Electronic Components DP83932CVF-25

The SONIC (Systems-Oriented Network Interface Controller) is a second-generation Ethernet Controller designed to meet the demands of today’s high-speed 32- and 16-bit systems. Its system interface operates with a high speed DMA that typically consumes less than 3% of the bus bandwidth (25 MHz bus clock). Selectable bus modes provide both big and little endian byte ordering and a clean interface to standard microprocessors. The linked-list buffer management system of SONIC offers maximum flexibility in a variety of environments from PC-oriented adapters to high-speed motherboard designs. Furthermore, the SONIC integrates a fully-compatible IEEE 802.3 Encoder/Decoder (ENDEC) allowing for a simple 2-chip solution for Ethernet when the SONIC is paired with the DP8392 Coaxial Transceiver Interface or a 10BASE-T transceiver.
