Overview
The AM79C976KC is a PCnet-PRO single-chip Ethernet controller manufactured by Advanced Micro Devices. It supports 10/100 Mbps data rates and interfaces with the Peripheral Component Interconnect (PCI) local bus. The device integrates a full-duplex MAC and PHY, supporting ISO 8802.3 standards. It features a 32-bit bus-master architecture with DMA buffer management. The component operates at 5V and utilizes a Plastic Quad Flat Package (QFP) with 208 pins.
Feature Summary
- Integrates 10/100 Mbps Ethernet controller functionality on a single chip
- Supports full-duplex operation for increased network bandwidth
- Features direct interface to PCI local bus compliant with Revision 2.0
- Includes integrated Magic Packet support for remote wake-up capabilities
Applications
- Network-ready personal computers
- Network printers
- Fax modems
- Bridge and router designs
Procurement Notes
Verify the manufacturer source carefully as AMD has undergone significant corporate restructuring. Confirm the specific suffix 'KC' matches the required package type and temperature range against official documentation. Ensure compatibility with legacy PCI slot implementations if used in modern systems.
Selection Notes
Select this component for legacy PCI-based embedded systems requiring integrated Ethernet connectivity. Compare against newer controllers if high-speed or PCIe interfaces are required. Verify software driver availability for the target operating system before integration into new designs.
Part Context
This part belongs to the PCnet family of Ethernet controllers from Advanced Micro Devices. It succeeds earlier LANCE and PCnet-PCI models, offering enhanced performance through integrated PHY and higher speed support. It represents a mature technology solution for established industrial and commercial networking applications.
Replacement Considerations
Direct replacements may be limited due to age. Consider the AM79C970AKCW for similar PCI Ethernet functionality. Newer designs might require adapters or entirely different controller families.
