1.1 General Description:
The AX88190A provides industrial standard NE2000 registers level compatable instruction set. Various drivers
are easy acquired, maintenance and usage with no pain and tears
The AX88190A Fast Ethernet Controller is a high performance and highly integrated PCMCIA bus Ethernet
Controller with embedded 8K*16 bit SRAM. The AX88190A contains a 16 bit PCMCIA interfaces to host CPU
and compliant with PC Card Standard – February 1995. The AX88190A implements both 10Mbps and
100Mbps Ethernet function based on IEEE802.3 / IEEE802.3u LAN standard. The AX88190A support
10Mbps/100Mbps media-independent interface (MII) and legacy pure 10Mbps SNI interface to simplify the
design. Using Serial Network Interface (SNI) transceiver, Home LAN PHY or 10BASE-2 BNC type media can be
supported. The AX88190A is built in interface to connect FAX/MODEM chipset with parallel bus interface.
The main difference between AX88190A and AX88190 are : 1) Replace memory I/F with SNI I/F. 2) Fix OE#
signal synchronous problem 3) Fix interrupt status can’t always clean up problem of AX88190. 4) Add 8 general
Purpose I/O ports. 5) Change MPD_SET (pin 74 -> pin 68) and PPD_SET (pin 76 -> pin 70) power on setup
pins location.
AX88190A use 128-pin LQFP low profile package, typical 25MHz operation, dual 5V and 3.3V CMOS process
with 5V I/O tolerance or pure 3.3V operation.

RD2,RD1,RD0 : Remote DMA Command
These three encoded bits control operation of the Remote DMA channel. RD2 could be set
to abort any Remote DMA command in process. RD2 is reset by AX88190A when a Remote
DMA has been completed. The Remote Byte Count should be cleared when a Remote DMA
has been aborted. The Remote Start Address are not restored to the starting address if the
Remote DMA is aborted.

Please refer to following circuit diagram that implement in AX88190 PWB and follow the following
four steps.
1. Remove AX88190 and replace with AX88190A
2. Remove 2 pieces of buffer memory(32k*8 SRAM). Because they are not necessary anymore.
3. Remove 74F86 and 74F74 TTL IC
4. Shorten the jumper shown as below circuit diagram lable “Jumper for future use”
