Actel FPGAs have analog capability: http://www.actel.com/products/fusion/.
And you can pop a soft ARM in them...

You might take a look at the Microchip ENC28J60 if you don't need high speed. It is a mac/phy that interfaces to the processor via the SPI bus. There are free stacks available. I have seen this work and it is cost effective.

Subject: [lpc2000] LPC2148 with ethernet

I am about 90 percent done with a design project with a LPC2148 and am

looking to the future to integrate ethernet into the project. I was

told by a couple of design friends that the LPC series is not a good

series for ethernet, because of all the overhead circuitry that the

LPC doesn't handle. They are using the STR9 series for their ethernet

design, which I was told has better infrastructure for handling

ethernet. If the LPC series is not recommended for this, then I will

finish up this design and migrate over to another micro, when this

project is stable and in production. Any thoughts and experiences out

there?
