24.0 ETHERNET CONTROLLER
Note 1: This data sheet summarizes the features
of the PIC32MX5XX/6XX/7XX family of
devices. It is not intended to be a
comprehensive reference source. To
complement the information in this data
sheet, refer to Section 35. “Ethernet
Controller” (DS61155) in the “PIC32
Family Reference Manual”, which is
available from the Microchip web site
(www.microchip.com/PIC32).
2: Some registers and associated bits
described in this section may not be
available on all devices. Refer to
Section 4.0 “Memory Organization” in
this data sheet for device-specific register
and bit information.
The Ethernet controller is a bus master module that
interfaces with an off-chip Physical Layer (PHY) to
implement a complete Ethernet node in a system.
Following are some of the key features of this module:
• Supports 10/100 Mbps data transfer rates
• Supports full-duplex and half-duplex operation
• Supports RMII and MII PHY interface
• Supports MIIM PHY management interface
• Supports both manual and automatic flow control
• RAM descriptor-based DMA operation for both
receive and transmit path
• Fully configurable interrupts
• Configurable receive packet filtering
- CRC check
- 64-byte pattern match
- Broadcast, multicast and unicast packets
- Magic Packet™
- 64-bit hash table
- Runt packet
• Supports packet payload checksum calculation
• Supports various hardware statistics counters
Figure 24-1 illustrates a block diagram of the Ethernet
controller.
