[TAMARACK M. I.]

General Description

The TC5299J is a 10/100 PCMCIA Ethernet controller, include a standard MII interface. It provides an 8/16-bit PCMCIA interface to host CPU and buffer memory into single chip to minimize the chip gate count.

The TC5299J supports both half-duplex and full-duplex (both 10BT or 100BTX) operation environment.

Features

● PCMCIA 2.01 bus interface.

● Use serial EEPROM 93C56/66 to store CIS.

● Internal 5V to 3.3V regulator.

Ethernet LAN features:

● Integrated Fast Ethernet MAC and SRAM in one chip.

● Supports both 10Mbps and 100Mbps operation.

● IEEE 802.3/802.3u compatible.

● Full-duplex or half-duplex operation supported for both 10Mbps and 100Mbps operation.

● NE2000 register definitions.

● Supports 3.3V or 5V signaling environment.

● The size of built-in Buffer RAM is 8k x 16 bits. It does not need the extra SRAM in the application circuit.

● Supports loop-back mode for self-testing.

● Supports 256/512 bytes EEPROM interface.

● LED interface supported.

● Supports MII bus interface.

● Flow control ability
