General Description

The KSZ8 851SNL is a single-chip Fast Ethernet controller

consisting of a 10/100 physical layer transceiver (PHY), a

MAC, and a Serial Peripheral Interface (SPI). The

KSZ8851SNL is designed to enable an Ethernet network

connectivity with any host micro-controller equipped with

SPI interface. The KSZ8851SNL offers the most cost-

effective solution for adding high-throughput Ethernet link

to traditional embedded systems with SPI interface.

The KSZ8851SNL is a single chip, mixed analog/digital

device offering Wake-on-LAN technology for effectively

addressin g Fast Ether net a pplicati ons. It consis ts of a Fas t

Ethernet MAC controller, SPI interface and incorporates a

unique dynamic memory pointer with 4-byte buffer

boundar y and a f ully utili zable 18KB f or both TX (alloc ated

6KB) and RX (allocated 12KB) directions in host buffer

interface.

The KSZ8851SNL is designed to be fully compliant with

the appropriate IEEE 802.3 standards. An industrial

temperature-grade version of the KSZ8851SNL, the

KSZ8851 SN LI is als o a va il able ( s ee “O r dering Inform atio n”

section).

LinkMD®

Physical signal transmission and reception are enhanced

through the use of analog circuitry, making the design

more efficient and allowing for lower-power consumption.

The KSZ8851SNL is designed using a low-power CMOS

process that features a single 3.3V power supply with

options for 1.8V, 2.5V or 3.3V VDD I/O. The device

includes an extensive feature set that offers management

information base (MIB) counters and a fast SPI interface

with clock speed up to 40MHz.

The KSZ8851SNL includes unique cable diagnostics

feature c alled Link MD®. This feature determ ines the length

of the cablin g plant and also ascertains if there is an open

or short condition in the cable. Accompanying software

enables the cable length and cable conditions to be

conveniently displayed. In addition, the KSZ8851SNL

supports Hewlett Packard (HP) Auto-MDIX thereby

eliminating the need to differentiate between straight or

crossover cables in applications.

Pin Description

Pin Number Pin Name Type Pin Function

1 LED0 Opu

Programmable LED output to indicate PHY activity/status.

LED is ON when output is LOW; LED is OFF when output is HIGH.

LED indicators1 defined as follows:

Chip Global Control Register: CGCR bit [9]

0 (Default) 1

LED1 (pin 32) 100BT ACT

LED0 (pin 1) LINK/ACT LINK

Link (up) = LED On; Activity = LED Blink; Link/Act = LED On/Blink;

Speed = LED On (100BASE-T); LED Off (10BASE-T)

2 PME Opu Power Management Event (default acti ve low)

It is asserted (low or high depends on polarity set in PMECR register) when one of the

wake-on-LAN events is detected by KSZ8851SNL. The KSZ8851SNL is requesting the

system to wake up from low power mode.

Functional Description

The KSZ8851SNL is a single-chip Fast Ethernet MAC/PHY controller consisting of a 10/100 physical layer transceiver

(PHY), a MAC, and an indu str y standard Ser ial Periph eral Inter fac e (SPI) . T he h ost CPU is via SPI int erf ace to rea d/ write

KSZ8851SNL internal registers either byte (8-bit), word (16-bit) or double word (32-bit) and to access KSZ8851SNL

RXQ/TXQ FIFOs for packet receive/transmit.

The KSZ8851SNL is fully compliant to IEEE802.3u standards.

Functional Overview

Power Management

The KSZ8851SNL supports enhanced power management feature in low power state with energy detection to ensure low-

power dissipation during device idle periods. There are four operation modes under the power management function

which is controlled by two bits in PMECR (0xD4) register as shown below:

PMECR[1: 0] = 00 Norm al O per ation Mod e

PMECR[1:0] = 01 Energy Detect Mode

PMECR[1:0] = 10 Soft Power Down Mode

PMECR[1 :0] = 11 Po wer S aving Mo de

Table 1 indicates all internal function blocks status under four different power management operation modes.

Power Management Operation Modes KSZ8851SNL

Function Blocks Normal mode Power saving mode Energy detect mode Soft power down mode

Internal PLL Clock Enabled Enabled Disabled Disabled

Tx/Rx PHY Enabled Rx unused block disabled Energy detect at Rx Disabled

MAC Enabled Enabled Disabled Disabled

SPI Interface Enabled Enabled Disabled Disabled

Table 1. Internal Function Blocks Status

Normal Operation Mode

This is the default setting bit[1:0]=00 in PMECR register after the chip power-up or hardware reset (pin 67). When

KSZ8851SN L is in this nor m al operation mode, all PLL clocks are running, PH Y and MAC are on and the h ost interface is

ready for CPU read or write.

During the normal operation mode, the host CPU can set the bit[1:0] in PMECR register to transit the current normal

operation mode to any one of the other three power management operation modes.

Energy Detect Mode

The energy detect mode provides a mechanism to save more power than in the normal operation mode when the

KSZ8851SNL is not connected to an active link partner. For example, if cable is not present or it is connected to a

powered down partner, the KSZ8851SNL can automatically enter to the low power state in energy detect mode. Once

activity resum es due t o p lu ggi ng a cable or att empting b y the f ar end to es t ab lis h link, the K SZ 88 51 SNL ca n autom atic all y

power up to normal power state in energy detect mode.

Energy detect mode consists of two states, normal power state and low power state. While in low power state, the

KSZ8851 SNL reduces po wer consum ption by disab ling all circ uitry except the en ergy detect circ uitry of the rec eiver. The

energy detect mode is entered by setting bit[1:0]=01 in PMECR register. When the KSZ8851SNL is in this mode, it will

monitor the cable energy. If there is no energy on the cable for a time longer than pre-configured value at bit[7:0] Go-

Sleep time in G SWUT R r egister , K SZ8851SNL will go into a lo w po wer s tat e. When KSZ8851SN L is in lo w power st at e, it

will keep monitoring the cable energy. Once the energy is detected from the cable and is continuously presented for a

time longer than pre-configured value at bit[15:8] W ake-Up time in GSW UTR register, the KSZ8851SNL will enter either

the normal power state if the auto-wakeup enable bit[7] is set in PMECR register or the normal operation mode if both

auto-wak eup ena bl e bit[7] and wak eup to normal operatio n m ode bit[6] are set in PM ECR regis ter .

Micre l, Inc. KSZ8851SNL/SNLI

August 2009 14 M9999-083109-2.0

The KSZ8851SNL will also assert PME output pin if the corresponding enable bit[8] is set in PMECR (0xD4) register or

generate in ter rupt to s ig na l an energy detect eve nt oc c urr ed if the c orr es pondin g e nab le bit [2] is s et in IER (0x90) regis ter .

Once the po wer management un it detects the PME o utput asserted or interrupt ac tive, it will power up th e host CPU and

issue a wakeup command which is any one of registers read or write access to wake up the KSZ8851SNL from the low

power stat e to the n orm al po wer state in case t he a uto-wak eup enab le bit[ 7] is d is abled. When KSZ8 851SNL is at nor m al

power state, it is able to transmit or receive packet from the cable.

Soft Power Down Mode

The soft power down mode is entered by setting bit[1:0]=10 in PMECR register. When KSZ8851SNL is in this mode, all

PLL cloc ks are disable d, the PHY an d the MAC are of f, all intern al registers v alue will not c hange, and the host interf ace

is only used to wake-up this device from current soft power down mode to normal operation mode.

In order to go back the normal operation mode from this soft power down mode, the only way to leave this mode is

through a host wake-up command which the CPU issues any one of registers read or write access.

Power Saving Mode

The power saving mode is entered when auto-negotiation mode is enabled, cable is disconnected, and by setting

bit[1:0]=1 1 in PMECR register and bit [10]=1 in P1S CL MD register. When KSZ885 1SNL is in this m ode, all PLL clocks are

enabled, M AC is on, all internal r egisters value will not change, and host interface is ready for CPU read or write. In this

mode, it mainly controls the PHY transceiver on or off based on line status to achieve power saving. The PHY remains

transm itting and on ly turns off the unused r eceiver b lock. Once activi ty resum es due to plugg ing a cab le or attempting by

the far end to establish link, the KSZ8851SNL can automatically enabled the PHY power up to normal power state from

power saving mode.

During this p ower savin g mode, the hos t CPU can pr ogram the bit[1:0] in PMECR r egister and s et bit[10]=0 in P1SCLMD

Wake-on-LAN

Wake-up frame events are used to wake the system whenever meaningful data is presented to the system over the

network. Examples of meaningful data include the reception of a Magic Packet, a management request from a remote

adminis trator, or sim ply network tr affic dir ectly target ed to the loc al s ystem. In all o f thes e instanc es, the networ k device is

pre-programmed by the policy owner or other software with information on how to identify wake frames from other network

traffic. The KSZ8851SNL controller can be programmed to notify the host of the wake-up frame detection with the

assertion of the interrupt signal (INTRN) or assertion of the power management event signal (PME).

A wake-up event is a request for hardware and/or software external to the network device to put the system into a

powered state (working).

A wake-up signal is caused by:

1. Detection of energy signal over a pre-configured value (bit 2 in ISR register)

2. Detection of a linkup in the network link state (bit 3 in ISR register)

3. Receipt of a Magic Packet (bit 4 in ISR register)

4. Receipt of a network wake-up frame (bit 5 in ISR register)

There ar e als o oth er types of wak e- up e ve nts tha t are not lis te d here as manufac tur ers m a y choose to implement these in

their own wa y.

Detection of Energy

The energy is detected from the cable and is continuously presented for a time longer than pre-configured value,

especially when this energy change may impact the level at which the system should re-enter to the normal power state.

Detection of Linkup

Link status wake events are useful to indicate a linkup in the network’s connectivity status.

Wake-up Packet

Wake-up packets are certain types of packets with specific CRC values that a system recognizes as a ‘wake up’ frame.

The KSZ8851SNL supports up to four users defined wake-up frames as below:

1. Wake-up fram e 0 is defined in wakeup frame registers (0x30 – 0x3B) a nd is enabled by bit 0 in wak eup frame control

2. Wake-up fram e 1 is defined in wakeup frame registers (0x40 – 0x4B) a nd is enabled by bit 1 in wak eup frame control

3. Wake-up fram e 2 is defined in wakeup frame registers (0x50 – 0x5B) a nd is enabled by bit 2 in wak eup frame control

4. Wake-up fram e 3 is defined in wakeup frame registers (0x60 – 0x6B) a nd is enabled by bit 3 in wak eup frame control

Magic Packet

Magic Packet technology is used to remotely wake up a sleeping or powered off PC on a LAN. This is accom plished by

sending a specific packet of inf ormation, called a Magic Packet frame, to a node on th e network. W hen a PC capable of

receivin g the spec if ic f r am e goes to sleep, it e na bles th e Ma gic Packet RX mode in th e L AN c o ntr o ller, and when the L AN

controller receives a Magic Packet frame, it will alert the system to wake up.

Magic Pac k et is a s tand ar d f eatur e integrated i nto the KSZ8851 SNL. The c ontr o ll er implements m ultipl e a dvanc ed po wer -

down modes including Magic Packet to conserve power and operate more efficiently.

Once the KSZ8851SNL has been put into Magic Packet Enable mode (WFCR[7]=1), it scans all incoming frames

addressed to the node for a specific data sequence, which indicates to the controller this is a Magic Packet (MP) frame.

A Magic Packet frame must also meet the basic requirements for the LAN technology chosen, such as Source Address

(SA), Destination Address (DA), which may be the receiving station’s IEEE address or a multicast or broadcast address

and CRC.

The specific sequence consists of 16 duplications of the IE EE address of this node, with no break s or interruptions. This

sequence can be located anywhere within the packet, but must be preceded by a synchronization stream. The

synchron ization stream allows th e scanning s tate machin e to be muc h simpler. T he synchroniza tion stream is define d as

6 bytes of FFh. The device will a lso accept a broa dcast fram e, as long as the 16 duplicati ons of the IEEE a ddress match

the address of the machine to be awakened.

Example:

If the IEEE address for a particular node on a network is 11h 22h, 33h, 44h, 55h, 66h, the LAN controller would be

scanning for the data sequence (assuming an Ethernet frame):

DESTINAT ION SOURCE – MI SC - FF FF FF FF FF FF - 11 22 33 44 55 66 - 11 22 33 44 55 66 - 11 22 33 44 55 66 -

11 22 33 44 55 66 - 11 22 33 44 55 66 - 11 22 33 44 55 66 - 11 22 33 44 55 66 - 11 22 33 44 55 66 - 11 22 33 44 55 66 -

11 22 33 44 55 66 - MISC - CRC.

There ar e no fur ther restric tions on a Magic Pack et fram e. For instance, the sequ ence could be in a TCP/IP pack et or an

IPX pack et. The fr ame m ay be bridged or routed acr oss the net work without af fecting its a bility to wak e-up a node at th e

frame’s destination.

If the LAN contr oll er sc ans a fr ame and does not find t he specif ic s equence s how n above, it disc ards the f ram e and tak es

no further action. If the KSZ8851SNL controller detects the data sequence, however, it then alerts the PC’s power

management circuitry (assert the PME pin) to wake up the system.

100BA SE-TX Transmi t

The 100BASE-T X transmit function performs parallel-to-serial conversion, 4B/5B coding, scrambling, NRZ-to-NRZI conversion,

and ML T3 encodin g a nd t ransmissi on .

The circuitry starts with a parallel-to-serial conversion, which converts the MII data from the MAC into a 125MHz serial bit

strea m. The data and con trol st re am i s then conve rted into 4B/5B co ding , follow ed by a scramble r. Th e se rializ ed data is fu rthe r

converted from NRZ-to-NRZI format, and then transmitted in MLT3 current output. An external 3.01kΩ (1%) resistor is

connected to pin 17 (ISET) fo r the 1: 1 transfo rmer ratio sets the outp ut cur rent.

The output signal has a typical rise/fall time of 4ns and complies with the ANSI TP-PMD standard regarding amplitude balance,

ove rshoot , and timing ji tte r. Th e wave -shape d 10BASE -T outp ut d river i s al so in co rporated in to the 100B ASE -TX drive r.

Sinc e the amplit ude loss and phase d istort ion is a funct ion of the ca ble length , the equ alizer has to adj ust its c haract eristic s to

optimize performance. In this design, the variable equalizer makes an initial estimation based on comparisons of incoming

signal strength against some known cable characteristics, and then tunes itself for optimization. This is an ongoing process and

self-adjusts against environmental changes such as temperature variations.

Next, the equalized signal goes through a DC restoration and data conversion block. The DC restoration circuit is used to

compensate for the effect of baseline wander and to improve the dynamic range. The differential data conversion circuit

converts the MLT3 format back to NRZI. The slicing threshold is also adaptive.

The c lock rec over y circu it extrac ts the 125MHz clock f rom th e edges of the NRZI si gnal. T his rec overed c lock i s then used to

convert the NRZI signal into the NRZ format. This signal is sent through the de-scrambler followed by the 4B/5B decoder.

Finally , the NRZ serial dat a is converted to an MII for mat and provid ed as the inpu t data to the MAC.

Scramb ler/D e-scram bler (10 0BASE- TX only)

The purpose of the scrambler is to spread the power spectrum of the signal to reduce electromagnetic interference (EMI) and

baseli ne w ande r .

Transmitted data is scrambled through the use of an 11-bit wide linear feedback shift register (LFSR). The scrambler generates

10BASE-T Transmit

The 10BASE-T driver is incorporated with the 100BASE-TX driver to allow for transmission using the same magnetics. They

are internally wave-shaped and pre-emphasized into outputs with typical 2.4V amplitude. The harmonic contents are at least

27dB bel ow th e fun da ment al fre que n cy w hen d riven by an all-ones Ma n cheste r -en coded sign al.

10BASE-T Receive

On the receive side, input buffers and level detecting squelch circuits are employed. A differential input receiver circuit and a

phase-locked loop (PLL) perform the decoding function.

The Manchester-encoded data stream is separated into clock signal and NRZ data. A squelc h circuit rejects signals with levels

less than 400mV or with short pulse widths to prevent noise at the RXP or RXM input from falsely triggering the decoder. When

the input exceeds the squelch limit, the PLL locks onto the incoming signal and the KSZ8851SNL dec odes a data frame. The

receiver clock is maintained active during idle periods in between data reception.

MDI/MDI-X Auto Crossover

To elim inate the need f or cros sover cab les between sim ilar devic es, the KSZ885 1SNL sup ports HP- Auto M DI/MDI-X a nd

IEEE 802.3u standard MDI/MDI-X auto crossover. HP-Auto MDI/MDI-X is the default.

The auto-s ens e f unc tio n de tect s r em ote trans mit and recei ve pa irs and c orr ec tly assigns the tr ansmit and receive pair s f or

Auto Negotiation

The KSZ8851SNL conforms to the auto negotiation protocol as described by the 802.3 committee to allow the port to

operate at either 10Base-T or 100Base-TX.

Auto negot iation a llows u nshielded twis ted pair ( UTP) li nk partners to sele ct the bes t comm on mode of oper ation. In a uto

negotiat ion, th e link partners advert ise capab ilit ies acr oss the link to eac h other . If auto negot iatio n is not su pporte d or the

link partner to the KSZ8851SNL is forced to bypass auto negotiation, the mode is set by observing the signal at the

receiver. This is known as parallel mode because while the transmitter is sending auto negotiation advertisements, the

receiver is listening for advertisements or a fixed signal protocol.

LinkMD® Cable Diagnostics

The KSZ8851SNL LinkMD® uses time domain reflectometry (TDR) to analyze the cabling plant for common cabling

problems such as open circuits, short circuits, and impedance mismatches.

LinkMD® works by sending a pulse of known amplitude and duration down the MDI and MDI-X pairs and then analyzes

the shape of the reflected signal. Timing the pulse duration gives an indication of the distance to the cabling fault with a

maximum distance of 200m and an accuracy of ±2m. Internal circuitry displays the TDR information in a user-readable

digital format in register P1SCLMD[8:0].

Note: cable diagnostics are only valid for copper connections – fiber-optic operation is not supported.

Access

LinkMD® is initiated by accessing register P1SCLMD, the PHY special control/status and LinkMD® register (0xF4).

Micre l, Inc. KSZ8851SNL/SNLI

August 2009 20 M9999-083109-2.0

Usage

LinkMD® can be run at any time by ensuring that Auto-MDIX has been disabled. To disable Auto-MDIX, write a ‘1’ to

P1CR[10] to enable manual control over the pair used to transmit the LinkMD® pulse. The self-clearing cable diagnostic

test enable bit, P1SCLMD [12], is set to ‘1’ to start the test on this pair.

When bit P1SCLMD[12] returns to ‘0’, the test is complete. The test result is returned in bits P1SCLMD[14:13] and the

distance is returned in bits P1SCLMD[8:0]. The cable diagnostic test results are as follows:

00 = Valid test, normal condition

01 = Valid test, open circuit in cable

10 = Valid test, short circuit in cable

11 = Invalid test, LinkMD® failed

If P1SCLMD[14:13] =11, this indicates an invalid test, and occurs when the KSZ8851SNL is unable to shut down the link

partner. In t his insta nce, t he tes t is not run, as i t is not pos sible f or th e KSZ8 851S NL to det erm ine if the det ec ted sig nal is

a reflection of the signal generated or a signal from another source.

Cable distance can be approximated by the following formula:

P1SCLMD[8:0] x 0.4m for port 1 cable distance

This constant m ay be calibrated f or diff erent cabling c onditi ons, inclu ding cab les with a v elocity of propagati on that varies

significantly from the norm.

Media Access Control (MAC) Operation

The KSZ8851SNL strictly abides by IEEE 802.3 standards to maximize compatibility.

Inter Packet Gap (IPG)

If a frame is successfully transmitted, then the minimum 96-bit time for IPG is measured between two consecutive

packets. If the current packet is experiencing collisions, the m inimum 96-bit time for IPG is m easured from carrier sense

(CRS) to the next transmit packet.

Back-Off Algorithm

The KSZ8851SNL implements the IEEE standard 802.3 binary exponential back-off algorithm in half-duplex mode. After

16 collisions, the packet is dropped.

Late Collision

If a transmit packet experiences collisions after 512 bit times of the transmission, the packet is dropped.

Flow Control

The KSZ8851SNL supports standard 802.3x flow control frames on both transmit and receive sides.

On the receive side, if the KSZ8851SNL receives a pause control frame, the KSZ8851SNL will not transmit the next

normal frame until the timer, specified in the pause control frame, expires. If another pause frame is received before the

current tim er expires , the timer will be updated with the new valu e in the second pause f rame. During this period (while it

is flow controlled), only flow control packets from the KSZ8851SNL are transmitted.

On the transmit side, the KSZ8851SNL has intelligent and efficient ways to determine when to invoke flow control. The

flow control is based on availability of the system resources.

There are three programmable low watermark register FCLWR (0xB0), high watermark register FCHWR (0xB2) and

overrun watermark register FCOWR (0xB4) for flow control in RXQ FIFO. The KSZ8851SNL will send PAUSE frame

when the RX Q buffer hit the high waterm ark level ( default 3.0 72 KByte a vailable) and s top PAUS E frame when t he RXQ

buff er hit the low wat ermark level (defau lt 5.12 KB yte availab le). The KSZ 8851S NL will drop pac ket when t he RXQ buf fer

hit the overrun watermark level (default 256-Byte available).

The KSZ8851SNL issues a flow control frame (Xoff, or transmitter off), containing the maximum pause time defined in

IEEE sta ndard 802.3x. Once the r esour c e is f reed up , the KSZ8 851 SNL sen ds out the ano ther flow c ontro l f r ame (Xon, or

transmitter on) with zero pause time to turn off the flow control (turn on transmission to the port). A hysteresis feature is

provided to prevent the flow control mechanism from being constantly activated and deactivated.

Half-Duplex Backpressure

A half-duplex backpressure option (non-IEEE 802.3 standards) is also provided. The activation and deactivation

conditions are the sam e as in full-duplex mode. If backpressure is required, the KSZ8851SNL sends preambles to defer

the other stations' transmission (carrier sense deference).

To avoid jabber and excessive deference (as defined in the 802.3 standard), after a certain time, the KSZ8851SNL

discontinues the carrier sense and then raises it again quickly. This short silent time (no carrier sense) prevents other

stations from sending out pack ets thus keepin g other statio ns in a carr ier sense def erred state. If the port has packets to

send during a backpressure situation, the carrier sense type backpressure is interrupted and those packets are

transmitted instead. If there are no additional packets to send, carrier sense type backpressure is reactivated again until

chip resources free up. If a collision occurs, the binary exponential back-off algorithm is skipped and carrier sense is

generated immediately, thus reducing the chance of further collision and carrier sense is maintained to prevent packet

reception.

Address Filtering Function

The KSZ8851SNL supports 11 different address filtering schemes as shown in the following Table 3. The Ethernet

destination address (DA) field inside the packet is the first 6-byte field which uses to compare with either the host MAC

address registers (0x10 – 0x15) or the MAC address hash table registers (0xA0 – 0xA7) for address filtering operation.

The f irst bit ( bit 40) of the des tinatio n addr ess ( DA) in the E thernet p ack et dec ides whether th is is a ph ysica l addr ess if bit

40 is “0” or a multicast address if bit 40 is “1”.

Serial Peripheral Interface (SPI)

The KSZ8 851 SNL s upport s a S PI int erf ace in slave mode. In this m ode, a exter nal SPI m as ter devic e (m icro-c ontroller or

CPU) supplies the operating serial clock (SCLK), chip select (CSN) and serial input data (SI) which is clocked in on the

rising edge of SCL K to K SZ8851SN L de vic e. Ser ial output dat a ( SO) is driv en ou t b y the KSZ 885 1S NL on the f alling edg e

of SCLK to exter nal SPI master device. The f alling edge of CSN is starting the SPI oper ation and the risin g edge of CSN

is ending the SPI operation. The SCLK stays low state when SPI operation is idle. Figure 6 shows the SPI interface

connection for KSZ8851SNL.

Figure 6. SPI Interface to KSZ8851SNL

There are four SPI operations depending on the opcode inside the command phase:

• Internal I/O registers read (opcode = 00)

• Internal I/O registers write (opcode = 01)

• RXQ FIFO read to receive packet (opcode = 10)

• TXQ FIFO write to transmit packet (opcode = 11)

As sho wn in Tab le 4 and 5 , there are t wo phases in each SPI operation, the first is comm and phase and the follo wing is

data phase. Command phase is two bytes long for internal I/O registers access and one byte long for TXQ/RXQ FIFOs

access. Data phase on internal I/O registers access is in the range of one to four bytes long depending on the specified

byte enable bits B[3:0] in command phase, and data phase on TXQ or RXQ FIFOs access is limited up to 6 Kbytes for

TXQ access or 12 Kbytes for RXQ access.

follows. The packet data area holds the frame itself. It may or may not include the CRC checksum depending upon

whether hardware CRC checksum generation is enabled in TXCR (bit 1) register.

Multiple frames can be pipelined in both the transmit queue and receive queue as long as there is enough queue memory,

thus avoiding overrun. For each transmitted frame, the transmit status information for the frame is located in the TXSR

(0x72) register.

Since multiple packets can be pipelined int o the TX packet memory for transm it, the transmit status reflects the status of

the packet that is currently being transferred on the MAC interface, which may or may not be the last queued packet in the

TX queue.

The transmit control word is the first 16-bit word in the TX packet memory, followed by a 16-bit byte count. It must be word

aligned. Each control word corresponds to one TX packet. Table 7 gives the transmit control word bit fields.

Driver Routine for Receive Packet from KSZ8851SNL to Host Processor

The s oftware driv er recei ves data pac ket f rames f rom the KSZ8 851SNL d evice e ither as a result of polling or an i nterrupt

based service. When an interrupt is received, the OS invokes the interrupt service routine that is in the interrupt vector

table.

If your system has OS su pport, to minimize interrupt lock out time, the interrupt service routine should handle at interrupt

level on ly those tasks that require m inimum execution time, such as error check ing or device status change. T he routine

should qu eue al l the t im e-consum ing work to tr ansfer the pac ket fr om the KSZ 8851SNL RXQ into s ystem mem or y at task

level. The following Figure 13 shows the step-by-step for receive packets from KSZ8851SNL to host processor.

Note: Each D MA read operation f rom the hos t CPU to read RX Q fram e buffer, the first read data ( byte in 8-bit bus m ode,

word in 16-bit bus mode and double word in 32-bit bus mode) is dummy data and must be discarded by host CPU.

Afterward, host CPU must read each frame data to align with double word boundary at end. For example, the host CPU

has to read up to 68 bytes if received frame size is 65 bytes.

In order to read received frames from RXQ without error, the software driver must use following steps:

1. When receive interrupt occurred and software driver writes “1” to clear the RX interrupt in ISR register; the

KSZ8851 will update Receive Frame Counter (RXFCTR) Register for this interrupt.

2. When software driver reads back Receive Frame Count (RXFCTR) Register; the KSZ8851 will update both

Receive Frame Header Status and Byte Count Registers (RXFHSR/RXFHBCR).

3. When software driver reads back both Receive Frame Header Status and Byte Count Registers

(RXFHSR/RXFHBCR); the KSZ8851 will update next receive frame header status and byte count registers

(RXFHSR/RXFHBCR).

EEPROM Interface

It is optional in the KSZ8851SNL to use an external EEPROM. The EED_IO (pin 6) must be pulled high to use external

EEPROM oth er wis e this pi n pull ed lo w or float ing wit h out EE PRO M.

An externa l ser ia l EEPROM with a stan dar d microwir e bus interface is us ed f or non-vol ati le stor ag e of information s uc h as

the host MAC ad dress. T he KSZ8851SN L can detec t if the EEPRO M is a 1KB (9 3C46) or 4KB (93C 66) EE PROM devic e

(the 93C46 and the 93C66 are typical EEPROM devices). The EEPROM must be organized as 16-bit mode.

If the EED _IO p in is p ul le d hig h, th en th e K SZ88 51 SN L per f orms an automatic read of the ex ternal E EPRO M words 0H t o

Loopback Support

The KSZ8 851SNL pr ovides two loo pback m odes, one is Near-en d (Remote) loopbac k to suppor t for rem ote diagnos tic of

failure at line side, and the other is Far-end (Local) loopback to support for local diagnostic of failure at host side. In

loopback mode, the speed at the PHY port will be set to 100BASE-TX full-duplex mode.

Near-end (Remote) Loopback

Near-end (R em ote) loop back is conducted a t PHY p ort 1 of the KSZ 8851 SNL. T he lo opback path s tarts at th e PH Y port’s

receive inp uts ( RXP/RXM) , wraps around at the s am e PHY port’s PMD/P MA, and ends at the PH Y port’s transm it outputs

(TXP/TXM).

Bit [9] of regis t er P1 SCL M D ( 0xF 4) is us ed to ena bl e near -en d loopbac k . T he po r ts 1 near- en d lo opb ac k path is illus tr a ted

in the following Figure 14.

Far-end (Local) Loopback

Far-end (Local) loopback is conducted at Host of the KSZ8851SNL. The loopback path starts at the host SPI FIFO write

to transmit data, wraps around at the PHY port’s PMD/PMA, and ends at the host SPI FIFO read to receive data.

Bit [14] of register P1MBCR (0xE4) is used to enable far-end loopback at host side. The host far-end loopback path is

illustrated in the following Figure 14.

SPI Interface to I/O Registers

The KSZ8 851SN L pro vides a SPI i nterfac e for the hos t CPU to ac cess its internal I/O regist ers. I/O re gisters s erve as the

address that the microprocessor uses when communicating with the device. This is used for configuring operational

settings, reading or writing control, status information, and transferring packets.

I/O Registers

The following I/O Space Mapping Tables apply to 8-bit, 16-bit or 32-bit access. Depending upon the byte enable bits

B[3:0] setti ngs in comm and phas e, each I / O ac c ess c an be perf ormed the f ollo win g operations as an 8- bit f or 256 ad dres s

locations, 16-bit for 128 address locations or 32-bit for 64 address locations.

unpredictable and often fatal results. If the user wants to write to these reserved bits, the user has to read back these

reserved bits (RO or RW) first, then “OR” with the read value of the reserved bits and write back to these reserved bits.

Host MAC Address Registers: MARL, MARM and MARH

These Host MAC address registers are loaded starting at word location 0x1 of the EEPROM upon hardware reset. The

software driver can read or write these registers value, but it will not modify the original Host MAC address value in the

EEPROM. These six bytes of Host MAC address in external EEPROM are loaded to these three registers as mapping

below:

MARL[15 :0] = EE PROM 0x 1( MAC Byte 2 and 1)

MARM[15 :0] = EE PROM 0x2(MAC B yte 4 and 3)

MARH[15: 0] = EEPRO M 0x3( MAC Byte 6 and 5)

The Host MAC address is used to define the individual destination address that the KSZ8851SNL responds to when

receiving frames. Network addresses are generally expressed in the form of 01:23:45:67:89:AB, where the bytes are

received from left to right, and the bits within each byte are received from right to left (LSB to MSB). For example, the

actual transmitted and received bits are on the order of 10000000 11000100 10100010 11100110 10010001 11010101.

These three registers value for Host MAC address 01:23:45:67:89:AB will be held as below:

MARL[15 :0] = 0x8 9A B

MARM[15:0] = 0x4567

Acronyms and Glossary

BIU Bus Interface Unit The host interface function that performs code conversion,

buffering, and the like required for communications to and from a

network.

BPDU Bridge Protocol Data Unit A packet containing ports, addresses, etc. to make sure data

being passed through a bridged network arrives at its proper

destination.

CMOS Complementary Metal Oxide Semiconductor A common semiconductor manufacturing technique in which

positive and negative types of transistors are combined to form a

current gate that in turn forms an effective means of controlling

electrical current through a chip.

CRC Cyclic Redundancy Check A common technique for detecting data transmission errors. CRC

for Ethernet is 32 bits long.

Cut-through Switch A switch typically processes received packets by reading

in the full packet (storing), then processing the packet to determine

where it needs to go, then forwarding it. A cut-through switch

simply reads in the first bit of an incoming packet and forwards the

packet. Cut-through switches do not store the packet.

DA Destination Address The address to send packets.

DMA Direct Memory Access A design in which memory on a chip is controlled independently of

the CPU.

EEPROM Electronically Erasable Programmable A design in which memory on a chip can be erased by

Read-only Memory exposing it to an electrical charge.

EISA Extended Industry Standard Architecture A bus architecture designed for PCs using 80x86 processors, or

an Intel 80386, 80486 or Pentium microprocessor. EISA buses

are 32 bits wide and support multiprocessing.

EMI Electro-Magnetic Interference A naturally occurring phenomena when the electromagnetic field

of one device disrupts, impedes or degrades the electromagnetic

field of another device by coming into proximity with it. In computer

technology, computer devices are susceptible to EMI because

electromagnetic fields are a byproduct of passing electricity

through a wire. Data lines that have not been properly shielded

are susceptible to data corruption by EMI.

FCS Frame Check Sequence See CRC.

FID Frame or Filter ID Specifies the frame identifier. Alternately is the filter identifier.

IGMP Internet Group Management Protocol The protocol defined by RFC 1112 for IP multicast transmissions.

IPG Inter-Packet Gap A time delay between successive data packets mandated by the

network standard for protocol reasons. In Ethernet, the medium

has to be "silent" (i.e., no data transfer) for a short period of time

before a node can consider the network idle and start to transmit.

IPG is used to correct timing differences between a transmitter

and receiver. During the IPG, no data is transferred, and

information in the gap can be discarded or additions inserted

without impact on data integrity.

ISI Inter-Symbol Interference The disruption of transmitted code caused by adjacent pulses

affecting or interfering with each other.

ISA Industry Standard Architecture A bus architecture used in the IBM PC/XT and PC/AT.

Jumbo Packet A packet larger than the standard Ethernet packet (1500 bytes).

Large packet sizes allow for more efficient use of bandwidth, lower

overhead, less processing, etc.

MDI Medium Dependent Interface An Ethernet port connection that allows network hubs or switches

to connect to other hubs or switches without a null-modem, or

crossover, cable. MDI provides the standard interface to a

particular media (copper or fiber) and is therefore 'media

dependent.'

Micre l, Inc. KSZ8851SNL/SNLI

August 2009 80 M9999-083109-2.0

MDI-X Medium Dependent Interface Crossover An Ethernet port connection that allows networked end stations

(i.e., PCs or workstations) to connect to each other using a null-

modem, or crossover, cable. For 10/100 full-duplex networks, an

end point (such as a computer) and a switch are wired so that

each transmitter connects to the far end receiver. When

connecting two computers together, a cable that crosses the TX

and RX is required to do this. With auto MDI-X, the PHY senses

the correct TX and RX roles, eliminating any cable confusion.

MIB Management Information Base The M IB comprises the management portion of network devices.

This can include things like monitoring traffic levels and faults

(statistical), and can also change operating parameters in network

nodes (static forwarding addresses).

MII Media Independent Interface The MII accesses PHY registers as defined in the IEEE 802.3

specification.

NIC Network Interface Card An expansion board inserted into a computer to allow it to be

connected to a network. Most NICs are designed for a particular

type of network, protocol, and media, although some can serve

multiple networks.

NPVID Non Port VLAN ID The Port VLAN ID value is used as a VLAN reference.

PLL Phase-Locked Loop An electronic circuit that controls an oscillator so that it maintains a

constant phase angle (i.e., lock) on the frequency of an input, or

reference, signal. A PLL ensures that a communication signal is

locked on a specific frequency and can also be used to generate,

modulate, and demodulate a signal and divide a frequency.

PME Power Management Event An occurrence that affects the directing of power to different

components of a system.

QMU Queue Management Unit Manages packet traffic between M AC/PHY interface and the

system host. The QMU has built-in packet memories for receive

and transmit functions called TXQ (Transmit Queue) and RXQ

(Receive Queue).

SA Source Address The address from which information has been sent.

TDR Time Domain Reflectometry TDR is used to pinpoint flaws and problems in underground and

aerial wire, cabling, and fiber optics. They send a signal down the

conductor and measure the time it takes for the signal -- or part of

the signal -- to return.

UTP Unshielded Twisted Pair Commonly a cable containing 4 twisted pairs of wires. The wires

are twisted in such a manner as to cancel electrical interference

generated in each wire, therefore shielding is not required.

VLAN Virtual Local Area Network A configuration of computers that acts as if all computers are

connected by the same physical network but which may be

located virtually anywhere.
