Wake on LAN Reference Design

Related Products

Reference Design LogoThe Wake on LAN (WoL) is a feature that allows a load/client on a network to be turned on by a message sent via the network. The idea behind WoL is that devices on the network will consume less power in stand-by mode and only wake up when required, thus making the system green or environmentally friendly. Having a separate network monitor that scans network packets to look for special data sequences is required under such conditions. This reference design implements the portion that scans network packets for a special data sequence and transmits an interrupt signal to the system controller.
