High-Performance, Single-Chip 10/100 Ethernet Controller for Automotive Applications

The LAN89218 is a full-featured, single-chip 10/100 Ethernet controller which incorporates essential protocol requirements for operating an Ethernet/IEEE 802.3 10BASE-T and 802.3u100BASE-TX node. It is specifically designed and tested for 16/32-bit automotive grade applications including diagnostic interface, system test interface, and fast software downloads where performance, flexibility, ease of integration and system cost control are required.

Applications

  • Diagnostic interface for dealership service bay
  • Fast software download interface (e.g. OBD connector)
  • Gateway service interface for dealership, aftermarket, repair shop
  • In-vehicle engineering development interface
  • Vehicle manufacturing test interface for production plant assembly line
TrueAuto™ is SMSC’s proven total approach to true automotive-grade quality, allowing SMSC to deliver leading-edge, quality devices and services which fulfill the needs of the most demanding automotive customers.

TrueAuto device robustness begins with designing SMSC's reliability techniques within the silicon IC itself. The IC is fully-characterized over many operating parameters to ensure quality under a variety of conditions. SMSC's TrueAuto approach meets or exceeds automotive reliability standards as well as customer-specific requirements and goes far beyond the stress tests prescribed by the AEC-Q100 specifications. Extensive technologies and processes, such as enhanced monitors, are used in the fabrication of TrueAuto products in order to continuously drive improvements in accordance with SMSC's zero Defects per Million (DPM) goals.
