ADMtek, headquartered in Taiwan, was founded in 1997 to develop networking ICs. The company is a subsidiary of Accton and has a combined total of about 60 employees at their research centers in San Jose and Irvine, CA and Hsinchu, Taiwan.

ADMTek develops NIC controllers, transceiver ICs, hub ICs, and switch ICs. The company offers a single-chip 10/100 Ethernet controller for PCI/Mini-PCI/CardBus, a USB 10/100Mbps/ HomePNA MAC chip, and the Phoenix family of 10/100Mbps 5- and 8-port Ethernet switching controllers.

ADMtek’s Pegasus USB 10/100Mbps/HomePNA (1Mbps) MAC chip provides a MII interface for an external 10/100Mbps PHY and a 1M8 interface for an external 1Mbps HomePNA PHY. It is fabricated in a 0.35u process. Samples now.

The Centaur P/C is a single-chip 10/100 Ethernet controller for PCI/Mini-PCI/CardBus. The Centaur is a PCI/Mini-PCI/CardBus Fast Ethernet controller with an integrated PHY for 10BASE-T and 100BASE-TX applications. It also has an MII interface for an external 1Mbps HomePNA PHY. Samples now.

The AL965 series of the Phoenix family are 10/100Mbps 5-port MII or Reduced MII Ethernet switching controllers. Maximum bandwidth is 1Gb to 1.6Gb. The chips have full line speed capability of 14,880 packets/s for 10Mb and 148,810 packet/s for 100M. It has bridging functions, such as local MAC address filtering, CRC, or direct mapping hashing schemes, for better address coverage. It has a short routing decision time, configurable aging time, and embedded 1K entry address tables. In prod. now.
