Figure 30-3. Connecting the MPC8260 to Ethernet
Each FCC has 18 signals, deÞned by the IEEE 802.3u standard, for connecting to an
Ethernet PHY. The two management signals (MDC and MDIO) required by the MII should
be implemented separately using the parallel I/O.
The MPC8260 has additional signals for interfacing with an optional external
content-addressable memory (CAM), which are described in Section 30.7, ÒCAM
Interface.Ó
The MPC8260 uses the SDMA channels to store every byte received after the start frame
delimiter into system memory. On transmit, the user provides the destination address,
source address, type/length Þeld, and transmit data. To meet minimum frame requirements,
MPC8260 automatically pads frames with fewer than 64 bytes in the data Þeld. The
MPC8260 also appends the FCS to the frame.
30.4 Ethernet Channel Frame Transmission
The Ethernet transmitter requires almost no core intervention. When the core enables the
transmitter, the Ethernet controller polls the Þrst TxBD in the FCCÕs TxBD table every 256
serial clocks. If the user has a frame ready to transmit, setting TODR[TOD] eliminates
waiting for the next poll. When there is a frame to transmit, the Ethernet controller begins
fetching the data from the data buffer and asserts TX_EN. The preamble sequence, start

The management signals (MDC and MDIO) can be common to all of the Fast Ethernet connections in
the system, assuming that each PHY has a different management address. Use parallel I/O port pins to
implement MDC and MDIO. (The I

C controller cannot be used for this function.)
