9.3 Arbiter
Registers
The Arbiter manages the transport between the Ethernet port and the Serial Interface. It is responsible for
queuing and dequeuing data to an external SDRAM. The arbiter handles requests from the HDLC and MAC to
transfer data to/from the SDRAM. The base address of the Arbiter register space is 0040h.
9.3.1 Arbiter Register Bit Descriptions
Register Name:
AR.RQSC1
Register Description:
Arbiter Receive Queue Size Connection
Register Address:
40h
Bit
# 7 6 5 4 3 2 1 0
Name RQSC7 RQSC6 RQSC5 RQSC4 RQSC3 RQSC2 RQSC1 RQSC0
Default
0 0 1 1 1 1 0 1
Bits 7 to 0: Receive Queue Size (RQSC7 to RQSC0).
These 7 bits of the size of receive queue associated with
the connection. Receive queue is for data arriving from the MAC to be sent to the WAN. The Queue address size
is defined in increments of 32 x 2048 bytes. The queue size is AR.RQSC1 multiplied by 32 to determine the
number of 2048 byte packets that can be stored in the queue. This queue is constructed in the external SDRAM
.
Note: Queue size of 0 is not allowed and should never be set.
Register Name:
AR.TQSC1
Register Description:
Arbiter Transmit Queue Size Connection 1
Register Address:

Bits 7 to 0: Transmit Queue Size (TQSC7 to TQSC0).
This is size of transmit queue associated with the
connection. The queue address size is defined in increments of 32 packets. The range of bytes will depend on the
external SDRAM connected to the DS33Z41. Transmit queue is the data queue for data arriving on the WAN that
is sent to the MAC.
Note that queue size of 0 is not allowed and should never be set.
