Table 65. MAC Control Register (MACCONTROL) Field Descriptions (continued)
Bit Field Value Description
12 RXFIFOFLOWEN Receive FIFO flow control enable
0 Receive flow control disabled. For full-duplex mode, no outgoing pause frames are sent.
1 Receive flow control enabled. For full-duplex mode, outgoing pause frames are sent when
receive FIFO flow control is triggered.
11 CMDIDLE Command Idle bit
0 Idle not commanded
1 Idle commanded (read IDLE in the MACSTATUS register)
10 Reserved 0 Reserved
9 TXPTYPE Transmit queue priority type
0 The queue uses a round-robin scheme to select the next channel for transmission
1 The queue uses a fixed-priority (channel 7 highest priority) scheme to select the next channel
for transmission
8 Reserved 0 Reserved
7 GIG Gigabit mode
0 Gigabit mode is disabled; 10/100 mode is in operation
1 Gigabit mode is enabled (full-duplex only)
6 TXPACE Transmit pacing enable bit
0 Transmit pacing is disabled
1 Transmit pacing is enabled
5 GMIIEN GMII enable bit
0 GMII RX and TX are held in reset
1 GMII RX and TX are enabled for receive and transmit
4 TXFLOWEN Transmit flow control enable bit. This bit determines if incoming pause frames are acted upon
in full-duplex mode. Incoming pause frames are not acted upon in half-duplex mode,
regardless of this bit setting. The RXMBPENABLE bits determine whether or not received
pause frames are transferred to memory.
0 Transmit flow control is disabled. Full-duplex mode: incoming pause frames are not acted
upon.
1 Transmit flow control is enabled. Full-duplex mode: incoming pause frames are acted upon.
3 RXBUFFERFLOWEN Receive buffer flow control enable bit
0 Receive flow control is disabled. Half-duplex mode: no flow control generated collisions are
sent. Full-duplex mode: no outgoing pause frames are sent.
1 Receive flow control is enabled. Half-duplex mode: collisions are initiated when receive buffer
flow control is triggered. Full-duplex mode: outgoing pause frames are sent when receive flow
control is triggered.
2 Reserved 0 Reserved
1 LOOPBACK Loopback mode. The loopback mode forces internal full-duplex mode regardless of the
FULLDUPLEX bit. The loopback bit should be changed only when the GMIIEN bit is
de-asserted.
0 Loopback mode is disabled
1 Loopback mode is enabled
0 FULLDUPLEX Full duplex mode. The gigabit mode forces full duplex mode regardless of whether the
FULLDUPLEX bit is set or not.
0 Half-duplex mode is enabled
1 Full-duplex mode is enabled
