Section 20 Ethernet Controller (EtherC)
20.4
Operation
The overview of the Ethernet controller (EtherC) are shown below. The EtherC transmits and
receives PAUSE frames conforming to the Ethernet/IEEE802.3 frames.
20.4.1
Transmission
In response to a transmit request from the E-DMAC, the EtherC transmitter arranges the transmit
data into a frame and outputs to the RMII. The transmit data that has gone through the RMII is
output onto the lines by the PHY-LSI. Figure 20.2 shows the state transition of the EtherC
transmitter.
