5.2.3Ethernet PHY Interrupts

The Port 1 and Port 2 PHYs each provide a set of identical interrupt sources. The top-level PHY_INT1 (bit 26) and PHY_INT2 (bit 27) of the Interrupt Status Register (INT_STS) provides indication that a PHY interrupt event occurred in the Port x PHY Interrupt Source Flags Register (PHY_INTERRUPT_SOURCE_x).

Port 1 and Port 2 PHY interrupts are enabled/disabled via their respective Port x PHY Interrupt Mask Register (PHY_INTERRUPT_MASK_x). The source of a PHY interrupt can be determined and cleared via the Port x PHY Interrupt Source Flags Register (PHY_INTERRUPT_SOURCE_x). The Port 1 and Port 2 PHYs are each capable of generating unique interrupts based on the following events:

„ENERGYON Activated

„Auto-Negotiation Complete

„Remote Fault Detected

„Link Down (Link Status Negated)

„Auto-Negotiation LP Acknowledge

„Parallel Detection Fault

„Auto-Negotiation Page Received

In order for a Port 1 or Port 2 interrupt event to trigger the external IRQ interrupt pin, the desired PHY interrupt event must be enabled in the corresponding Port x PHY Interrupt Mask Register (PHY_INTERRUPT_MASK_x), the PHY_INT1(Port 1 PHY) and/or PHY_INT2(Port 2 PHY) bits of the Interrupt Enable Register (INT_EN) must be set, and IRQ output must be enabled via bit 8 (IRQ_EN) of the Interrupt Configuration Register (IRQ_CFG).

For additional details on the Ethernet PHY interrupts, refer to Section 7.2.8.1, "PHY Interrupts," on page 94.

5.2.4GPIO Interrupts

Each GPIO[11:0] of the LAN9312 is provided with its own interrupt. The top-level GPIO (bit 12) of the Interrupt Status Register (INT_STS) provides indication that a GPIO interrupt event occurred in the General Purpose I/O Interrupt Status and Enable Register (GPIO_INT_STS_EN). The General Purpose I/O Interrupt Status and Enable Register (GPIO_INT_STS_EN) provides enabling/disabling and status of each GPIO[11:0] interrupt.

In order for a GPIO interrupt event to trigger the external IRQ interrupt pin, the desired GPIO interrupt must be enabled in the General Purpose I/O Interrupt Status and Enable Register (GPIO_INT_STS_EN), bit 12 (GPIO_EN) of the Interrupt Enable Register (INT_EN) must be set, and IRQ output must be enabled via bit 8 (IRQ_EN) of the Interrupt Configuration Register (IRQ_CFG).

For additional details on the GPIO interrupts, refer to Section 13.2.2, "GPIO Interrupts," on page 163.

5.2.5Host MAC Interrupts

The top-levelInterrupt Status Register (INT_STS), and Interrupt Enable Register (INT_EN) provide the status and enabling/disabling of multiple Host MAC related interrupts. All Host MAC interrupts are monitored and configured directly within these two registers. The following Host MAC related interrupt events are supported:

„TX Stopped

„RX Stopped

„RX Dropped Frame Counter Halfway

„TX IOC

„RX DMA
