MEMORY ORGANIZATION

All memory in the ENC28J60 is implemented as static

RAM. There are three types of memory in the

ENC28J60:

• Control Registers

• Ethernet Buffer

• PHY Registers

The Control registers’ memory contains the registers

that are used for configuration, control and status

retrieval of the ENC28J60. The Control registers are

directly read and written to by the SPI interface.

The Ethernet buffer contains transmit and receive

memory used by the Ethernet controller in a single

memory space. The sizes of the memory areas are

programmable by the host controller using the SPI

interface. The Ethernet buffer memory can only be

accessed via the read buffer memory and write buffer

memory SPI commands (see Section 4.2.2 “Read

Buffer Memory Command” and Section 4.2.4 “Write

Buffer Memory Command”).

The PHY registers are used for configuration, control

and status retrieval of the PHY module. The registers

are not directly accessible through the SPI interface;

they can only be accessed through Media Independent

Interface Management (MIIM) implemented in the

MAC.

Figure 3-1 shows the data memory organization for the

ENC28J60.
