Why Ethernet?

• Ethernet is the most widely deployed network in offices and industrial

buildings

• Ethernet’s infrastructure, interoperability and scalability ensure ease

of development

• Once equipment is connected to a Ethernet network, it can be

monitored or controlled through the Internet

• Low Latency – “Real Time” Remote Delivery

So why would you want to choose Ethernet?

1. Ethernet is the most widely deployed network in offices and industrial buildings. Thus
Ethernet is ubiquitous.
2. Ethernet is based on standards (IEEE802.3) that ensure reliability of network connections
and data transmission. This ensures interoperability
3. Ethernet networks are scalable from the simplest to most complex networks or up to
2^48 network nodes
4. Once equipment is connected to a Ethernet network, it can be monitored or controlled
through the Internet removing any distance barrier that may have inhibited remote
communication previously.

Thus with our Ethernet portfolio we can cater to the market needs of embedded Ethernet. As
we see from the block diagram PIC MCU and Ethernet controller can make any device
connected to the world wide web.

Based on its ease of use, low cost, high bandwidth, stability, security, and compatibility
across devices, Ethernet has become the de facto standard of network access for 32-, 16-
and even 8-bit microcontrollers.

Thus it helps in monitor, control or access devices over internet.

 Embedded Applications - Network Speeds

• 10 BaseT (10 Mbps)

• Target applications – low bandwidth
• Embedded applications behind switch or router

• 100 BaseT (100 Mbps)

• Low latency – “real time” delivery
• High bandwidth needs
• Voice over Ethernet
• Remote secure monitoring

The embedded Ethernet solutions are offered with 10 Base-T and 100 Base-T PHYs.

In 10Base-T the target applications only need to send a few bytes and don’t require high
bandwidth.
Also Embedded applications with Ethernet will typically be on a sub-network behind a
router. This prevents degrading the performance of the rest of the network.

Additionally, 100Base-T helps to reduce the latency associated with data packet
transmission and draw closer to real time delivery. Some example of high bandwidth
embedded applications that require 100Base-T bandwidth include VoIP Intercoms and
remote monitoring.

The device comes with an on-chip 100 Mbps Ethernet Physical Layer (PHY) and
Medium Access Controller (MAC), providing reliable packet-data
transmission/reception based on an industry-standard Ethernet protocol.

A total of 24 kilobytes of buffer is present on the device. The microcontroller can

configure how much of the 24KB is allocated to the receive hardware. The
unallocated space remains useful as a transmit buffer. This buffer memory provides
a flexible, reliable data-management system.

To reduce the processing requirements of the host controller, ENC624J600 devices

incorporate different cryptographic security engines. These security engines perform
the types of encryptions, decryptions and mathematical computations that are most
commonly used for network security functions. They accelerate the computation of
public/private key pair negotiations, message hash authentication and bulk data
encryption.

One of the quite unique features for this Ethernet controller is that it interfaces to
the host MCU with either SPI or flexible parallel interfaces.

•The device comes with an on-chip 10 Mbps Ethernet Physical Layer Device (PHY)
and Medium Access Controller (MAC), providing reliable packet-data
transmission/reception based on an industry-standard Ethernet protocol. The PHY
contains analog circuitry to encode and decode the data on the twisted pair interface
while the MAC contains digital circuitry to control when to transmit, handle
automatic retransmission when a collision occurs, and do other necessary tasks.

•A total of 8 kilobytes of RAM is present on the device. The microcontroller can

configure how much of the 8KB is allocated to the receive hardware. The

The single chip solution features 8-bit microcontroller and Ethernet MAC and PHY
on a single chip.
This eliminates the need for a separate interface controller which, as previously
mentioned can be complex and costly. So with this solution, only the interface for
the transmit and receive packets on twisted pairs have to be considered.
