DM9000B
Ethernet Controller with General Processor Interface
1. General Description
The DM9000B is a fully integrated and cost-effective
low pin count single chip Fast Ethernet controller with
a general processor interface, a 10/100M PHY and 4K
Dword SRAM. It is designed with low power and high
performance process interface that support 3.3V with
5V IO tolerance.
The DM9000B supports 8-bit and 16-bit data
interfaces to internal memory accesses for various
processors. The PHY of the DM9000B can interface to the
UTP3, 4, 5 in 10Base-T and UTP5 in 100Base-TX with
HP Auto-MDIX. It is fully compliant with the IEEE 802.3u
Spec. Its auto-negotiation function will automatically
configure the DM9000B to take the maximum advantage of
its abilities. The DM9000B also supports IEEE 802.3x full-
duplex flow control.
