Chapter 11: LPC24XX Ethernet
The interrupt set register is write-only. Writing a 1 to a bit of the IntSet register sets the
corresponding bit in the status register. Writing a 0 will not affect the interrupt status.

7.4.5 Power Down Register (PowerDown - 0xFFE0 0FF4)

The Power-Down register (PowerDown) is used to block all AHB accesses except
accesses to the PowerDown register. The register has an address of 0xFFE00FF4. The
bit definition of the register is listed in Table11–232.
Setting the bit will return an error on all read and write accesses on the MACAHB interface
except for accesses to the PowerDown register.
8. Descriptor and status formats
This section defines the descriptor format for the transmit and receive scatter/gather DMA
engines. Each Ethernet frame can consist of one or more fragments. Each fragment
corresponds to a single descriptor. The DMA managers in the Ethernet block scatter (for
receive) and gather (for transmit) multiple fragments for a single Ethernet frame.

8.1 Receive descriptors and statuses

Figure 11–28 depicts the layout of the receive descriptors in memory.
