W90N745CD/W90N745CDG
6.5 Ethernet MAC Controller
Overview
The W90N745 provides an Ethernet MAC Controller (EMC) for LAN application. This EMC has its
DMA controller, transmit FIFO, and receive FIFO.
The Ethernet MAC controller consists of IEEE 802.3/Ethernet protocol engine with internal CAM
function for Ethernet MAC address recognition, Transmit-FIFO, Receive-FIFO, TX/RX state machine
controller and status controller. The EMC only supports RMII (Reduced MII) interface to connect with
PHY operating on 50MHz REF_CLK.
