RM0033 Rev 9 923/1381
RM0033 Ethernet (ETH): media access control (MAC) with DMA controller
956
Ethernet MAC address 0 low register (ETH_MACA0LR)
Address offset: 0x0044
Reset value: 0xFFFF FFFF
The MAC address 0 low register holds the lower 32 bits of the 6-byte first MAC address of
the station.
Ethernet MAC address 1 high register (ETH_MACA1HR)
Address offset: 0x0048
Reset value: 0x0000 FFFF
The MAC address 1 high register holds the upper 16 bits of the 6-byte second MAC address
of the station.

Bits 31:0 MACA0L: MAC address0 low [31:0]
This field contains the lower 32 bits of the 6-byte MAC address0. This is used by the MAC
for filtering for received frames and for inserting the MAC address in the transmit flow control
(Pause) frames.

Bit 31 AE: Address enable
When this bit is set, the address filters use the MAC address1 for perfect filtering. When this
bit is cleared, the address filters ignore the address for filtering.
Bit 30 SA: Source address
When this bit is set, the MAC address1[47:0] is used for comparison with the SA fields of the
received frame.
When this bit is cleared, the MAC address1[47:0] is used for comparison with the DA fields
of the received frame.
Bits 29:24 MBC: Mask byte control
These bits are mask control bits for comparison of each of the MAC address1 bytes. When
they are set high, the MAC core does not compare the corresponding byte of received
DA/SA with the contents of the MAC address1 registers. Each bit controls the masking of the
bytes as follows:
– Bit 29: ETH_MACA1HR [15:8]
– Bit 28: ETH_MACA1HR [7:0]
– Bit 27: ETH_MACA1LR [31:24]
…
– Bit 24: ETH_MACA1LR [7:0]
