2. GENERAL DESCRIPTIONS
The MX98725, second generation of 100/10 Base-T
single chip MAC controller, is designed specifically to
meet future demand on Fast Ethernet networking sys-
tem. Different from MX98715/715a3, MX98725 addition-
ally supports ACPI, Remote-Wake-Up, Remote-Power-
On, and up to 256K Bytes Flash interface to enhance
product's added-on value.
The MX9725 controller is an IEEE802.3u compliant
single chip 32-bit full duplex, 10/100Mbps highly inte-
grated Fast Ethernet combo solution, designed to ad-
dress high performance local area networking (LAN)
system application requirements.
The bus master architecture delivers the performance
needed for today high speed and powerful processors
technology. In other words, the MX98725 not only keeps
CPU utilization low while maximizing data throughput,
but it also optimizes the PCI bandwidth providing the
highest PCI bandwidth utilization. To further reduce
ownership costs the MX98725 uses drivers that are
backward-compatible with the original MXIC MX98713
series controllers.
The MX98725 contains a PCI local bus glueless inter-
face, a Direct Memory Access (DMA) buffer manage-
ment unit, an IEEE802.3u-compliant Media Access Con-
troller (MAC), large Transmit and Receive FIFOs, and
an on-chip 10 Base-T and 100 Base-TX transceiver sim-
plifying system design and improving high speed signal
quality. Full-duplex operation are supported in both 10
Base-T and 100 Base-TX modes that increases the
controller's operating bandwidth up to 200Mbps.
Equipped with intelligent IEEE802.3u-compliant auto-
negotiation, the MX98725-based adapter allows a single
RJ-45 connector to link with the other IEEE802.3u-com-
pliant device completely without any need to set con-
figuration.
In MX98725, an innovative and proprietary design
"Adaptive Network Throughput Control" (ANTC) is built-
in to configure itself automatically by MXIC's driver based
on the PCI burst throughput of different PCs. With this
proprietary design, MX98725 can always optimize its
operating bandwidth, network data integrity and through-
put for different PCs.

MX98725
MXIC MX98725 features Remore-Wake-Up capability
and is compliant with the Advanced Configuration and
Power Interface (ACPI). This support enables a wide
range of wake-up capabilities, including the ability to cus-
tomize which network packets the PC responds to, even
when it is in a low-power state. PCs and workstations
designed to take advantage of these capabilities can be
turned on remotely and serviced simultaneiously over
the network from one central server, helping organiza-
tions reduce their total cost of ownership of high-perfor-
mance business PCs. With its on-chip support for both
little and big endian byte alignment, this controller can
also address non-PC applications.
For diskless applications of networking, remotely boot-
ing up is a necessary process. To update or modify the
code is such a complex process that network venders
or owners must provide a new EPROM, replace the ex-
isting EPROM on the network adaptor and then reboot
the computer. Thanks to the development of Flash
memory, MX98725 successfully incorporated Flash in-
terface to provide remotely boot code update service
and that means network maintenance becomes effort-
less.

160 Pin Function and Driver
PCI address/data bus: shared PCI address/data bus lines. Little or
big endian byte ordering are supported.
CBEB[3:0]
T/S
PCI command and byte enable bus: shared PCI bus command and
byte enable bus, during the address phase of the transaction, these
four bits provide the bus command. During the data phase, these four
bits provide the byte enable.
PCI FRAMEB signal: shared PCI cycle start signal, asserted to
indicate the beginning of a bus transaction. As long as FRAMEB is
asserted, data transfers continue.
PCI Target ready: issued by the target agent, a data phase is
completed on the rising edge of PCICLK when both IRDYB and
TRDYB are asserted.
PCI Master ready: indicates the bus master's ability to complete
the current data phase of the transaction. A data phase is completed on
any rising edge of PCICLK when both IRDYB and TRDYB are asserted.
PCI slave device select: asserted by the target of the current bus
access. When MX98725 is the initiator of current bus access, the target
must assert DEVSELB within 5 bus cycles, otherwise cycle is aborted.
PCI initialization device select: target specific device select signal for
configuration cycles issued by host.
PCI bus clock input: PCI bus clock range from 16MHz to 33MHz.
PCI bus reset: host system hardware reset.
PCI bus interrupt request signal: wired to INTAB line.
PCI bus system error signal: If an address parity error is detected and
CFCS bit 8 is enabled, SERRB and CFCS’s bit 30 will be asserted.
PCI bus data error signal: As a bus master, when a data parity error is
detected and CFCS bit 8 is enabled, CFCS bit 24 and CSR5 bit 13 will
be asserted. As a bus target, a data parity error will cause PERRB to be
asserted.
