BCM5704 - 10/100/1000BASE-T Ethernet Controller with Integrated Transceiver

10/100/1000BASE-T Ethernet Controller with Integrated Transceiver

The BCM5704 is a fully integrated 64-bit 10/100/1000BASE-T Dual Port Gigabit Ethernet Media Access Control and Physical Layer Transceiver solution for high performance network applications.

The BCM5704 is a highly integrated solution combining triplespeed, IEEE 802.3 compliant Media Access Controller (MAC), PCI and PCI-X bus interfaces, on-chip buffer memory, and integrated physical layer transceiver in a single device. The BCM5704 is fabricated in a low-voltage, 0.13-um CMOS process providing a low-power system solution. By itself the BCM5704 provides a complete single-chip Dual Port Gigabit Ethernet NIC or LOM solution.

The BCM5704 includes a 10/100/1000-Mbps Ethernet MAC with full/half-duplex capability at all speeds, and 10/100/1000 copper PHY. Support for the following 802.3 functions is featured in the MAC: VLAN tagging, layer 2 priority encoding, link aggregation, and full-duplex flow control.

  • Single-chip solution for LAN on Motherboard (LOM) and Network Interface Card (NIC) applications
  • Industry's smallest Dual 10/100/1000 MAC+PHY solution - power and space optimized for LOM and low profile NIC applications
