Figure 3.2 Block Diagram

The diagram shown in Figure 3.2 describes the supported Host interfaces, which include ISA or Generic Embedded. The Host interface is an 8, 16 or 32 bit wide address / data bus with extensions for 32, 16 and 8 bit embedded RISC and ARM processors.

The figure shown next page describes the SMSC LAN91C111 functional blocks required to integrate a 10/100 Ethernet Physical layer framer to the internal MAC.
