TC3299CE

The TC3299CE uses analog Phase Lock Loop method for the Manchester encoding and decoding required by the IEEE 802.3 specification at 10Mbit/ sec which is the integration of the entire bus interface for PCMCIA BUS and includes Ethemet controller, Manchester Encoder/decoder, 10BaseT function. TC3299CE is designed for conventional PCMCIA LAN CARD with Twister Pair interface connecting by filter. The TC3299CE(LEPC) is designed to reduce parts count and cost for easy implementation of PCMCIA CSMA/CD Local Area Networks. It complies with IEEE 802.3 standards. TC3299CE is compatible to NS8390 controller's register and Novell NE2000 industry Ethernet standard. To store CIS, TC3299CE needs an EEPROM 93C56/66 in PCMCIA LAN CARD to reduce component cost. LED driver for Link and activity are also provided. 10BaseT functional block includes receiver and transmitter, collision, loopback, jabber and link integrity and Polarity Detection/Correction blocks as defined in standard. A collision detect translator and diagnostic Loopback Capability are included.

The features of TC3299CE can be summarized as (1)16 bit PC card interface; (2)use serial EEPROM 93C56/93C66 to store CIS; (3)NE2000 compatible; (4)IEEE 802.3 compatible; (5)NS8390 Register compatible controller; (6)endec, UTP interface; (7)LED support for activity and Link; (8)100-pin LQFP package; (9)low power CMOS process and low work voltage.

The absolute maximum ratings of TC3299CE are (1)ambient temperature under bias: 0°C to 70°C; (2)storage temperature: -40°C to 125°C; (3)voltage on all input and outputs with respect to VSS: -0.5V(3.3V) to 4.6V(3.3V).
