DATASHEET

In that case TXENA will be cleared and the CPU should restart the transmission by setting it again. If a

transmission is successful, TXENA stays set and the CSMA/CD is provided by the DMA block with the

next packet to be transmitted.

For receive, the CPU sets RXEN as a way of starting the CSMA/CD block receive process. The CSMA/CD

block will send data after address filtering through the data path to the DMA block. Data is transferred into

memory as it is received, and the final check on data acceptance is the CRC checking done by the

CSMA/CD block. In any case, the DMA takes care of requesting/releasing memory for receive packets, as

well as generating the byte count.

The receive status word is provided by the CSMA/CD block and written in the first location of the receive

structure by the DMA block. If configured for storing CRC in memory, the CSMA/CD unit will transfer the

CRC bytes through the DMA interface, and then will be treated like regular data bytes.

Note that the receive status word of any packet is available only through memory and is not readable

through any other register. In order to let the CPU know about receive overruns, the RX_OVRN INT is set

and latched in the Interrupt Status Register, which is readable by the CPU at any time.

The address filtering is done inside the CSMA/CD block. A packet will be received if the destination

address is broadcast, or if it is addressed to the individual address of the LAN91C96, or if it is a multicast

address and ALMUL bit is set, or if it is a multicast address matching one of the multicast table entries. If

the PRMS bit is set, all packets are received. The CSMA/CD block is a full duplex machine, and when

working in full duplex mode, the CSMA/CD block will be simultaneously using its data path transmit and

receive interfaces.

Statistical counters are kept by the CSMA/CD block, and are readable through the appropriate register.

The counters are four bits each, and can generate an interrupt when reaching their maximum values.

Software can use that interrupt to update statistics in memory, or it can keep the counter interrupt disabled,

while relying on the transmit interrupt routine reading the counters. Given that the counters can increment

only once per transmit, this technique is a good complement for the single interrupt per sequence strategy.

The interface between the CSMA/CD block and memory is word oriented. Two bi-directional FIFOs make

the data path interface.

Whenever a normal collision occurs (less than 16 retries), the CSMA/CD will trigger the backoff logic and

will indicate the DMA logic of the collision. The DMA is responsible for restarting the data transfer into the

CSMA/CD block regardless of whether the collision happened on the preamble or not.

Only when 16 retries are reached, the CSMA/CD block will clear the TXENA bit, and CPU intervention is

required. The DMA will not automatically restart data transfer in this case, nor will it transmit the next

enqueued packet until TXENA is set by the CPU. The DMA will move the packet number in question from

the TX FIFO into the TX completion FIFO.

Network Interface

The LAN91C96 includes both an AUI interface for thick and thin coax applications and a 10BASE-T

interface for twisted pair applications. Functions common to both are:

Manchester encoder/decoder to convert NRZ data to Manchester encoded data and back.

A 32ms jabber timer to prevent inadvertently long transmissions. When 'jabbing' occurs, the

transmitter is disabled, automatic loopback is disabled (in 10BASE-T mode), and a collision indication

is given to the controller. The interface 'unjabs' when the transmitter has been idle for a minimum of

256 ms.

A phase-lock loop to recover data and clock from the Manchester data stream with up to plus or minus

18ns of jitter.

Diagnostic loopback capability.
