## Article

**DETAILSHYDRA™EtherX**

The **HYDRA™ Game Console** is based on a socketed 40-Pin dip version of the new **Parallax Multiprocessing Propeller Chip**.

The **HYDRA™ EtherX Card** completes the **HYDRA™** system expanding the capabilities of the HYDRA to connect to an Ethernet Networkvia the HYDRA expansion port. The guts of the EtherX card is the W5100 Ethernet chip from Wiznet. This chip contains a hardwired TCP/IP stack, which offloads a lot of the Internet protocol from the HYDRA.

**Features:**

- W5100 Ethernet chip.

- Line Speed Data transmission by hardwired logic Up to 25Mbps throughput at application layer.

- Support Hardwired TCP/IP Protocols TCP, UDP, ICMP, IPv4 ARP, IGMP, PPPoE, Ethernet.

- 10BaseT/100BaseTX Ethernet PHY embedded.

- Support Auto Negotiation (Full-duplex and half duplex).

- Support Auto MDI/MDIX.

- Support ADSL connection (with support PPPoE Protocol with PAP/CHAP Authentication mode).

- Supports 4 independent sockets simultaneously.

- Not support IP Fragmentation.

- Internal 16Kbytes Memory for Tx/Rx Buffers.

- 0.18 μm CMOS technology.

- 3.3V operation with 5V I/O signal tolerance.

- Small 80 Pin LQFP Package.

- Lead-Free Package.

- Support Serial Peripheral Interface (SPI MODE 0, 3) Multi-function LED outputs (TX, RX, Full/Half duplex, Collision, Link, Speed).

- Status LEDs.
