Ethernet addon board for LPC

Started by Michael Anburaj October 6, 2005
Hi all,

Some days back I came across 2 WebPages providing
Ethernet add-on cards for micro-controller using
CS8900A -- which I thought I would use with my LPC2106
& LPC2138 boards. I some how misplaced the web links.
If anyone knows them or similar pages -- which provide
cheep Ethernet add-on boards based on CS8900A, please
let me know.

Thanks,
-Mike.

I've seen a few others as well.


Why do you want to use a CS8900A? That is only Enet-10 controller.

I have an application now where I need both USB-2 (480M) and Enet-10/100, and for the Enet-10/100 I am using the SMSC LAN9116 or LAN91C111. Those give you both the PHY+MAC. Very well established parts, with lots of other source code around and RTOS support for stacks. For the USB-2 I picked the Philips ISP1582.

Another alternative would be the latest 10/100 PHY from National
which has been designed to operate with embedded microcontrollers.
More info at http://www.national.com/pf/DP/DP83848C.html. They also
offer a 10/100 MAC+PHY (http://www.national.com/appinfo/networks/)
plus a rather useful "Ethernet Made Easy" on-line design tool which
I've found useful.

Does anyone know of a low pin count USB host controller ?

The best one so far is the Cypress SL811HS.

I would prefer an SPI interface if possible -----Original Message-----

Have you looked at the MicroChip ENC28J60, Just come across this chip
looks quite interesting. You could port the Microchip Stack see here
http://www.edtp.com/downloads.htm but I don't know what the licence
implications are.

Look at this link http://www.edtp.com/framethrower.htm for an example
of the chip in use.

Cheers

Martin

MAX3420E - new part just released.

I haven't had a chance to play with it yet, but it looks
good.

That supports for USB device operation only, not USB host operation.
However, it is a nice device--I have it working on ARM, MSP430, and
MAXQ.

Don't hold your breath waiting for the part - I ordered a couple
from digikey months ago ... still waiting.
