EMAC Peripheral Register Description(s)
TMS320DM6437
Digital Media Processor
SPRS345B–NOVEMBER 2006–REVISED MARCH 2007
The Ethernet Media Access Controller (EMAC) provides an efficient interface between DM6437 and the
network. The DM6437 EMAC supports both 10Base-T (10 Mbits/second [Mbps]) and 100Base-TX (100
Mbps) in either half- or full-duplex mode. The EMAC module also supports hardware flow control and
quality of service (QOS) support.
The EMAC controls the flow of packet data from the DM6437 device to the PHY. The MDIO module
controls PHY configuration and status monitoring.
The EMAC module conforms to the IEEE 802.3-2002 standard, describing the “Carrier Sense Multiple
Access with Collision Detection (CSMA/CD) Access Method and Physical Layer” specifications. The IEEE
802.3 standard has also been adopted by ISO/IEC and re-designated as ISO/IEC 8802-3:2000(E).
Deviation from this standard, the EMAC module does not use the Transmit Coding Error signal MTXER.
Instead of driving the error pin when an underflow condition occurs on a transmitted frame, the EMAC will
intentionally generate an incorrect checksum by inverting the frame CRC, so that the transmitted frame
will be detected as an error by the network.
Both the EMAC and the MDIO modules interface to the DM6437 device through a custom interface that
allows efficient data transmission and reception. This custom interface is referred to as the EMAC control
module, and is considered integral to the EMAC/MDIO peripheral. The control module is also used to
multiplex and control interrupts.
