DATASHEET
5.2.8
Software Interrupt
A general purpose software interrupt is provided in the top level
Interrupt Status Register (INT_STS)
and
Interrupt Enable Register (INT_EN)
. The SW_INT interrupt (bit 31) of the
is generated when SW_INT_EN (bit 31) of the
Interrupt Enable Register (INT_EN)
is set.
This interrupt provides an easy way for software to generate an interrupt, and is designed for general
software usage.
5.2.9
Device Ready Interrupt
A device ready interrupt is provided in the top-level
Interrupt Status Register (INT_STS)
and
. The READY interrupt (bit 30) of the
Interrupt Status Register (INT_STS)
indicates that the LAN9312 is ready to be accessed after a power-up or reset condition. Writing a 1 to
this bit in the
Interrupt Status Register (INT_STS)
will clear it.
In order for a device ready interrupt event to trigger the external IRQ interrupt pin, bit 30 of the
must be set, and IRQ output must be enabled via bit 8 (IRQ_EN) of the
Interrupt Configuration Register (IRQ_CFG)
.
