Hi, I was wondering on anyone's experiences with the new low end (i.e. 8 bit) microcontrollers with integrated ethernet. All I can think of are the following: 1. eZ80 Acclaim from Zilog. 2. DS80C400 (an 8051 core) with integrated ethernet. I need to accomplish connectivity of embedded industrial devices to a LAN, but would like to eliminate the need for extra nic chips outside the micro. The chips above look like they're around $10 to $15 in large quantities. Do I have any other alternatives for built in ethernet micros? Perhaps an ARM7TDMI? Basically I would like a microcontroller below $15 with integrated ethernet. Thanks, Mike

MPC852, it costs about $8-9.

They are in many of the low cost routers/switches. We've used them with pleasure.
