2 General Processor Bus Description
This chapter is intended to aid design engineers connecting the DM9000A device to a
micro-processor or micro-controller. The discussion will include the pin functional table, and
the individual control signals of the DM9000A involved in the connection between the device
and an associated micro-processor/ micro-controller in detail.

2.1 Signals Connection with Processor Bus
The DM9000A can interface directly with most general processors local bus such as ARM,
MIPS, Intel, TI, Motorola, NEC, and Hitachi... It is designed to suit for the implementation of
Fast Ethernet connectivity solutions to many embedded systems.
