OVERVIEW

The LAN950x is a high performance solution for USB to 10/100 Ethernet port bridging. With applications ranging from embedded systems, set-top boxes, and PVRs, to USB port replicators, USB to Ethernet dongles, and test instrumentation, the device is targeted as a high performance, low cost USB/Ethernet connectivity solution.

The LAN950x contains an integrated 10/100 Ethernet PHY, USB PHY, Hi-Speed USB 2.0 device controller, 10/100 Ethernet MAC, TAP controller, EEPROM controller, and a FIFO controller with a total of 30 KB of internal packet buffering. Two KB of buffer memory are allocated to the Transaction Layer Interface (TLI), while 28 KB are allocated to the FIFO Controller (FCT).

The internal USB 2.0 device controller and USB PHY are compliant with the USB 2.0 Hi-Speed standard. The device implements Control, Interrupt, Bulk-in, and Bulk-out USB Endpoints.
