Chapter 45
Fast Ethernet Controller (FEC)
This chapter describes the FECs as specifically implemented on the MPC885. To ensure proper
implementation of other derivatives of the MPC885 family,
Table 45-1
indicates which derivatives support
the FEC. Consult the appropriate appendix for further information.
The 10/100 fast Ethernet controller with integrated FIFOs and bursting DMA is implemented
independently, so high-performance fast Ethernet connectivity can be achieved without affecting the CPM
performance.
The MPC885 has 2 fast Ethernet controllers (FECs) (100 Mbps). To accommodate the additional FEC and
provide support for reduced media independent interfaces (RMII), the MPC885 has an additional register,
the Communications Processor Timing Register (CPTR), see
Section 45.3.1, “Communications Processor
Timing Register (CPTR).”
The two FECs support 10/100 Mbps Ethernet through a media independent interface (MII) and/or a
reduced media independent interface (RMII), according to the RMII Specification March 20, 1998.
The RMII use a single reference clock (50 MHz) and seven pins which are a proper subset of the MII
interface pins. All fast Ethernet controller features are the same in RMII mode as in MII mode.

Features
The following sections summarize key FEC features.
•
Two FECs - 10/100 base-T support
— Full compliance with the IEEE 802.3u standard for 10/100 base-T
— Support for five different physical interfaces: 100-Mbps 802.3 media-independent interface
(MII),100-Mbps 802.3 reduced media-independent interface (RMII), 10-Mbps 802.3 MII,
10-Mbps 802.3 RMII, and 10-Mbps 7-wire interface
— Large on-chip transmit and receive FIFOs to support a variety of bus latencies
— Retransmission from the transmit FIFO after a collision
— Automatic internal flushing of the receive FIFO for runts and collisions
