tag for all tagged frames. The RTL8305SB-VD also supports a special insert VLAN tag function to
separate traffic from WAN and LAN sides in Router and Gateway applications.
Maximum packet length can be 1536 or 1552 bytes according to the initial configuration (strapping upon
reset). The filtering function is supported for the 802.1D specified reserved group MAC addresses (01-80-
C2-00-00-03 to 01-80-C2-00-00-0F).
The RTL8305SB-VD provides flexible LED functions for diagnostics, which include: 1) Four
combinations of link, activity, speed, duplex and collision which are designed for convenient LED
displays, such as:
• Bi-color LEDs
• Reset blinking
• Blinking time selection
The RTL8305SB-VD also provides a loop detection function and alarm, for network existence
notification, with an output pin which can be designed as a visual LED or a status input pin for a CPU.
The RTL8305SB-VD implements a power saving mode on a per-port basis. Each port automatically
enters power saving mode 10 seconds after the cable is disconnected from it. The RTL8305SB-VD also
implements a power down mode on a per-port basis. Users can set MII Reg.0.11 to force the
corresponding port to enter power down mode, which disables all transmit/receive functions, except SMI
(MDC/MDIO management interface).
Each physical layer channel of the RTL8305SB-VD consists of a 4B5B encoder/decoder, a Manchester
encoder/decoder, a scrambler/descrambler, a transmit output driver, output wave shaping filters, a digital
adaptive equalizer, a PLL circuit, and a DC restoration circuit for clock/data recovery. Friendly crossover
auto detection and correction functions are also supported for easy cable connection.
The integrated chip benefits from low power consumption, advanced functions with flexible configuration
for 5-port SOHO switch, Home Gateway, xDSL/Cable router, and other IA applications.
