32 bits
The MAC Address High register contains the upper 16-bits of the physical address of the MAC. The
contents of this register are optionally loaded from the EEPROM at power-on through the EEPROM
Controller if a programmed EEPROM is detected. The least significant byte of this register (bits [7:0])
is loaded from address 0x05 of the EEPROM. The second byte (bits [15:8]) is loaded from address
0x06 of the EEPROM. Please refer to Section 4.6 for more information on the EEPROM. Section 5.4.3
details the byte ordering of the ADDRL and ADDRH registers with respect to the reception of the
Ethernet physical address.
