32
CONFIDENTIAL
1
UF - Under-flow Error
When set, indicates that the transmitter aborted the message because data arrived late from memory. Under-flow error indicates
that the AX88141 encountered an empty transmit FIFO while transmitting a frame. The transmission process enters the
suspended state and sets both transmit under-flow (REG5<0>) and transmit interrupt (REG5<0>).
DE - Deferred
When set, indicates that the AX88141 had to defer while ready to transmit a frame because the carrier was asserted.

Tab - 42 Transmit Descriptor 0
5.3.2 Transmit Descriptor 1 (TDES1)
Field
31
IC - Interrupt on Completion
When set, the AX88141 sets transmit interrupt (REG5<0>) after the present frames has been transmitted. It is valid only when
first segment (TDES1<30>) is set.
1
30
LS - Last Segment
Description
Indicates that the buffer contains the last segment of a frame.
0
Indicates that the buffer contains the first or middle segment of a frame.
1
Indicates that the buffer contains the first segment of a frame.
29
FS - First Segment
0
Indicates that the buffer contains the middle or last segment of a frame.

Reserved.--Written as “0” for future compatibility concern.
AC - Add CRC Disable
When set, the AX88141 does not append the CRC to the end of the transmitted frame. This field is valid only when first segment
(TDES1<29>) is set.
Reserved.--Written as “0” for future compatibility concern.
1
the AX88141 does not automatically add a padding field, so a packet
shorter than 64 bytes.
The CRC field is added despite the state of
the add CRC disable (TDES1<26>) flag.
25:24
23
DPD - Disabled Padding
0
The AX88141 automatically adds a padding field and also a CRC field to a
packet shorter than 64 bytes.
22:11
10:0
Reserved.--Written as “0” for future compatibility concern.
Data Buffer Size
Indicates the size, in bytes, of the data buffer. If this field is 0, the AX88141 ignores this buffer.

Data Buffer Pointer
Physical address of data buffer. There are no limitations on the buffer address alignment.

5.3.4 Transmit Descriptor 3 (TDES3)

Address Pointer
Physical address of next descriptor address. There are no limitation on the buffer address alignment.
