Microchip's PIC18F-97J60 family of processors reduces the board space and bill-of-materials costs for 8-bit embedded-system applications needing Ethernet connectivity by eliminating the need for extra chips for the Ethernet MAG (media-access-control) and PHY (physical) layers. This family of 8-bit microcontrollers includes a complete IEEE 802.3-compliant Ethernet controller that comprises a MAC, a PHY, an 8-kbyte transmitter/receiver-RAM buffer, and a free TCP/ IP (Transfer Control Protocol/ Internet Protocol) software stack in a single package. The nine members of the processor family target industrial and building automation, as well as commercial and home-control applications. The PIC-18F97J60 devices are available now at prices starting at USD4.24(10,000) in eight- 64-and 100-pin ROHS (reduction-of-hazardous-substances)-compliant TQFPs.
