TX Data FIFO Direct PIO Writes
Datasheet
In this mode the upper address inputs are not decoded, and any write to the LAN9116 will write the
TX Data FIFO. This mode is enabled when FIFO_SEL is driven high during a write access. This is
normally accomplished by connecting the FIFO_SEL signal to a high-order address line. This mode is
useful when the host processor must increment its address when accessing the LAN9116. Timing is
identical to a PIO write, and the FIFO_SEL signal has the same timing characteristics as the address
lines.
Timing for 16-bit and 32-bit cycles is identical with the exception that D[31:16] is ignored during a 16-
bit write. Note that address lines A[2:1] are still used when the LAN9116 is operating in 32-bit and 16-
bit mode. Address bits A[7:3] are ignored.

Note: A TX Data FIFO Direct PIO Write cycle begins when both nCS and nWR are asserted. The
cycle ends when either or both nCS and nWR are deasserted. They may be asserted and
deasserted in any order.
