I am trying to find a suitable microcontroller for a hobby-project.

For my project I need an Ethernet-connector, one ADC and one DAC.
Are there any microcontrollers availabel wich have these three features?
I have found a couple with Ethernet and ADC but not with a DAC...

Have anybody got a any good suggestions for such a microcontroller?

Why do you explicitly need ethernet ..?
ADC/DAC below 10 kHz is avail on many MCUs these days afaik.

What communications range do you need?, speed?, accurency?, reliability?


SPI-Ethernet:

AVR/ATtiny15
A/D, PWM

Use PWM to make D/A with delta sigma?


(I would welcome other ppls opinion on these choices..)
