CS8900A
Crystal LAN™ ISA Ethernet Controller
CIRRUS LOGIC PRODUCT DATA SHEET
tive portable and desktop PCs. Motherboard design
options include:
•
An EEPROM can be used to store node-specif-
ic information, such as the Ethernet Individual
Address and node configuration.
•
The 20 MHz crystal oscillator may be replaced
by a 20 MHz clock signal.
1.2.2 Ethernet Adapter Cards
The CS8900A’s highly efficient PacketPage archi-
tecture, with StreamTransfer™
and Auto-Switch
DMA options, make it an excellent choice for high-
performance, low-cost ISA adapter cards
(Figure 2). The CS8900A’s wide range of configu-
ration options and performance features allow en-
gineers to design Ethernet solutions that meet their
particular system requirements. Adapter card de-
sign options include:
•
A Boot PROM can be added to support diskless
applications.
•
The 10BASE-T transmitter and receiver im-
pedance can be adjusted to support 100, 120, or
150 Ohm twisted pair cables.
•
An external Latchable-Address-bus decode cir-
cuit can be added to operate the CS8900A in
Upper-Memory space.
•
On-chip LED ports can be used for either op-
tional LEDs, or as programmable outputs.
