TX Data FIFO Direct PIO Writes
In this mode the upper address inputs are not decoded, and any write to the LAN9215i 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 LAN9215i. Timing is
identical to a PIO write, and the FIFO_SEL signal has the same timing characteristics as the address
lines.

Note: A TX Data FIFO Direct PIO Write cycle begins when both nCS and nWR are asserted. The
cycle ends when either or both nCS and nWR are deasserted. They may be asserted and
deasserted in any order. Parameters tcsh and tcsl must be extended using wait states to meet
the tcycle minimum.
