Microchip's LAN9730 was specifically designed to provide a high-performance, low-cost USB to 10/100 Ethernet connectivity solution with a Hi-Speed Inter-Chip (HSIC) interface. Taking advantage of the broad availability of existing USB drivers and software, Microchip's proprietary HSIC technology incorporates a 2-pin digital bus that enables the use of USB as a low-power, chip-to-chip interconnect at speeds up to 480 Mbps. The internal device controller is USB 2.0-compliant and the HSIC interface is HSIC USB
