RM0008
1016/1096
Doc ID 13902 Rev 12
Ethernet MAC address1 low register (ETH_MACA1LR)
Address offset: 0x004C
Reset value: 0xFFFF FFFF
The MAC address 1 low register holds the lower 32 bits of the 6-byte second MAC address
of the station.
Ethernet MAC address 2 high register (ETH_MACA2HR)
Address offset: 0x0050
Reset value: 0x0000 FFFF
The MAC address 2 high register holds the upper 16 bits of the 6-byte second MAC address
of the station.
Bits 15:0
MACA1H:
MAC address1 high [47:32]
This field contains the upper 16 bits (47:32) of the 6-byte second MAC address.

Bit 31
AE:
Address enable
When this bit is set, the address filters use the MAC address2 for perfect filtering. When reset,
the address filters ignore the address for filtering.
Bit 30
SA:
Source address
When this bit is set, the MAC address 2 [47:0] is used for comparison with the SA fields of the
received frame.
When this bit is reset, the MAC address 2 [47:0] is used for comparison with the DA fields of
the received frame.
Bits 29:24
MBC:
Mask byte control
These bits are mask control bits for comparison of each of the MAC address2 bytes. When set
high, the MAC core does not compare the corresponding byte of received DA/SA with the
contents of the MAC address 2 registers. Each bit controls the masking of the bytes as follows:
– Bit 29: ETH_MACA2HR [15:8]
– Bit 28: ETH_MACA2HR [7:0]
– Bit 27: ETH_MACA2LR [31:24]
…
– Bit 24: ETH_MACA2LR [7:0]
