2.7.1Pacing Block
In simple terms, interrupt pacing represents delaying the initial EMAC events to CPU interrupt based on certain criteria. The pacing block is the basic building block for the interrupt pacing operation. One of the motivations for interrupt pacing is that during Ethernet operation, hundreds or thousands of interrupts are generated per second for packets transmitted or received and interrupt pacing relieves the CPU of the burden of processing every single interrupt. This block provides
The EVT_IN is the pulse interrupt from EMAC. This is forwarded to
