Microchip Ethernet controllers

[Philip]

For anyone interested in the Microchip ENC28J60 standalone ethernet controller and the new PIC micros that will have built in ethernet capability.

here is another PPT document with and overview of the standalone and the micros with ethernet. I have the data sheet for the standalone but it is too big to post, sorry :-(.

Has anyone been able to acquire Microchip's new ENC28J60 Ethernet Controller? There have been many press releases over the last few months and Microcontroller.com states:

"Limited sampling for the ENC28J60 Ethernet controller is available now, and volume production is expected in May. Options include 28-pin SPDIP, SOIC, SSOP and QFN packages. For additional information, contact any Microchip sales representative or authorized worldwide distributor, or visit Microchip’s Web site."

It doesn't seem that we can order or sample these online yet. Still working out the bugs...?

At this time it's still listed as a future product.

When it appears at www.buymicrochip.com then it's available.

I am checking the status of the ENC28J60 Ethernet Controller. What is on their website is not always current. If I find out more I will post here.

Current status (not withstanding Microchip changing their mind or having errata) the device is sampling mid july and full production end of july. This from my Microchip rep.

Cheers,
