AX88796C

Low-Power SPI or Non-PCI Ethernet Controller

Address-Data Multiplex host interface with variable voltage I/O, providing a glue-less connection to

common or high-end MCUs. The AX88796C also provides an alternative SPI slave interface for MCUs with

SPI master for simplifying host interface connection. The AX88796C integrates on-chip Fast Ethernet MAC

and PHY, which is IEEE 802.3/802.3u 10BASE-T/100BASE-TX compatible, and 14KB embedded SRAM

for packet buffering to accommodate high bandwidth applications. The AX88796C offers a wide array of

features including support for advanced power management, high performance data transfer on host

interface, IPv4/IPv6 checksum offload engine, HP Auto-MDIX, and IEEE 802.3x and back-pressure flow

control. The AX88796C supports two operating temperature ranges, namely, commercial grade from 0 to 70

C and industrial grade from –40 to 85 C. The small form factor of 64-pin LQFP package helps reduce the

overall PCB space. The programming of AX88796C is simple, so the users can easily port the software

drivers to many embedded systems very quickly.
