Accelent Systems Selects SMSC's LAN91C111 Non-PCI 10/100 Ethernet MAC+PHY for Its Intel PXA250-Based Integrated Development Platform.Business & High Tech Editors HAUPPAUGE, N.Y.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--June 24, 2002 Standard Microsystems Corporation (Nasdaq: SMSC SMSC Short Message Service Center SMSC Standard Microsystems Corporation (New York) SMSC Spiritual Moral Social Cultural (education) SMSC Stephenville Medical and Surgical Clinic ) announced today that Accelent Systems Inc. has selected SMSC's LAN (Local Area Network) A communications network that serves users within a confined geographical area. The "clients" are the user's workstations typically running Windows, although Mac and Linux clients are also used. 91C111 10/100 non-PCI Ethernet device to be incorporated in its Integrated Development Platform (IDP) based on the Intel(R) PXA250 applications processor with XScale(TM) technology. The LAN91C111 integrates the IEEE (Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers, New York, www.ieee.org) A membership organization that includes engineers, scientists and students in electronics and allied fields. 802.3-compliant Fast Ethernet An earlier name for 100Mbps Ethernet. See 100Base-T. (networking) Fast Ethernet - A version of Ethernet developed in the 1990s(?) which can carry 100 Mbps compared with standard Ethernet's 10 Mbps. It requires upgraded network cards and hubs. Media Access Controller (MAC), the 10/100 Mbps Ethernet Physical Layer The Ethernet physical layer is the physical layer component of the Ethernet standard. The Ethernet physical layer evolved over a considerable time span and encompasses quite a few physical media interfaces and several magnitudes of speed. (PHY See physical layer and physical. ) and transmit and receive buffer memory (SRAM See static RAM. SRAM - static random-access memory ) into a single device to deliver full functionality in a high performance compact design, reducing production cost and board space. It is designed to facilitate the implementation of a third generation of Fast Ethernet connectivity solutions for embedded applications. In addition to these features, Accelent chose SMSC's LAN91C111 Ethernet controller because of its direct interface with embedded processors, eliminating the need to use a PCI bus PCI bus - Peripheral Component Interconnect interface. Accelent's IDP platform for the Intel PXA250 applications processor was developed to speed the embedded device development cycle. Accelent combined the high performance and power efficiencies of the Intel XScale microarchitecture found in the PXA250 with the functionality and flexibility of Accelent's software architecture. Together, they provide a feature rich, cost-effective development platform for embedded device application and product development. "Our goal is to provide the development community with the most complete, reliable development platform possible to enable their embedded designs," said Albert McCabe, Executive Vice President of Sales and Marketing for Accelent Systems. "By choosing SMSC's LAN91C111 Ethernet controller for our Intel PXA250-based IDP platform, we fulfill this goal by taking full advantage of the chip's 32-bit data bus interface capabilities, thus improving overall performance of the system by reducing memory access to a minimum." "Accelent and SMSC have a common base of customers who are constantly looking for Looking for In the context of general equities, this describing a buy interest in which a dealer is asked to offer stock, often involving a capital commitment. Antithesis of in touch with. ways to reduce cost and time to market while using the latest technology. The combination of SMSC's LAN91C111, with its integrated physical layer, flexible processor interface and 32 bit wide data access bus, on Accelent's PXA250 based IDP platform is a perfect vehicle to this end. We are planning to use the IDP platform as a system for device evaluation and ongoing driver development," stated Fred Weber Fred Weber can be:
