GENERAL DESCRIPTION

The PCnet-PCI single-chip 32-bit Ethernet controller is a highly integrated Ethernet system solution designed to address high-performance system application requirements. It is a flexible bus-mastering device that can be used in any application, including network-ready PCs, printers, fax modems, and bridge/router designs.

DISTINCTIVE CHARACTERISTICS

■Automatic Twisted-Pair receive polarity detection and automatic correction of the receive polarity

■Optional byte padding to long-word boundary on receive

■Dynamic transmit FCS generation programmable on a frame-by-frame basis

■Internal/external loopback capabilities

■Supports the following types of network interfaces:

— AUI to external 10BASE2, 10BASE5,10BASE-T or 10BASE-F MAU

— Internal 10BASE-T transceiver with Smart Squelch to Twisted-Pair medium

■NAND Tree test mode for connectivity testing on printed circuit boards

■132-pin PQFP package
