TX Data FIFO Direct PIO Writes
In this mode only A[2] is decoded, and any write to the LAN9312 will write the TX Data FIFO. This
mode is enabled when FIFO_SEL is driven high during a write access. This is normally accomplished
by connecting the FIFO_SEL signal to a high-order address line. This mode is useful when the host
processor must increment its address when accessing the LAN9312.
Timing is identical to a PIO write, and the FIFO_SEL and END_SEL signals have the same timing
characteristics as the address lines. A TX Data FIFO direct PIO write cycle begins when both nCS and
nWR are asserted. Either or both of these control signals must de-assert between cycles for the period
specified in Table 15.13, “TX Data FIFO Direct PIO Write Cycle Timing Values,” on page 452. The cycle
ends when either or both nCS and nWR are de-asserted. They may be asserted and de-asserted in
any order. The TX Data FIFO direct PIO write cycle is illustrated in the functional timing diagram in
Figure 8.8.
Note: A[9:3] are ignored during TX Data FIFO direct PIO writes.
Please refer to Section 15.5.9, "TX Data FIFO Direct PIO Write Cycle Timing," on page 452 for the AC
timing specifications for TX Data FIFO direct PIO write operations.

HBI Interrupts
The HBI allows access to all interrupt configuration and status registers within the LAN9312. The
LAN9312 implements a multi-tier interrupt hierarchy with the Interrupt Configuration Register
(IRQ_CFG), Interrupt Status Register (INT_STS), and Interrupt Enable Register (INT_EN) at the top
level. These registers allow for the configuration of which interrupts trigger the IRQ, as well as the IRQ
deassertion and polarity properties. Interrupts may be generated from the 1588 Timestamping, Switch
Fabric, Port 1 PHY, Port 2 PHY, Host MAC, EEPROM Loader, General Purpose Timer, General
Purpose I/O, and Power Management blocks.
For more information of the LAN9312 interrupts, refer to Chapter 5, System Interrupts.
