Single Chip Fast Ethernet Controller With Power Management
RTL8139A(L) Download datasheet (v1.00) !! Features of RTL8139A(L)!! Software Support !!
General Description:
The Realtek RTL8139A is a highly integrated and cost-effective single-chip Fast Ethernet
controller that provides 32-bit performance, PCI bus master capability, and full compliance with
IEEE 802.3u 100Base-T specifications and IEEE 802.3x Full Duplex Flow Control. It also
supports ACPI, PCI power management for modern operating systems that is capable of
Operating System Directed Power Management (OSPM) to achieve the most efficient power
management. The RTL8139A is also suitable for motherboard with built-in network controller
application.
The RTL8139A keeps network maintenance cost low and eliminates usage barriers. It is the
easiest way to upgrade a network from 10 to 100Mbps. It also supports full-duplex operation,
making possible 200Mbps of bandwidth at no additional cost. The RTL8139A is highly integrated
and requires no "glue"logic or external memory. It includes an interface for a boot ROM and
can be used in diskless workstations, providing maximum network security and ease of
management.
