GENERAL DESCRIPTION

The bus-master architecture provides high data throughput in the system and low CPU and system bus utilization. The PCnet-PCI controller is fabricated with AMD’s advanced low-power CMOS process to provide low operating and standby current for power sensitive applications. 1-868 The PCnet-PCI controller is a complete Ethernet node integrated into a single VLSI device. It contains a bus interface unit, a DMA buffer management unit, an IEEE 802.3-defined Media Access Control (MAC) function, individual 136-byte transmit and 128-byte receive FIFOs, an IEEE 802.3-defined Attachment Unit Interface (AUI) and Twisted-Pair Transceiver Media Attachment Unit (10BASE-T MAU), and a Microwire EEPROM interface. The PCnet-PCI controller is also register compatible with the LANCE (Am7990) Ethernet controller, the C-LANCE (Am79C90) Ethernet controller, the ILACC (Am79C900) Ethernet controller, and all Ethernet Publication# 18220 Rev.
