Controllers for 100 Mbps Ethernet with integrated security cores for fast and secure connectivity
's ENC624J600 Microchip are low-cost, standalone, IEEE 802.3™ compliant 100Mbps Ethernet interface controllers. These controllers combine a 10/100Base-TX physical (PHY) interface and a Media Access Controller (MAC) with a hardware cryptographic security core, and can be connected to any PIC® microcontroller via a standard SPI (Serial Peripheral Interface) or a flexible parallel interface.
In addition, each device has a unique, factory-programmed MAC address and 24KB of configurable SRAM for buffering packet transmission/reception and data storage. This combination of speed, flexibility, and features allows designers to create fast, secure, network- and internet-enabled embedded applications that minimize board space, cost, and complexity.
The 24KB configurable SRAM buffer provides a flexible and reliable data management system, offering an efficient method for packet storage, retrieval, and modification, thus reducing the memory requirements for the host microcontroller. The ENC624J600 controllers also integrate hardware cryptographic security cores that run RSA, Diffie-Hellman, MD5, and SHA-1 calculation algorithms, supporting cryptographic protocols such as SSL/TLS, SSH, and various VPNs. These integrated hardware features enable secure data transmissions with smaller code sizes, faster connection establishment at higher speeds, and less firmware development effort.Each ENC624J600 controller has a unique Ethernet MAC address pre-programmed at the factory, as required by all commercially available Ethernet-compatible devices. With an SPI interface, only four pins are needed to connect the controller to a microcontroller, allowing the use of
smaller microcontroller packages for space-constrained applications.
Microchip offers a TCP/IP stack that can be used free of charge with any of its 8, 16, or 32-bit PIC microcontrollers or dsPIC® digital signal controllers. The stack includes SSL encryption and a TCP/IP Configuration Wizard to simplify the setup of Ethernet projects.
In addition, the stack implements the standard SSLv3 protocol to secure any TCP connection, while also providing support for HTTP web server and SMTP email client modules. Owners of Explorer 16 or PIC18 Explorer development boards can purchase the Fast 100Mbps Ethernet PICtail Plus daughterboard for $49.99 (part number AC164132). This daughterboard contains an ENC624J600 and an RJ-45 connector for developing embedded Ethernet applications.
The ENC624J600 Ethernet controller is available in 44-pin QFN or TQFP packages, or 64-pin TQFP packages.
