DM9000A Ethernet Controller with General Processor Interface

The DM9000A is a fully integrated and cost-effective low pin count single chip Fast Ethernet controller with a general processor interface, a 10/100M PHY and 4K Dword SRAM. It is designed with low power and high performance process that support 3.3V with 5V IO tolerance.

• 48-pin LQFP
• Supports processor interface: byte/word of I/O command to internal memory data operation
• Integrated 10/100M transceiver with HP Auto-MDIX
• Supports back pressure mode for half-duplex mode flow control
• IEEE802.3x flow control for full-duplex mode
• Supports wakeup frame, link status change and magic packet events for remote wake up
• Support 100M Fiber interface.
• Integrated 16K Byte SRAM
• Build in 3.3V to 2.5V regulator
• Supports early Transmit
• Supports IP/TCP/UDP checksum generation and checking
• Supports automatically load vendor ID and product ID from EEPROM
• Optional EEPROM configuration

• Very low power consumption mode:
  – Power reduced mode (cable detection)
  – Power down mode
  – Selectable TX drivers for 1:1 or 1.25:1 transformers for additional power reduction.
• Compatible with 3.3V and 5.0V tolerant I/O

The DM9000A supports 8-bit and 16-bit data interfaces to internal memory accesses for various processors. The PHY of the DM9000A can interface to the UTP3, 4, 5 in 10Base-T and UTP5 in 100Base-TX with HP Auto-MDIX. It is fully compliant with the IEEE 802.3u Spec. Its auto-negotiation function will automatically configure the DM9000A to take the maximum advantage of its abilities. The DM9000A also supports IEEE 802.3x full-duplex flow control.
