Net186-EVAL-KT, Evaluation Platform based on Am186 ES and PCnet-ISA II Based Stand-Alone

Description

• Net186-EVAL-KT, Evaluation Board meets the needs of customers working with embedded networking control applications using the Am186ES microcontroller and the PCnet-ISA II single-chip Ethernet controller. This board provides a complete stand-alone, microcontroller and Ethernet-based evaluation in a low-cost, exceptionally small form-factor product. This evaluation board features the Am186ES, high-performance, 80C186-compatible, 16-bit embedded controller, and the PCnet-ISA II high performance, 16-bit, single-chip Ethernet controller for ISA. The microcontroller section consists of the Am186ES, 512 Kbytes FLASH and 512 Kbytes SRAM. The Ethernet section consists of a PAL for glue logic and the Am79C961A PCnet-ISA II. The design takes advantages of the Bus Mastering capability of the PCnet-ISA II to achieve high performance and low system cost, while reducing the amount of software overhead on the microcontroller
