DATASHEET

Per Table 6.1, the following cases are possible:

Case 1 - Auto-negotiation is still in progress. Since the result is not yet established, flow control is

disabled.

Case 2 - Auto-negotiation is enabled and unsuccessful (link partner not Auto-negotiation capable).

The link partner ability is undefined, effectively a don’t-care value, in this case. The duplex setting

will default to half-duplex in this case. Flow control is determined by the BP_EN_x bit.

Case 3 - Auto-negotiation is enabled and successful with half-duplex as a result. The link partner

ability is undefined since it only applies to full-duplex operation. Flow control is determined by the

BP_EN_x bit.

Cases 4-11 -Auto-negotiation is enabled and successful with full-duplex as the result. In these

cases, the advertisement registers and the link partner ability controls the RX and TX enables.

These cases match IEEE 802.3 Annex 28B.3.

Cases 4,5,6,8,10 - No flow control enabled

Case 7 - Asymmetric pause towards partner (away from switch port)

Case 9 - Symmetric pause

Case 11 - Asymmetric pause from partner (towards switch port)

10/100 Ethernet MACs

The Switch Fabric contains three 10/100 MAC blocks, one for each switch port (0,1,2). The 10/100

MAC provides the basic 10/100 Ethernet functionality, including transmission deferral and collision

back-off/retry, receive/transmit FCS checking and generation, receive/transmit pause flow control, and

transmit back pressure. The 10/100 MAC also includes RX and TX FIFOs and per port statistic

counters.

6.3.1

Receive MAC

The receive MAC (IEEE 802.3) sublayer decomposes Ethernet packets acquired via the internal MII

interface by stripping off the preamble sequence and Start of Frame Delimiter (SFD). The receive MAC

checks the FCS, the MAC Control Type, and the byte count against the drop conditions. The packet

is stored in the RX FIFO as it is received.

The receive MAC determines the validity of each received packet by checking the Type field, FCS, and

oversize or undersize conditions. All bad packets will be either immediately dropped or marked (at the

end) as bad packets.

Oversized packets are normally truncated at 1519 or 1523 (VLAN tagged) octets and marked as

erroneous. The MAC can be configured to accept packets up to 2048 octets (inclusive), in which case

the oversize packets are truncated at 2048 bytes and marked as erroneous.

Undersized packets are defined as packets with a length less than the minimum packet size. The

minimum packet size is defined to be 64 bytes, exclusive of preamble sequence and SFD.

The FCS and length/type fields of the frame are checked to detect if the packet has a valid MAC

control frame. When the MAC receives a MAC control frame with a valid FCS and determines the

operation code is a pause command (Flow Control frame), the MAC will load its internal pause counter

with the Number_of_Slots variable from the MAC control frame just received. Anytime the internal

pause counter is zero, the transmit MAC will be allowed to transmit (XON). If the internal pause counter

is not zero, the receive MAC will not allow the transmit MAC to transmit (XOFF). When the transmit

MAC detects an XOFF condition it will continue to transmit the current packet, terminating transmission

after the current packet has been transmitted until receiving the XON condition from the receive MAC.

The pause counter will begin to decrement at then end of the current transmission, or immediately if

no transmission is underway. If another pause command is received while the transmitter is already in

pause, the new pause time indicated by the Flow Control packet will be loaded into the pause counter.

The pause function is enabled by either Auto-negotiation, or manually as discussed in Section 6.2.3,
