MCHPLAN91C96-MS
Overview
The LAN91C96-MS is a high-performance 10 Mbps Ethernet MAC designed for non-PCI bus architectures. It features a buffered architecture with a Hardware Memory Management Unit (MMU) and 6 KB of RAM to optimize packet handling and reduce CPU overhead in embedded systems.
Why Choose This Part
This IC features dynamic memory allocation between transmit and receive buffers to maximize the efficiency of its 6 KB internal RAM. Its flat memory structure and Magic Packet technology provide advanced power management and low CPU overhead, making it ideal for power-constrained 3.3V or 5.0V systems.
Applications
Getting Started
Engineers should integrate the device via its flexible 16-bit or 8-bit bus interface and may use an external serial EEPROM for jumperless configuration. Development typically involves writing a custom driver using the device's chained transmit and receive architecture for high throughput.
