The wakeup events supported are network link state change, receipt of a Magic Packet or a pre-programmed Microsoft Wakeup Frame or through GPIO pin Supports variable voltage I/O (1.8/2.5/3.3V) and programmable driving strength (8/16mA) Interrupt pin with programmable timer Supports Protocol Offload (ARP & NS) for Windows 7 Networking Power Management High-performance SPI slave interface Supports SPI slave interface for CPU with SPI master. The SPI slave interface supports SPI timing mode 0 and 3, up to 40MHz of SPICLK, variable voltage I/O and programmable driving strength Supports complete I/O pins isolation during WOL mode or Remote Wakeup Ready mode to reduce leakage current on non-PCI and SPI slave host interface Supports optional EEPROM interface to store MAC address Supports optional Ready signal as flow control for SPI packet RX/TX Single-chip controller Fast Ethernet Supports up to four GPIOs and two of them support Wake-On-LAN MAC/PHY Supports programmable LED pins for various network activity indications with variable voltage I/O and programmable driving strength Embeds 14KB SRAM for packet buffers Supports IPv4/IPv6 packet Checksum Offload Engine to reduce CPU loading, including IPv4 IP/TCP/UDP/ICMP/IGMP and IPv6 TCP/UDP/ICMPv6 checksum generation & check Integrates voltage regulator, 25MHz crystal oscillator and power on reset circuit on chip Supports optional clock output (25, 50, or 100MHz) for system use, if 25MHz crystal is present Supports VLAN match filter Integrates IEEE 802.3/802.3u standards compatible 10BASE-T/100BASE-TX (twisted pair copper mode) Fast Ethernet MAC/PHY transceiver in one single-chip Supports twisted pair crossover detection and correction (HP Auto-MDIX) Supports full duplex operation with IEEE 802.3x flow control and half duplex operation with back-pressure flow control Supports alternative clock input (25MHz) from system clock to save the 25MHz crystal cost 64-pin LQFP RoHS compliant package Operates over 0 to +70C or -40 to +85C temperature range Product Description The AX88796C is a SPI or non-PCI Ethernet controller with low power, low-pin-count and variable voltage I/O for the Embedded and Industrial Ethernet applications. The AX88796C supports 8/16-bit SRAM-like or ASIX Electronics Corporation 4F, No.8, Hsin Ann Rd., Hsinchu Science Park, Hsinchu, Taiwan 30078 1 Released Date: 3/16/2010 TEL: +886-3-579-9500 FAX: +886-3-579-9558 http://www.asix.com.tw/ AX88796C Low-Power SPI or Non-PCI Ethernet Controller Address-Data Multiplex host interface with variable voltage I/O, providing a glue-less connection to common or high-end MCUs. The AX88796C also provides an alternative SPI slave interface for MCUs with SPI master for simplifying host interface connection. The AX88796C integrates on-chip Fast Ethernet MAC and PHY, which is IEEE 802.3/802.3u 10BASE-T/100BASE-TX compatible, and 14KB embedded SRAM for packet buffering to accommodate high bandwidth applications. The AX88796C offers a wide array of features including support for advanced power management, high performance data transfer on host interface, IPv4/IPv6 checksum offload engine, HP Auto-MDIX, and IEEE 802.3x and back-pressure flow control. The AX88796C supports two operating temperature ranges, namely, commercial grade from 0 to 70 C and industrial grade from –40 to 85 C. The small form factor of 64-pin LQFP package helps reduce the overall PCB space. The programming of AX88796C is simple, so the users can easily port the software drivers to many embedded systems very quickly.
