It contains a dual speed CSMA/CD engine that implements the MAC portion of the CSMA/CD protocol at 10 and 100 Mbps and couples it with a lean and fast data and control path system architecture to ensure data movement with no bottlenecks at 100 Mbps. Memory management is handled using a unique MMU (Memory Management Unit) architecture and a 32-bit wide data path. This I/O mapped architecture can sustain back-to-back frame transmission a...
