GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The LAN9220 is a full-featured, single-chip 10/100 Ethernet controller designed for embedded applications where performance, flexibility, ease of integration and system cost control are required. The LAN9220 is fully IEEE 802.3
10BASE-T and 802.3u 100BASE-TX compliant, and supports HP Auto-MDIX. The variable voltage I/O signals of the
LAN9220 accommodate lower voltage I/O signalling without the need for voltage level shifters.
The LAN9220 includes an integrated Ethernet MAC and PHY with a high-performance SRAM-like slave interface. The
simple, yet highly functional host bus interface provides a glue-less connection to most common 16-bit microprocessors
and microcontrollers as well as 32-bit microprocessors with a 16-bit external bus. The integrated checksum offload
engines enable the automatic generation of the 16-bit checksum for received and transmitted Ethernet frames, offloading the task from the CPU. The LAN9220 also includes large transmit and receive data FIFOs to accommodate high
latency applications. In addition, the LAN9220 memory buffer architecture allows highly efficient use of memory
resources by optimizing packet granularity.
Applications
The LAN9220 is well suited for many embedded applications, including:
•
•
•
•
•
Printers, kiosks, POS terminals and security systems
Audio distribution systems
General embedded systems
Basic cable, satellite and IP set-top boxes
Voice-over-IP solutions
The LAN9220 also supports features which reduce or eliminate packet loss. Its internal 16-KByte SRAM can hold over
200 received packets. If the receive FIFO gets too full, the LAN9220 can automatically generate flow control packets to
the remote node, or assert back-pressure on the remote node by generating network collisions.
The LAN9220 supports numerous power management and wakeup features. The LAN9220 can be placed in a reduced
power mode and can be programmed to issue an external wake signal via several methods, including “Magic Packet”,
“Wake on LAN” and “Link Status Change”. This signal is ideal for triggering system power-up using remote Ethernet
wakeup events. The device can be removed from the low power state via a host processor command.

The Microchip LAN9220 integrated 10/100 MAC/PHY controller is a peripheral chip that performs the function of translating parallel data from a host controller into Ethernet packets. The LAN9220 Ethernet MAC/PHY controller is designed
and optimized to function in an embedded environment. All communication is performed with programmed I/O transactions using the simple SRAM-like host interface bus.
The diagram shown above, describes a typical system configuration of the LAN9220 in a typical embedded environment.
The LAN9220 is a general purpose, platform independent, Ethernet controller. The LAN9220 consists of four major functional blocks. The four blocks are:

10/100 Ethernet PHY
The LAN9220 integrates an IEEE 802.3 physical layer for twisted pair Ethernet applications. The PHY can be configured
for either 100 Mbps (100BASE-TX) or 10 Mbps (10BASE-T) Ethernet operation in either full or half duplex configurations. The PHY block supports HP Auto-MDIX and auto-negotiation.
Minimal external components are required for the utilization of the Integrated PHY.
1.4
10/100 Ethernet MAC
The transmit and receive data paths are separate within the MAC allowing the highest performance especially in full
duplex mode. The data paths connect to the PIO interface Function via separate busses to increase performance. Payload data as well as transmit and receive status is passed on these busses.
A third internal bus is used to access the MAC’s Control and Status Registers (CSR’s). This bus is accessible from the
host through the PIO interface function.
On the backend, the MAC interfaces with the internal 10/100 PHY through a MII (Media Independent Interface) port
internal to the LAN9220. The MAC CSR's also provide a mechanism for accessing the PHY’s internal registers through
the internal SMI (Serial Management Interface) bus.
The MAC Interface Layer (MIL), within the MAC, contains a 2K Byte transmit and a 128 Byte receive FIFO which is separate from the TX and RX FIFOs. The FIFOs within the MAC are not directly accessible from the host interface. The
differentiation between the TX/RX FIFO memory buffers and the MAC buffers is that when the transmit or receive packets are in the MAC buffers, the host no longer can control or access the TX or RX data. The MAC buffers (both TX and
RX) are in effect the working buffers of the Ethernet MAC logic. In the case of reception, the data must be moved first
to the RX FIFOs for the host to access the data. For TX operations, the MIL operates in store-and-forward mode and
will queue an entire frame before beginning transmission.

LAN9220
1.5
Receive and Transmit FIFOs
The Receive and Transmit FIFOs allow increased packet buffer storage to the MAC. The FIFOs are a conduit between
the host interface and the MAC through which all transmitted and received data and status information is passed. Deep
FIFOs allow a high degree of latency tolerance relative to the various transport and OS software stacks thus reducing
or minimizing overrun conditions. Like the MAC, the FIFOs have separate receive and transmit data paths. In addition,
the RX and TX FIFOs are configurable in size, allowing increased flexibility.
1.6
Interrupt Controller
The LAN9220 supports a single programmable interrupt. The programmable nature of this interrupt allows the user the
ability to optimize performance dependent upon the application requirement. Both the polarity and buffer type of the
interrupt pin are configurable for the external interrupt processing. The interrupt line can be configured as an open-drain
output to facilitate the sharing of interrupts with other devices. In addition, a programmable interrupt de-assertion interval
is provided.
1.7
GPIO Interface
A 3-bit GPIO and 2-bit GPO (Multiplexed on the EEPROM and LED Pins) interface is included in the LAN9220. It is
accessible through the host bus interface via the CSRs. The GPIO signals can function as inputs, push-pull outputs and
open drain outputs. The GPIO’s (GPO’s are not configurable) can also be configured to trigger interrupts with programmable polarity.
1.8
Serial EEPROM Interface
A serial EEPROM interface is included in the LAN9220. The serial EEPROM is optional and can be programmed with
the LAN9220 MAC address. The LAN9220 can optionally load the MAC address automatically after hardware reset, or
soft reset.
1.9
Power Management Controls
The LAN9220 supports comprehensive array of power management modes to allow use in power sensitive applications.
Wake on LAN, Link Status Change and Magic Packet detection are supported by the LAN9220. An external PME (Power
Management Event) interrupt is provided to indicate detection of a wakeup event.
1.10
General Purpose Timer
The general-purpose timer has no dedicated function within the LAN9220 and may be programmed to issue a timed
interrupt.
1.11
Host Bus Interface (SRAM Interface)
The host bus interface provides a FIFO interface for the transmit and receive data paths, as well as an interface for the
LAN9220 Control and Status Registers (CSR’s).
The host bus interface is the primary bus for connection to the embedded host system. This interface models an asynchronous SRAM. TX FIFO, RX FIFO, and CSR’s are accessed through this interface. Programmed I/O transactions are
supported.
The LAN9220 host bus interface supports 16-bit bus transfers. Internally, all data paths are 32-bits wide. The LAN9220
can be interfaced to either Big-Endian or Little-Endian processors and includes mixed endian support for FIFO
accesses.
