DP83820 10/100/1000 Mb/s PCI Ethernet Network Interface
Controller
— Virtual LAN (VLAN) and long frame support. VLAN tag
General Description
insertion support for transmit packets. VLAN tag
DP83820 is a single-chip 10/100/1000 Mb/s Ethernet
Controller for the PCI bus. It is targeted at high-
performance adapter cards and mother boards. The
DP83820 fully implements the V2.2 66 MHz, 64-bit PCI bus
interface for host communications with power management
support. Packet descriptors and data are transferred via
bus-mastering, reducing the burden on the host CPU. The
DP83820 can support full duplex 10/100/1000 Mb/s
transmission and reception.
detection and removal for receive packets
— 802.3x Full duplex flow control, including automatic
transmission of Pause frames based on Rx FIFO
thresholds
— IPv.4 checksum task off-loading. Supports checksum
generation and verification of IP, TCP, and UDP headers
— 802.1D and 802.1Q priority queueing support. Supports
multiple priority queues in both transmit and receive
directions.
— Extremely flexible Rx packet filtration including: single
address perfect filter with MSb masking, broadcast,
2,048 entry multicast/unicast hash table, deep packet
pattern matching for up to 4 unique patterns.
Features
— IEEE 802.3 Compliant, 66/33 Mhz, 64/32-bit PCI V2.2
MAC/BIU supports data rates from 1 Mb/s to 1000 Mb/s.
This allows support for traditional 10 Mb/s Ethernet, 100
Mb/s Fast Ethernet, as well as 1000 Mb/s Gigabit
Ethernet.
— Statistics gathered for support of RFC 1213 (MIB II),
RFC 1398 (Ether-like MIB), IEEE 802.3 LME, reducing
CPU overhead for management.
— Flexible, programmable Bus master - burst sizes of up to
256 dwords (1024 bytes)
— Internal 8 KB Transmit and 32 KB Receive data FIFOs
— Supports Jumbo packets
— BIU compliant with PC 97 and PC 98 Hardware Design
