7. EEPROM (93C46) Contents
The 93C46 is a 1K-bit EEPROM. Although it is actually addressed by words, its contents are listed below by bytes for
convenience. After the valid duration of the RSTB pin or auto-load command in the 9346CR, the RTL8101L performs a series of
EEPROM read operations from the 93C46 addresses 00H to 31H.
It is suggested to obtain Realtek approval before changing the default settings of the EEPROM.
Bytes

Description
00h
29h
01h
81h
These 2 bytes contain the ID code word for the RTL8101L. The RTL8101L will load the
contents of EEPROM into the corresponding location if the ID word (8129h) is right,
otherwise, the RTL8101L will not proceed with the EEPROM autoload process.
02h-05h
-
Reserved. The RTL8101L no longer supports autoload of Vender ID and Device ID. The
default values of VID and DID are hex 10EC and 8139, respectively.
06h-07h
SVID
PCI Subsystem Vendor ID, PCI configuration space offset 2Ch-2Dh.
08h-09h
SMID
PCI Subsystem ID, PCI configuration space offset 2Eh-2Fh.
0Ah
MNGNT
PCI Minimum Grant Timer, PCI configuration space offset 3Eh.
0Bh
MXLAT
PCI Maximum Latency Timer, PCI configuration space offset 3Fh.
0Ch
MSRBMCR
Bits 7-6 map to bits 7-6 of the Media Status register (MSR); Bits 5, 4, 0 map to bits 13,
12, 8 of the Basic Mode Control register (BMCR); Bits 3-2 are reserved. If the network
speed is set to Auto-Detect mode (i.e. Nway mode), then Bit 1=0 means the local
RTL8101L supports flow control (IEEE 802.3x). In this case, Bit 10=1 in the
Auto-negotiation Advertisement Register (offset 66h-67h), and Bit 1=1 means the local
RTL8101L does not support flow control. In this case, Bit 10=0 in Auto-negotiation
Advertisement. This is because there are Nway switch hubs which keep sending flow
control pause packets for no reason, if the link partner supports Nway flow control.
