LAN89730

Microchip's LAN89730 was specifically designed to provide a high-performance, low-cost USB to 10/100 Ethernet connectivity solution with a Hi-Speed Inter-Chip (HSIC) interface for automotive applications. Many high-performance mobile processor include an HSIC interface to reduce pin count and power, and often do not include an Ethernet interface. The LAN89730 provides a convenient way to connect such processors to an Ethernet network. Taking advantage of the broad availability of existing USB drivers and software, Microchip's proprietary HSIC technology incorporates a 2-pin digital bus that enables the use of USB as a low-power, chip-to-chip interconnect at speeds up to 480 Mbps
