The EMAC module implements a 10/100 Ethernet MAC compatible with the IEEE 802.3 standard using an address
checker, statistics and control registers, receive and transmit blocks, and a DMA interface.

The address checker recognizes four specific 48-bit addresses and contains a 64-bit hash register for matching
multicast and unicast addresses. It can recognize the broadcast address of all ones, copy all frames, and act on an
external address match signal.

The statistics register block contains registers for counting various types of event associated with transmit and
receive operations. These registers, along with the status words stored in the receive buffer list, enable software to
generate network management statistics compatible with IEEE 802.3.

• Compatibility with IEEE Standard 802.3

• 10 and 100 MBits per second data throughput capability

• Full- and half-duplex operations

• MII or RMII interface to the physical layer

• Register Interface to address, data, status and control registers

• DMA Interface, operating as a master on the Memory Controller

• Interrupt generation to signal receive and transmit completion

• 128-byte transmit and 128-byte receive FIFOs

• Automatic pad and CRC generation on transmitted frames

• Address checking logic to recognize four 48-bit addresses

• Supports promiscuous mode where all valid frames are copied to memory

• Supports physical layer management through MDIO interface 

• Supports Wake-on-LAN. The receiver supports Wake-on-LAN by detecting the following events on incoming 

receive frames:

– Magic packet

– ARP request to the device IP address

– Specific address 1 filter match

– Multicast hash filter match
