SR9900 Brief Datasheet
Ultra-Low Power Single-Chip USB 2.0 to 10/100M
Ethernet Controller
General Description
The Supereal SR9900 10/100M Ethernet controller combines an IEEE 802.3u compliant Media Access Controller
(MAC), USB bus controller, and embedded memory. A linear regulator (LDO) is incorporated for reduced BOM cost.
With state-of-the-art DSP technology and mixed-mode signal technology, the SR9900 offers high-speed transmission
over CAT 5 UTP cable or CAT 3 UTP (10Mbps only) cable. Functions such as Crossover Detection and Auto-
Correction, polarity correction, adaptive equalization, cross-talk cancellation, echo cancellation, timing recovery, and
error correction are implemented to provide robust transmission and reception capabilities. The SR9900 features
embedded One-Time-Programmable (OTP) memory.
Advanced Configuration Power management Interface (ACPI)—power management for modern operating systems
that are capable of Operating System-directed Power Management (OSPM)—is supported to achieve the most
efficient power management possible. In addition to the ACPI feature, remote wake-up (including AMD Magic Packet
and Microsoft Wake-Up Frame) is supported in both ACPI and APM (Advanced Power Management) environments.
The SR9900 supports Microsoft Wake Packet Detection (WPD) to provide Wake-Up Frame information to the OS,
e.g., PatternID, OriginalPacketSize, SavedPacketSize, SavedPacketOffset, etc. WPD helps prevent unwanted/
unauthorized wake-up of a sleeping computer.
The SR9900 is fully compliant with Microsoft NDIS5, NDIS6 (IPv4, IPv6, TCP, UDP) Checksum features, and
supports IEEE 802 IP Layer 2 priority encoding and IEEE 802.1Q Virtual bridged Local Area Network (VLAN). The
above features contribute to lowering CPU utilization, especially benefiting performance when in operation on a
network server.
The SR9900 supports Protocol offload. It offloads some of the most common protocols to NIC hardware in order to
prevent spurious wake-up and further reduce power consumption. The SR9900 can offload ARP (IPv4) and NS
(IPv6) protocols while in the D3 power saving state.
The SR9900 supports IEEE 802.3az-2010, also known as Energy Efficient Ethernet (EEE). IEEE 802.3az operates
with the IEEE 802.3 Media Access Control (MAC) Sublayer to support operation in Low Power Idle mode. When the
Ethernet network is in low link utilization, EEE allows systems on both sides of the link to save power.
The SR9900 also features USB 2.0 technology. It provides higher bandwidth and improved protocols for data
exchange between the host and the device. In addition, USB 2.0 offers a more aggressive power management
feature that enables selective suspend to save energy.
The SR9900 is suitable for multiple market segments and emerging applications, such as desktop, mobile,
workstation, server, communications platforms, docking station, and embedded applications.
