ETHERNET SYSTEM BLOCK DIAGRAM
The complete Ethernet subsystem shown in Figure 1-2 is divided into three sections:
•
The system bus interface and Direct Memory Access (DMA) engine
•
The Media Access Control (MAC) layer
•
The Physical or Medium Dependent Interface (MDI) layer
The PCI bus interface section contains transmit and receive data buffering, DMA control buffering, and a register
access module buffering.
The MAC layer consists of transmit and receive blocks, a Content Addressable Memory (CAM) for address
recognition, along with control, status, and error counter registers.
This representative PCI-based 100/10-Mbit/s Ethernet controller supports the Media Independent Interface (MII).
The MII is a standard for a media-independent layer which separates physical-layer issues from the MAC layer.
The MII is part of the ISO approved IEEE 802.3 100-Base-T standard for 100 Mbit/s Ethernet.
This specification describes a single chip which implements a Physical or MDI layer capable of accepting 100/10
Mbit/s Ethernet signals that provides a Media Independent Interface (MII) for connectivity to the MAC layer. It is
intended as an interface specification and an architectural overview of the device and its operation.
