2 MIC-3660 User's Manual
1.1 Description
The MIC-3660 is a 3U-size, high-performance Fast Ethernet module
for CompactPCI systems. This module complies with IEEE 802.3/
802.3u for 10Base-T and 100 Base-TX data rates, and CompactPCI
Specification 2.0 R 2.1.
The module uses an Intel 82558B Fast Ethernet controller with
integrated PHY. Its on-chip 3 KB receive/3 KB transmit FIFOs and
32-bit PCI scatter-gather bus mastering capability provide "glueless"
high speed data transfer at 100 Mbps with minimum Interframe
Spacing (IFS).
The MIC-3660 can be connected to 10 or 100 Mbps Ethernet net-
work. It detects the speed of the network and switches to 10 or 100
Mbps operation automatically.
The MIC-3660 comes with drivers for a wide variety of networks and
operating systems. It is an excellent choice for operation in
standalone and harsh industrial environments.
