Ethernet MAC
The Ethernet Media Access Controller (MAC) peripheral for the
ADSP-BF536 and ADSP-BF537 processors provides a 10/100 Mbit/sec-
ond Ethernet interface, compliant with IEEE Std. 802.3-2002, between a
Media Independent Interface (MII) and the Blackfin peripheral sub-
system. The MAC operates in both half-duplex and full-duplex modes. It
provides programmable enhanced features designed to minimize bus utili-
zation and pre- or post-message processing. The connection to the
external physical layer device (PHY) is achieved via the MII or a Reduced
Media Independent Interface (RMII). The RMII provides data buses half
as wide (2 bit vs. 4 bit) as those of an MII, operating at double the
frequency.
The MAC is clocked internally from the
CLKIN
pin on the processor. A
buffered version of this clock can also be used to drive the external PHY
via the
CLKBUF
pin. A 25 MHz source should be used with an MII PHY.
A 50 MHz clock source is required to drive an RMII PHY.
Parallel Peripheral Interface
The processor provides a Parallel Peripheral Interface (PPI) that can con-
nect directly to parallel A/D and D/A converters, ITU-R 601/656 video
encoders and decoders, and other general-purpose peripherals. The PPI
consists of a dedicated input clock pin and three multiplexed frame sync
pins. The input clock supports parallel data rates up to half the system
clock rate.
In ITU-R 656 modes, the PPI receives and parses a data stream of 8-bit or
10-bit data elements. On-chip decode of embedded preamble control and
synchronization information is supported.
