6.2.7 Receive Buffer Size Register (R_BUFF_SIZE)
The R_BUFF_SIZE register, shown in Figure 6-7, is like the MRBLR register used by
other protocols. It speciÞes the maximum size of all receive buffers. It does not reset and
must be initialized by the user. Because the maximum frame is 2047 bytes, only bits 21Ð27
are used. This value should take into consideration that the receive CRC is always written
into the last receive buffer. To support frame lengths up to 1520 bytes, R_BUFF_SIZE must
be at least 0x0000_05F0. To ensure that R_BUFF_SIZE is a multiple of 16, bits 28Ð31 are
forced to zeros. Using buffers smaller than the recommended minimum 256 bytes increases
the risk of receive FIFO overßow due to the overhead of opening and closing buffers.
