Microcontrollers take Fast Ethernet onboard
A family of high performance 8bit microcontrollers is reckoned to be the first to deliver a 10/100Mbit/s Fast Ethernet MAC/PHY, a TCP/IP accelerator and Flash memory in a single chip.
USB-to-LAN ICs are easy route to embedded Ethernet
The AX88x72 series USB-to-LAN chips satisfy the increasing market demands for adding networking capability for latest multimedia SoCs.
As the latest member of ASIX AX110xx family, which was launched in June 2006, the AX11005BF provides a tiny-form-factor single-chip solution to enable embedded system designers to design low power, high performance embedded and industrial Ethernet applications for the growing embedded networking markets with minimum board space, cost and complexity.
As the applications for remote control or remote monitoring grow, demands for adding Ethernet connectivity to an embedded system have also been increasing.
The challenge for many embedded system designers today is to integrate more functionality to their products without increasing the overall size of the device.
The tiny 8 x 8mm TFBGA package of the AX11005BF is ideal for space-constrained applications and is a key benefit to designers as it allows them to reduce the overall size of their systems while using all the advantages that Asix's SoC technology can offer.
In addition, the TFBGA package of the AX11005BF can prevent unauthorised signal pin probing or easy replacement of the device onboard, which provide additional advantages for security protection for confidential data transfer on package pins or program code stored in the embedded Flash memory.
Limited samples of the AX11005BF are available now, and volume production is scheduled in August 2007.
The chips are offered in a RoHS compliant version.
