3.3.2

Transmit pre-fetch data flow

–

Transmit FIFO size=2K-byte

–

Two packets in the FIFO at the same time

–

Meet the transmit min. back-to-back

Transmit early interrupt scheme

Figure 11.

Transmit normal interrupt and early interrupt comparison

Place the 1st packet data into host memory

Issue transmit demand

FIFO-to-host memory operation (1st packet)

Time

Transmit enable

Place the 2nd packet data into host memory

Check the

next packet

Check point

FIFO-to-host memory operation (2nd packet)

Transmit

threshold

Place the 3rd packet data into host memory

1st packet is

transmitted, check

the 3rd packet
