Description

ThunderLAN is a high-speed networking architecture that provides a complete PCI-to-10 Base-T/AUI Ethernet solution with the flexibility to handle 100-Mbps Ethernet protocols as networking demands grow.

The TNETE100A, an implementation of the ThunderLAN architecture, is an intelligent protocol network interface. The ThunderLAN SRAM FIFO-based architecture eliminates the need for external memory and offers a single-chip glueless PCI-to-10 Base-T/AUI (IEEE 802.3) solution with an on-board physical layer interface. Modular support for 100 Base-T (IEEE 802.3u), and 100VG-AnyLAN (IEEE 802.12) is provided by a superset of the industry-standard media independent interface (MII). ThunderLAN uses a single driver suite to support multiple networking protocols.
