DATASHEET
The following sections detail each category of interrupts and their related registers. Refer to
Chapter 14, "Register Descriptions," on page 167 for bit-level definitions of all interrupt registers.
5.2.1 1588 Time Stamp Interrupts
Multiple 1588 Time Stamp interrupt sources are provided by the LAN9311/LAN9311i. The top-level
1588_EVNT (bit 29) of the
Interrupt Status Register (INT_STS) provides indication that a 1588 interrupt
event occurred in the 1588 Interrupt Status and Enable Register (1588_INT_STS_EN) .
The 1588 Interrupt Status and Enable Register (1588_INT_STS_EN) provides enabling/disabling and
status of all 1588 interrupt conditions. These include TX/RX 1588 clock capture indication on Ports
2,1,0, 1588 clock capture for GPIO[8:9] events, as well as 1588 timer interrupt indication.
In order for a 1588 interrupt event to trigger the external IRQ interrupt pin, the desired 1588 interrupt
event must be enabled in the
1588 Interrupt Status and Enable Register (1588_INT_STS_EN) , bit 29
(1588_EVNT_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 1588 Time Stamp interrupts, refer to Section 11.6, "IEEE 1588 Interrupts,"
on page 161 .
5.2.2 Switch Fabric Interrupts
Multiple Switch Fabric interrupt sources are provided by the LAN9311/LAN9311i in a three-tiered
register structure as shown in
Figure 5.1 . The top-level SWITCH_INT (bit 28) of the Interrupt Status
Register (INT_STS) provides indication that a Switch Fabric interrupt event occurred in the Switch
Engine Interrupt Pending Register (SWE_IPR) .
In turn, the Switch Engine Interrupt Pending Register (SWE_IPR) and Switch Engine Interrupt Mask
Register (SWE_IMR) provide status and enabling/disabling of all Switch Fabric sub-modules interrupts
(Buffer Manager, Switch Engine, and Port 2,1,0 MACs).
The low-level Switch Fabric sub-module interrupt pending and mask registers of the Buffer Manager,
Switch Engine, and Port 2,1,0 MACs provide multiple interrupt sources from their respective sub-
modules. These low-level registers provide the following interrupt sources:
„ Buffer Manager ( Buffer Manager Interrupt Mask Register (BM_IMR) and Buffer Manager Interrupt
Pending Register (BM_IPR) )
—Status B Pending
—Status A Pending
„ Switch Engine ( Switch Engine Interrupt Mask Register (SWE_IMR) and Switch Engine Interrupt
Pending Register (SWE_IPR) )
—Interrupt Pending
„ Port 2,1,0 MACs ( Port x MAC Interrupt Mask Register (MAC_IMR_x) and Port x MAC Interrupt
Pending Register (MAC_IPR_x) )
—No currently supported interrupt sources. These registers are reserved for future use.
In order for a Switch Fabric interrupt event to trigger the external IRQ interrupt pin, the following must
be configured:
„ The desired Switch Fabric sub-module interrupt event must be enabled in the corresponding mask
register (
Buffer Manager Interrupt Mask Register (BM_IMR) for the Buffer Manager, Switch Engine
Interrupt Mask Register (SWE_IMR) for the Switch Engine, and/or Port x MAC Interrupt Mask
Register (MAC_IMR_x) for the Port 2,1,0 MACs)
„ The desired Switch Fabric sub-module interrupt event must be enabled in the Switch Engine
Interrupt Mask Register (SWE_IMR)
„ Bit 28 (SWITCH_INT_EN) of the Interrupt Enable Register (INT_EN) must be set
„ IRQ output must be enabled via bit 8 (IRQ_EN) of the Interrupt Configuration Register (IRQ_CFG)
For additional details on the Switch Fabric interrupts, refer to Section 6.6, "Switch Fabric Interrupts,"
on page 81 .
