IPGR2
Reserved
IPG Receive Time 2.
Specifies the total length of the IPG time for non back-to-
back transmissions. Measured in increments of the MAC
clock:
• 8 ns MAC clock when operating @ 1 Gbps (82544GC/EI
only).
• 80 ns MAC clock when operating @ 100 Mbps
• 800 ns MAC clock when operating @ 10 Mbps.
In order to calculate the actual IPG value, a value of six
should be added to the IPGR2 value as six MAC clocks are
used by the MAC for synchronization and internal engines.
For the IEEE 802.3 standard IPG value of 96-bit time, the
value that should be programmed into IPGR2 is six (total
IPG delay of 12 MAC clock cycles)
According to the IEEE802.3 standard, IPGR1 should be 2/3
of IPGR2 value.IPGR2 is significant only in half-duplex
mode of operation.
