PCnet-PCI II™ (Am79C970A), and the PCnet-FAST™
(Am79C971). The Buffer Management Unit supports
the LANCE and PCnet descriptor software models.
The Am79C972 PCnet-FAST+ controller supports
auto-configuration in the PCI configuration space.
Additional Am79C972 controller configuration parame-
ters, including the unique IEEE physical address, can
be read from an exter nal nonvolatile memor y
(EEPROM) immediately following system reset.
In addition, the device provides programmable on-chip
LED drivers for transmit, receive, collision, link integrity,
Magic Packet status, activity, address match, full-du-
plex, or 100 Mbps status. The Am79C972 controller
also provides an EADI to allow external hardware ad-
dress filtering in internetworking applications and a re-
ceive frame tagging feature.

The Am79C972 PCnet-FAST+ controller contains
12-kilobyte (Kbyte) buffers, the largest of its class of 10/
100 Mbps Ethernet controllers. The large internal
buffer is programmable between the transmit (TX) and
receive (RX) queues for optimal performance.
With the rise of embedded networking applications op-
erating in harsh environments where temperatures
may exceed the normal commercial temperature win-
dow (0°C to 70°C), an industrial temperature (-40°C to
+85°C) version is available in both the 160-pin PQFP
and the 176-pin TQFP package. The Am79C972
PCnet-FAST+ 10/100 Mbps Ethernet controller can be
designed with the industrial temperature capable
Am79C874 NetPHY-1LP 10/100 Mbps Ethernet PHY
for a complete and robust Fast Ethernet solution that
can withstand extreme temperature environments.
