EM960 PCI is a 32-bit, bus mastering adapter designed forPCI Local Bus servers and workstations which provides fastand trouble-free connections to Ethernet networks. With itsprocessor-independence, very large scale integration, andhigh 132 MBytes/sec. data throughput rate, EM960 PCIbrings PCI performance to the network at a low cost.EM960PCIEthernetLANAdapterPerformance through advanced designEM960 PCI is ideal for resource-intensive graphics, multimedia, andWindows applications, and mission-critical NEXTSTEP applications whichneed high throughput and low CPU utilization to power large amounts ofdata across the network. Cogent’s Predictive Pipelining technology minimizesbottlenecks system-wide and prevents transfers from loading thehost CPU. With two 256 byte independent transmit and receive FIFOs(First In, First Out) on-board, and powerful DMA capability, EM960 PCIcan tolerate increased bus latencies for decreased sensitivity to load.For even greater throughput, EM960 PCI includes Full Duplex Ethernet(FDE) capability which can be easily enabled via software to double thecumulative system throughput rate in switched Ethernet networks. TheEM960 PCI adapter has completely independent transmit and receivecircuitry for true 20 Mbits/sec. operation at Minimum Interframe Spacing.Full Duplex Ethernet servers using the EM960 PCI adapter can handlereceive and transmit requests simultaneously. As a result, workstationscan take advantage of faster service.“Plug and go” configuration provides flexibilityThe EM960 PCI is self-configuring; its base configuration is automaticallyset in BIOS for maximum convenience. The EM960 PCI configurationcan also be manually customized in BIOS to suit any environment.EM960 PCI adds flexibility to the system by allowing PCI configurationregisters to be mapped to either I/O space or memory. By providing flexibilityin how the registers are accessed, EM960 PCI makes it easy toavoid conflicts with existing resources. EM960 PCI also supportsDWORD, WORD, and BYTE access to configuration space.Product SpecificationsSystems SupportedPCI Local Bus IBM PCs or compatible,Intel-, DEC Alpha-, MIPS-basedcomputersBus InterfacePCI, 32-bit bus masterEthernet controllerDECchip ® 21040-AA LAN coprocessorchipHardware InterruptsPCI interrupt Asupports shared interruptsBase IO or Memory AddressAssigned by BIOSReliabilityCalculated MTBF>100,000 hoursPower Requirements+5 volts @ 0.5 Amp. max.+5 volts @ 1 Amp. max.
