TheEthernetMediaAccessController(EMAC)moduleprovidesanefficientinterfacebetweentheC6455
DSPcoreprocessorandthenetworkedcommunity.TheEMACsupports10Base-T(10Mbits/second
[Mbps]),and100BaseTX(100Mbps),ineitherhalf-orfull-duplexmode,and1000BaseT(1000Mbps)in
full-duplexmode,withhardwareflowcontrolandquality-of-service(QOS)support.
TheEMACmoduleconformstotheIEEE802.3-2002standard,describingthe“CarrierSenseMultiple
AccesswithCollisionDetection(CSMA/CD)AccessMethodandPhysicalLayer”specifications.TheIEEE
802.3standardhasalsobeenadoptedbyISO/IECandre-designatedasISO/IEC8802-3:2000(E).
