This section contains a list of Microchip Ethernet standalone controllers and PIC-based Ethernet microcontrollers.

The PIC32MX6xx and PIC32MX7xx families of 32-bit MCUs have an integrated 10/100 Ethernet MAC with a dedicated DMA interface to the system RAM and RMII/MII interfaces to external PHYs for cost effective high-performance Ethernet applications. These families utilize system RAM, 64K to 128K, user configurable Ethernet buffers.

Microchip’s ENC624J600 offers low-cost stand-alone 10/100Base-T Ethernet interface controller with integrated hardware cryptographic security engines and preprogrammed Ethernet MAC address for each device. Microchip’s ENC624J600 enables designers to create secured network- and Internet-connected embedded applications with minimized board space, cost and complexity.

The ENC28J60 is a 28-pin, IEEE 802.3 compliant 10Base-T standalone Ethernet controller with on-board MAC and PHY, 8 Kbytes of buffer RAM and SPI interface. With a small package size including a 6mm x 6mm QFN, the ENC28J60 provides a low-pin count, cost-effective and easy-to-use for remote communication with embedded applications.

The PIC18F97J60 family integrates a 10 Base-T Ethernet MAC/PHY into the 8-bit PIC18F microcontroller, and allows for a more efficient single-chip solution. It ranges from the 64-pin PIC18F66J60 with 64KB Flash to the 100-pin PIC18F97J60 with 128KB Flash. All devices in the family have 4KB RAM and 8KB Ethernet buffer RAM.

The table below shows the entire list of recommended devices, including additional features or peripherals that are unique to each device.
