The AX88140A is housed in the 160-pin plastic quad flat pack. Fig - 2 shows the AX88140A
pin connection diagram.
Address and data bits are multiplexed on the samepins. During the
address phase, the AD<31:0> contain a physical address (32 bits).
During, data phases, AD<31:0> contain 32 bits of data.
The AX88140A supports both read and write bursts (in master
operation only). Little and big endian byte ordering can be used.
BUS COMMAND and BYTE ENABLE Are multiplexed on the
same PCI pins. During the address phase of the transaction,
CBE#<3:0> Provide the BUSCOMMAND.During the data phase,
CBE#<3:0> Provide the BYTE ENABLE. The BYTE ENABLE
determines which byte lines carry valid data., CBE#<0> Applies to
byte 0, and CBE#<3> Applies to byte 3.

Boot ROM address and data multiplexed lines bits 7 through 0. In
the first of two consecutive address cycles, these lines contain the
boot ROM address bits 9 through 2; followed by boot ROM
address bits 17 through 10 in the second cycle. During the data

Filtering Buffer
The AX88140A stores one Ethernet address for local physical address and filters the packets
with multicast addresses by 64 bits array. For any incoming frame with a multicast destination
address, the AX88140A applies the standard Ethernet cyclic redundancy check function to the
destination address, then uses the most significant 6 bits of the result as a bit index into the table. If
the indexed bit is set, the frame is accepted. If the bit is reset, the frame is rejected.

5.0 Host Communication
Descriptor lists and data buffers, collectively called the host communication, reside in the host
memory and manage the actions and status related to buffer management.
5.1 Descriptor Lists and Data Buffers
The AX88140A transfers data frames to the receive buffers and from the transmit buffers in host
memory. Descriptors that reside in the host memory act as pointers to these buffers.
There are two descriptor lists, one for receive and one for transmit. The base address of each list is
written into REG3 and REG4, respectively. A descriptor list is forward-linked (explicitly). The
last descriptor may point back to the first entry to create a ring structure. Explicit chaining of
descriptors is accomplished by setting the address pointer chained in both the receive and transmit
descriptors (RDES3 and TDES3). The descriptor lists reside in the host physical memory address
space.
A data buffer consists of either an entire frame or part of a frame, but it cannot exceed a single
frame. Buffers contain only data; buffer status is maintained in the descriptor. Data chaining refers
to frames that span multiple data buffers.
