■ Modular architecture allows easy tuning to
■ Digital Attachment Interface (DAI) allows
by-passing of differential Attachment Unit
Interface (AUI)
specific applications
■ High speed, 16-bit synchronous host system
interface with 2 or 3 cycles/transfer
■ Supports the following types of network
■ Individual transmit (136 byte) and receive (128
byte) FlFOs provide increase of system latency
and support the following features:
interface:
— AUI to external 10BASE2, 10BASE5 or
10BASE-F MAU
— Automatic retransmission with no FIFO
reload
— DAI port to external 10BASE2, 10BASE5,
10BASE-T, 10BASE-F MAU
— Automatic receive stripping and transmit
padding (individually programmable)
— General Purpose Serial Interface (GPSI) to
external encoding/decoding scheme
— Automatic runt packet rejection
— Internal 10BASE-T transceiver with
— Automatic deletion of collision frames
automatic selection of 10BASE-T or AUI port
— Automatic retransmission with no FIFO
reload
■ Sleep mode allows reduced power consump-
tion for critical battery powered applications
■ Direct slave access to all on board
configuration/status registers and transmit/
receive FlFOs
■ 5 MHz-25 MHz system clock speed
■ Support for operation in industrial temperature
range (–40°C to +85°C) available in all three
packages
■ Direct FIFO read/write access for simple
interface to DMA controllers or l/O processors
