Magic Packet Detection
Setting the Magic Packet Enable bit (MPEN) in the “WUCSR—Wake-up Control and Status Register”,
places the LAN9217 MAC in the “Magic Packet” detection mode. In this mode, normal data reception
is disabled, and detection logic within the MAC examines receive data for a Magic Packet. The
LAN9217 can be programmed to notify the host of the “Magic Packet” detection with the assertion of
the host interrupt (IRQ) or assertion of the power management event signal (PME). Upon detection,
the Magic Packet Received bit (MPR) in the WUCSR is set. When the host clears the MPEN bit the
LAN9217 will resume normal receive operation. Please refer to Section 5.4.12, "WUCSR—Wake-up
Control and Status Register," on page 107 for additional information on this register
In Magic Packet mode, the Power Management Logic constantly monitors each frame addressed to
the node for a specific Magic Packet pattern. It checks only packets with the MAC’s address or a
broadcast address to meet the Magic Packet requirement. The Power Management Logic checks each
received frame for the pattern 48h FF_FF_FF_FF_FF_FF after the destination and source address
field.
Then the Function looks in the frame for 16 repetitions of the MAC address without any breaks or
interruptions. In case of a break in the 16 address repetitions, the PMT Function scans for the
48'hFF_FF_FF_FF_FF_FF pattern again in the incoming frame.
The 16 repetitions may be anywhere in the frame but must be preceded by the synchronization stream.
The device will also accept a multicast frame, as long as it detects the 16 duplications of the MAC
address. If the MAC address of a node is 00h 11h 22h 33h 44h 55h, then the MAC scans for the
following data sequence in an Ethernet: Frame.
Destination Address Source Address ……………FF FF FF FF FF FF

It should be noted that Magic Packet detection can be performed when LAN9217 is in the D0 or D1
power states. In the D0 state, “Magic Packet” detection is enabled when the MPEN bit is set. In the
D1 state, Magic Packet detection, as well as wake-up frame detection, are automatically enabled when
the device enters the D1 state.

Host Bus Operations
3.6.1 Bus Writes
The host processor is required to perform two contiguous 16-bit writes to complete a single DWORD
transfer. This DWORD must begin and end on a DWORD address boundary (A[2] and higher, cannot
change during a sixteen bit write). No ordering requirements exist. The processor can access either
the low or high word first, as long as the next write is performed to the other word. If a write to the
same word is performed, the LAN9217 disregards the transfer.
3.6.2 Bus Reads
The host processor is required to perform two consecutive 16-bit reads to complete a single DWORD
transfer. This DWORD must begin and end on a DWORD address boundary (A[2] and higher, cannot
change during a sixteen bit read). No ordering requirements exist. The processor can access either
the low or high word first, as long as the next read is performed from the other word. If a read to the
