General Description
(Continued)
The Media Access Control function which is provided by the
Network Interface Control module (NIC) provides simple
and efficient packet transmission and reception control by
means of unique dual DMA channels and an internal FIFO.
Bus arbitration and memory control logic are integrated to
reduce board cost and area overheads.
DP83902A provides a comprehensive single chip solution
for 10BASE-T IEEE 802.3 networks and is designed for
easy interface to other transceivers via the AUI interface.
Due to the inherent constraints of CMOS processing, isola-
tion is required at the AUI differential signal interface for
10BASE5 and 10BASE2 applications. Capacitive or induc-
tive isolation may be used.
