10/100 Non-PCI Ethernet Single Chip MAC + PHY  
Datasheet  
Chapter 1 General Description  
The SMSC LAN91C111 is designed to facilitate the implementation of a third generation of Fast  
Ethernet connectivity solutions for embedded applications. For this third generation of products,  
flexibility and integration dominate the design requirements. The LAN91C111 is a mixed signal  
Analog/Digital device that implements the MAC and PHY portion of the CSMA/CD protocol at 10 and  
100 Mbps. The design will also minimize data throughput constraints utilizing a 32-bit, 16-bit or 8-bit  
bus Host interface in embedded applications.  
The total internal memory FIFO buffer size is 8 Kbytes, which is the total chip storage for transmit and  
receive operations.  
The SMSC LAN91C111 is software compatible with the LAN9000 family of products.  
Memory management is handled using a patented optimized MMU (Memory Management Unit)  
architecture and a 32-bit wide internal data path. This I/O mapped architecture can sustain back-to-  
back frame transmission and reception for superior data throughput and optimal performance. It also  
dynamically allocates buffer memory in an efficient buffer utilization scheme, reducing software tasks  
and relieving the host CPU from performing these housekeeping functions.  
The SMSC LAN91C111 provides a flexible slave interface for easy connectivity with industry-standard  
buses. The Bus Interface Unit (BIU) can handle synchronous as well as asynchronous transfers, with  
different signals being used for each one. Asynchronous bus support for ISA is supported even though  
ISA cannot sustain 100 Mbps traffic. Fast Ethernet data rates are attainable for ISA-based nodes on  
the basis of the aggregate traffic benefits.  
Two different interfaces are supported on the network side. The first Interface is a standard Magnetics  
transmit/receive pair interfacing to 10/100Base-T utilizing the internal physical layer block. The second  
interface follows the MII (Media Independent Interface) specification standard, consisting of 4 bit wide  
data transfers at the nibble rate. This interface is applicable to 10 Mbps standard Ethernet or 100 Mbps  
Ethernet networks. Three of the LAN91C111’s pins are used to interface to the two-line MII serial  
management protocol.  
The SMSC LAN91C111 integrates IEEE 802.3 Physical Layer for twisted pair Ethernet applications.  
The PHY can be configured for either 100 Mbps (100Base-TX) or 10 Mbps (10Base-T) Ethernet  
operation. The Analog PHY block consists of a 4B5B/Manchester encoder/decoder, scrambler/de-  
scrambler, transmitter with wave shaping and output driver, twisted pair receiver with on chip equalizer  
and baseline wander correction, clock and data recovery, Auto-Negotiation, controller interface (MII),  
and serial port (MI). Internal output wave shaping circuitry and on-chip filters eliminate the need for  
external filters normally required in 100Base-TX and 10Base-T applications.  
The LAN91C111 can automatically configure itself for 100 or 10 Mbps and Full or Half Duplex operation  
with the on-chip Auto-Negotiation algorithm. The LAN91C111 is ideal for media interfaces for  
embedded application desiring Ethernet connectivity as well as 100Base-TX/10Base-T adapter cards,  
motherboards, repeaters, switching hubs. The LAN91C111 operates from a single 3.3V supply. The  
inputs and outputs of the host Interface are 5V tolerant and will directly interface to other 5V devices.

Chapter 6 Signal Description Parameters  
This section provides a detailed description of each SMSC LAN91C111 signal. The signals are  
arranged in functional groups according to their associated function.  
The ‘n’ symbol at the beginning of a signal name indicates that it is an active low signal. When ‘n’ is  
not present before the signal name, it indicates an active high signal.  
The term “assert” or “assertion” indicates that a signal is active; independent of whether that level is  
represented by a high or low voltage. The term negates or negation indicates that a signal is inactive.  
The term High-Z means tri-stated.  
The term Undefined means the signal could be high, low, tri-stated, or in some in-between level.

Datasheet  
Chapter 7 Functional Description  
7.1  
Clock Generator Block  
1. The XTAL1 and XTAL2 pins are to be connected to a 25 MHz crystal.  
2. TX25 is an input clock. It will be the nibble rate of the particular PHY connected to the MII (2.5  
MHz for a 10 Mbps PHY, and 25 MHz for a 100 Mbps PHY).  
3. RX25 - This is the MII nibble rate receive clock used for sampling received data nibbles and  
running the receive state machine. (2.5 MHz for a 10 Mbps PHY, and 25 MHz for a 100 Mbps PHY).  
4. LCLK - Bus clock - Used by the BIU for synchronous accesses. Maximum frequency is 50 MHz  
for VL BUS mode, and 8.33 MHz for EISA slave DMA.  
7.2  
CSMA/CD Block  
This is a 16 bit oriented block, with fully- independent Transmit and Receive logic. The data path in  
and out of the block consists of two 16-bit wide uni-directional FIFOs interfacing the DMA block. The  
DMA port of the FIFO stores 32 bits to exploit the 32 bit data path into memory, but the FIFOs  
themselves are 16 bit wide. The Control Path consists of a set of registers interfaced to the CPU via  
the BIU.  
7.2.1  
DMA Block  
This block accesses packet memory on the CSMA/CD’s behalf, fetching transmit data and storing  
received data. It interfaces the CSMA/CD Transmit and Receive FIFOs on one side and the Arbiter  
block on the other. To increase the bandwidth into memory, a 50 MHz clock is used by the DMA block,  
and the data path is 32 bits wide.  
For example, during active reception at 100 Mbps, the CSMA/CD block will write a word into the  
Receive FIFO every 160ns. The DMA will read the FIFO and accumulate two words on the output port  
to request a memory cycle from the Arbiter every 320ns.  
The DMA machine is able to support full duplex operation. Independent receive and transmit counters  
are used. Transmit and receive cycles are alternated when simultaneous receive and transmit  
accesses are needed.  
7.2.2  
Arbiter Block  
The Arbiter block sequences accesses to packet RAM requested by the BIU and by the DMA blocks.  
BIU requests represent pipelined CPU accesses to the Data Register, while DMA requests represent  
CSMA/CD data movement.  
Internal SRAM read accesses are always 32 bit wide, and the Arbiter steers the appropriate byte(s) to  
the appropriate lanes as a function of the address.  
The CPU Data Path consists of two uni-directional FIFOs mapped at the Data Register location. These  
FIFOs can be accessed in any combination of bytes, word, or doublewords. The Arbiter will indicate  
'Not Ready' whenever a cycle is initiated that cannot be satisfied by the present state of the FIFO.  
7.3  
MMU Block  
The Hardware Memory Management Unit allocates memory and transmit and receive packet queues.  
It also determines the value of the transmit and receive interrupts as a function of the queues. The  
page size is 2048 bytes, with a maximum memory size of 8kbytes. MIR values are interpreted in 2048  
byte units.

Datasheet  
7.4  
BIU Block  
The Bus Interface Unit can handle synchronous as well as asynchronous buses; different signals are  
used for each one. Transparent latches are added on the address path using rising nADS for latching.  
When working with an asynchronous bus like ISA, the read and write operations are controlled by the  
edges of nRD and nWR. ARDY is used for notifying the system that it should extend the access cycle.  
The leading edge of ARDY is generated by the leading edge of nRD or nWR while the trailing edge  
of ARDY is controlled by the internal LAN91C111 clock and, therefore, asynchronous to the bus.  
In the synchronous VL Bus type mode, nCYCLE and LCLK are used to for read and write operations.  
Completion of the cycle may be determined by using nSRDY. nSRDY is controlled by LCLK and  
synchronous to the bus.  
Direct 32 bit access to the Data Path is supported by using the nDATACS input. By asserting  
nDATACS, external DMA type of devices will bypass the BIU address decoders and can sequentially  
access memory with no CPU intervention. nDATACS accesses can be used in the EISA DMA burst  
mode (nVLBUS=1) or in asynchronous cycles. These cycles MUST be 32 bit cycles. Please refer to  
the corresponding timing diagrams for details on these cycles.  
The BIU is implemented using the following principles:  
a. Address decoding is based on the values of A15-A4 and AEN.  
b. Address latching is performed by using transparent latches that are transparent when nADS=0 and  
nRD=1, nWR=1 and latch on nADS rising edge.  
c. Byte, word and doubleword accesses to all registers and Data Path are supported except a  
doubleword write to offset Ch will only write the BANK SELECT REGISTER (offset 0x0Fh).  
d. No bus byte swapping is implemented (no eight bit mode).  
e. Word swapping as a function of A1 is implemented for 16 bit bus support.  
f. The asynchronous interface uses nRD and nWR strobes. If necessary, ARDY is negated on the  
leading edge of the strobe. The ARDY trailing edge is controlled by CLK.  
g. The VLBUS synchronous interface uses LCLK, nADS, and W/nR as defined in the VESA  
specification as well as nCYCLE to control read and write operations and generate nSRDY.  
h. EISA burst DMA cycles to and from the DATA REGISTER are supported as defined in the EISA  
Slave Mode "C" specification when nDATACS is driven by nDAK.  
i. Synchronous and asynchronous cycles can be mixed as long as they are not active simultaneously.  
j. Address and bank selection can be bypassed to generate 32 bit Data Path accesses by activating  
the nDATACS pin.  
7.5  
MAC-PHY Interface  
The LAN91C111 integrates the IEEE 802.3 Physical Layer (PHY) and Media Access Control (MAC)  
into the same silicon. The data path connection between the MAC and the internal PHY is provided  
by the internal MII. The LAN91C111 also supports the EXT_PHY mode for the use of an external PHY,  
such as HPNA. This mode isolates the internal PHY to allow interface with an external PHY through  
the MII pins. To enter this mode, set EXT PHY bit to 1 in the Configuration Register.  
7.5.1  
Management Data Software Implementation  
The MII interface contains of a pair of signals that physically transport the management information  
across the MII, a frame format and a protocol specification for exchanging management frames, and  
a register set that can be read and written using these frames. MII management refers to the ability  
of a management entity to communicate with PHY via the MII serial management interface (MI) for the  
purpose of displaying, selecting and/or controlling different PHY options. The host manipulates the  
MAC to drive the MII management serial interface. By manipulating the MAC's registers, MII  
management frames are generated on the management interface for reading or writing information  
from the PHY registers. Timing and framing for each management command is to be generated by  
the CPU (host).

10/100 Non-PCI Ethernet Single Chip MAC + PHY  
Datasheet  
The MAC and external PHY communicate via MDIO and MDC of the MII Management serial interface.  
MDIO:Management Data input/output. Bi-directional between MAC and PHY that carries management  
data. All control and status information sent over this pin is driven and sampled synchronously to the  
rising edge of MDC signal.  
MDC:Management Data Clock. Sourced by the MAC as a timing reference for transfer of information  
on the MDIO signal. MDC is a periodic signal with no maximum high or low times. The minimum high  
and low times should be 160ns each and the minimum period of the signal should be 400ns. These  
values are regardless of the nominal period of the TX and RX clocks.  
7.5.2  
Management Data Timing  
A timing diagram for a Ml serial port frame is shown in Figure 7.1. The Ml serial port is idle when at  
least 32 continuous 1's are detected on MDIO and remains idle as long as continuous 1's are detected.  
During idle, MDIO is in the high impedance state. When the Ml serial port is in the idle state, a 01  
pattern on the MDIO initiates a serial shift cycle. Data on MDIO is then shifted in on the next 14 rising  
edges of MDC (MDIO is high impedance). If the register access mode is not enabled, on the next 16  
rising edges of MDC, data is either shifted in or out on MDIO, depending on whether a write or read  
cycle was selected with the bits READ and WRITE. After the 32 MDC cycles have been completed,  
one complete register has been read/written, the serial shift process is halted, data is latched into the  
device, and MDIO goes into high impedance state. Another serial shift cycle cannot be initiated until  
the idle condition (at least 32 continuous 1's) is detected.  
7.5.3  
MI Serial Port Frame Structure  
The structure of the PHY serial port frame is shown in Table 9.1 and timing diagram of a frame is  
shown in Figure 7.1. Each serial port access cycle consists of 32 bits (or 192 bits if multiple register  
access is enabled and REGAD[4:0]=11111), exclusive of idle. The first 16 bits of the serial port cycle  
are always write bits and are used for addressing. The last 16/176 bits are from one/all of the 11 data  
registers.  
The first 2 bit in Table 9.1and Figure 7.1 are start bits and need to be written as a 01 for the serial port  
cycle to continue. The next 2 bits are a read and write bit which determine if the accessed data register  
bits will be read or write. The next 5 bits are device addresses. The next 5 bits are register address  
select bits, which select one of the five data registers for access. The next 1 bit is a turnaround bit  
which is not an actual register bit but extra time to switch MDIO from write to read if necessary, as  
shown in Figure 7.1. The final 16 bits of the PHY Ml serial port cycle (or 176 bits if multiple register  
access is enabled and REGAD[4:0]=11111) come from the specific data register designated by the  
register address bits REGAD[4:0].

Figure 7.2 MII Frame Format & MII Nibble Order  
The Mll consists of the following signals: four transmit data bits (TXD[3:0]), transmit clock  
(TX25),transmit enable (TXEN100), four receive data bits(RXD[3:0]), receive clock(RX25), carrier  
sense (CRS100), receive data valid (RX_DV), receive data error (RX_ER), and collision (COL100).  
Transmit data is clocked out using the TX25 clock input, while receive data is clocked in using RX25. The  
transmit and receive clocks operate at 25 MHz in 100Mbps mode and 2.5 MHz in 10Mbps.  
In 100 Mbps mode, the LAN91C111 provides the following interface signals to the PHY:  
For transmission: TXEN100, TXD0-3, TX25  
For reception: RX_DV, RX_ER, RXD0-3, RX25  
For CSMA/CD state machines: CRS100, COL100  
A transmission begins by TXEN100 going active (high), and TXD0-TXD3 having the first valid  
preamble nibble. TXD0 carries the least significant bit of the nibble (that is the one that would go first  
out of the EPH at 100 Mbps), while TXD3 carries the most significant bit of the nibble. TXEN100 and  
TXD0-TXD3 are clocked by the LAN91C111 using TX25 rising edges. TXEN100 goes inactive at the  
end of the packet on the last nibble of the CRC.  
During a transmission, COL100 might become active to indicate a collision. COL100 is asynchronous  
to the LAN91C111’s clocks and will be synchronized internally to TX25.  
Reception begins when RX_DV (receive data valid) is asserted. A preamble pattern or flag octet will  
be present at RXD0-RXD3 when RX_DV is activated. The LAN91C111 requires no training sequence  
beyond a full flag octet for reception. RX_DV as well as RXD0-RXD3 are sampled on RX25 rising

edges. RXD0 carries the least significant bit and RXD3 the most significant bit of the nibble. RX_DV  
goes inactive when the last valid nibble of the packet (CRC) is presented at RXD0-RXD3.  
RX_ER might be asserted during packet reception to signal the LAN91C111 that the present receive  
packet is invalid. The LAN91C111 will discard the packet by treating it as a CRC error.  
RXD0-RXD3 should always be aligned to packet nibbles, therefore, opening flag detection does not  
consider misaligned cases. Opening flag detection expects the 5Dh pattern and will not reject the  
packet on non-preamble patterns.  
CRS100 is used as a frame envelope signal for the CSMA/CD MAC state machines (deferral and  
backoff functions), but it is not used for receive framing functions. CRS100 is an asynchronous signal  
and it will be active whenever there is activity on the cable, including LAN91C111 transmissions and  
collisions.

Serial EEPROM Interface  
This block is responsible for reading the serial EEPROM upon hardware reset (or equivalent  
command) and defining defaults for some key registers. A write operation is also implemented by this  
block, that under CPU command will program specific locations in the EEPROM. This block is an  
autonomous state machine and controls the internal Data Bus of the LAN91C111 during active  
operation.  
Internal Physical Layer  
The LAN91C111 integrates the IEEE 802.3 physical layer (PHY) internally. The EXT PHY bit in the  
Configuration Register is 0 as the default configuration to set the internal PHY enabled. The internal  
PHY address is 00000, the driver must use this address to talk to the internal PHY. The internal PHY  
is placed in isolation mode at power up and reset. It can be removed from isolation mode by clearing  
the MII_DIS bit in the PHY Control Register. If necessary, the internal PHY can be enabled by clearing  
the EXT_PHY bit in the Configuration Register.  
The internal PHY of LAN91C111 has nine main sections: controller interface, encoder, decoder,  
scrambler, descrambler, clock and data recovery, twisted pair transmitter, twisted pair receiver, and MI  
serial port.  
The LAN91C111 can operate as a 100BASE-TX device (hereafter referred to as 100Mbps mode) or  
as a 10BASE-T device (hereafter referred to as 10Mbps mode). The difference between the 100Mbps  
mode and the 10Mbps mode is data rate, signaling protocol, and allowed wiring. The 100Mbps TX  
mode uses two pairs of category 5 or better UTP or STP twisted pair cable with 4B5B encoded,  
scrambled, and MLT-3 coded 62.5 MHz ternary data to achieve a throughput of 100Mbps. The 10Mbps  
mode uses two pairs of category 3 or better UTP or STP twisted pair cable with Manchester encoded,  
10MHz binary data to achieve a 10Mbps throughput. The data symbol format on the twisted pair cable  
for the 100 and 10Mbps modes are defined in IEEE 802.3 specifications and shown in Figure 7.3.

Figure 7.3 TX/10BT Frame Format  
On the transmit side for 100Mbps TX operation, data is received on the controller and then sent to the  
4B5B encoder for formatting. The encoded data is then sent to the scrambler. The scrambled and  
encoded data is then sent to the TP transmitter. The TP transmitter converts the encoded and  
scrambled data into MLT-3 ternary format, reshapes the output, and drives the twisted pair cable.  
On the receive side for 100Mbps TX operation, the twisted pair receiver receives incoming encoded  
and scrambled MLT-3 data from the twisted pair cable, remove any high frequency noise, equalizes  
the input signal to compensate for the effects of the cable, qualifies the data with a squelch algorithm,  
and converts the data from MLT-3 coded twisted pair levels to internal digital levels. The output of the  
twisted pair receiver then goes to a clock and data recovery block which recovers a clock from the  
incoming data, uses the clock to latch in valid data into the device, and converts the data back to NRZ  
format. The NRZ data is then unscrambled and decoded by the 4B5B decoder and descrambler,  
respectively, and outputted to the Ethernet controller.

10/100 Non-PCI Ethernet Single Chip MAC + PHY  
Datasheet  
10Mbps operation is similar to the 100Mbps TX operation except, (1) there is no  
scrambler/descrambler, (2) the encoder/decoder is Manchester instead of 4B5B, (3) the data rate is  
10Mbps instead of 100Mbps, and (4) the twisted pair symbol data is two level Manchester instead of  
ternary MLT-3.  
The Management Interface, (hereafter referred to as the MI serial port), is a two pin bi-directional link  
through which configuration inputs can be set and status outputs can be read. Each block plus the  
operating modes are described in more detail in the following sections.  
7.7.1  
7.7.2  
MII Disable  
The internal PHY MII interface can be disabled by setting the MII disable bit in the MI serial port Control  
register. When the MII is disabled, the MII inputs are ignored, the MII outputs are placed in high  
impedance state, and the TP output is high impedance.  
Encoder  
4B5B Encoder - 100 Mbps  
100BASE-TX requires that the data be 4B5B encoded. 4B5B coding converts the 4-Bit data nibbles  
into 5-Bit date code words. The mapping of the 4B nibbles to the 5B code words is specified in IEEE  
802.3. The 4B5B encoder on the LAN91C111 takes 4B nibbles from the controller interface, converts  
them into 5B words and sends the 5B words to the scrambler. The 4B5B encoder also substitutes the  
first 8 bits of the preamble with the SSD delimiters (a.k.a. /J/K/ symbols) and adds an ESD delimiter  
(a.k.a. MR/ symbols) to the end of every packet, as defined in IEEE 802.3. The 4B5B encoder also  
fills the period between packets, called the idle period, with the continuous stream of idle symbols.  
Manchester Encoder - 10 Mbps  
The Manchester encoding process combines clock and NRZ data such that the first half of the data  
bit contains the complement of the data, and the second half of the data bit contains the true data, as  
specified in IEEE 802.3. This guarantees that a transition always occurs in the middle of the bit call.  
The Manchester encoder on the LAN91C111 converts the 10Mbps NRZ data from the controller  
interface into a Manchester Encoded data stream for the TP transmitter and adds a start of idle pulse  
(SOI) at the end of the packet as specified in IEEE 802.3. The Manchester encoding process is only  
done on actual packet data, and the idle period between packets is not Manchester encoded and filled  
with link pulses.  
7.7.3  
Decoder  
4B5B Decoder - 100 Mbps  
Since the TP input data is 4B5B encoded on the transmit side, it must also be decoded by the 4B5B  
decoder on the receive side. The mapping of the 5B nibbles to the 4B code words is specified in IEEE  
802.3. The 4B5B decoder on the LAN91C111 takes the 5B code words from the descrambler, converts  
them into 4B nibbles per Table 2, and sends the 4B nibbles to the controller interface. The 4B5B  
decoder also strips off the SSD delimiter (a.k.a. /J/K/ symbols) and replaces them with two 4B Data 5  
nibbles (a.k.a. /5/ symbol), and strips off the ESD delimiter (a.k.a. /T/R/ symbols) and replaces it with  
two 4B Data 0 nibbles (a.k.a. /I/symbol), per IEEE 802.3 specifications and shown in Figure 7.3.

Invalid codes  
* These 5B codes are not used. For decoder, these 5B codes are decoded to 4B 0000. For encoder,  
4B 0000 is encoded to 5B 11110, as shown in symbol Data 0.  
The 4B5B decoder detects SSD, ESD and codeword errors in the incoming data stream as specified  
in IEEE 802.3. These errors are indicated by asserting RX_ER output while the errors are being  
transmitted across RXD[3:0], and they are also indicated in the serial port by setting SSD, ESD, and  
codeword error bits in the PHY MI serial port Status Output register.  
Manchester Decoder - 10 Mbps  
In Manchester coded data, the first half of the data bit contains the complement of the data, and the  
second half of the data bit contains the true data. The Manchester decoder in the LAN91C111 converts  
the Manchester encoded data stream from the TP receiver into NRZ data for the controller interface  
by decoding the data and stripping off the SOI pulse. Since the clock and data recovery block has  
already separated the clock and data from the TP receiver, the Manchester decoding process to NRZ  
data is inherently performed by that block.

Datasheet  
7.7.4  
Clock and Data Recovery  
Clock Recovery - 100 Mbps  
Clock recovery is done with a PLL. If there is no valid data present on the TP inputs, the PLL is locked  
to the 25 MHz TX25. When valid data is detected on the TP inputs with the squelch circuit and when  
the adaptive equalizer has settled, the PLL input is switched to the incoming data on the TP input.  
The PLL then recovers a clock by locking onto the transitions of the incoming signal from the twisted  
pair wire. The recovered dock frequency is a 25 MHz nibble dock, and that clock is outputted on the  
controller interface signal RX25.  
Data Recovery - 100 Mbps  
Data recovery is performed by latching in data from the TP receiver with the recovered clock extracted  
by the PLL. The data is then converted from a single bit stream into nibble wide data word according  
to the format shown in Figure 7.2.  
Clock Recovery - 10 Mbps  
The clock recovery process for 10Mbps mode is identical to the 100Mbps mode except, (1) the  
recovered clock frequency is 2.5 MHz nibble clock, (2) the PLL is switched from TX25 to the TP input  
when the squelch indicates valid data, (3) The PLL takes up to 12 transitions (bit times) to lock onto  
the preamble, so some of the preamble data symbols are lost, but the dock recovery block recovers  
enough preamble symbols to pass at least 6 nibbles of preamble to the receive controller interface as  
shown in Figure 7.2.  
Data Recovery - 10 Mbps  
The data recovery process for 10Mbps mode is identical to the 100Mbps mode. As mentioned in the  
Manchester Decoder section, the data recovery process inherently performs decoding of Manchester  
encoded data from the TP inputs.  
7.7.5  
Scrambler  
100 Mbps  
100BASE-TX requires scrambling to reduce the radiated emissions on the twisted pair. The  
LAN91C111 scrambler takes the encoded data from the 4B5B encoder, scrambles it per the IEEE  
802.3 specifications, and sends it to the TP transmitter.  
10 Mbps  
A scrambler is not used in 10Mbps mode.  
Scrambler Bypass  
The scrambler can be bypassed by setting the bypass scrambler/descrambler bit in the PHY Ml serial  
port Configuration 1 register. When this bit is set, the 5B data bypasses the scrambler and goes  
directly from the 4B5B encoder to the twisted pair transmitter.  
7.7.6  
Descrambler  
100 Mbps  
The LAN91C111 descrambler takes the scrambled data from the data recovery block, descrambles it  
per the IEEE 802.3 specifications, aligns the data on the correct 5B word boundaries, and sends it to  
the 4B5B decoder.  
The algorithm for synchronization of the descrambler is the same as the algorithm outlined in the IEEE  
802.3 specification. Once the descrambler is synchronized, it will maintain synchronization as long as  
enough descrambled idle pattern 1's are defected within a given interval. To stay in synchronization,  
the descrambler needs to detect at least 25 consecutive descrambled idle pattern 1's in a 1ms interval.

10/100 Non-PCI Ethernet Single Chip MAC + PHY  
Datasheet  
If 25 consecutive descrambled idle pattern 1's are not detected within the 1ms interval, the descrambler  
goes out of synchronization and restarts the synchronization process.  
If the descrambler is in the unsynchronized state, the descrambler loss of synchronization detect bit is  
set in the Ml serial port Status Output register to indicate this condition. Once this bit is set, it will stay  
set until the descrambler achieves synchronization.  
10 Mbps  
A descrambler is not used in 10 Mbps mode.  
Descrambler Bypass  
The descrambler can be bypassed by setting the bypass scrambler/descrambler bit in the PHY MI  
serial port Configuration 1 register. When this bit is set, the data bypasses the descrambler and goes  
directly from the TP receiver to the 4B5B decoder.  
7.7.7  
Twisted Pair Transmitter  
Transmitter - 100 Mbps  
The TX transmitter consists of MLT-3 encoder, waveform generator and line driver.  
The MLT-3 encoder converts the NRZ data from the scrambler into a three level MLT-3 code required  
by IEEE 802.3. MLT-3 coding uses three levels and converts 1's to transitions between the three levels,  
and converts 0's to no transitions or changes in level.  
The purpose of the waveform generator is to shape the transmit output pulse. The waveform generator  
takes the MLT-3 three level encoded waveform and uses an array of switched current sources to  
control the rise/fall time and level of the signal at the Output. The output of the switched current  
sources then goes through a low pass filter in order to "smooth" the current output and remove any  
high frequency components. In this way, the waveform generator preshapes the output waveform  
transmitted onto the twisted pair cable to meet the pulse template requirements outlined in IEEE 802.3.  
The waveform generator eliminates the need for any external filters on the TP transmit output.  
The line driver converts the shaped and smoothed waveform to a current output that can drive 100  
meters of category 5 unshielded twisted pair cable or 150 Ohm shielded twisted pair cable.  
Transmitter - 10 Mbps  
The transmitter operation in 10 Mbps mode is much different than the 100 Mbps transmitter. Even so,  
the transmitter still consists of a waveform generator and line driver.  
The purpose of the waveform generator is to shape the output transmit pulse. The waveform generator  
consists of a ROM, DAC, dock generator, and filter. The DAC generates a stair-stepped representation  
of the desired output waveform. The stairstepped DAC output then goes through a low pass filter in  
order to "smooth' the DAC output and remove any high frequency components. The DAC values are  
determined from the ROM outputs; the ROM contents are chosen to shape the pulse to the desired  
template and are clocked into the DAC at high speed by the clock generator. In this way, the waveform  
generator preshapes the output waveform to be transmitted onto the twisted pair cable to meet the  
pulse template requirements outlined in IEEE 802.3 Clause 14 and also shown in Figure 7.4. The  
waveshaper replaces and eliminates external filters on the TP transmit output.  
The line driver converts the shaped and smoothed waveform to a current output that can drive 100  
meters of category 3/4/5 100 Ohm unshielded twisted pair cable or 150 Ohm shielded twisted pair  
cable tied directly to the TP output pins without any external filters. During the idle period, no output  
signal is transmitted on the TP outputs (except link pulse).

Transmit Level Adjust  
The transmit output current level is derived from an internal reference voltage and the external resistor

STP (150 Ohm) Cable Mode  
The transmitter can be configured to drive 150 Ohm shielded twisted pair cable. The STP mode can  
be selected by appropriately setting the cable type select bit in the PHY MI serial port Configuration 1  
register. When STP mode is enabled, the output current is automatically adjusted to comply with IEEE  
802.3 levels.  
Transmit Disable  
The TP transmitter can be disabled by setting the transmit disable bit in the PHY Ml serial port  
Configuration 1 register. When the transmit disable bit is set, the TP transmitter is forced into the idle  
state, no data is transmitted, no link pulses are transmitted, and internal loopback is disabled.  
Transmit Powerdown  
The TP transmitter can be powered down by setting the transmit powerdown bit in the PHY Ml serial  
port Configuration 1 register. When the transmit powerdown bit is set, the TP transmitter is powered  
down, the TP transmit outputs are high impedance, and the rest of the LAN91C111 operates normally.  
7.7.8  
Twisted Pair Receiver  
Receiver - 100 Mbps  
The TX receiver detects input signals from the twisted pair input and converts it to a digital data bit  
stream ready for dock and data recovery. The receiver can reliably detect data from a 100BASE-TX  
transmitter that has been passed through 0-100 meters of 100-Ohm category 5 UTP or 150 Ohm STP.  
The TX receiver consists of an adaptive equalizer, baseline wander correction circuit, comparators, and  
MLT-3 decoder. The TP inputs first go to an adaptive equalizer. The adaptive equalizer compensates  
for the low pass characteristic of the cable, and it has the ability to adapt and compensate for 0-100  
meters of category 5, 100 Ohm UTP or 150 Ohm STP twisted pair cable. The baseline wander  
correction circuit restores the DC component of the input waveform that was removed by external  
transformers. The comparators convert the equalized signal back to digital levels and are used to  
qualify the data with the squelch circuit. The MLT-3 decoder takes the three level MLT-3 digital data  
from the comparators and converts it to back to normal digital data to be used for dock and data  
recovery.  
Receiver - 10 Mbps  
The 10 Mbps receiver is able to detect input signals from the twisted pair cable that are within the  
template shown in Figure 7.5. The inputs are biased by internal resistors. The TP inputs pass through  
a low pass filter designed to eliminate any high frequency noise on the input. The output of the receive  
filter goes to two different types of comparators, squelch and zero crossing. The squelch comparator  
determines whether the signal is valid, and the zero crossing comparator is used to sense the actual  
data transitions once the signal is determined to be valid. The output of the squelch comparator goes  
to the squelch circuit and is also used for link pulse detection, SOI detection, and reverse polarity  
detection; the output of the zero crossing comparator is used for clock and data recovery in the  
Manchester decoder.

TP Squelch - 100 Mbps  
The squelch block determines if the TP input contains valid data. The 100 Mbps TP squelch is one  
of the criteria used to determine link integrity. The squelch comparators compare the TP inputs against  
fixed positive and negative thresholds, called squelch levels. The output from the squelch comparator  
goes to a digital squelch circuit which determines if the receive input data on that channel is valid. If  
the data is invalid, the receiver is in the squelched state. If the input voltage exceeds the squelch  
levels at least 4 times with alternating polarity within a 10 μS interval, the data is considered to be  
valid by the squelch circuit and the receiver now enters into the unsquelch state. In the unsquelch  
state, the receive threshold level is reduced by approximately 30% for noise immunity reasons and is  
called the unsquelch level. When the receiver is in the unsquelch state, then the input signal is  
deemed to be valid. The device stays in the unsquelch state until loss of data is detected. Loss of  
data is detected if no alternating polarity unsquelch transitions are detected during any 10 μS interval.  
When the loss of data is detected, the receive squelch is turned on again.  
TP Squelch, 10 Mbps  
The TP squelch algorithm for 10 Mbps mode is identical to the 100 Mbps mode except, (1) the 10  
Mbps TP squelch algorithm is not used for link integrity but to sense the beginning of a packet, (2) the  
receiver goes into the unsquelch state if the input voltage exceeds the squelch levels for three bit times  
with alternating polarity within a 50-250 nS interval, (3) the receiver goes into the squelch state when  
idle is detected, (4) unsquelch detection has no affect on link integrity, link pulses are used for that in  
10 Mbps mode, (5) start of packet is determined when the receiver goes into the unsquelch state an  
a CRS100 is asserted, and (6) the receiver meets the squelch requirements defined in IEEE 802.3  
Clause 14.

Equalizer Disable  
The adaptive equalizer can be disabled by setting the equalizer disable bit in the PHY Ml serial port  
Configuration 1 register. When disabled, the equalizer is forced into the response it would normally  
have if zero cable length was detected.  
Receive Level Adjust  
The receiver squelch and unsquelch levels can be lowered by 4.5 dB by setting the receive level adjust  
bit in the PHY Ml serial port Configuration 1 register. By setting this bit, the device may be able to  
support longer cable lengths.  
7.7.9  
Collision  
100 Mbps  
Collision occurs whenever transmit and receive occur simultaneously while the device is in Half  
Duplex.  
Collision is sensed whenever there is simultaneous transmission (packet transmission on TPO±) and  
reception (non-idle symbols detected on TP input). When collision is detected, the MAC is notified.  
Once collision starts, the receive and transmit packets that caused the collision are terminated by their  
respective MACs until the responsible MACs terminate the transmission, the PHY continues to pass  
the data on.  
The collision function is disabled if the device is in the Full Duplex mode, is in the Link Fail State, or  
if the device is in the diagnostic loopback mode.  
10 Mbps  
Collision in 10Mbps mode is identical to the 100Mbps mode except, (1) reception is determined by the  
10Mbps squelch criteria, (2) data being passed to the MAC are forced to all 0's, (3) MAC is notified of  
the collision when the SQE test is performed, (4) MAC is notified of the collision when the jabber  
condition has been detected.  
Collision Test  
The MAC and PHY collision indication can be tested by setting the collision test register bit in the PHY  
MI serial port Control register. When this bit is set, internal TXEN from the MAC is looped back onto  
COL and the TP outputs are disabled.  
7.7.10  
Start of Packet  
100 Mbps  
Start of packet for 100 Mbps mode is indicated by a unique Start of Stream Delimiter (referred to as  
SSD). The SSD pattern consists of the two /J/K/ 5B symbols inserted at the beginning of the packet  
in place of the first two preamble symbols, as defined in IEEE 802.3 Clause 24.  
The transmit SSD is generated by the 4B5B encoder and the /J/K/ symbols are inserted by the 4B5B  
encoder at the beginning of the transmit data packet in place of the first two 5B symbols of the  
preamble.  
The receive pattern is detected by the 4B5B decoder by examining groups of 10 consecutive code bits  
(two 5B words) from the descrambler. Between packets, the receiver will be detecting the idle pattern,  
which is 5B /I/ symbols. While in the idle state, the MAC is notified that no data/invalid data is received.  
If the receiver is in the idle state and 10 consecutive code bits from the receiver consist of the /J/K/  
symbols, the start of packet is detected, data reception is begun, the MAC is notified that valid data is  
received, and 5/5/ symbols are substituted in place of the /J/K/ symbols.  
If the receiver is in the idle state and 10 consecutive code bits from the receiver consist of a pattern  
that is neither /I/I/ nor /J/K/ symbols but contains at least 2 non contiguous 0's, then activity is detected  
but the start of packet is considered to be faulty and a False Carrier Indication (also referred to as bad

SSD) is signaled to the controller interface. When False Carrier is detected, the MAC is notified of  
false carrier and invalid received, and the bad SSD bit is set in the PHY Ml serial port Status Output  
register. Once a False Carrier Event is detected, the idle pattern (two /I/I/ symbols) must be detected  
before any new SSD's can be sensed.  
If the receiver is in the idle state and 10 consecutive code bits from the receiver consist of a pattern  
that is neither /l/l/ nor /J/K/ symbols but does not contain at least 2 non-contiguous 0's, the data is  
ignored and the receiver stays in the idle state.  
10 Mbps  
Since the idle period in 10 Mbps mode is defined to be the period when no data is present on the TP  
inputs, then the start of packet for 10 Mbps mode is detected when valid data is detected by the TP  
squelch circuit. When start of packet is detected, carrier sense signal at internal MII is asserted as  
described in the Controller Interface section. Refer to the TP squelch section for 10 Mbps mode for  
the algorithm for valid data detection.  
7.7.11  
End of Packet  
100 Mbps  
End of packet for 100 Mbps mode is indicated by the End of Stream Delimiter (referred to as ESD).  
The ESD pattern consists of the two /T/R/ 4B5B symbols inserted after the end of the packet, as  
defined in IEEE 802.3 Clause 24.  
The transmit ESD is generated by the 4B5B encoder and the /T/R/ symbols are inserted by the 4B5B  
encoder after the end of the transmit data packet.  
The receive ESD pattern is detected by the 4B5B decoder by examining groups of 10 consecutive  
code bits (two 5B words) from the descrambler during valid packet reception to determine if there is  
an ESD.  
If the 10 consecutive code bits from the receiver during valid packet reception consist of the /T/R/  
symbols, the end of packet is detected, data reception is terminated, the MAC is notified of valid data  
received, and /I/I/ symbols are substituted in place of the /T/R/ symbols.  
If 10 consecutive code bits from the receiver during valid packet reception do not consist of /T/R/  
symbols but consist of /I/I/ symbols instead, then the packet is considered to have been terminated  
prematurely and abnormally. When this premature end of packet condition is detected, the MAC is  
notified of invalid data received for the nibble associated with the first /I/ symbol. Premature end of  
packet condition is also indicated by setting the bad ESD bit in the PHY Ml serial port Status Output  
register.  
10 Mbps  
The end of packet for 10 Mbps mode is indicated with the SOI (Start of Idle) pulse. The SOI pulse is  
a positive pulse containing a Manchester code violation inserted at the end of every packet.  
The transmit SOI pulse is generated by the TP transmitter and inserted at the end of the data packet  
after TXEN is deasserted. The transmitted SOI output pulse at the TP output is shaped by the transmit  
waveshaper to meet the pulse template requirements specified in IEEE 802.3 Clause 14 and shown  
in Figure 7.6.  
The receive SOI pulse is detected by the TP receiver by sensing missing data transitions. Once the  
SOI pulse is detected, data reception is ended and the MAC is notified of no data/invalid data received.

Link Integrity & AutoNegotiation  
General  
The LAN91C111 can be configured to implement either the standard link integrity algorithms or the  
AutoNegotiation algorithm.  
The standard link integrity algorithms are used solely to establish an active link to and from a remote  
device. There are different standard link integrity algorithms for 10 and 100 Mbps modes. The  
AutoNegotiation algorithm is used for two purposes: (1) To automatically configure the device for either  
10/100 Mbps and Half/Full Duplex modes, and (2) to establish an active link to and from a remote  
device. The standard link integrity and AutoNegotiation algorithms are described below.  
AutoNegotiation is only specified for 100BASE-TX and 10BASE-T operation.  
10BASE-T Link Integrity Algorithm - 10Mbps  
The LAN91C111 uses the same 10BASE-T link integrity algorithm that is defined in IEEE 802.3 Clause  
14. This algorithm uses normal link pulses, referred to as NLP's and transmitted during idle periods,  
to determine if a device has successfully established a link with a remote device (called Link Pass  
State). The transmit link pulse meets the template defined in IEEE 802.3 Clause 14 and shown in  
Figure 7.7. Refer to IEEE 802.3 Clause 14 for more details if needed.

100BASE-TX Link Integrity Algorithm -100Mbps  
Since 100BASE-TX is defined to have an active idle signal, then there is no need to have separate  
link pulses like those defined for 10BASE-T. The LAN91C111 uses the squelch criteria and  
descrambler synchronization algorithm on the input data to determine if the device has successfully  
established a link with a remote device (called Link Pass State). Refer to IEEE 802.3 for both of these  
algorithms for more details.  
AutoNegotiation Algorithm  
As stated previously, the AutoNegotiation algorithm is used for two purposes: (1) To automatically  
configure the device for either 10/100 Mbps and Half/ Full Duplex modes, and (2) to establish an active  
link to and from a remote device. The AutoNegotiation algorithm is the same algorithm that is defined  
in IEEE 802.3 Clause 28. AutoNegotiation uses a burst of link pulses, called fast link pulses and  
referred to as FLP'S, to pass up to 16 bits of signaling data back and forth between the LAN91C111  
and a remote device. The transmit FLP pulses meet the templated specified in IEEE 802.3 and shown  
in Figure 7.7. A timing diagram contrasting NLP's and FLP's is shown in Figure 7.8.

Figure 7.8 NLP VS. FLP Link Pulse  
The AutoNegotiation algorithm is initiated by any of these events: (1) AutoNegotiation enabled, (2) a  
device enters the Link Fail State, (3) AutoNegotiation Reset. Once a negotiation has been initiated,  
the LAN91C111 first determines if the remote device has AutoNegotiation capability. If the remote  
device is not AutoNegotiation capable and is just transmitting either a 10BASE-T or 100BASE-TX  
signal, the LAN91C111 will sense that and place itself in the correct mode. If the LAN91C111 detects  
FLP's from the remote device, then the remote device is determined to have AutoNegotiation capability  
and the device then uses the contents of the Ml serial port AutoNegotiation Advertisement register and  
FLP's to advertise its capabilities to a remote device. The remote device does the same, and the  
capabilities read back from the remote device are stored in the PHY Ml serial port AutoNegotiation  
Remote End Capability register. The LAN91C111 negotiation algorithm then matches it's capabilities  
to the remote device's capabilities and determines what mode the device should be configured to  
according to the priority resolution algorithm defined in IEEE 802.3 Clause 28. Once the negotiation  
process is completed, the LAN91C111 then configures itself for either 10 or 100 Mbps mode and either  
Full or Half Duplex modes (depending on the outcome of the negotiation process), and it switches to  
either the 100BASETX or 10BASE-T link integrity algorithms (depending on which mode was enabled  
by AutoNegotiation). Refer to IEEE 802.3 Clause 28 for more details.  
AutoNegotiation Outcome Indication  
The outcome or result of the AutoNegotiation process is stored in the speed detect and duplex detect  
bits in the PHY MI serial port Status Output register.  
AutoNegotiation Status  
The status of the AutoNegotiation process can be monitored by reading the AutoNegotiation  
acknowledgement bit in the Ml serial port Status register. The Ml serial port Status register contains  
a single AutoNegotiation acknowledgement bit which indicates when an AutoNegotiation has been  
initiated and successfully completed.  
AutoNegotiation Enable  
The AutoNegotiation algorithm can be enabled by setting both the ANEG bit in the MAC Receive/PHY  
Control Register and the ANEG_EN bit in the MI PHY Register 0 (Control register). Clearing either of  
these two bits will turn off AutoNegotiation mode. When the AutoNegotiation algorithm is enabled, the

Datasheet  
device halts all transmissions including link pulses for 1200-1500 ms, enters the Link Fail State, and  
restarts the negotiation process. When AutoNegotiation mode is turned on or reset, software driver  
should wait for at least 1500ms to read the ANEG_ACK bit in the MI PHY Status Register to determine  
whether the AutoNegotiation process has been completed. When the ANEG bit in the Receive/PHY  
Control Register is cleared, AutoNegotiation algorithm is disabled, the selection of 10/100 Mbps mode  
and duplex mode is determined by the SPEED bit and the DPLX bit in the MAC Receive/PHY Control  
register. When the ANEG bit in the Receive/PHY Control Register is set and the ANEG_EN bit in the  
MI PHY Register 0 (Control Register) is cleared, AutoNegotiation algorithm is disabled, the selection  
of 10/100 Mbps mode and duplex mode is determined by the SPEED bit and the DPLX bit in the MI  
PHY Register 0 (Control Register).  
AutoNegotiation Reset  
The AutoNegotiation algorithm can be initiated at any time by setting the AutoNegotiation reset bit in  
the PHY MI serial port Control register.  
Link Disable  
The link integrity function can be disabled by setting the link disable bit in the PHY Ml serial port  
Configuration 1 register. When the link integrity function is disabled, the device is forced into the Link  
Pass state, configures itself for Half/Full Duplex based on the value of the duplex bit in the PHY MI  
serial port Control register, configures itself for 100/10 Mbps operation based on the values of the  
speed bit in the Ml serial port Control register, and continues to transmit NLP'S or TX idle patterns,  
depending on whether the device is in 10 or 100 Mbps mode.  
7.7.13  
Jabber  
100 Mbps  
Jabber function is disabled in the 100 Mbps mode.  
10 Mbps  
Jabber condition occurs when the transmit packet exceeds a predetermined length. When jabber is  
detected, the TP transmit outputs are forced to the idle state, collision is asserted, and register bits in  
the PHY Ml serial port Status and Status Output registers are set.  
Jabber Disable  
The jabber function can be disabled by setting the jabber disable bit in the PHY MI serial port  
Configuration 2 register.  
7.7.14  
Receive Polarity Correction  
100 Mbps  
No polarity detection or correction is needed in 100Mbps mode.  
10 Mbps  
The polarity of the signal on the TP receive input is continuously monitored. If either 3 consecutive  
link pulses or one SOI pulse indicates incorrect polarity on the TP receive input, the polarity is internally  
determined to be incorrect, and a reverse polarity bit is set in the PHY Ml serial port Status Output  
register.  
The LAN91C111 will automatically correct for the reverse polarity condition provided that the  
autopolarity feature is not disabled.  
Note: The first 3 received packets must be discarded after the correction of a reverse polarity  
condition.

Autopolarity Disable  
The autopolarity feature can be disabled by setting the autopolarity disable bit in the PHY MI serial  
port Configuration 2 register.  
7.7.15  
Full Duplex Mode  
100 Mbps  
Full Duplex mode allows transmission and reception to occur simultaneously. When Full Duplex mode  
is enabled, collision is disabled.  
The device can be either forced into Half or Full Duplex mode, or the device can detect either Half or  
Full Duplex capability from a remote device and automatically place itself in the correct mode.  
The device can be forced into the Full or Half Duplex modes by either setting the duplex bit in the MI  
serial port Control register.  
The device can automatically configure itself for Full or Half Duplex modes by using the  
AutoNegotiation algorithm to advertise and detect Full and Half Duplex capabilities to and from a  
remote terminal. All of this is described in detail in the Link Integrity and AutoNegotiation section.  
10 Mbps  
Full Duplex in 10 Mbps mode is identical to the 100 Mbps mode.  
100/10 Mbps SELECTION  
General  
The device can be forced into either the 100 or 10 Mbps mode, or the device also can detect 100 or  
10 Mbps capability from a remote device and automatically place itself in the correct mode.  
The device can be forced into either the 100 or 10 Mbps mode by setting the speed select bit in the  
PHY MI serial port Control register assuming AutoNegotiation is not enabled.  
The device can automatically configure itself for 100 or 10 Mbps mode by using the AutoNegotiation  
algorithm to advertise and detect 100 and 10 Mbps capabilities to and from a remote terminal. All of  
this is described in detail in the Link Integrity & AutoNegotiation section.  
7.7.16  
Loopback  
Diagnostic Loopback  
A diagnostic loopback mode can also be selected by setting the loopback bit in the MI serial port  
Control register. When diagnostic loopback is enabled, transmit data at internal MII is looped back  
onto receive data output at internal MII, transmit enable signal is looped back onto carrier sense output  
at internal MII, the TP receive and transmit paths are disabled, the transmit link pulses are halted, and  
the Half/Full Duplex modes do not change.  
7.7.17  
7.7.18  
PHY Powerdown  
The internal PHY of LAN91C111 can be powered down by setting the powerdown bit in the PHY Ml  
serial port Control register. In powerdown mode, the TP outputs are in high impedance state, all  
functions are disabled except the PHY Ml serial port, and the power consumption is reduced to a  
minimum. To restore PHY to normal power mode, set the PDN bit in PHY MI Register 0 to 0. The PHY  
is then in isolation mode (MII_DIS bit is set); This MII_DIS bit is needed to be cleared. The device is  
guaranteed to be ready for normal operation 500mS after powerdown is de-asserted.  
PHY Interrupt  
The LAN91C111 PHY has interrupt capability. The interrupt is triggered by certain output status bits  
(also referred to as interrupt bits) in the serial port. R/LT bits are read bits that latch on transition.

10/100 Non-PCI Ethernet Single Chip MAC + PHY  
Datasheet  
R/LT bits are also interrupt bits if they are not masked out with the Mask register bits. Interrupt bits  
automatically latch themselves into their register locations and assert the interrupt indication when they  
change state. Interrupt bits stay latched until they are read. When interrupt bits are read, the interrupt  
indication is deasserted and the interrupt bits that caused the interrupt to happen are updated to their  
current value. Each interrupt bit can be individually masked and subsequently be removed as an  
interrupt bit by setting the appropriate mask register bits in the Mask register.  
lnterrupt indication is done in two ways: (1) MDINT bit in Interrupt Status Register, (2) INT bit in the  
PHY Ml Serial Port Status Output register. The INT bit is an active high interrupt register bit that  
resides in the PHY MI Serial Port Status Output register.  
7.8  
Reset  
The chip (MAC & PHY) performs an internal system reset when either (1) the RESET pin is asserted  
high for at least 100ns, (2) writing “1” to the SOFT_RST bit in the Receive Control Register, this reset  
bit is not a self-clearing bit, reset can be terminated by writing the bit low. It programs all registers to  
their default value. When reset is initiated by (1) and the EEPROM is presented and enabled, the  
controller will load the EEPROM to obtain the following configurations: 1) Configuration Register, 2)  
BASE Register, or/and 3) MAC Address. The internal MAC is not a power on reset device, thus reset  
is required after power up to ensure all register bits are in default state.  
The internal PHY is reset when either (1) VDD is applied to the device, (2) the RST bit is set in the  
PHY Ml serial port Control register, this reset bit is a self-clearing bit, and the PHY will return a “1” on  
reads to this bit until the reset is completed, 3) the RESET pin is asserted high, (4) the SOFT_RST  
bit is set high and then cleared. When reset is initiated by (1) or (2), an internal power-on reset pulse  
is generated which resets all internal circuits, forces the PHY Ml serial port bits to their default values,  
and latches in new values for the MI address. After the power-on reset pulse has finished, the reset  
bit in the PHY Ml serial port Control registers cleared and the device is ready for normal operation.  
When reset is initiated by (3), the same procedure occurs except the device stays in the reset state  
as long as the RESET pin is held high. The internal PHY is guaranteed to be ready for normal  
operation 50 mS after the reset pin was de-asserted or the reset bit is set. Software driver requires  
to wait for 50mS after setting the RST bit to high to access the internal PHY again.

The receive byte count always appears as even; the ODDFRM bit of the receive status word indicates  
if the low byte of the last word is relevant.  
The transmit byte count least significant bit will be assumed 0 by the controller regardless of the value  
written in memory.  
DATA AREA - The data area starts at offset 4 of the packet structure and can extend up to 2043 bytes.  
The data area contains six bytes of DESTINATION ADDRESS followed by six bytes of SOURCE  
ADDRESS, followed by a variable-length number of bytes. On transmit, all bytes are provided by the  
CPU, including the source address. The LAN91C111 does not insert its own source address. On  
receive, all bytes are provided by the CSMA side.  
The 802.3 Frame Length word (Frame Type in Ethernet) is not interpreted by the LAN91C111. It is  
treated transparently as data both for transmit and receive operations.  
CONTROL BYTE - For transmit packets the CONTROL BYTE is written by the CPU as:  
X

ODD - If set, indicates an odd number of bytes, with the last byte being right before the CONTROL  
BYTE. If clear, the number of data bytes is even and the byte before the CONTROL BYTE is not  
transmitted.  
CRC - When set, CRC will be appended to the frame. This bit has meaning only if the NOCRC bit in  
the TCR is set.  
For receive packets the CONTROL BYTE is written by the controller as:  
0

BROADCAST - Receive frame was broadcast. When a broadcast packet is received, the MULTCAST  
bit may be also set on the status word in addition to the BRODCAST bit. The software implement may  
just ignore the MULTCAST bit if for BRODCAST packet.  
BADCRC - Frame had CRC error, or RX_ER was asserted during reception.  
ODDFRM - This bit when set indicates that the received frame had an odd number of bytes.  
TOOLNG - Frame length was longer than 802.3 maximum size (1518 bytes on the cable).  
TOOSHORT - Frame length was shorter than 802.3 minimum size (64 bytes on the cable).  
HASH VALUE - Provides the hash value used to index the Multicast Registers. Can be used by  
receive routines to speed up the group address search. The hash value consists of the six most  
significant bits of the CRC calculated on the Destination Address, and maps into the 64 bit multicast  
table. Bits 5,4,3 of the hash value select a byte of the multicast table, while bits 2,1,0 determine the  
bit within the byte selected. Examples of the address mapping:

I/O Space  
The base I/O space is determined by the IOS0-IOS2 inputs and the EEPROM contents. To limit the  
I/O space requirements to 16 locations, the registers are assigned to different banks. The last word of  
the I/O area is shared by all banks and can be used to change the bank in use. Registers are  
described using the following convention:

FFSET - Defines the address offset within the IOBASE where the register can be accessed at,  
provided the bank select has the appropriate value.  
The offset specifies the address of the even byte (bits 0-7) or the address of the complete word.  
The odd byte can be accessed using address (offset + 1).  
Some registers (like the Interrupt Ack., or like Interrupt Mask) are functionally described as two eight  
bit registers, in that case the offset of each one is independently specified.

BS2, BS1, BS0 Determine the bank presently in use. This register is always accessible and is used  
to select the register bank in use.  
The upper byte always reads as 33h and can be used to help determine the I/O location of the  
LAN91C111.  
The BANK SELECT REGISTER is always accessible regardless of the value of BS0-2  
Note: The bank select register can be accessed as a doubleword at offset 0x0Ch, as a word at offset  
0x0Eh, or as a byte at offset 0x0Eh, A doubleword write to offset 0x0Ch will write the BANK  
SELECT REGISTER but will not write the registers 0x0Ch and 0x0Dh, but will only write to  
register 0x0Eh  
BANK 7 has no internal registers other than the BANK SELECT REGISTER itself. On valid cycles  
where BANK7 is selected (BS0=BS1=BS2=1), and A3=0, nCSOUT is activated to facilitate  
implementation of external registers.  
Note: BANK7 does not exist in LAN91C9x devices. For backward S/W compatibility BANK7 accesses  
should be done if the Revision Control register indicates the device is the LAN91C111.

SWFDUP - Enables Switched Full Duplex mode. In this mode, transmit state machine is inhibited from  
recognizing carrier sense, so deferrals will not occur. Also inhibits collision count, therefore, the  
collision related status bits in the EPHSR are not valid (CTR_ROL, LATCOL, SQET, 16COL, MUL COL,  
and SNGL COL). Uses COL100 as flow control, limiting backoff and jam to 1 clock each before inter-  
frame gap, then retry will occur after IFG. If COL100 is active during preamble, full preamble will be  
output before jam. When SWFDUP is high, the values of FDUPLX and MON_CSN have no effect.  
EPH_LOOP - Internal loopback at the EPH block. Serial data is internally looped back when set.  
Defaults low. When EPH_LOOP is high the following transmit outputs are forced inactive: TXD0-TXD3  
= 0h, TXEN100 = 0. The following and external inputs are blocked: CRS100=0, COL100=0, RX_DV=  
RX_ER=0.  
STP_SQET - STP_SQET - Stop transmission on SQET error. If this bit is set, LAN91C111 will stop  
and disable the transmitter on SQE test error. If the external SQET generator on the network generates  
the SQET pulse during the IPG (Inter Frame Gap), this bit will not be set and subsequent transmits  
will occur as in the case of implementing “Auto Release” for multiple transmit packets. If this bit is  
cleared, then the SQET bit in the EPH Status register will be cleared. Defaults low.  
FDUPLX - When set the LAN91C111 will cause frames to be received if they pass the address filter  
regardless of the source for the frame. When clear the node will not receive a frame sourced by itself.  
This bit does not control the duplex mode operation, the duplex mode operation is controlled by the  
SWFDUP bit.  
MON_CSN - When set the LAN91C111 monitors carrier while transmitting. It must see its own carrier  
by the end of the preamble. If it is not seen, or if carrier is lost during transmission, the transmitter  
aborts the frame without CRC and turns itself off and sets the LOST CARR bit in the EPHSR. When  
this bit is clear the transmitter ignores its own carrier. Defaults low. Should be 0 for MII operation.  
NOCRC - Does not append CRC to transmitted frames when set. Allows software to insert the desired  
CRC. Defaults to zero, namely CRC inserted.  
PAD_EN - When set, the LAN91C111 will pad transmit frames shorter than 64 bytes with 00. For TX,  
CPU should write the actual BYTE COUNT before padded by the LAN91C111 to the buffer RAM,  
excludes the padded 00. When this bit is cleared, the LAN91C111 does not pad frames.

10/100 Non-PCI Ethernet Single Chip MAC + PHY  
Datasheet  
FORCOL - When set, the FORCOL bit will force a collision by not deferring deliberately. This bit is set  
and cleared only by the CPU. When TXENA is enabled with no packets in the queue and while the  
FORCOL bit is set, the LAN91C111 will transmit a preamble pattern the next time a carrier is seen on  
the line. If a packet is queued, a preamble and SFD will be transmitted. This bit defaults low to normal  
operation. NOTE: The LATCOL bit in the EPHSR, setting up as a result of FORCOL, will reset TXENA  
to 0. In order to force another collision, TXENA must be set to 1 again.  
LOOP - Loopback. General purpose output port used to control the LBK pin. Typically used to put the  
PHY chip in loopback mode.  
TXENA - Transmit enabled when set. Transmit is disabled if clear. When the bit is cleared the  
LAN91C111 will complete the current transmission before stopping. When stopping due to an error,  
this bit is automatically cleared.

This register stores the status of the last transmitted frame. This register value, upon individual  
transmit packet completion, is stored as the first word in the memory area allocated to the packet.  
Packet interrupt processing should use the copy in memory as the register itself will be updated by  
subsequent packet transmissions. The register can be used for real time values (like TXENA and LINK  
OK). If TXENA is cleared the register holds the last packet completion status.

LINK_OK - General purpose input port driven by nLNK pin inverted. Typically used for Link Test. A  
transition on the value of this bit generates an interrupt.  
CTR_ROL - Counter Roll Over. When set one or more 4 bit counters have reached maximum count  
(15). Cleared by reading the ECR register.  
EXC_DEF - Excessive Deferral. When set last/current transmit was deferred for more than 1518 * 2  
byte times. Cleared at the end of every packet sent.  
LOST_CARR - Lost Carrier Sense. When set indicates that Carrier Sense was not present at end of  
preamble. Valid only if MON_CSN is enabled. This condition causes TXENA bit in TCR to be reset.  
Cleared by setting TXENA bit in TCR.  
LATCOL - Late collision detected on last transmit frame. If set a late collision was detected (later than  
64 byte times into the frame). When detected the transmitter jams and turns itself off clearing the  
TXENA bit in TCR. Cleared by setting TXENA in TCR.  
TX_DEFR - Transmit Deferred. When set, carrier was detected during the first 6.4 μs of the inter frame  
gap. Cleared at the end of every packet sent.  
LTX_BRD - Last transmit frame was a broadcast. Set if frame was broadcast. Cleared at the start of  
every transmit frame.

SQET - Signal Quality Error Test. This bit is set under the following conditions:  
1. LAN91C111 is set to operate in Half Duplex mode (SWFDUP=0);  
2. When STP_SQET=1 and SWFDUP=0, SQET bit will be set upon completion of a transmit  
operation and no SQET Pulse has occurred during the IPG (Inter Frame Gap). If a pulse has  
occurred during the IPG, SQET bit will not get set.  
3. Once SQET bit is set, setting the TXENA bit in TCR register, or via hardware /software reset can  
clear this bit.  
16COL - 16 collisions reached. Set when 16 collisions are detected for a transmit frame. TXENA bit  
in TCR is reset. Cleared when TXENA is set high.  
LTX_MULT - Last transmit frame was a multicast. Set if frame was a multicast. Cleared at the start  
of every transmit frame.  
MULCOL - Multiple collision detected for the last transmit frame. Set when more than one collision  
was experienced. Cleared when TX_SUC is high at the end of the packet being sent.  
SNGLCOL - Single collision detected for the last transmit frame. Set when a collision is detected.  
Cleared when TX_SUC is high at the end of the packet being sent.  
TX_SUC - Last transmit was successful. Set if transmit completes without a fatal error. This bit is  
cleared by the start of a new frame transmission or when TXENA is set high. Fatal errors are:  
16 collisions (1/2 duplex mode only)  
SQET fail and STP_SQET = 1 (1/2 duplex mode only)  
Carrier lost and MON_CSN = 1 (1/2 duplex mode only)  
Late collision (1/2 duplex mode only)

ABORT_ENB - Enables abort of receive when collision occurs. Defaults low. When set, the  
LAN91C111 will automatically abort a packet being received when the appropriate collision input is  
activated. This bit has no effect if the SWFDUP bit in the TCR is set.  
STRIP_CRC - When set, it strips the CRC on received frames. As a result, both the Byte Count and  
the frame format do not contain the CRC. When clear, the CRC is stored in memory following the  
packet. Defaults low.  
RXEN - Enables the receiver when set. If cleared, completes receiving current frame and then goes  
idle. Defaults low on reset.  
ALMUL - When set accepts all multicast frames (frames in which the first bit of DA is '1'). When clear  
accepts only the multicast frames that match the multicast table setting. Defaults low.  
PRMS - Promiscuous mode. When set receives all frames. Does not receive its own transmission  
unless it is in Full Duplex!  
RX_ABORT - This bit is set if a receive frame was aborted due to length longer than 2K bytes. The  
frame will not be received. The bit is cleared by RESET or by the CPU writing it low.

Each four bit counter is incremented every time the corresponding event, as defined in the EPH  
STATUS REGISTER bit description, occurs. Note that the counters can only increment once per  
enqueued transmit packet, never faster, limiting the rate of interrupts that can be generated by the  
counters. For example if a packet is successfully transmitted after one collision the SINGLE  
COLLISION COUNT field is incremented by one. If a packet experiences between 2 to 16 collisions,  
the MULTIPLE COLLISION COUNT field is incremented by one. If a packet experiences deferral the  
NUMBER OF DEFERRED TX field is incremented by one, even if the packet experienced multiple  
deferrals during its collision retries.  
The COUNTER REGISTER facilitates maintaining statistics in the AUTO RELEASE mode where no  
transmit interrupts are generated on successful transmissions.  
Reading the register in the transmit service routine will be enough to maintain statistics.

EPH Power EN - Used to selectively power transition the EPH to a low power mode. When this bit is  
cleared (0), the Host will place the EPH into a low power mode. The Ethernet MAC will gate the 25Mhz  
TX and RX clock so that the Ethernet MAC will no longer be able to receive and transmit packets. The  
Host interface however, will still be active allowing the Host access to the device through Standard IO  
access. All LAN91C111 registers will still be accessible. However, status and control will not be allowed  
until the EPH Power EN bit is set AND a RESET MMU command is initiated.  
NO WAIT - When set, does not request additional wait states. An exception to this are accesses to  
the Data Register if not ready for a transfer. When clear, negates ARDY for two to three clocks on  
any cycle to the LAN91C111.  
GPCNTRL - This bit is a general purpose output port. Its inverse value drives pin nCNTRL and it is  
typically connected to a SELECT pin of the external PHY device such as a power enable. It can be  
used to select the signaling mode for the external PHY or as a general purpose non-volatile  
configuration pin. Defaults low.  
EXT PHY – External PHY Enabled.  
This bit, when set (1):  
a. Enables the external MII.  
b. The Internal PHY is disabled and is disconnected (Tri-stated from the internal MII along with any  
sideband signals (such as MDINT) going to the MAC Core).  
When this bit is cleared (0 - Default):  
a. The internal PHY is enabled.  
b. The external MII pins, including the MII Management interface pins are tri-stated.  
Reserved – Reserved bits.

A15 - A13 and A9 - A5 - These bits are compared against the I/O address on the bus to determine  
the IOBASE for the LAN91C111‘s registers. The 64k I/O space is fully decoded by the LAN91C111  
down to a 16 location space, therefore the unspecified address lines A4, A10, A11 and A12 must be  
all zeros.  
All bits in this register are loaded from the serial EEPROM. The I/O base decode defaults to 300h  
(namely, the high byte defaults to 18h).

This register can be used as a way of storing and retrieving non-volatile information in the EEPROM  
to be used by the software driver. The storage is word oriented, and the EEPROM word address to  
be read or written is specified using the six lowest bits of the Pointer Register.  
This register can also be used to sequentially program the Individual Address area of the EEPROM,  
that is normally protected from accidental Store operations.  
This register will be used for EEPROM read and write only when the EEPROM SELECT bit in the  
Control Register is set. This allows generic EEPROM read and write routines that do not affect the  
basic setup of the LAN91C111.

RCV_BAD - When set, bad CRC packets are received. When clear bad CRC packets do not generate  
interrupts and their memory is released.  
AUTO RELEASE - When set, transmit pages are released by transmit completion if the transmission  
was successful (when TX_SUC is set). In that case there is no status word associated with its packet  
number, and successful packet numbers are not even written into the TX COMPLETION FIFO.  
A
sequence of transmit packets will generate an interrupt only when the sequence is completely  
transmitted (TX EMPTY INT will be set), or when a packet in the sequence experiences a fatal error  
(TX INT will be set). Upon a fatal error TXENA is cleared and the transmission sequence stops. The  
packet number that failed, is present in the FIFO PORTS register, and its pages are not released,  
allowing the CPU to restart the sequence after corrective action is taken.  
LE ENABLE - Link Error Enable. When set it enables the LINK_OK bit transition as one of the  
interrupts merged into the EPH INT bit. Clearing the LE ENABLE bit after an EPH INT interrupt, caused  
by a LINK_OK transition, will acknowledge the interrupt. LE ENABLE defaults low (disabled).  
CR ENABLE - Counter Roll over Enable. When set, it enables the CTR_ROL bit as one of the  
interrupts merged into the EPH INT bit. Reading the COUNTER register after an EPH INT interrupt  
caused by a counter rollover, will acknowledge the interrupt. CR ENABLE defaults low (disabled).  
TE ENABLE - Transmit Error Enable. When set it enables Transmit Error as one of the interrupts  
merged into the EPH INT bit. An EPH INT interrupt caused by a transmitter error is acknowledged by  
setting TXENA bit in the TCR register to 1 or by clearing the TE ENABLE bit. TE ENABLE defaults  
low (disabled). Transmit Error is any condition that clears TXENA with TX_SUC staying low as  
described in the EPHSR register.  
EEPROM SELECT - This bit allows the CPU to specify which registers the EEPROM RELOAD or  
STORE refers to. When high, the General Purpose Register is the only register read or written. When  
low, RELOAD reads Configuration, Base and Individual Address, and STORE writes the Configuration  
and Base registers.  
RELOAD - When set it will read the EEPROM and update relevant registers with its contents. Clears  
upon completing the operation.  
STORE - When set, stores the contents of all relevant registers in the serial EEPROM. Clears upon  
completing the operation.  
Note: When an EEPROM access is in progress the STORE and RELOAD bits will be read back as  
high. The remaining 14 bits of this register will be invalid. During this time attempted read/write  
operations, other than polling the EEPROM status, will NOT have any effect on the internal  
registers. The CPU can resume accesses to the LAN91C111 after both bits are low. A worst  
case RELOAD operation initiated by RESET or by software takes less than 750 μs.

on the last receive packet to the time when receive FIFO is empty depends on  
RX INT bit turning low. An alternate approach can be checking the read RX FIFO  
register.

in a more flexible way than 4).

111  
7
RESET TX FIFOs - This command will reset both TX FIFOs: The TX FIFO  
holding the packet numbers awaiting transmission and the TX Completion FIFO.  
This command provides a mechanism for canceling packet transmissions, and  
reordering or bypassing the transmit queue. The RESET TX FIFOs command  
should only be used when the transmitter is disabled. Unlike the RESET MMU  
command, the RESET TX FIFOs does not release any memory.  
Note:  
When using the RESET TX FIFOS command, the CPU is responsible for releasing the memory  
associated with outstanding packets, or re-enqueuing them. Packet numbers in the completion  
FIFO can be read via the FIFO ports register before issuing the command.  
MMU commands releasing memory (commands 4 and 5) should only be issued if the  
corresponding packet number has memory allocated to it.  
COMMAND SEQUENCING  
A second allocate command (command 1) should not be issued until the present one has completed.  
Completion is determined by reading the FAILED bit of the allocation result register or through the  
allocation interrupt.  
A second release command (commands 4, 5) should not be issued if the previous one is still being  
processed. The BUSY bit indicates that a release command is in progress. After issuing command 5,  
the contents of the PNR should not be changed until BUSY goes low. After issuing command 4,  
command 3 should not be issued until BUSY goes low.  
BUSY BIT - Readable at bit 0 of the MMU command register address. When set indicates that MMU  
is still processing a release command. When clear, MMU has already completed last release  
command. BUSY and FAILED bits are set upon the trailing edge of command.

POINTER REGISTER - The value of this register determines the address to be accessed within the  
transmit or receive areas. It will auto-increment on accesses to the data register when AUTO INCR.  
is set. The increment is by one for every byte access, by two for every word access, and by four for  
every double word access. When RCV is set the address refers to the receive area and uses the  
output of RX FIFO as the packet number, when RCV is clear the address refers to the transmit area  
and uses the packet number at the Packet Number Register.  
READ - Determines the type of access to follow. If the READ bit is high the operation intended is a  
read. If the READ bit is low the operation is a write. Loading a new pointer value, with the READ bit  
high, generates a pre-fetch into the Data Register for read purposes.  
Readback of the pointer will indicate the value of the address last accessed by the CPU (rather than  
the last pre-fetched). This allows any interrupt routine that uses the pointer, to save it and restore it  
without affecting the process being interrupted. The Pointer Register should not be loaded until the  
Data Register FIFO is empty. The NOT EMPTY bit of this register can be read to determine if the  
FIFO is empty. On reads, if ARDY is not connected to the host, the Data Register should not be read  
before 370ns after the pointer was loaded to allow the Data Register FIFO to fill.  
If the pointer is loaded using 8 bit writes, the low byte should be loaded first and the high byte last.  
Reserved - Must be 0  
NOT EMPTY - When set indicates that the Write Data FIFO is not empty yet. The CPU can verify that  
the FIFO is empty before loading a new pointer value. This is a read only bit.  
Note: If AUTO INCR. is not set, the pointer must be loaded with a dword aligned value.

DATA REGISTER - Used to read or write the data buffer byte/word presently addressed by the pointer  
register.  
This register is mapped into two uni-directional FIFOs that allow moving words to and from the  
LAN91C111 regardless of whether the pointer address is even, odd or dword aligned. Data goes  
through the write FIFO into memory, and is pre-fetched from memory into the read FIFO. If byte  
accesses are used, the appropriate (next) byte can be accessed through the Data Low or Data High  
registers. The order to and from the FIFO is preserved. Byte, word and dword accesses can be mixed  
on the fly in any order.  
This register is mapped into two consecutive word locations to facilitate double word move operations  
regardless of the actual bus width (16 or 32 bits). The DATA register is accessible at any address in  
the 8 through Bh range, while the number of bytes being transferred is determined by A1 and nBE0-  
nBE3. The FIFOs are 12 bytes each.

This register can be read and written as a word or as two individual bytes.  
The Interrupt Mask Register bits enable the appropriate bits when high and disable them when low. A  
MASK bit being set will cause a hardware interrupt.  
MDINT - Set when the following bits in the PHY MI Register 18 (Serial Port Status Output Register)  
change state.  
1. LNKFAIL, 2) LOSSSYNC, 3) CWRD, 4) SSD, 5) ESD, 6) PROL, 7) JAB, 8) SPDDET, 9) DPLXDET.  
These bits automatically latch upon changing state and stay latched until they are read. When they  
are read, the bits that caused the interrupt to happen are updated to their current value. The MDINT  
bit will be cleared by writing the acknowledge register with MDINT bit set.  
Reserved - Must be 0  
EPH INT - Set when the Ethernet Protocol Handler section indicates one out of various possible  
special conditions. This bit merges exception type of interrupt sources, whose service time is not  
critical to the execution speed of the low level drivers. The exact nature of the interrupt can be obtained  
from the EPH Status Register (EPHSR), and enabling of these sources can be done via the Control  
Register. The possible sources are:  
LINK - Link Test transition  
CTR_ROL - Statistics counter roll over  
TXENA cleared - A fatal transmit error occurred forcing TXENA to be cleared. TX_SUC will be low and  
the specific reason will be reflected by the bits:  
SQET - SQE Error  
LOST CARR - Lost Carrier

LATCOL - Late Collision  
16COL - 16 collisions  
Any of the above interrupt sources can be masked by the appropriate ENABLE bits in the Control  
Register.  
1. 1) LE ENABLE (Link Error Enable), 2) CR ENABLE (Counter Roll Over), 3) TE ENABLE (Transmit  
Error Enable)  
EPH INT will only be cleared by the following methods:  
Clearing the LE ENABLE bit in the Control Register if an EPH interrupt is caused by a LINK_OK  
transition.  
Reading the Counter Register if an EPH interrupt is caused by statistics counter roll over.  
Setting TXENA bit high if an EPH interrupt is caused by any of the fatal transmit error listed above  
(3.1 to 3.5).  
RX_OVRN INT - Set when 1) the receiver aborts due to an overrun due to a failed memory allocation,  
2) the receiver aborts due to a packet length of greater than 2K bytes, or 3) the receiver aborts due  
to the RCV DISCRD bit in the RCV register set. The RX_OVRN INT bit latches the condition for the  
purpose of being polled or generating an interrupt, and will only be cleared by writing the acknowledge  
register with the RX_OVRN INT bit set.  
ALLOC INT - Set when an MMU request for TX ram pages is successful. This bit is the complement  
of the FAILED bit in the ALLOCATION RESULT register. The ALLOC INT bit is cleared by the MMU  
when the next allocation request is processed or allocation fails.  
TX EMPTY INT - Set if the TX FIFO goes empty, can be used to generate a single interrupt at the  
end of a sequence of packets enqueued for transmission. This bit latches the empty condition, and  
the bit will stay set until it is specifically cleared by writing the acknowledge register with the TX EMPTY  
INT bit set. If a real time reading of the FIFO empty is desired, the bit should be first cleared and then  
read.  
The TX_EMPTY MASK bit should only be set after the following steps:  
A packet is enqueued for transmission  
The previous empty condition is cleared (acknowledged)  
TX INT - Set when at least one packet transmission was completed or any of the below transmit fatal  
errors occurs:  
SQET - SQE Error  
LOST CARR - Lost Carrier  
LATCOL - Late Collision  
16COL - 16 collisions  
The first packet number to be serviced can be read from the FIFO PORTS register. The TX INT bit is  
always the logic complement of the TEMPTY bit in the FIFO PORTS register. After servicing a packet  
number, its TX INT interrupt is removed by writing the Interrupt Acknowledge Register with the TX INT  
bit set.  
RCV INT - Set when a receive interrupt is generated. The first packet number to be serviced can be  
read from the FIFO PORTS register. The RCV INT bit is always the logic complement of the REMPTY

The 64 bit multicast table is used for group address filtering. The hash value is defined as the six most  
significant bits of the CRC of the destination addresses. The three msb's determine the register to be  
used (MT0-MT7), while the other three determine the bit within the register.  
If the appropriate bit in the table is set, the packet is received.  
If the ALMUL bit in the RCR register is set, all multicast addresses are received regardless of the  
multicast table values.  
Hashing is only a partial group addressing filtering scheme, but being the hash value available as part  
of the receive status word, the receive routine can reduce the search time significantly. With the proper  
memory structure, the search is limited to comparing only the multicast addresses that have the actual  
hash value in question.

Chapter 9 PHY MII Registers  
Multiple Register Access  
Multiple registers can be accessed on a single PHY Ml serial port access cycle with the multiple  
register access features. The multiple register access features can be enabled by setting the multiple  
register access enables bit in the PHY Ml serial port Configuration 2 register. When multiple register  
access is enabled, multiple registers can be accessed on a single PHY Ml serial port access cycle by  
setting the register address to 11111 during the first 16 MDC clock cycles. There is no actual register  
residing in register address location 11111, so when the register address is then set to 11111, all eleven  
registers are accessed on the 176 rising edges of MDC that occur after the first 16 MDC clock cycles  
of the PHY Ml serial port access cycle. The registers are accessed in numerical order from 0 to 20.  
After all 192 MDC clocks have been completed, all the registers have been read/written, and the serial  
shift process is halted, data is latched into the device, and MDIO goes into high impedance state.  
Another serial shift cycle cannot be initiated until the idle condition (at least 32 continuous 1's) is  
detected.  
Bit Types  
Since the serial port is bi-directional, there are many types of bits. Write bits (W) are inputs during a  
write cycle and are high impedance during a read cycle. Read bits (R) are outputs during a read cycle  
and high impedance during a write cycle. Read/Write bits (RW) are actually write bits, which can be  
read out during a read cycle. R/WSC bits are R/W bits that are self-clearing after a set period of time  
or after a specific event has completed. R/LL bits are read bits that latch themselves when they go  
low, and they stay latched low until read. After they are read, they are reset high. R/LH bits are the  
same as R/LL bits except that they latch high. R/LT are read bits that latch themselves whenever they  
make a transition or change value, and they stay latched until they are read. After R/LT bits are read,  
they are updated to their current value. R/LT bits can also be programmed to assert the interrupt  
function.

Address  
If REGAD[4:0] = 00000-11110, these bits determine the specific  
register from which D[15:0] is read/written. If multiple register access  
is enabled and REGAD[4:0] = 11111, all registers are read/written in  
a single cycle.

Turnaround  
Time  
These bits provide some turnaround time for MDIO  
R/W  
When READ = 1, TA[1:0] = Z0  
When WRITE = 1, TA[1:0] = 10  
The turnaround time is a 2 bit time spacing between the Register  
Address field and the Data field of a management frame to avoid  
contention during a read transaction. For a read transaction, both the  
STA and the PHY shall remain in a high impedance state for the first  
bit time of the turnaround. The PHY shall drive a zero bit during the  
second bit time of the turnaround of a read transaction. During a  
write transaction, the STA shall drive a one bit for the first bit time of  
the turnaround and a zero bit for the second bit time of the  
turnaround.  
D[15:0]....  
Data  
These 16 bits contain data to/from one of the eleven registers

RST - Reset  
A ‘1’ written to this bit will initiate a reset of the PHY. The bit is self-clearing, and the PHY will return  
a ‘1’ on reads to this bit until the reset is completed. Write transactions to this register may be ignored  
while the PHY is processing the reset. All PHY registers will be driven to their default states after a  
reset. The internal PHY is guaranteed to be ready for normal operation 50 mS after the RST bit is  
set. Software driver requires to wait for 50mS after setting the RST bit to high to access the internal  
PHY again.  
LPBK - Loopback  
Writing a ‘1’ will put the PHY into loopback mode.  
Speed (Speed Selection)  
When Auto Negotiation is disabled this bit can be used to manually select the link speed. Writing a  
‘1’ to this bit selects 100 Mbps, a ‘0’ selects 10 Mbps.  
When Auto-Negotiation is enabled reading or writing this bit has no meaning/effect.  
ANEN_EN - Auto-Negotiation Enable  
Auto-negotiation (ANEG) is on when this bit is ‘1’. In that case the contents of bits Speed and Duplex  
are ignored and the ANEG process determines the link configuration.  
PDN - Power down  
Setting this bit to ‘1’ will put the PHY in PowerDown mode. In this state the PHY will respond to  
management transactions.  
MII_DIS - MII DISABLE  
Setting this bit will set the PHY to an isolated mode in which it will respond to MII management frames  
over the MII management interface but will ignore data on the MII data interface. The internal PHY  
is placed in isolation mode at power up and reset. It can be removed from isolation mode by clearing  
the MII_DIS bit in the PHY Control Register. If necessary, the internal PHY can be enabled by clearing  
the EXT_PHY bit in the Configuration Register.  
ANEG_RST - Auto-Negotiation Reset  
This bit will return 0 if the PHY does not support ANEG or if ANEG is disabled through the ANEG_EN  
bit. If neither of the previous is true, setting this bit to ‘1’ resets the ANEG process. This bit is self  
clearing and the PHY will return a ‘1’ until ANEG is initiated, writing a ‘0’ does not affect the ANEG  
process.

DPLX - Duplex mode  
When Auto Negotiation is disabled this bit can be used to manually select the link duplex state. Writing  
a ‘1’ to this bit selects full duplex while a ‘0’ selects half duplex.  
When Auto-Negotiation is enabled reading or writing this bit has no effect.  
COLTST - Collision test  
Setting a ‘1’ allows for testing of the MII COL signal. ‘0’ allows normal operation.

Chapter 10 Software Driver and Hardware Sequence  
Flow  
10.1 Software Driver and Hardware Sequence Flow for Power  
Management  
This section describes the sequence of events and the interaction between the Host Driver and the  
Ethernet controller to perform power management. The Ethernet controller has the ability to reduce its  
power consumption when the Device is not required to receive or transmit Ethernet Packets.  
Power Management is obtained by disabling the EPH clocks, including the Clocks derived from the  
Internal PHY block to reduce internal switching, this reducing current consumption.  
The Host interface however, will still be accessible. As discussed in Table 10.1 and Table 10.2, the  
tables describe the interaction between the EPH and Host driver allowing the Device to transition from  
low power state to normal functionality and vice versa.

A packet is received with matching address. Memory  
is requested from MMU. A packet number is  
assigned to it. Additional memory is requested if  
more pages are needed.

The internal DMA logic generates sequential  
addresses and writes the receive words into memory.  
The MMU does the sequential to physical address  
translation. If overrun, packet is dropped and  
memory is released.  
When the end of packet is detected, the status word  
is placed at the beginning of the receive packet in  
memory. Byte count is placed at the second word. If  
the CRC checks correctly the packet number is  
written into the RX FIFO. The RX FIFO, being not  
empty, causes RCV INT (interrupt) to be set. The  
RCV_BAD bit of the Bank 1 Control Register controls  
whether or not to generate interrupts when bad CRC  
packets are received.  
5
SERVICE INTERRUPT - Read the Interrupt Status  
Register and determine if RCV INT is set. The next  
receive packet is at receive area. (Its packet number  
can be read from the FIFO Ports Register). The  
software driver can process the packet by accessing  
the RX area, and can move it out to system memory  
if desired. When processing is complete the CPU  
issues the REMOVE AND RELEASE FROM TOP OF  
RX command to have the MMU free up the used  
memory and packet number.

MEMORY PARTITIONING  
Unlike other controllers, the LAN91C111 does not require a fixed memory partitioning between transmit  
and receive resources. The MMU allocates and de-allocates memory upon different events. An  
additional mechanism allows the CPU to prevent the receive process from starving the transmit  
memory allocation.  
Memory is always requested by the side that needs to write into it, that is: the CPU for transmit or the  
MAC for receive. The CPU can control the number of bytes it requests for transmit but it cannot  
determine the number of bytes the receive process is going to demand. Furthermore, the receive  
process requests will be dependent on network traffic, in particular on the arrival of broadcast and

multicast packets that might not be for the node, and that are not subject to upper layer software flow  
control.  
INTERRUPT GENERATION  
The interrupt strategy for the transmit and receive processes is such that it does not represent the  
bottleneck in the transmit and receive queue management between the software driver and the  
controller. For that purpose there is no register reading necessary before the next element in the  
queue (namely transmit or receive packet) can be handled by the controller. The transmit and receive  
results are placed in memory.  
The receive interrupt will be generated when the receive queue (FIFO of packets) is not empty and  
receive interrupts are enabled. This allows the interrupt service routine to process many receive  
packets without exiting, or one at a time if the ISR just returns after processing and removing one.  
There are two types of transmit interrupt strategies:  
1. One interrupt per packet.  
2. One interrupt per sequence of packets.  
The strategy is determined by how the transmit interrupt bits and the AUTO RELEASE bit are used.  
TX INT bit - Set whenever the TX completion FIFO is not empty.  
TX EMPTY INT bit - Set whenever the TX FIFO is empty.  
AUTO RELEASE - When set, successful transmit packets are not written into completion FIFO, and  
their memory is released automatically.  
1. One interrupt per packet: enable TX INT, set AUTO RELEASE=0. The software driver can find the  
completion result in memory and process the interrupt one packet at a time. Depending on the  
completion code the driver will take different actions. Note that the transmit process is working in  
parallel and other transmissions might be taking place. The LAN91C111 is virtually queuing the  
packet numbers and their status words.  
In this case, the transmit interrupt service routine can find the next packet number to be serviced by  
reading the TX FIFO PACKET NUMBER at the FIFO PORTS register. This eliminates the need for the  
driver to keep a list of packet numbers being transmitted. The numbers are queued by the LAN91C111  
and provided back to the CPU as their transmission completes.  
2. One interrupt per sequence of packets: Enable TX EMPTY INT and TX INT, set AUTO  
RELEASE=1. TX EMPTY INT is generated only after transmitting the last packet in the FIFO.  
TX INT will be set on a fatal transmit error allowing the CPU to know that the transmit process has  
stopped and therefore the FIFO will not be emptied.  
This mode has the advantage of a smaller CPU overhead, and faster memory de-allocation. Note that  
when AUTO RELEASE=1 the CPU is not provided with the packet numbers that completed  
successfully.  
Note: The pointer register is shared by any process accessing the LAN91C111 memory. In order to  
allow processes to be interruptible, the interrupting process is responsible for reading the  
pointer value before modifying it, saving it, and restoring it before returning from the interrupt.  
Typically there would be three processes using the pointer:  
1. Transmit loading (sometimes interrupt driven)  
2. Receive unloading (interrupt driven)  
3. Transmit Status reading (interrupt driven).  
1) and 3) also share the usage of the Packet Number Register. Therefore saving and restoring the  
PNR is also required from interrupt service routines.

Chapter 11 Board Setup Information  
The following parameters are obtained from the EEPROM as board setup information:  
ETHERNET INDIVIDUAL ADDRESS  
I/O BASE ADDRESS  
MII INTERFACE  
All the above mentioned values are read from the EEPROM upon hardware reset. Except for the  
INDIVIDUAL ADDRESS, the value of the IOS switches determines the offset within the EEPROM for  
these parameters, in such a way that many identical boards can be plugged into the same system by  
just changing the IOS jumpers.  
In order to support a software utility based installation, even if the EEPROM was never programmed,  
the EEPROM can be written using the LAN91C111. One of the IOS combination is associated with a  
fixed default value for the key parameters (I/O BASE) that can always be used regardless of the  
EEPROM based value being programmed. This value will be used if all IOS pins are left open or pulled  
high.  
The EEPROM is arranged as a 64 x 16 array. The specific target device is the 9346 1024-bit Serial  
EEPROM. All EEPROM accesses are done in words. All EEPROM addresses in the spec are  
specified as word addresses.  
REGISTER  
Configuration Register  
Base Register  
EEPROM WORD ADDRESS  
IOS Value * 4  
(IOS Value * 4) + 1  
INDIVIDUAL ADDRESS 20-22 hex  
If IOS2-IOS0 = 7, only the INDIVIDUAL ADDRESS is read from the EEPROM. Currently assigned  
values are assumed for the other registers. These values are default if the EEPROM read operation  
follows hardware reset.  
The EEPROM SELECT bit is used to determine the type of EEPROM operation: a) normal or b)  
general purpose register.  
1. NORMAL EEPROM OPERATION - EEPROM SELECT bit = 0  
On EEPROM read operations (after reset or after setting RELOAD high) the CONFIGURATION  
REGISTER and BASE REGISTER are updated with the EEPROM values at locations defined by the  
IOS2-0 pins. The INDIVIDUAL ADDRESS registers are updated with the values stored in the  
INDIVIDUAL ADDRESS area of the EEPROM.  
On EEPROM write operations (after setting the STORE bit) the values of the CONFIGURATION  
REGISTER and BASE REGISTER are written in the EEPROM locations defined by the IOS2-IOS0  
pins.  
The three least significant bits of the CONTROL REGISTER (EEPROM SELECT, RELOAD and  
STORE) are used to control the EEPROM. Their values are not stored nor loaded from the EEPROM.  
2. GENERAL PURPOSE REGISTER - EEPROM SELECT bit = 1  
On EEPROM read operations (after setting RELOAD high) the EEPROM word address defined by the  
POINTER REGISTER 6 least significant bits is read into the GENERAL PURPOSE REGISTER.  
On EEPROM write operations (after setting the STORE bit) the value of the GENERAL PURPOSE  
REGISTER is written at the EEPROM word address defined by the POINTER REGISTER 6 least  
significant bits.  
RELOAD and STORE are set by the user to initiate read and write operations respectively. Polling the  
value until read low is used to determine completion. When an EEPROM access is in progress the

Datasheet  
STORE and RELOAD bits of CTR will readback as both bits high. No other bits of the LAN91C111 can  
be read or written until the EEPROM operation completes and both bits are clear. This mechanism is  
also valid for reset initiated reloads.  
Note: If no EEPROM is connected to the LAN91C111, for example for some embedded applications,  
the ENEEP pin should be grounded and no accesses to the EEPROM will be attempted.  
Configuration, Base, and Individual Address assume their default values upon hardware reset  
and the CPU is responsible for programming them for their final value.

Chapter 12 Application Considerations  
The LAN91C111 is envisioned to fit a few different bus types. This section describes the basic  
guidelines, system level implications and sample configurations for the most relevant bus types. All  
applications are based on buffered architectures with a private SRAM bus.  
FAST ETHERNET SLAVE ADAPTER  
Slave non-intelligent board implementing 100 Mbps and 10 Mbps speeds.  
Adapter requires:  
1. LAN91C111 chip  
2. Serial EEPROM (93C46)  
3. Some bus specific glue logic  
Target systems:  
1. VL Local Bus 32 bit systems  
2. High-end ISA or non-burst EISA machines  
3. EISA 32 bit slave  
VL Local Bus 32 Bit Systems  
On VL Local Bus and other 32 bit embedded systems the LAN91C111 is accessed as a 32 bit  
peripheral in terms of the bus interface. All registers except the DATA REGISTER will be accessed  
using byte or word instructions. Accesses to the DATA REGISTER could use byte, word, or dword  
instructions.

Figure 12.2 LAN91C111 on ISA BUS  
EISA 32 BIT SLAVE  
On EISA the LAN91C111 is accessed as a 32 bit I/O slave, along with a Slave DMA type "C" data  
path option. As an I/O slave, the LAN91C111 uses asynchronous accesses. In creating nRD and nWR  
inputs, the timing information is externally derived from nCMD edges. Given that the access will be at  
least 1.5 to 2 clocks (more than 180ns at least) there is no need to negate EXRDY, simplifying the  
EISA interface implementation. As a DMA Slave, the LAN91C111 accepts burst transfers and is able  
to sustain the peak rate of one doubleword every BCLK. Doubleword alignment is assumed for DMA  
transfers. The LAN91C111 will sample EXRDY and postpone DMA cycles if the memory cycle solicits  
wait states.
