Rev. 2.1
May 2012 1 M9999-050112-2.1
General Description
The KSZ8851M-series is a single-port controller chip with
a non-PCI CPU interface and is available in 8-bit and 16-
bit bus designs. This datasheet describes the 48-pin LQFP
KSZ8851-16MLL for applications requiring high-
performance from single-port Ethernet Controller with 8-bit
or 16-bit generic processor interface. The KSZ8851-
16MLL offers the most cost-effective solution for adding
high-throughput Ethernet connectivity to traditional
embedded systems.
The KSZ8851-16MLL is a single chip, mixed analog/digital
device offering Wake-on-LAN technology for effectively
addressing Fast Ethernet applications. It consists of a fast
Ethernet MAC controller, an 8-bit or 16-bit generic host
processor interface and incorporates a unique dynamic
memory pointer with 4-byte buffer boundary and a fully
utilizable 18KB for both TX (allocated 6KB) and RX
(allocated 12KB) direction s in ho st buffer interface.
The KSZ8851-16MLL is designed to be fully compliant with
the appropriate IEEE 802.3 standards. An industrial
temperature-grade version of the KSZ8851-16MLLI and a
qualified AEC-Q100 Automotive version of the KSZ8851-
16MLLU are also available (see “Ordering Information”
section).
LinkMD®
Physical signal transmission and reception are enhanced
through the use of analog circuitry. This makes the design
more efficient and allows lower-power consumption. The
KSZ8851-16MLL is designed using a low-power CMOS
process that features a single 3.3V power supply with
options for 1.8V, 2.5V or 3.3V VDD I/O. The device
includes an extensive feature set that offers management
information base (MIB) counters and CPU control/data
interfaces with single shared data bus timing.
The KSZ8851-16MLL includes a unique cable diagnostics
feature called LinkMD®. This feature determines the length
of the cabling plant and also ascertains if there is an open
or short condition in the cable. Accompanying software
enables the cable length and cable conditions to be
conveniently displayed. In addition, the KSZ8851-16MLL
supports Hewlett Packard (HP) Auto-MDIX thereby
eliminating the need to differentiate between straight or
crossover cables in a pplications.

Functional Description
The KSZ8851-16MLL is a single-chip Fast Ethernet MAC/PHY controller consisting of a 10/100 physical layer transceiver
(PHY), a MAC, and a Bus Interface Unit (BIU) that controls the KSZ8851-16MLL via an 8-bit or 16-bit ho st bus interface.
The KSZ8851-16MLL is fully compliant to IEEE802.3u standards.
Functional Overview
Power Management
The KSZ8851-16MLL supports enhanced power management feature in low power state with energy detection to ensure
low-power dissipation during device idle periods. There are four operation modes under the power management function
which is controlled by two bits in PMECR (0xD4) regist er as shown below:
PMECR[1:0] = 00 Normal Operation Mode
PMECR[1:0] = 01 Energy Detect Mode
PMECR[1:0] = 10 Soft Power Down Mode
PMECR[1:0] = 11 Power Saving Mode
Table 1 indicates all internal function blocks status under four different power management operation modes.
Power Management Operation Modes
KSZ8851-16MLL
Function Blocks Normal Mode Powe r Saving Mode Energy Detect Mode Soft Power Down Mode
Internal PLL Clock Enabled Enabled Disabled Disabled
Tx/Rx PHY Enabled Rx unused block disab led Energy detect at Rx Disabled
MAC Enabled Enabled Disabled Disabled
Host Interface Enabled Enabled Disabled Disabled
Table 1. Internal Function Blocks Status
Normal Operation Mode
This is the default setting bit[1:0]=00 in PMECR register after the chip power-up or hardware reset (pin 67). When
KSZ8851-16MLL is in this normal operation mode, all PLL clocks are running, PHY and MAC are on and the host
interface is ready for CPU read or write.
During the normal operation mode, the host CPU can set the bit[1:0] in PMECR register to transit the current normal
operation mode to any one of the other three power management operatio n modes.
Energy Detect Mode
The energy detect mode provides a mechanism to save more power than in the normal operation mode when the
KSZ8851-16MLL is not connected to an active link partner. For example, if cable is not present or it is connected to a
powered down partner, the KSZ8851-16MLL can automatically enter to the low power state in energy detect mode. Once
activity resumes due to plugging a cable or attempting by the far end to establish link, the KSZ8851-16MLL can
automatically power up to normal power state in energy detect mode.
Energy detect mode consists of two states, normal power state and low power state. While in low power state, the
KSZ8851-16MLL reduces power consumption by disabling all circuitry except the energy detect circuitry of the receiver.
The energy detect mode is entered by setting bit[1:0]=01 in PMECR register. When the KSZ8851-16MLL is in this mode, it
will monitor the cable energy. If there is no energy on the cable for a time longer than pre-configured value at bit[7:0] Go-
Sleep time in GSWUTR register, KSZ8851-16MLL will go into a low power state. When KSZ8851-16MLL is in low power
state, it will keep monitoring the cable energy. Once the energy is detected from the cable and is continuously presented
for a time longer than pre-configured value at bit[15:8] Wake-Up time in GSWUTR register, the KSZ8851-16MLL will enter
either the normal power state if the auto-wakeup enable bit[7] is set in PMECR register or the normal operation mode if
both auto-wakeup enable bit[7] and wa keup to normal operation mode bit[6] are set in PMECR register.
The KSZ8851-16MLL will also assert PME output pin if the corresponding enable bit[8] is set in PMECR (0xD4) register or
generate interrupt to signal an energy detect event occurred if the corresponding enable bit[2] is set in IER (0x90) register.
Once the power management unit detects the PME output asserted or interrupt active, it will power up the host CPU and

May 2012 16 M9999-050112-2.1
issue a wakeup command which is a read cycle to read the Globe Reset Register (GRR at 0x26) to wake up the
KSZ8851-16MLL from the low power state to the normal power state in case the auto-wakeup enable bit[7] is disabled.
When KSZ8851-16MLL is at normal power state, it is able to transmit or receive packet from the cable.
Soft Power Down Mode
The soft power down mode is entered by setting bit[1:0]=10 in PMECR register. When KSZ8851-16MLL is in this mode,
all PLL clocks are disabled, the PHY and the MAC are off, all internal registers value will not change, and the host
interface is only used to wake-up this device from curre nt soft power down mode to normal operation mod e.
In order to go back the normal operation mode from this soft power down mode, the only way to leave this mode is
through a host wake-up command which the CPU issues to read the Globe Reset Register (GRR at 0x26).
Power Saving Mode
The power saving mode is entered when auto-negotiation mode is enabled, cable is disconnected, and by setting
bit[1:0]=11 in PMECR register and bit [10]=1 in P1SCLMD register. When KSZ8851M is in this mode, all PLL clocks are
enabled, MAC is on, all internal registers value will not change, and host interface is ready for CPU read or write. In this
mode, it mainly controls the PHY transceiver on or off based on line status to achieve power saving. The PHY remains
transmitting and only turns off the unused receiver block. Once activity resumes due to plugging a cable or attempting by
the far end to establish link, the KSZ8851M can automatically enabled the PHY power up to normal power state from
power saving mode.
During this power saving mode, the host CPU can program the bit[1:0] in PMECR register and set bit[10]=0 in P1SCLMD
register to transit the current powe r savi ng mode to any one of the other three power management operation modes.
Wake-on-LAN
Wake-up frame events are used to wake the system whenever meaningful data is presented to the system over the
network. Examples of meaningful data include the reception of a Magic Packet, a management request from a remote
administrator, or simply network traffic directly targeted to the local system. In all of these instances, the network device is
pre-programmed by the policy owner or other software with information on how to identify wake frames from other network
traffic. The KSZ8851-16MLL controller can be programmed to notify the host of the wake-up frame detection with the
assertion of the interrupt signal (INTRN) or assertion of the power manag ement event signal (PME).
A wake-up event is a request for hardware and/or software external to the network device to put the system into a
powered state (working).
A wake-up signal is caused by:
1. Detection of energy signal over a pre-configured value (bit 2 in ISR register)
2. Detection of a linkup in the network link state (bit 3 in ISR register)
3. Receipt of a Magic Packet (bit 4 in ISR register)
4. Receipt of a network wake-up frame (bit 5 in ISR register)
There are also other types of wake-up events that are not listed here as manufacturers may choose to implement these in
their own way.
Detection of Energy
The energy is detected from the cable and is continuously presented for a time longer than pre-configured value,
especially when this energy change may impact the level at which the system should re-enter to the normal power state.
Detection of Linkup
Link status wake events are useful to indicate a linkup in the network’s connectivity status.
Wake-up Packet
Wake-up packets are certain types of packets with specific CRC values that a system recognizes as a ‘wake up’ frame.
The KSZ8851-16MLL supports up to four users defined wake-up frames as below:
1. Wake-up frame 0 is defined in wakeup frame registers (0x30 – 0x3B) and is enabled by bit 0 in wakeup frame control
register (0x2A).
2. Wake-up frame 1 is defined in wakeup frame registers (0x40 – 0x4B) and is enabled by bit 1 in wakeup frame control
register (0x2A).
Micrel, Inc. KSZ8851-16MLL/MLLI
May 2012 17 M9999-050112-2.1
3. Wake-up frame 2 is defined in wakeup frame registers (0x50 – 0x5B) and is enabled by bit 2 in wakeup frame control
register (0x2A).
4. Wake-up frame 3 is defined in wakeup frame registers (0x60 – 0x6B) and is enabled by bit 3 in wakeup frame control
register (0x2A).
Magic Packet™
Magic Packet technology is used to remotely wake up a sleeping or powered off PC on a LAN. This is accomplished by
sending a specific packet of information, called a Magic Packet frame, to a node on the network. When a PC capable of
receiving the specific frame goes to sleep, it enables the Magic Packet RX mode in the LAN controller, and when the LAN
controller receives a Magic Packet frame, it will alert the system to wake up.
Magic Packet is a standard feature integrated into the KSZ8851-16MLL. The controller implements multiple advanced
power-down modes including Magic Packet to conserve power and operate more efficiently.
Once the KSZ8851-16MLL has been put into Magic Packet Enable mode (WFCR[7]=1), it scans all incoming frames
addressed to the node for a specific data seq uence, which indicates to the controlle r this is a Magic Packet (MP) frame.
A Magic Packet frame must also meet the basic requirements for the LAN technology chosen, such as Source Address
(SA), Destination Address (DA), which may be the receiving station’s IEEE address or a multicast or broadcast address
and CRC.
The specific sequence consists of 16 duplications of the IEEE address of this node, with no breaks or interruptions. This
sequence can be located anywhere within the packet, but must be preceded by a synchronization stream. The
synchronization stream allows the scanning state machine to be much simpler. The synchronization stream is defined as
6 bytes of FFh. The device will also accept a broadcast frame, as long as the 16 duplications of the IEEE address match
the address of the machine to be awakened.
Example:
If the IEEE address for a particular node on a network is 11h 22h, 33h, 44h, 55h, 66h, the LAN controller would be
scanning for the data sequence (assumi ng an Ethernet frame):
DESTINATION SOURCE – MISC - FF FF FF FF FF FF - 11 22 33 44 55 66 - 11 22 33 44 55 66 - 11 22 33 44 55 66 -
11 22 33 44 55 66 - 11 22 33 44 55 66 - 11 22 33 44 55 66 - 11 22 33 44 55 66 - 11 22 33 44 55 66 - 11 22 33 44 55 66 -
11 22 33 44 55 66 - 11 22 33 44 55 66 - 11 22 33 44 55 66 - 11 22 33 44 55 66 - 11 22 33 44 55 66 - 11 22 33 44 55 66 -
11 22 33 44 55 66 - MISC - CRC.
There are no further restrictions on a Magic Packet frame. For instance, the sequence could be in a TCP/IP packet or an
IPX packet. The frame may be bridged or routed across the network without affecting its ability to wake-up a node at the
frame’s destination.
If the LAN controller scans a frame and does not find the specific sequence shown above, it discards the frame and takes
no further action. If the KSZ8851-16MLL controller detects the data sequence, however, it then alerts the PC’s power
management circuitry (assert the PME pin) to wake up the system.
Physical Layer Transceiver (PHY)
100BASE-TX Transmit
The 100BASE-TX transmit function performs parallel-to-serial conversion, 4B/5B coding, scrambling, NRZ-to-NRZI
conversion, and MLT3 encoding and transmission.
The circuitry starts with a parallel-to-serial conversion, which converts the MII data from the MAC into a 125MHz serial bit
stream. The data and control stream is then converted into 4B/5B coding, followed by a scrambler. The serialized data is
further converted from NRZ-to-NRZI format, and then transmitted in MLT3 current output. An external 3.01K (1%)
resistor for the 1:1 transformer ratio sets the output current.
The output signal has a typical rise/fall time of 4ns and complies with the ANSI TP-PMD standard regarding amplitude
balance, overshoot, and timing jitter. The wave-shaped 10BASE-T output driver is also incorporated into the 100BASE-TX
driver.
100BASE-TX Receive
The 100BASE-TX receiver function performs adaptive equalization, DC restoration, MLT3-to-NRZI conversion, data and
clock recovery, NRZI-to-NRZ conversion, de-scrambling, 4B/5B decoding, and serial-to-parallel conversion.
Micrel, Inc. KSZ8851-16MLL/MLLI
May 2012 18 M9999-050112-2.1
The receiving side starts with the equalization filter to compensate for inter-symbol interference (ISI) over the twisted pair
cable. Since the amplitude loss and phase distortion is a function of the cable length, the equalizer has to adjust its
characteristics to optimize performance. In this design, the variable equalizer makes an initial estimation based on
comparisons of incoming signal strength against some known cable characteristics, and then tunes itself for optimization.
This is an ongoing process and self-adjusts against environmental changes such as temperat ure variations.
Next, the equalized signal goes through a DC restoration and data conversion block. The DC restoration circuit is used to
compensate for the effect of baseline wander and to improve the dynamic range. The differential data conversion circuit
converts the MLT3 format back to NRZI. The slicing threshold is also adaptive.
The clock recovery circuit extracts the 125 MHz clock from the edges of the NRZI signal. This recovered clock is then
used to convert the NRZI signal into the NRZ format. This signal is sent through the de-scrambler followed by the 4B/5B
decoder. Finally, the NRZ serial data is converted to an MII format and provided as the input data to the MAC.
PLL Clock Synthesizer (Recovery)
The internal PLL clock synthesizer can generate either 125MHz, 62.5MHz, 41.66MHz, or 25MHz clocks by setting the on-
chip bus control register (0x20) for KSZ8851-16MLL system timing. These internal clocks are generated from an external
25MHz crystal or oscillator.
Scrambler/De-scrambler (100BASE-TX only)
The purpose of the scrambler is to spread the power spectrum of the signal to reduce electromagnetic interference (EMI)
and baseline wander.
Transmitted data is scrambled through the use of an 11-bit wide linear feedback shift register (LFSR). The scrambler
generates a 2047-bit non-repetitive sequence. Then the receiver de-scrambles the incoming data stream using the same
sequence as at the transmi tter.
10BASE-T Transmit
The 10BASE-T driver is incorporated with the 100BASE-TX driver to allow for transmission using the same magnetics.
They are internally wave-shaped and pre-emphasized into outputs with typical 2.4V amplitude. The harmonic contents are
at least 27dB below the fundamental frequency when driven by an all-ones Manchester-encoded signal.
10BASE-T Receive
On the receive side, input buffers and level detecting squelch circuits are employed. A differential input receiver circuit and
a phase-locked loop (PLL) perform the decodin g fun ction.
The Manchester-encoded data stream is separated into clock signal and NRZ data. A squelch circuit rejects signals with
levels less than 400mV or with short pulse widths to prevent noise at the RXP1 or RXM1 input from falsely triggering the
decoder. When the input exceeds the squelch limit, the PLL locks onto the incoming signal and the KSZ8851-16MLL
decodes a data frame. The receiver cl ock is maintained active during idle periods in between data reception.

MDI/MDI-X Auto Crossover
To eliminate the need for crossover cables between similar devices, the KSZ8851-16MLL supports HP-Auto MDI/MDI-X
and IEEE 802.3u standard MDI/MDI-X auto crossover. HP-Auto MDI/MDI-X is the default.
The auto-sense function detects remote transmit and receive pairs and correctly assigns the transmit and receive pairs for
the KSZ8851-16MLL device. This feature is extremely useful when end users are unaware of cable types in addition to
saving on an additional uplink configuration connection. The auto-crossover feature can be disabled through the port
control registers. The IEEE 802.3u standard MDI and MDI-X definitions are as below:

Auto Negotiation
The KSZ8851-16MLL conforms to the auto negotiation protocol as described by the 802.3 committee to allow the port to
operate at either 10Base-T or 100Base-TX.
Auto negotiation allows unshielded twisted pair (UTP) link partners to select the best common mode of operation. In auto
negotiation, the link partners advertise capabilities across the link to each other. If auto negotiation is not supported or the
link partner to the KSZ8851-16MLL is forced to bypass auto negotiation, the mode is set by observing the signal at the
receiver. This is known as parallel mode because while the transmitter is sending auto negotiation advertisements, the
receiver is listening for advertisements or a fixed signal protocol.The auto negotiation link setup is shown in Figure 5.

LinkMD® Cable Diagnostics
The KSZ8851-16MLL LinkMD® uses time domain reflectometry (TDR) to analyze the cabling plant for common cabling
problems such as open circuits, short circuits, and impedance mismatches.
LinkMD® works by sending a pulse of known amplitude and duration down the MDI and MDI-X pairs and then analyzes
the shape of the reflected signal. Timing the pulse duration gives an indication of the distance to the cabling fault with a
maximum distance of 200m and an accuracy of ±2m. Internal circuitry displays the TDR information in a user-readable
digital format in register P1SCLMD[8:0].
Note: cable diagnostics are only valid for copper connections – fiber-optic operation is not supported.
Access
LinkMD® is initiated by accessing register P1SCL MD, the PHY special control/status & LinkMD® registe r (0xF4).
Usage
LinkMD® can be run at any time by ensuring that Auto-MDIX has been disabled. To disable Auto-MDIX, write a ‘1’ to
P1CR[10] to enable manual control over the pair used to transmit the LinkMD® pulse. The self-clearing cable diagnostic
test enable bit, P1SCLMD [12], is set to ‘1’ to start the test on this pair.
When bit P1SCLMD[12] returns to ‘0’, the test is complete. The test result is returned in bits P1SCLMD[14:13] and the
distance is returned in bits P1SCLM D[8:0]. The cable diagn ostic test results are as follows:
00 = Valid test, normal condition
01 = Valid test, open circuit in cable
10 = Valid test, short circuit in cable
11 = Invalid test, LinkMD® failed
If P1SCLMD[14:13]=11, this indicates an invalid test, and occurs when the KSZ8851-16MLL is unable to shut down the
link partner. In this instance, the test is not run, as it is not possible for the KSZ8851-16MLL to determine if the detected
signal is a reflection of the signal generated or a signal from another source.
Cable distance can be approximated by the following formula:
P1SCLMD[8:0] x 0.4m for port 1 cable distance
This constant may be calibrated for different cabling conditions, including cables with a velocity of propagation that varies
significantly from the norm.
Media Access Control (MAC) Operation
The KSZ8851-16MLL strictly abides by IEEE 802.3 standards to maximize compatibility.
Inter Packet Gap (IPG)
If a frame is successfully transmitted, then the minimum 96-bit time for IPG is measured between two consecutive
packets. If the current packet is experiencing collisions, the minimum 96-bit time for IPG is measured from carrier sense
(CRS) to the next transmit packet.
Back-Off Algorithm
The KSZ8851-16MLL implements the IEEE standard 802.3 binary exponential back-off algorithm in half-duplex mode.
After 16 collisions, the packet is dropped.
Late Collision
If a transmit packet experiences collisions after 51 2 bit times of the transmission, the packet is dropped.
Flow Control
The KSZ8851-16MLL supports standard 802.3x flow control frames on both transmit and receive sides.
On the receive side, if the KSZ8851-16MLL receives a pause control frame, the KSZ8851-16MLL will not transmit the next
normal frame until the timer, specified in the pause control frame, expires. If another pause frame is received before the
current timer expires, the timer will be updated with the new value in the second pause frame. During this period (while it
is flow controlled), only flow control packets from the KSZ8851-16MLL are transmitted.
On the transmit side, the KSZ8851-16MLL has intelligent and efficient ways to determine when to invoke flow control. The
Micrel, Inc. KSZ8851-16MLL/MLLI
May 2012 24 M9999-050112-2.1
flow control is based on availability of the system resources.
There are three programmable low watermark register FCLWR (0xB0), high watermark register FCHWR (0xB2) and
overrun watermark register FCOWR (0xB4) for flow control in RXQ FIFO. The KSZ8851-16MLL will send PAUSE frame
when the RXQ buffer hit the high watermark level (default 3.072KByte available) and stop PAUSE frame when the RXQ
buffer hit the low watermark level (default 5.12KByte available). The KSZ8851-16MLL will drop packet when the RXQ
buffer hit the overrun watermark level (default 256-Byte available).
The KSZ8851-16MLL issues a flow control frame (Xoff, or transmitter off), containing the maximum pause time defined in
IEEE standard 802.3x. Once the resource is freed up, the KSZ8851-16MLL sends out the another flow control frame
(Xon, or transmitter on) with zero pause time to turn off the flow control (turn on transmission to the port). A hysteresis
feature is provided to prevent the flow control me chanism fro m being constantly activated and deactivated .
Half-Duplex Backpressure
A half-duplex backpressure option (non-IEEE 802.3 standards) is also provided. The activation and deactivation
conditions are the same as in full-duplex mode. If backpressure is required, the KSZ8851-16MLL sends preambles to
defer the other stations' transmission (carrier sen se d eference).
To avoid jabber and excessive deference (as defined in the 802.3 standard), after a certain time, the KSZ8851-16MLL
discontinues the carrier sense and then raises it again quickly. This short silent time (no carrier sense) prevents other
stations from sending out packets thus keeping other stations in a carrier sense deferred state. If the port has packets to
send during a backpressure situation, the carrier sense type backpressure is interrupted and those packets are
transmitted instead. If there are no additional packets to send, carrier sense type backpressure is reactivated again until
chip resources free up. If a collision occurs, the binary exponential back-off algorithm is skipped and carrier sense is
generated immediately, thus reducing the chance of further collision and carrier sense is maintained to prevent packet
reception.
Address Filtering Function
The KSZ8851-16MLL supports 11 different address filtering schemes as shown in the following Table 3. The Ethernet
destination address (DA) field inside the packet is the first 6-byte field which uses to compare with either the host MAC
address registers (0x10 – 0x15) or the MAC address hash table registers (0xA0 – 0xA7) for address filtering operation.
The first bit (bit 40) of the destination address (DA) in the Ethernet packet decides whether this is a physical address if bit
40 is “0” or a multicast address if bit 40 is “1”.

Bus Interface Unit (BIU)
The BIU host interface is a generic shared data bus interface, designed to communicate with embedded processors. No
glue logic is required when it talks to various standard asynchrono us buse s and processors.
Supported Transfers
In terms of transfer type, the BIU can support asynchronous transfer or SRAM-like slave mode. To support the data
transfers, the BIU provides a group of signals:
Shared Data bus SD[15:0] for Address, Data and Byte Enable, Command (CMD), Chip Select Enable (CSN), Read
(RDN), Write (WRN) and Interrupt (INTRN).
Physical Data Bus Size
The BIU supports an 8-bit or 16-bit host standard data bus. Depending on the size of the physical data bus, the KSZ8851-
16MLL can support 8-bit or 16-bit data transfers.
For example,
For a 16-bit data bus mode, the KSZ8851-16 MLL allows an 8-bit and 16-bit data transfer.
For an 8-bit data bus mode, the KSZ8851-16MLL o nly allows an 8-bit data transfer.
The KSZ8851-16MLL supports internal data byte-swap. This means that the system/host data bus HD[7:0] just connect to
SD[7:0] for an 8-bit data bus interface. For a 16-bit data bus, the system/host data bus HD[15:8] and HD[7:0] only need to
connect to SD[15:8] and SD[7:0] respectively.
Table 4 describes the BIU signal grouping.
Signal Type Function

Data D[15:0] -> SD[15:0] access when CMD=0. Address A[7:2] -> SD[7:2] and Byte Enable

access when CMD=1 in 8-bit mode (Sh ared data bus SD[15:8] must be tied to low in 8-bit bus
mode).
CMD Input

This pin is asserted to low when interrupt occurred.
RDN Input
Asynchronous Read
This pin is asserted to low during read cycle.
WRN Input
Asynchronous Write
This pin is asserted to low during write cycle.
Table 4. Bus Interface Unit Signal Grouping
Little and Big Endian Support
The KSZ8851-16MLL supports either Little- or Big-Endian microprocessor. The external strap pin 10 (EESK) is used to
select between two modes. The KSZ8851-16MLL operates in Little Endian when this pin is pulled-down or in Big Endian
when this pin is pulled-up.
When this pin 10 is no connect or tied to GND, the bit 11 (Endian mode selection) in RXFDPR register can be used to
program either Little (bit11=0) Endian mode or Big (bit11=1) Endian mode.
Asynchronous Interface
For asynchronous transfers, the asynchronous interface uses RDN (read) and WRN (write) signal strobes for data
latching. The host utilizes the rising edge of RDN to latch read data and the KSZ8851-16MLL will use falling edge of WRN
to latch write data.
All asynchronous transfers are either single-data or burst-data transfers. Byte or word data bus access (transfers) is
Micrel, Inc. KSZ8851-16MLL/MLLI
May 2012 27 M9999-050112-2.1
supported. The BIU, however, provides flexible asynchronous interfacing to communicate with various applications and
architectures. No additional address latch is required. The BIU qualifies both CSN (Chip Select) pin and WRN (Write
Enable) pin to write the Address A[7:2] and BE[3:0] value (in 16-bit mode) or Address A[7:0] value (in 8-bit mode) into
KSZ8851-16MLL when CMD (Command type) pin is high. The BIU qualifies both CSN (Chip Select) pin and RDN (Read
Enable) or WRN (Write Enable) pin to read or write the SD[15:0] data value from or to KSZ8851-16MLL when CMD
(Command type) pin is low.
In order for software to read back the previous CMD register write value when CMD is “1”, the BIU qualifies both CSN
(Chip Select) pin and RDN (Read Enable) pin to read the Address A[7:2] and BE[3:0] value (in 16-bit mode) or Address
A[7:0] value (in 8-bit mode) back from KSZ8851-16M LL when CMD (Command type) pin is hi gh.
BIU Summation
Figure 6 shows the connection for different data bus sizes. Also refer to reference schematics in hardware design
package.
All of control and status registers in the KSZ8851-16MLL are accessed indirectly depending on CMD (Command type)
pin. The command sequence to access the specified control or status register is to write the register’s address (when
CMD=1) then read or write this register data (when CMD=0). If both RDN and WRN signals in the system are only used
for KSZ8851-16MLL, the CSN pin can be forced to active low to simplify the system design. The CMD pin can be
connected to host address line HA0 for 8-bit bus mode or HA1 for 16-bit bus mode.
Note: In 16-bit bus mode, the SD1 bit must set to “1 ” when CMD = 1 during DMA access.

Queue Management Unit (QMU)
The Queue Management Unit (QMU) manages packet traffic between the MAC/PHY interface and the system host. It has
built-in packet memory for receive and transmit functions called TXQ (Transmit Queue) and RXQ (Receive Queue). Each
queue contains 12KB for RXQ and 6KB for TXQ of memory with back-to-back, non-blocking frame transfer performance.
It provides a group of control registers for system control, frame status registers for current packet transmit/receive status,
and interrupts to inform the host of the real time TX/RX status.
Transmit Queue (TXQ) Frame Format
The frame format for the transmit queue is shown in the following Table 5. The first word contains the control information
for the frame to transmit. The second word is used to specify the total number of bytes of the frame. The packet data
follows. The packet data area holds the frame itself. It may or may not include the CRC checksum depending upon
whether hardware CRC checksum generation is enabled in TXCR (bit 1) register.
Multiple frames can be pipelined in both the transmit queue and receive queue as long as there is enough queue memory,
thus avoiding overrun. For each transmitted frame, the transmit status information for the frame is located in the TXSR

Table 5. Frame Format for Tran smit Queue
Since multiple packets can be pipelined into the TX packet memory for transmit, the transmit status reflects the status of
the packet that is currently being transferred on the MAC interface, which may or may not be the last queued packet in the
TX queue.
The transmit control word is the first 16-bit word in the TX packet memory, followed by a 16-bit byte count. It must be word
aligned. Each control word corresponds to one TX packet. Table 6 gives the tran smit control word bit fields.

The data area contains six bytes of Destination Address (DA) followed by six bytes of Source Address (SA), followed by a
variable-length number of bytes. On transmit, all bytes are provided by the CPU, including the source address. The
KSZ8851-16MLL does not insert its own SA. The 802.3 Frame Length word (Frame Type in Ethernet) is not interpreted by
the KSZ8851-16MLL. It is treated transparently as d ata both for transmit operations.

Table 8. Registers Setting for Transmit Function Block
Driver Routine for Transmit Packet from Host Processor to KSZ8851-16MLL
The transmit routine is called by the upper layer to transmit a contiguous block of data through the Ethernet controller. It is
user’s choice to decide how the transmit routine is implemented. If the Ethernet controller encounters an error while
transmitting the frame, it’s the user’s choice to decide whether the driver should attempt to retransmit the same frame or
discard the data. The following Figures 7 and 8 shows the step-by-step for single and multiple transmit packets from host
processor to KSZ8851-16MLL.

Driver Routine for Receive Packet from KSZ8851-16MLL to Host Processor
The software driver receives data packet frames from the KSZ8851-16MLL device either as a result of polling or an
interrupt based service. When an interrupt is received, the OS invokes the interrupt service routine that is in the interrupt
vector table.
If your system has OS support, to minimize interrupt lockout time, the interrupt service routine should handle at interrupt
level only those tasks that require minimum execution time, such as error checking or device status change. The routine
should queue all the time-consuming work to transfer the packet from the KSZ8851-16MLL RXQ into system memory at
task level. The following Figure 9 shows the step-by-step for receive packets from KSZ8851-16MLL to host processor.
Note: Each DMA read operation from the host CPU to read RXQ frame buffer, the first read data (byte in 8-bit bus mode,
word in 16-bit bus mode and double word in 32-bit bus mode) is dummy data and must be discarded by host CPU.
Afterward, host CPU must read each frame data to align with double word boundary at end. For example, the host CPU
has to read up to 68 bytes if received frame is 65 bytes.

In order to read received frames from RXQ without error, the software driver must use following steps:
When receive interrupt occurred and software driver writes “1” to clear the RX interrupt in ISR register;
the KSZ8851 will uPDate Receive Frame Counter (RXFCTR) Register for this interrupt.
When software driver reads back Receive Frame Count (RXFCTR) Register; the KSZ8851 will uPDate both Receive
Frame Header Status and Byte Count Registers (RXFHSR/RXFHBCR).
When software driver reads back both Receive Frame Header Status and Byte Count Registers (RXFHSR/RXFHBCR);
the KSZ8851 will uPDate next receive frame header status and byte count registers (RXFHSR/RXFHBCR).
EEPROM Interface
It is optional in the KSZ8851-16MLL to use an external EEPROM. The EED_IO (pin 9) must be pulled high to use external
EEPROM otherwise this pin pulled low or floating without EEPROM.
An external serial EEPROM with a standard microwire bus interface is used for non-volatile storage of information such as
the host MAC address. The KSZ8851-16MLL can detect if the EEPROM is a 1KB (93C46) or 4KB (93C66) EEPROM
device (the 93C46 and the 93C66 are typical EEPROM devices). The EEPROM must be organized as 16-bit mode.
If the EED_IO pin is pulled high, then the KSZ8851-16MLL performs an automatic read of the external EEPROM words
0H to 3H after the de-assertion of Reset. The EEPROM values are placed in certain host-accessible registers. EEPROM
read/write functions can also be performed by software read/ writes to the EEPCR (0x22) registers.
The KSZ8851-16MLL EEPROM form at is given in Table 11.

Loopback Support
The KSZ8851-16MLL provides two loopback modes, one is Near-end (Remote) loopback to support for remote diagnostic
of failure at line side, and the other is Far-end (Local) loopback to support for local diagnostic of failure at host side. In
loopback mode, the speed at the PHY port will be set to 100BASE-TX full-duplex mode.
Near-end (Remote) Loopback
Near-end (Remote) loopback is conducted at PHY port 1 of the KSZ8851-16MLL. The loopback path starts at the PHY
port’s receive inputs (RXP1/RXM1), wraps around at the same PHY port’s PMD/PMA, and ends at the PHY port’s tran smit
outputs (TXP1/TXM1).
Bit [9] of register P1SCLMD (0xF4) is used to enable near-end loopback. The ports 1 near-end loopback path is illustrated
in the following Figure 10.
Far-end (Local) Loopback
Far-end (Local) loopback is conducted at Host of the KSZ8851-16MLL. The loopback path starts at the host port’s
transmit inputs (Tx data), wraps around at the PHY port’s PMD/PMA, and ends at the host port’s receive outputs (Rx data)
Bit [14] of register P1MBCR (0xE4) is used to enable far-end loopback at host side. The host far-end loopback path is
illustrated in the following Figure 10.

CPU Interface I/O Registers
The KSZ8851-16MLL provides an SRAM-like asynchronous bus interface for the CPU to access its internal I/O registers.
I/O registers serve as the address that the microprocessor uses when communicating with the device. This is used for
configuring operational settings, reading or writing control, status information, and transferring packets. The KSZ8851-
16MLL can be programmed to interface with either Big-Endian or Little-Endian processor.
I/O Registers
The following I/O Space Mapping Tables apply to 8 or 16-bit bus interface. Depending upon the bus mode selected, each
I/O access can be performed the following operations:
In 8-bit bus mode, there are 256 address locations which is based on SD[7:0] for address when CMD=1. The SD[7:0] is
for data when CMD=0.
In 16-bit bus mode, there are 64 address locations which is based on SD[7:2] ([1:0] is “Do Not Care”) for address and
SD[15:12] for Byte Enable BE[3:0] (either one byte or two bytes) when CMD=1. The SD[15:0] is for data wh en CMD=0.

Host MAC Address Registers: MARL, MARM and MARH
These Host MAC address registers are loaded starting at word location 0x1 of the EEPROM upon hardware reset. The
software driver can read or write these registers value, but it will not modify the original Host MAC address value in the
EEPROM. These six bytes of Host MAC address in external EEPROM are loaded to these three registers as mapping
below:
MARL[15:0] = EEPROM 0x1(MAC Byte 2 and 1)
MARM[15:0] = EEPROM 0x2(MAC Byte 4 and 3)
MARH[15:0] = EEPROM 0x3(MAC Byte 6 and 5)
Micrel, Inc. KSZ8851-16MLL/MLLI
May 2012 44 M9999-050112-2.1
The Host MAC address is used to define the individual destination address that the KSZ8851-16MLL responds to when
receiving frames. Network addresses are generally expressed in the form of 01:23:45:67:89:AB, where the bytes are
received from left to right, and the bits within each byte are received from right to left (LSB to MSB). For example, the
actual transmitted and received bits are on the order of 10000000 11000100 10100010 11100110 10010001 11010101.
These three registers value for Host MAC address 01:23:45:67:89:AB will be held as below:

Reset Timing
As long as the stable supply voltages to reset High timing (minimum of 10ms) are met, there is no power-sequencing
requirement when the KSZ8851-16MLL use a single 3.3V power supply with internal 1.8V LDO. It is also requirement the
power-sequencing to power up the 1.8V voltage earlier than VDDIO voltage if the internal 1.8V LDO is not used. At least,
the both 1.8V voltage and VDDIO voltage should come up at the same time when do not using the internal 1.8V LDO.
The reset timing requirement is summarized in the Figure 13 and Table 17.

Acronyms and Glossary
BIU Bus Interface Unit The host interface function that performs code conversion, buffering,
and the like required for communicati ons to and from a network.
BPDU Bridge Protocol Data Unit A packet containing ports, addresses, etc. to make sure data being
passed through a bridged network arrives at its proper destination.
CMOS Complementary Metal Oxide Semiconductor A common semiconductor manufacturing technique in which positive
and negative types of transistors are combined to form a current gate
that in turn forms an effective means of controlling electrical current
through a chip.
CRC Cyclic Redundancy Check A common technique for dete c ting data transmission errors. CRC for
Ethernet is 32 bits long.
Cut-through switch A switch typically processes received packets by reading in the full
packet (storing), then processing the packet to determine where it
needs to go, then forwarding it. A cut-through switch simply reads in
the first bit of an incoming packet and forwards the packet. Cut-
through switches do not store the packet.
DA Destination Address The address to send packets.
DMA Direct Memory Access A design in which memory on a chip is co ntrolled independently of
the CPU.
EEPROM Electronically Erasable Programmable Read-only Memory A design in which memory on a chip can be erased by exposing it to
an electrical charge.
EISA Extended Industry Standard Architecture A bus architecture des igned for PCs using 80x86 processors, or an
Intel 80386, 80486 or Pentium microprocess or. EISA buses are 32
bits wide and support multiprocessing.
EMI Electro-Magnetic Interference A naturally occurring phenomena when the electromagnetic field of
one device disrupts, impedes or degrades the electromagnetic field of
another device by coming into proximit y with it. In computer
technology, computer devices are suscepti ble to EMI because
electromagnetic fields are a byproduct of passing electricity through a
wire. Data lines that have not been properly shielded are susceptible
to data corruption by EMI.
FCS Frame Check Sequence See CRC.
FID Frame or Filter ID Specifies the frame identifier. Alternately is the filter identifier.
IGMP Internet Group Management Protocol The protocol defined by RFC 1112 for IP multicast transmissions.
IPG Inter-Packet Gap A time delay between successive data packets mandate d b y the
network standard for protocol reasons. In Ethernet, the medium has
to be "silent" (i.e., no data transfer) for a short period of time before a
node can consider the network idle and start to transmit. IPG is used
to correct timing differences between a transmitter and receiver.
During the IPG, no data is transferred, and information in the gap can
be discarded or additions inserted without impact on data integrity.
ISI Inter-Symbol Interference The disruption of transmitted code caused by adjacent pulses
affecting or interfering with each other.
ISA Industry Standard Architecture A bus architecture used in the IBM PC/XT and PC/AT.
Jumbo Packet A packet larger than the standard Ethernet packet (1500 by tes).
Large packet sizes allow for more efficient use of bandwidth, lower
overhead, less processing, etc.
MDI Medium Dependent Interface An Ethernet port connection that allows network hubs or switches to
connect to other hubs or switches without a null-modem, or
crossover, cable. MDI provides the standard interface to a particular
media (copper or fiber) and is therefore 'media dependent.'
Micrel, Inc. KSZ8851-16MLL/MLLI
May 2012 83 M9999-050112-2.1
MDI-X Medium Dependent Interface Crossover An Ethernet port connection that allows networked end stations (i.e.,
PCs or workstations) to connect to each other using a null-modem, or
crossover, cable. For 10/100 full-duplex networks, an end point (such
as a computer) and a switch are wired so that each transmitter
connects to the far end receiver. When connecting two computers
together, a cable that crosses the TX and RX is required to do this.
With auto MDI-X, the PHY senses the correct TX and RX roles,
eliminating any cable confusion.
MIB Management Information Base The MIB comprises the management portion of network devices. This
can include things like monito ring traffic levels and faults (statistical),
and can also change operati ng parameters in network nodes (static
forwarding addresses).
MII Media Indepen dent Interface The MII accesses PHY registers as defined in the IEEE 802.3
specification.
NIC Network Interface Card An expansion board inserted into a compute r to allow it to be
connected to a network. Most NICs are designed for a particular type
of network, protocol, and media, although so me can serve multiple
networks.
NPVID Non Port VLAN ID The Port VLAN ID value is used as a VLAN reference.
PLL Phase-Locked Loop An electronic circuit that controls an oscillator so that it maintains a
constant phase angle (i.e., lock) on the frequency of an input, or
reference, signal. A PLL ensures that a communication signal is
locked on a specific frequency and can also be used to generate,
modulate, and demodulate a signal and divide a frequency.
PME Power Management Event An occurrence that affects the directing of power to different
components of a system.
QMU Queue Management Unit Manages packet traffic between MAC/PHY interface and the system
host. The QMU has built-in packet memories for receive and transmit
functions called TXQ (Transmit Queue) and RXQ (Receive Queue).
SA Source Address The address from which information has been sent.
TDR Time Domain Reflectom etry TDR is used to pinpoint flaws and pr oblems in underground and aerial
wire, cabling, and fiber optics. They send a signal down the conductor
and measure the time it takes for the signal -- or part of the signal -- to
return.
UTP Unshielded Twisted Pair Commonly a cable containing 4 twisted pairs of wires. The wires are
twisted in such a manner as to cancel electri c al interference
generated in each wire, theref ore shielding is not required.
VLAN Virtual Local Area Network A configuration of computers that acts as if all computers are
connected by the same physical network but which may be located
virtually anywhere.
