LAN91C96 ISA/PCMCIA Single-Chip Full Duplex Ethernet Controller with Magic Packet

URL: http://www.smsc.com/main/catalog/lan91c96.html

The LAN91C96 is a VLSI Ethernet Controller that combines ISA and PCMCIA bus interfaces in one chip. It integrates all MAC and physical layer functions, plus packet RAM, to implement a high performance 10BASE-T (twisted pair) node.


Company Information
Standard Microsystems Corp. (SMSC™): Standard Microsystems Corporation is a worldwide supplier of MOS/VLSI circuits for the personal computer, peripherals and embedded systems marketplaces.

For 10BASE5, 10BASE2, and 10BASE-F implementations, the LAN91C96 interfaces to external transceivers via the provided AUI port. Only one additional IC is required for most applications. The LAN91C96 comes with Full Duplex Switched Ethernet support. 6K bytes of RAM is provided. The controller implements multiple advanced powerdown modes including Magic Packet to conserve power and operate more efficiently. The LAN91C96 can directly interface with the ISA and PCMCIA buses and deliver no-wait-state operation. The LAN91C96 is available in 100-pin QFP and TQFP (1.2 mm body thickness) packages. The low profile TQFP is ideal for mobile applciations such as PC Card LAN adapters. The LAN91C96 operates with a single power supply voltage of 5V. Revisions E and later will also operated using a single 3.3V power supply.
