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.
Using an AX88742 with 32bit PCI microcontroller or an AX88783 with generic 8/16/32bit microcontroller, designers can provide two-port Ethernet connectivity to the embedded systems to distribute voice, video and data remotely over the network.
The AX88783 is a two-port Ethernet switch featuring a third port, 32bit nonPCI/SRAM-like host interface.
The AX88742 is a two-port Ethernet switch, with the third port being connected to a 32bit/33MHz PCI host interface.
The built-in switching fabric supports nonblocking wire-speed forwarding and offers an advanced switch feature set that includes tag/port-based VLAN, spanning tree, QoS priority management, rate control, port security, port mirroring, IGMP snooping and MIB counters.
Asix' ICs are designed for performance-sensitive embedded applications that need to support two Ethernet ports, typically one for a LAN port and one for a WAN port.
The AX88742/AX88783 support HP Auto-MDIX, which allows both the straight-through and crossover cables to be directly connected to the device without end user guesswork.
