Ethernet (ETH): media access control (MAC) with DMA controller
RM0008
1018/1096
Doc ID 13902 Rev 12
Ethernet MAC address 3 low register (ETH_MACA3LR)
Address offset: 0x005C
Reset value: 0xFFFF FFFF
The MAC address 3 low register holds the lower 32 bits of the 6-byte second MAC address
of the station.
Bits 29:24
MBC:
Mask byte control
These bits are mask control bits for comparison of each of the MAC address3 bytes. When
these bits are set high, the MAC core does not compare the corresponding byte of received
DA/SA with the contents of the MAC address 3 registers. Each bit controls the masking of the
bytes as follows:
– Bit 29: ETH_MACA3HR [15:8]
– Bit 28: ETH_MACA3HR [7:0]
– Bit 27: ETH_MACA3LR [31:24]
…
– Bit 24: ETH_MACA3LR [7:0]
Bits 23:16 Reserved
Bits 15:0
MACA3H:
MAC address3 high [47:32]
This field contains the upper 16 bits (47:32) of the 6-byte MAC address3.
