Download the AM79C973 datasheet PDF. This datasheet also covers the AM79C variant, as both devices belong to the same 10/100 mbps pci ethernet controller family and are provided as variant models within a single manufacturer datasheet.

General Description

The Am79C973 and Am79C975 controllers are singlechip 32-bit full- duplex, 10/100-Megabit per second (Mbps) fully integrated PCI-to-Wire Fast Ethernet system solution, designed to address high-performance system application requirements.

Key Features

  • offered with the Am79C973 controller. The Serial Management Interface is based on the industry standard Inter-IC (I2C) and System Management Bus (SMBus) specifications and enables a system to communicate with another network station for remote monitoring and alerting of local system management parameters and events. This simple yet powerful Serial Management Interface is capable of communicating within the system and over the network during normal operation or in low-power modes, even if the dev.
