shared configuration pins or configuring
EEPROM registers, where x stands for port number. The port based prioritization can be disabled from
EEPROM settings only.

Flow Control
Whenever the memory load exceeds preset thresholds, flow control commands are issued by the traffic
management entity to the transmit MACs to prevent overflow conditions occurred. The overrun
conditions are either locally or globally triggered, depending on the traffic management entity
configuration. Transmit MAC executed those flow control commands depending on the duplex mode
status. TC9205M executes backpressure for half duplex operation mode and it is IEEE 802.3x compliant
for full duplex operation mode. In special conditions forward-pressure is also executed to eliminate
packet loss.
For full duplex operation mode, TC9205M applies the XON/XOFF method using IEEE 802.3x PAUSE
frames. When a flow control command is internally generated, the transmit MAC inserts a pause frame
immediately or after the current transmission ends. On the receiving side, if a flow control frame is
received, the transmit MAC will stop transmission for a number of slot times, where the pausing time was
extracted from the received pause frame. The flow control function of the receiving side is always
operational unless is specifically disabled by EEPROM on a per port basis (if no EEPROM is present the
receive side flow-control is always operational), while transmission of the pause frames obeys the auto
negotiation result.
TC9205M recognizes flow control frames from the incoming frames and these frames should also have a
valid CRC. The IEEE 802.3x PAUSE operation reserved destination address, MAC control type and
PAUSE opcode (88-08-00-01). The chip filters all frames having PAUSE operation reserved DA
disregarding the other fields. If enabled, direct flow control addressing can be executed. This implies
inserting the port address as SA in each flow control frame generated by TC9205M and recognizing as
flow control all received frames with the port’s address as DA, MAC control type and PAUSE opcode.
After recognizing and executing appropriate flow control actions these frames will be also filtered. The
port address is obtained by adding the port’s number to the base address contained within EEPROM.
When no EEPROM is present and DisFdFC shared configuration pin is configured to high state, the
switch will inhibit its ability to send flow control packets on all ports while preserving its ability to receive
and act upon the incoming flow control packets. If this pin is configured to low state the switch will
execute symmetrical PAUSE operation as defined in 802.3x.
The function of enabling/disabling the flow control in the EEPROM is now available on a per port basis
rather than setting flow control globally for all ports and separate enabling/disabling flow control ability
can be performed on either receive or transmit side of a port.
TC9205M can be instructed to ignore the auto-negotiation result for full duplex flow control ability. When the
FrcFdFC shared configuration pin or the equvalent register in the EEPROM is equal to 1, the link partner
will be considered to have full duplex flow control capable no matter of auto-negotiation result. The
FrcFdFC setting is effective only for ports configured in 10/100 Mbps speed modes. When the FrcGbFC
and the equivalent register in the EEPROM is equal to 1, the link partner will be considered symmetric and
asymmetric towards link partner full duplex flow control capable no matter of auto-negotiation result. The
FrcGbFC setting is effective only for ports configured in 1000 Mbps speed mode.
The TC9205M executes backpressure algorithm for half duplex flow control, supporting both
collision-based and carrier-based backpressure. For collision-based backpressure the switch will be
forced to send collision signals to the terminal that sends packets to TC9205M. While TC9205M detects
an incoming frame that it wishes to backpressure with carrier sense signals, the switch will start
transmission to that port. If no packet is available at that moment for transmission then the MAC layer will
generate short jamming frames. Additionally, an aggressive backoff will be executed on the switch side
(by the transmit MAC) after each of the forced collisions. The transmit MAC will chose between 0 and 1
slot times to backoff. This will grant a fast recovery for the switch's congested port and will secure the
channel for the congested port in case it wishes to transmit (empty its buffers). If desired, the backoff can

be completely disabled using shared configuration pin DisBPBk or EEPROM. In this case the switch will
start transmitting with minimum IFG after carrier sense is deasserted and followed after collision.
For carrier-based backpressure the switch will use the deferral mechanism rather than the collision
backoff mechanism. The transmit MAC will jam the line by sending continuous preamble. The link
partner will see the channel busy and thus it will defer transmission without imposing any additional
backoff delay. The jamming procedure will have short break to avoid jabber condition and the break will
also be short enough to prevent the other stations from starting transmission. Preamble can be sent this
way as long as necessary. If valid packets became available for transmission during this period then
jamming will be interrupted and the packets will be transmitted with standard IFG (Inter-Frame Gap). In
this case backpressure is executed the same way as collision based mechanism. Carrier based
backpressure can be selected using shared configuration pin CrBP or EEPROM.
Backpressure operation can be disabled globally using the shared configuration pin DisBkPr or per port
basis using the EEPROM. By default forward pressure is also enabled whenever backpressure is
enabled. Forward pressure is executed only in extreme congestion conditions that normally do not occur
often. This flow control procedure is highly efficient in minimizing the packet loss. If desired, the forward
pressure can be disabled by the EEPROM setting.
If a HUB is connected to many workstations, one of the ports may be partitioned in heavy traffic when the
switch executes backpressure. TC9205M can prevent this by discontinuing the backpressure process
after a predefined number of consecutive collisions has reached. This function can be enabled using the
shared configuration pin FullBP or adjusting EEPROM setting. Unlike other settings, to enable this
feature the pin/bit should be set to '0'. The respective number of collisions defaults to 28 and can be
specified using the EEPROM. In addition, when this feature is enabled the MAC will either grant
receiving the next packet without colliding it, after which, it will resume the backpressure, or will
completely quit backpressure waiting for a new XOFF command from internal flow control management
device.

Broadcast Throttling
In case of excessive broadcast, TC9205M will throttle the broadcast traffic based on buffer memory
loading. Both global buffer pool loading and source port loading are considered. The number of frame
buffers that can be consumed by broadcast packets received from an individual source port is
permanently limited to the EEPROM configurable value (contained by SrcLoadTrsh field from Broadcast
Configuration Register). The default value is 32 when the EEPROM is not present. Additionally,
regarding the global aspect, broadcast frames are always dropped by broadcast queues overflow. Two
broadcast queues are implemented within TC9205M, one for low and normal priority (Classes 0 and 1)
and another for higher priorities (Classes 2 and 3).
Both filtering mechanisms described above can be avoided by enabling the flow control for broadcast
process. This mechanism can be enabled using the FcBcstEn pin shared configuration or by adjusting
the EEPROM setting. In this case the loading thresholds will never be reached and as result no
broadcast packet will be dropped although the filtering mechanism always remains active. If the
broadcast flow control is disabled TC9205M is still capable of taking continuous broadcast frames from
one port and deliver them to all the other ports at maximum speed without losing packets.
Independent of the throttling mechanisms, a bandwidth based broadcast throttling can be enabled using
the BcstThrot pin or by EEPROM setting. When this process is active, the receive broadcast bandwidth
per port will be limited to a value between 1% and 31% from the port’s maximum bandwidth. This
percentage is encoded within ThrotTrsh field from EEPROM's Broadcast Configuration Register. Default
value is 5 (%). Whenever the broadcast traffic bandwidth exceeds the above limit some broadcast
frames will be randomly dropped in order to precisely meet the enforced bandwidth.
TC9205M has the ability to give an indication about its status, from the broadcast packets handling issue
perspective. Its BcstLED pin can signal either if the incoming broadcast packets are dropped or if
broadcast packets overflow a certain threshold. During reset, this pin has the meaning of BcstCfg
shared configuration pin. The BcstLED will behave as a broadcast packets dropping indicator, it lights
periodically whenever a broadcast packet is dropped due to buffer overflow.

Port Mirroring
Although TC9205M is a smart switch, it has the ability to set a pair of mirroring ports. This feature is
available only through EEPROM settings. The port mirroring feature can be enabled by setting a value of
‘1’ in either EnTxMirror field from EEPROM’s PortMirrorConfig register or EnRxMirror field from the
same register, or both.
When port-mirroring feature has been enabled, the SourcePort field from EEPROM’s PortMirrorConfig
register selects the monitored port while DestinationPort field from EEPROM’s PortMirrorConfig
register selects the monitoring port. The traffic on the monitored (mirror source) port will be forwarded to
the monitor port (mirror destination). Both ports can be any of the TC9205M’s ports.
If EnRxMirror field is set to ‘1’ then all the incoming traffic of the mirror source port will be simultaneously
forwarded towards its due destination and to the monitoring port. The bad CRC / undersized frames will
be filtered out.
If EnTxMirror field is set to ‘1’ then all the outgoing traffic of the mirror source port will be also forwarded
to the monitoring port.

Physical Layer Configuration / Polling
TC9205M embeds a Physical Layer MII Management configuration / polling entity which provides speed,
duplex, link status and link partner full duplex flow control ability information to the switch. This
information is obtained by continuously polling the status of Physical Layer devices through the serial
management interface. The entity is under control of EEPROM settings and it can operate in four
different modes. The polling entity also performs Phy configuration procedure at two seconds after reset
and each time EEPROM control information changes.
The following operating modes are available per port basis (selectable by ANMode field from EEPROM's
ConfigRegP[x]):
00 – Normal Mode (assumed by default when EEPROM is not present):In
this
mode
the
Auto-Negotiation Enable bit from MII Control Register (0.12) is checked first. If it is found enabled then
TC9205M will disable advertisement for 1000BASE-T half duplex technology (9.8) and will advertise
the full duplex flow control ability (4.10:11) according with internal flow control enable settings.
Auto-negotiation is restarted leaving unchanged the rest of technology advertisements. Then
Auto-Negotiation Advertisement register (4), Link Partner Base Page Ability register (5) and GMII
registers (9:10) are polled continuously at 2 seconds interval in order to execute highest common
denominator resolution. If auto-negotiation is disabled as reported by 0.12 then the switch will configure
itself using bits 0.13 and 0.8 of Control register, and will consider link partner full duplex flow control
capable. Gigabit speed will be disabled.
01 – Advertise one mode:
Auto-Negotiation Enable is checked and if found to be disabled
TC9205M will attempt to enable it. If successful the switch will force the port’s speed and duplex mode
by advertising only the technology corresponding to the Speed and Duplex fields from EEPROM's
ConfigRegP[x], otherwise bits 0.8 and 0.13 will be read for configuration and gigabit speed will be
disabled. Full duplex flow control ability is also advertised along with selected technology and then
auto-negotiation is restarted. An auto-negotiation register polling is executed as in Normal Mode.
10 – Advertise multiple modes:
This mode is similar with previous one except that it advertises
the technology corresponding to the forced mode and all lower position technologies, down to
10BASE-T half duplex.
11 – Disable Auto-Negotiation: When this mode is selected then auto-negotiation is disabled by
setting bit 0.12 to ‘0’ and the forced speed and duplex mode will be written to Configuration Register,
bits 0.13, 0.6 and 0.8. This mode is available only for 10/100 Mbps speed modes so bit 0.6 will always
be written as ‘0’. Link partner will be considered full duplex flow control capable.
In addition to the force mode feature, the TC9205M internal speed and duplex can be chosen between
enforced ones (Speed and Duplex fields from EEPROM's ConfigRegP[x]) and polling results by means
of ForceIntMode configuration.
Independently of Phy configuration/polling operation mode the Link Status is also permanently monitored.
If a Physical device reports link failure via 1.2 status bit then TC9205M disables transmission on
associated port without holding any memory resources allocated for its transmission queues. The
reported Link Status can be forced to ‘1’ using ForceLink bit from the same ConfigRegP[x] register.

Preliminary Data Sheet
10 EEPROM Interface
TC9205M can be configured using a serial EEPROM device type AT24C02A (2048 bits organized as 256
pages of 1 byte each). With this device the manufacturer can deliver a pre-configured system to their
customers while the customers can reconfigure the system and retain their preferences. TC9205M also
provides a virtual internal EEPROM mode, which enables the programming entity to write the
configuration data directly into the chip, without using the external EEPROM. In this mode the
configuration data is lost after reset procedures.
The TC9205M is able to operate without this device and can make effective use of its features using only
the pin configuration interface. The EEPROM configuration provides additional features and it can
override all pin interface settings offering a jumperless configuration mode. For this reason equivalent
EEPROM settings can be found for every configuration pin.
A validation bit is provided for each one of the EEPROM Configuration Registers. A dedicated Validation
Register is reserved for this purpose and corresponding bits from this register must be set in order to
enable the desired EEPROM configurations.
The EEPROM configuration information is accessed by the TC9205M after each reset procedure.
10.1
Reprogramming the EEPROM for reconfiguration
If the ‘Reset’ pin is hold low the TC9205M‘s EEPROM interface will go into high impedance state. This
feature enables easy reprogramming of the EEPROM during installation or reconfiguration.
The EEPROM can be reprogrammed using an external parallel port. A dedicated signal from this port
can be used to hold the RESET pin low. Once the TC9205M interface pins have got to the high
impedance state the EEPROM can be programmed by the parallel port trough the SDA and SCL pins.
To enable the AT24C02A device to be accessed by the TC9205M its page address input pins must be
hardwired to ‘0’. For virtual EEPROM mode the programming can be done using the same AT24C02A
byte write protocol but page address bits must be “100” (A2 downto A0).

FullBP
In normal operation the backpressure process is executed until flow control
condition disappears or until the time limit for backpressure is reached. This limit is
based on EEPROM’s BPTimeValue register. When this configuration is ‘0’ the
backpressure process will be also limited from exceeding the value contained in
BPMaxCol field.
Default value is its corresponding FullBP pin value.
BPMaxCol
Specifies the number of consecutive collisions that will determine TC9205M to quit
backpressure (see the setting above). Default is ‘011100’ (28).
BPSkip1
If FullBP setting is configured to ‘0’ and a number of BPMaxCol collisions is reached,
the MAC will ensure receiving the next packet without colliding it if this bit is set to ‘1’,
after which will resume the backpressure. Otherwise it will completely quit
backpressure waiting for a new XOFF command from internal flow control entity.
Default is ‘0’.
CarrBp
Setting this bit to ‘1’ will enable carrier-based backpressure, otherwise only
collision-based backpressure is executed. Default value is its corresponding

DisFwPres
Whenever backpressure is enabled, in case of extreme congestion (memory
overload) forward pressure is also executed unless deactivated by this bit. Forward
pressure is never executed when backpressure is disabled. Setting this bit to ‘1’ will
disable forward pressure for all half duplex ports. Default is ‘0’.
DisBPBk
Setting this bit to ‘1’ will cause no backoff to be executed when a half duplex port is
in backpressure mode. This means a new collision can be forced immediately after
the previous one if carrier sense is observed. Setting this bit to ‘0’ will enable a very
aggressive backoff to be executed (recommended). Default value is its
corresponding DisBPBk pin value.
FrcFdxFC
Setting this bit to ‘1’ will instruct TC9205M to disregard the auto-negotiation result
for the full duplex flow control ability. Link partner will be considered full duplex flow
control able. This setting is effective only for ports configured in 10/100 Mbps speed
modes. Default is ‘0’.
FrcFdxFCGb
Setting this bit to ‘1’ will instruct TC9205M to disregard the auto-negotiation result
for the full duplex flow control ability. Link partner will be considered able to execute
symmetric and asymmetric towards link partner full duplex flow control. This setting
is effective only for ports configured in 1000 Mbps speed mode. Default is ‘0’.
DirFCAdr
Setting this bit to ‘1’ will enable direct flow control addressing mechanism, otherwise
direct flow control addressing is disabled. Default is ‘0’.

Setting this field to ‘1’ will enable VLAN prioritization. CoS resolution function will
consider user-priority bits (TCI field) from 802.1Q VLAN Tag Header. Default value
is its corresponding EnVLANPr pin value.
CoSResolution
When this bit is set to ‘0’ the CoS resolution function will assign to each frame the
highest CoS obtained from all enabled prioritization sources.
Setting this field to ‘1’, the resolution function will perform a prioritized parsing of
CoS sources, depending of VLANPrec bit. The CoS will be assigned considering
the first source that has been found within the frame (VLAN or IP). If none of the
VLAN or IP prioritization sources have been found then the port based prioritization
is considered if enabled, otherwise the frame will be assigned the default CoS.
Default is ‘1’.
VLANPrec
If CoSResolution field is set to ‘0’, this field is meaningless. When CoSResolution
field is set to ‘1’, this field will set the prioritization sources precedence for the
resolution function. A value of ‘1’ will set the following precedence (from highest to
lowest): VLAN priority, IP priority, port priority. A value of ‘0’ will set the following
precedence (from highest to lowest): IP priority, VLAN priority, port priority. Default
is ‘0’.
DefCoS
This is the CoS a frame will receive when port based prioritization is disabled and
both VLAN and IP headers are not found (or the corresponding VLAN / IP
prioritizations are also disabled). This configuration can be used especially when
CoSResolution setting is ‘0’. Default is “01” (CoS 1).

The write operation is then started by performing a write to IOControl register with bit 0 set.
Subsequently, the IOControl register needs to be monitored in order to detect MDIO operation error
reported via IOControl’s bit 2. The ValidDataRead bit is always read as ‘1’ unless the EEPROM line is
driven at over 1MHz speed. If no error occurred then data can be read from DataReadReg.
