Used mostly to connect high-end workstations and servers as well as for network backbones, Gigabit Ethernet transmits full duplex from point to point using switches and half duplex in a shared environment (CSMA/CD) using a hub. , 802.11 Wireless LAN A local area network that transmits over the air typically in the 2.4 GHz or 5 GHz unlicensed frequency band. It does not require line of sight between sender and receiver. Wireless base stations (access points) are wired to an Ethernet network and transmit a radio frequency over an area , and other Advanced PC Communications Cards California Micro Devices (Nasdaq:CAMD CAMD Center for Advanced Microstructures and Devices CAMD Clean Air Markets Division (US EPA) CAMD Computer-Assisted Molecular Design CAMD Chemical Agent and Munitions Disposal CAMD Carl Asmis Memorial Dressage Association ) today announced the CM3103, the latest member of its industry-leading SmartOR(TM) power regulator family. The CM3103 is an ideal solution for network interface cards that use two power sources, a 5V main supply and a 3.3V auxiliary (standby) supply. The device integrates a 5V to 3.3V 400 mA regulator with a 3.3V Vaux switch, providing a constant 3.3V output when dynamically switching between the 5V main supply or 3.3 Vaux supply. The CM3103 is designed to provide a complete power management solution to enable Instantly Available PC (IAPC IAPC Instantly Available PC IAPC International Auditing Practices Committee IAPC International Association of Pet Cemeteries IAPC International Association for the Presa Canario IAPC Illinois Association of Pet Crematories IAPC Internet anti Piracy Campaign ) functionality, such as "Wake-on-LAN", for advanced communications cards such as gigabit Ethernet and 802.11 wireless LAN. Smooth Power Transition Most advanced PC communications cards, such as 10/100 Ethernet, gigabit Ethernet, and wireless LAN cards, are designed to support IAPC capability. IAPC allows a PC to be put into "sleep mode", and then wake from an external event, such as an MIS administrator remotely waking a user's PC over the network to upgrade software and perform a system backup. Implementing IAPC or Wake-on-LAN functionality requires special power regulator circuitry, because when a PC goes into sleep mode, it turns off its main 5V power rail to conserve power. In order to keep the networking card active when the main PC power rail goes down, the card must draw power from an alternate source. In most PCs, this is provided by one of two alternate "sleep" power rails -- a 3.3V auxiliary rail and/or a 5V standby rail. California Micro Devices' SmartOR(TM) products are designed to provide a glitch-free transition between the main and standby rails when the PC is switching modes. By constantly monitoring the main power supply and dynamically switching between power supplies as needed as needed prn. See prn order. , the CM3103 integrates a complete IAPC power management solution in a single chip. "The CM3103 and other SmartOR regulator products are ideal power management solutions for the rapidly emerging gigabit NIC (1) (Network Interface Card) See network adapter. See also InterNIC. (2) (New Internet Computer) An earlier Linux-based computer from The New Internet Computer Company (NICC), Palo Alto, CA. and wireless LAN markets," said Joe Salvador, director of marketing for computing computing - computer products at California Micro Devices. "Because networking chipsets can vary in the amount of power they require, we have developed an extensive family of SmartOR regulators, capable of supplying from 250 mA to 1.5A, meeting the needs of next-generation networking products as well as our traditional 10/100/1000 Ethernet and ADSL See DSL.

In keeping with: according to instructions. 3. IDC, 220 million PC Ethernet NIC and wireless LAN cards are expected to ship between 2003 and 2005, with Gigabit Ethernet and wireless LAN experiencing the strongest growth. Product Features The CM3103 SmartOR regulator, with a fully integrated Vaux switch, is capable of delivering up to 400mA continuously at 3.3V. Key features include: -- Continuous 3.3V output from two inputs, with dynamic switching and glitch-free transitions -- Complete power management solution -- Vcc regulator supplies 400mA output -- Integrated switch has very low RDS(ON) 0.25(OMEGA) -- Built-in hysteresis when selecting input supplies -- Foldback current limiting protection -- Thermal overload shutdown protection -- 8-pin thermally-enhanced SOIC package The thermally enhanced fused fuse 1 also fuze n. 1.
