Variable-length almost-full threshold of the transmit
FIFO buffer. Use the depth of your FIFO buffer to
determine this threshold.

You must set this register to a value greater than or equal
to 3. A value of 3 indicates 0 ready latency; a value of 4
indicates 1 ready latency, and so forth. Because the
maximum ready latency on the Avalon-ST interface is 8,
you can only set this register to a maximum value of 11.
This threshold is typically set to 3.

In 10/100 and 1000 Small MAC core variations, this
register is RO and the register is set to a fixed value of 3.

• Bits[4:0]—5-bit PHY address. Set these registers to

the addresses of any connected PHY devices you want
to access. The

mdio_addr0

and

mdio_addr1

registers

contain the addresses of the PHY whose registers are
mapped to MDIO Space 0 and MDIO Space 1
respectively.

• Bits[31:5]—unused. Set to read-only value of 0.

• Bit[15:0]—16-bit holdoff quanta. When you enable

the flow control, use this register to specify the gap
between consecutive XOFF requests.

• Bits[31:16]—unused.

• Bits[4:0]—minimum IPG. Valid values are between

8 and 26 byte-times. If this register is set to an invalid
value, the MAC still maintains a typical minimum
IPG value of 12 bytes between packets, although a read
back to the register reflects the invalid value written.

In 10/100 and 1000 Small MAC core variations, this
register is RO and the register is set to a fixed value
of 12.

Bits[31:5]—unused. Set to read-only value 0.
