Crystal LAN™ Ethernet Controller

CS8900A is a Crystal LAN® 10Base-T Embedded Ethernet Controller featuring a single-chip IEEE802.3 Ethernet solution and operating at full duplex. It has an on-chip RAM buffers transmit and receive frames as well as 10Base-T ports and filters. It has on-chip RAM, 10Base-T transmit-and-receive filters and a direct ISA-Bus interface with 24 mA drivers.

It eliminates the need for costly external components required by other Ethernet controllers. It also offers a broad range of performance features and configuration options. It increases system efficiency because it has a unique PacketPage architecture that automatically adapts to changing network traffic patterns and available system resources.

CS8900A is available in a 100-pin TQFP package for small form-factor, cost-sensitive Ethernet applications. This product (CS8900A) has a small design that will allow system engineers to design a complete Ethernet circuit that occupies less than 1.5 square inches (10 sq. cm.) of board space. Incorporates a 4-Kbyte page of on-chip memory, eliminating the cost and board area associated with external memory chips.

CS8900A’s Ethernet Media Access Control (MAC) engine is fully compliant with the IEEE 802.3 Ethernet standard (ISO/IEC 8802-3, 1993), and supports full-duplex operation. CS8900A is designed to work well in either motherboard or adapter applications.

CS8900A is very low cost, high performance, low power consumption, it offers three power-down options: Hardware Standby, Hardware Suspend and Software Suspend. It is also designed for very low noise emission.
