Chapter 1 General Description
Revision 1.91 (06-01-09)
The SMSC LAN91C111 is designed to facilitate the implementation of a third generation of Fast
Ethernet connectivity solutions for embedded applications. For this third generation of products,
flexibility and integration dominate the design requirements. The LAN91C111 is a mixed signal
Analog/Digital device that implements the MAC and PHY portion of the CSMA/CD protocol at 10 and
100 Mbps. The design will also minimize data throughput constraints utilizing a 32-bit, 16-bit or 8-bit
bus Host interface in embedded applications.
The total internal memory FIFO buffer size is 8 Kbytes, which is the total chip storage for transmit and
receive operations.
The SMSC LAN91C111 is software compatible with the LAN9000 family of products.
Memory management is handled using a patented optimized MMU (Memory Management Unit)
architecture and a 32-bit wide internal data path. This I/O mapped architecture can sustain back-to-
back frame transmission and reception for superior data throughput and optimal performance. It also
dynamically allocates buffer memory in an efficient buffer utilization scheme, reducing software tasks
and relieving the host CPU from performing these housekeeping functions.
The SMSC LAN91C111 provides a flexible slave interface for easy connectivity with industry-standard
buses. The Bus Interface Unit (BIU) can handle synchronous as well as asynchronous transfers, with
different signals being used for each one. Asynchronous bus support for ISA is supported even though
ISA cannot sustain 100 Mbps traffic. Fast Ethernet data rates are attainable for ISA-based nodes on
the basis of the aggregate traffic benefits.
Two different interfaces are supported on the network side. The first Interface is a standard Magnetics
transmit/receive pair interfacing to 10/100Base-T utilizing the internal physical layer block. The second
interface follows the MII (Media Independent Interface) specification standard, consisting of 4 bit wide
data transfers at the nibble rate. This interface is applicable to 10 Mbps standard Ethernet or 100 Mbps
Ethernet networks. Three of the LAN91C111’s pins are used to interface to the two-line MII serial
management protocol.
The SMSC LAN91C111 integrates IEEE 802.3 Physical Layer for twisted pair Ethernet applications.
The PHY can be configured for either 100 Mbps (100Base-TX) or 10 Mbps (10Base-T) Ethernet
operation. The Analog PHY block consists of a 4B5B/Manchester encoder/decoder, scrambler/de-
scrambler, transmitter with wave shaping and output driver, twisted pair receiver with on chip equalizer
and baseline wander correction, clock and data recovery, Auto-Negotiation, controller interface (MII),
and serial port (MI). Internal output wave shaping circuitry and on-chip filters eliminate the need for
external filters normally required in 100Base-TX and 10Base-T applications.
The LAN91C111 can automatically configure itself for 100 or 10 Mbps and Full or Half Duplex operation
with the on-chip Auto-Negotiation algorithm. The LAN91C111 is ideal for media interfaces for
embedded application desiring Ethernet connectivity as well as 100Base-TX/10Base-T adapter cards,
motherboards, repeaters, switching hubs. The LAN91C111 operates from a single 3.3V supply. The
inputs and outputs of the host Interface are 5V tolerant and will directly interface to other 5V devices.
