MERR
RINT
This bit is always read/write ac-
cessible. MISS is cleared by the
host by writing a 1. Writing a 0
has no effect. MISS is cleared
by H_RESET, S_RESET, or by
setting the STOP bit.
When MERR is set, INTA is as-
serted if IENA is 1 and the mask
bit MERRM (CSR3, bit 11) is 0.
MERR assertion will set the ERR
bit, regardless of the settings of
IENA and MERRM.
This bit is always read/write ac-
cessible. MERR is cleared by the
host by writing a 1. Writing a 0
has no effect. MERR is cleared
by H_RESET, S_RESET, or by
setting the STOP bit.
When RINT is set, INTA is assert-
ed if IENA is 1 and the mask bit
RINTM (CSR3, bit 10) is 0.
This bit is always read/write ac-
cessible. RINT is cleared by the
host by writing a 1. Writing a 0
has no effect. RINT is cleared
by H_RESET, S_RESET, or by
setting the STOP bit.
Memory Error. Memory Error is
set by the Am79C978A controller
when it requests the use of the
system interface bus by asserting
REQ and has not received GNT
assertion after a programmable
length of time. The length of time
in microseconds before MERR is
asserted will depend upon the
setting of the Bus Timeout Regis-
ter (CSR100). The default setting
of CSR100 will give a MERR after
153.6 ms of bus latency.
Receive Interrupt is set by the
Am79C978A controller after the
last descriptor of a receive frame
has been update by writing a 0 to
the ownership bit (OWN). RINT
may also be set when the first de-
scriptor of a receive frame has
been updated by writing a 0 to the
ownership bit if the LAPPEN bit of
CSR3 has been set to a 1.

TINT
IDON
INTR
Am79C978A controller after the
OWN bit in the last descriptor of a
transmit frame has been cleared
to indicate the frame has been
sent or an error occurred in the
transmission.
When TINT is set, INTA is assert-
ed if IENA is 1 and the mask bit
TINTM (CSR3, bit 9) is 0.
TINT will not be set if TINTOKD
(CSR5, bit 15) is set to 1 and the
transmission was successful.
This bit is always read/write ac-
cessible. TINT is cleared by the
host by writing a 1. Writing a 0
has no effect. TINT is cleared by
H_RESET, S_RESET, or by
setting the STOP bit.
Am79C978A controller after the
initialization sequence has com-
pleted. When IDON is set, the
Am79C978A controller has read
the
memory.
When IDON is set, INTA is as-
serted if IENA is 1 and the mask
bit IDONM (CSR3, bit 8) is 0.
This bit is always read/write ac-
cessible. IDON is cleared by the
host by writing a 1. Writing a 0
has no effect. IDON is cleared by
H_RESET, S_RESET, or by set-
ting the STOP bit.
or more following interrupt caus-
ing conditions has occurred:
EXDINT, IDON, MERR, MISS,
MFCO, RCVCCO, RINT, SINT,
TINT, TXSTRT, UINT, STINT,
MREINT, MCCINT, MIIPDTINT,
MAPINT and the associated
mask or enable bit is pro-
grammed to allow the event to
cause an interrupt. If IENA is set
to 1 and INTR is set, INTA will be
active. When INTR is set by SINT
or SLPINT, INTA will be active in-
dependent of the state of IENA.
