I am working of ethernet controller. now i have to drive the output of ethernet controller...can anybody tell me which kind of microcontroller should i use...16 bit or 8 bit...????
for 8 bit controller, you can use ethernet to serial converter.. or in 16 or 32 bit controllers you get the ethernet interface as pin outs.... you can go for that type of controllers..
PIC, LPC,ST, samsung provide these features on the controllers itself.
cant we use ethernet controller ENC28J60 with 8 bit Microcontrollers to communicate with RJ45 connections ?
and do I have to use this controllers just with 16 bit and 32 bit controllers ? or is there no need to use ethernet controller with 16/34 bit Microcontroller ?
PS: im asking if I miss understood something or not.
you can use the ENC28J60 with any modern PIC microcontroller and the TCP/IP stack software is free from Microchip
You could consider the PIC18F97J60 or PIC32MX6xx family which have onboard ethernet interfaces (saves the external ENC28J60) see

unfortunatly there is no PIC24 or dsPIC with an onboard Etherenet (or I would have already used it). These days I use the PIC32MX6xx family.
are you intending to design and build the PCB yourself or could you consider using a development board such as Microchip's microstick
