Gigabit Ethernet Controller

[karlheinz]

Hi,

does anyone know an Integrated Gigabit Ethernet Controller (MAC and PHY) with
a register based interface (not PCI) ?

Davicom will release the DM9702 in this year.

you want to use a Gigabit Ethernet Controller chip include MAC and PHY?

i thank this is a challenge for IC design house at present.

u also can search information about this on broadcom and marvell.

Why not PCI. The PCI ethernet controller is very common. If you do not use it, you will increase your design cost greatly.

Yes, PCI is very common but it must be implemented somewhere, for example in
a FPGA, and this is not a cheap solution. I did not find any information about PCI-less
controllers from Broadcom or Marvell and Davicom is still developing their chip.
They can't even deliver a datasheet.

So I think I will use a FPGA with Embedded MAC (Xilinx Virtex 4) and external PHY.
