The MX98L715BEC contains a PCI local bus glueless interface, a Direct Memory Access (DMA) buffer management unit, an IEEE802.3u-compliant Media Access Controller (MAC), large Transmit and Receive FIFOs, and an on-chip 10 Base-T and 100 Base-TX transceiver simplifying system design and improving high speed signal quality. Full-duplex operation are supported in both 10 Base-T and 100 Base-TX modes that increases the controller's operating bandwidth up to 200Mbps. Equipped with intelligent IEEE802.3u-compliant auto-negotiation, the MX98L715BEC-based adapter allows a single RJ-45 connector to link with the other IEEE802.3ucompliant device without re-configuration.
