Microchip Technology, Inc. Controllers ENC28J60/SP

The ENC28J60/SP is a stand-alone Ethernet controller designed for use with microcontrollers equipped with a Serial Peripheral Interface (SPI). It is compliant with IEEE 802.3 standards and supports 10Base-T networks, featuring an integrated MAC and PHY. The controller operates with a clock speed of up to 20 MHz and includes an 8-Kbyte dual-port SRAM for packet buffering, allowing for efficient data transmission and reception. Key features include automatic polarity detection, programmable retransmission on collision, and filtering capabilities for unicast, multicast, and broadcast packets. The device supports both full and half-duplex modes and offers hardware-assisted checksum calculations for various network protocols. It operates within a voltage range of 3.1V to 3.6V and is available in multiple package types, including 28-Pin SPDIP, SSOP, SOIC, and QFN. The ENC28J60/SP is suitable for applications requiring reliable Ethernet connectivity and efficient data handling, making it a viable option for engineers looking to integrate Ethernet functionality into their projects.
