SMSC's COM20019I 3V is a member of the family of Embedded ARCNET Controllers from Standard
Microsystems Corporation. The device is a general purpose communications controller for networking
microcontrollers and intelligent peripherals in industrial and embedded control environments using an
ARCNET protocol engine. The flexible microcontroller and media interfaces, eight-page message support,
and extended temperature range of the COM20019I 3V make it the only true network controller optimized
for use in industrial and embedded applications. Using an ARCNET protocol engine is the ideal solution
for embedded control applications because it provides a deterministic token-passing protocol, a highly
reliable and proven networking scheme, and a data rate of up to 312.5 Kbps when using the COM20019I
3V.
A token-passing protocol provides predictable response times because each network event occurs within a
predetermined time interval, based upon the number of nodes on the network. The deterministic nature of
ARCNET is essential in real time applications. The integration of the 2Kx8 RAM buffer on-chip, the
Command Chaining feature, the maximum data rate, and the internal diagnostics make the COM20019I
3V the highest performance embedded communications device available. With only one COM20019I 3V
and one microcontroller, a complete communications node may be implemented.
