The LAN9312 contains four host-accessible FIFO’s: TX Status, RX Status, TX Data, and RX Data.
These FIFO’s store the incoming and outgoing address and data information, acting as a conduit
between the host bus interface (HBI) and the Host MAC. The sizes of these FIFO’s are configurable
via the
Configuration," on page 121
For additional information on the FIFO configuration registers accessible via the Host Bus Interface,
refer to their respective register definitions located in section
TX/RX Data FIFO’s
The TX and RX Data FIFO ports have the base address of 020h and 000h respectively. However, each
FIFO is also accessible at seven additional contiguous memory locations, as can be seen in
Figure
they all function identically and contain the same data. This alias port addressing is implemented to
allow hosts to burst through sequential addresses.
TX/RX Status FIFO’s
The TX and RX Status FIFO’s can each be read from two register locations; the Status FIFO Port, and
the Status FIFO PEEK. The TX and RX Status FIFO Ports (048h and 040h respectively) will perform
a destructive read, popping the data from the TX or RX Status FIFO. The TX and RX Status FIFO
PEEK register locations (04Ch and 044h respectively) allow a non-destructive read of the top (oldest)
location of the FIFO’s.
Direct FIFO Access Mode
When the FIFO_SEL pin is driven high, the LAN9312 enters the direct FIFO access mode. In this
mode, all host write operations are to the TX Data FIFO and all host read operations are from the RX
Data FIFO. When FIFO_SEL is asserted, only the A[2] host address signal is decoded. All other
address signals are ignored in this mode. When the endianess select pin (END_SEL) is low, the TX/RX
Data FIFO’s are accessed in little endian mode. When END_SEL is high, the TX/RX Data FIFO’s are
accessed in big endian mode. The A[2] input is used during Data FIFO direct PIO burst cycles to
delimit DWORD accesses. For more information on endianess selection, refer to section
"Host
TX/RX FIFO Ports
Endianess".
