Ethernet Interface
Ethernet connectivity is becoming ubiquitous and most new office and industrial buildings are being wired for Ethernet. As lower-cost solutions are becoming available, it is increasingly easy to use Ethernet for control, lightning, and diagnostic applications.
Microchip addresses the growing demand for a small and low-cost embedded Ethernet solution by offering the following:
- PIC32MX6XX and PIC32MX7XX families with integrated 10/100 Ethernet MAC, dedicated DMA interface supports packet scatter/gather for outstanding low CPU-overhead performance at full 100 Megabits/second, industry-standard RMII/MII interface, and pre-programmed unique MAC address. This family is fully compatible with 10/100/1000 Base-T networks
- 10/100 Base-T ENC624J600 standalone Ethernet controllers which are IEEE 802.3 compliant, integrated with hardware cryptographic security engines and factory preprogrammed unique MAC address. This family is fully compatible with 10/100/1000 Base-T networks
- 10 Base-T ENC28J60 standalone Ethernet controller and the PIC18F97J60 family which are IEEE 802.3 compliant and fully compatible with 10/100/1000 Base-T networks
- Free licensed and robust TCP/IP stack which is optimized for the PIC® Microcontrollers (MCUs) and dsPIC® MCU families
- EUI-48™ and EUI-64™ enabled MAC address chips along with Serial EEPROM functionality
- A broad range of development tools to enhance user's experience:
