Low-power 3.3V, 0.18µm CMOS technology
Low power consumption <600mW Typical
3.3V MAC Interface
The number of applications requiring Ethernet Con-
nectivity continues to expand. Along with this
increased market demand is a change in application
requirements. Where single channel Ethernet used to
be sufficient, many applications such as wireless
remote base stations and industrial networking now
require DUAL Port functionality for redundancy or sys-
tem management.
The DP83849C is a highly reliable, feature rich device
perfectly suited for commercial or industrial applica-
tions enabling Ethernet on the factory floor. The
DP83849C features two fully independent 10/100 ports
for multi-port applications.
The DP83849C provides optimum flexibility in MPU
selection by supporting both MII and RMII interfaces.
In addition this device includes a powerful new diag-
nostics tool to ensure initial network operation and
maintenance. In addition to the TDR scheme, com-
monly used for detecting faults during installation,
NATIONAL’s innovative cable diagnostics provides for
real time continuous monitoring of the link quality. This
allows the system designer to implement a fault pre-
diction mechanism to detect and warn of changing or
deteriorating link conditions.
