10/100/1000BASE-T GIGABIT COPPER TRANSCEIVER WITH SERDES
S U M M A R Y O F B E N E F I T S
F E A T U R E S
Fully integrated 10BASE-T/100BASE-TX/1000BASE-T
Gigabit Ethernet transceiver with SerDes
Provides triple-speed operation for compatibility with legacy
networks.
•
•
•
•
MII, GMII, TBI, RGMII, RTBI, SGMII, and MAC SerDes
interface options
Simplifies system and board design.
•
RGMII/RTBI reduces I/O pin requirement over GMII and TBI
by more than 50%.
Line-side copper and fiber interface options
On-chip low voltage regulators
•
•
•
•
•
SGMII further reduces the interface to six pins, while the serial
MAC SerDes interface requires only four pins.
Fully compliant with IEEE 802.3, 802.3u, and 802.3ab
standards
Lowers system cost and reduces solution footprint.
•
•
Provides interoperability with IEEE standard device
operation at 10, 100 and 1000 Mbps at half- and full-duplex.
0.13-µm CMOS — low power and cost
Low power

•
Requires no airflow or heatsink.
•
•
•
•
•
•
1W per port
Wake on LAN support
Advanced power management
Provides compliance with PCI 2.2 and PC99/PC2000.
Reduces system design constraints to meet EMI emissions
standards.
Low EMI emissions
•
•
Automatically configures the link to support the highest
possible speed based on link partner capability and
characteristics of the channel.
•
•
Ethernet@WireSpeed™ logic automatically selects the
maximum speed based on channel conditions
Cable plant diagnostic
•
Cable diagnostic function characterizes cable plant condition
and immediately indicates cabling issues.
•
•
•
Cable plant analyzer function detects cable plant impairments
Link quality indication LED
Automatic detection and correction of wiring pair swaps,
pairskew, and pair polarity
•
•
Prevents erroneous equipment return due to bad cable plants.
Prevents manufacturing fall-out due to bad cable plants.
High CESD tolerance prevents equipment damage and return.
•
•
•
Automatic MDI/MDIX crossover at all speeds
