TNETE100PM

The TNETE100PM is an implementation of the ThunderLAN architecture. ThunderLAN is a high-speed networking architecture that provides a complete PCI-to-10 Base-T/AUI Ethernet solution with the flexibility to handle 100-Mbps Ethernet protocols as networking demands grow. The TNETE100PM is an intelligent-protocol network interface. The device is available in a 144-pin thin quad flat package (TQFP) and quad flat package (QFP).

There are some features of TNETE100PM as follows: (1)single-chip Ethernet controller for the peripheral component interconnect (PCI) local bus:; (2)32-bit PCI gluless host interface; compliant with PCI local-bus specification (revision 2); 0-MHz to 33-MHz operation; 3-V or 5-V I/O operation; adaptive performance optimization (APO); (3)by Texas Instruments (TI) for highest available PCI bandwidth; high performance bus master archecture with byte-aligning direct memory access (DMA) controller low host CPU and bus ultilization; plug- and -play compatible; (4)switched-Ethernet compatible; (5)supports multiple protocols with a single driver suite optimized shared interrupts; (6)no on-board memory required; (7)auto-negotiation (N-Way) compatible; (8)multimedia-ready architecture; (9)supports the card-bus card information structure (CIS) pointer register; (10)desktop management task force (DMTF) compatible; (11)low power CMOS technology-green PC compatible; (12)early-receive-interrupt count register.

The following is about the absolute maximum ratings of TNETE100PM over operating case temperature range (unless otherwise noted): (1)supply voltage range, VDD: -0.5 to 7 V; (2)input voltage range, VDD: -0.5 to 7 V; (3)output voltage range, VDD: -0.5 to 7 V; (4)operating case temperature range, TC: 0 to 95; (5)storage temperature range, Tstg: -65 to 150.
