The CS8900A is a low-cost Ethernet LAN Controller optimized for the Industry Standard Architecture （ISA） bus

　　and general purpose microcontroller busses. Its highlyintegrated design eliminates the need for costly external

　　components required by other Ethernet controllers. The

　　CS8900A includes on-chip RAM， 10BASE-T transmit

　　and receive filters， and a direct ISA-Bus interface with

　　24 mA Drivers.

　　In addition to high integration， the CS8900A offers a

　　broad range of performance features and configurationoptions. Its unique PacketPage architecture

　　automatically adapts to changing network traffic patterns and available system resources. The result is

　　increased system efficiency.

　　The CS8900A is available in a 100-pin LQFP package

　　ideally suited for small form-factor， cost-sensitive Ethernet applications. With the CS8900A， system engineers

　　can design a complete Ethernet circuit that occupies

　　less than 1.5 square inches （10 sq. cm） of board space.
