AMD is a leading supplier of end-to-end Ethernet, Fast Ethernet, and Home Networking IC devices for adapters, and other network infrastructure equipment. AMD was the first to offer a complete Ethernet chip set, the first to offer a single-chip controller, and the first to offer Ethernet controllers with AMD’s patented Magic Packet™ technology for remote PC wake-up and power-on. With Magic Packet technology, AMD pioneered power management for PC LAN’s. Building on this foundation, AMD has co-authored the OnNow power management specification for networking devices, furthering our leadership position in this industry initiative.

AMD offers a complete suite of software drivers and utilities as well as FCC approved licensable turnkey-designs to support the PCnet family of Ethernet controllers. In addition, the NetPHY family of physical layer solutions offers options for low power and small package.
