Product: VRM-CMN-ETH

The CMN-ETH is a miniature Ethernet controller, housed on a PC•MIP mezzanine module. The PC•MIP electrical characteristics are derived from the well known PCI specification. With respect to the mechanics, PC•MIP modules represent an improved successer to the PMC- and M-Module technology. Up to 6 PC•MIP modules can be mounted on a single CompactPCI® carrier board for a maximum of functionality at low cost, thus making the system integration easier.

The CMN-ETH is provided with an RJ45-style jack for direct attachment to any 10Base-T and 100Base-TX based LAN by common CAT5/6 twisted-pair patch cables, with distances beyond 100m. The CMN-ETH supports auto-negotiation and is full-duplex capable, leading to a max data throughput of up to 200Mb/s.

The Ethernet controller CMN-ETH is a type II, single-size PC•MIP Module. The circuitry is based on the Intel 82559ER, a single-chip solution integrating both the MAC and PHY layers. Due to its improved reliability and cost advantage the CMN-ETH outperforms traditional two-chip based networking interface controller designs. The 82559 is implicitly supported by most recent disk operating systems. Furthermore, Intel offers drivers for download for a wide variety of environments.
