Using the Fast Ethernet Network Controller
The DE2 board uses DM9000A for Fast Ethernet interface. The DM9000A is a fully
integrated and cost-effective low pin count single chip Fast Ethernet controller with a
general processor interface, a 10/100< PHY, and 4K Dword SRAM. It is designed
with low power and high performance process that support 3.3V with 5V IO
tolerance. Figure 3.13 shows the schematic design for the Fast Ethernet interface for
DE2. The pin assignment of the associated interface is shown in Table 3.11.
