1.2.5.3 ENC28J60 Driver Library

The ENC28J60 External MAC and PHY is an external module connected through a Serial Peripheral Interface (SPI) to host microcontroller. This driver interfaces with the SPI driver to communicate with the external device to implement a complete Ethernet node in a system.

The following are some of the key features of this module:

• Supports 10 Mbps physical-to-physical layer Ethernet data transfer

  • Full-Duplex and Half-Duplex operation

  • Broadcast, Multicast and Unicast packets

• Hardware flow control for both Full and Half-Duplex mode

• Fully configurable interrupts

• Configurable receive packet filtering using:

  • 64-bit Hash Table

  • 64-byte Pattern Match

  • Magic Packet™ Filtering

• Supports Packet Payload Checksum calculation

• CRC Check

• Supports SPI interface
