- Robust wired network interface with support for essential TCP/IP protocols: TCP, UDP, ICMP, IPv4, ARP, IGMP, and PPPoE, enabling flexible connectivity in diverse environments. - High capacity and flexible MCU integration: 8 independent sockets can operate simultaneously, with a power down mode to save energy. Wake on LAN over UDP allows remotely waking devices when needed. Includes a high speed Serial Peripheral Interface (SPI) with SPI MODE 0 and 3 for reliable host MCU interfacing. - Efficient data handling and built‑in PHY: Internal 32 KB TX/RX buffer memory and a 10BaseT/100BaseTX Ethernet PHY embedded for compact, dependable performance in embedded systems. - Auto negotiation and fragmentation behavior: Automatically negotiates full or half duplex and 10/100 speeds to suit the network. Does not support IP fragmentation. - Practical use scenarios: - Industrial controller or PLC: Maintains reliable Ethernet connectivity with multiple concurrent TCP/UDP streams while interfacing to a microcontroller via SPI. - Small office or home network appliance: Supports PPPoE connectivity, Wake on LAN over UDP, and energy saving via power down mode. - Embedded gateway or networked device: Handles concurrent network traffic for a home automation hub or similar device with 8 sockets and embedded PHY. - Key attributes: compact embedded solution with multiple protocol support, 8 simultaneous sockets, wake on LAN capability, internal TX/RX buffering, and 10/100 Mbps Ethernet PHY, suitable for automotive, industrial, and consumer electronics applications.
