BCM57781

Integrated Gigabit Ethernet Controller

The BCM57781 is a Broadcom NetLink® twelfth-generation 10/100/1000BASE-T Ethernet LAN controller solution for high-performance network applications. The device combines a triple-speed IEEE 802.3™-compliant media access controller (MAC) with a triple-speed Ethernet transceiver, x1 PCIe™ bus interface, and on-chip buffer memory in a single device. The BCM57781 is fabricated in a 65 nm CMOS process, providing a low-power system solution.

The device performs all the physical layer functions for 1000BASE-T, 100BASE-T, and 10BASE-T Ethernet on standard Category 5 UTP cable. Based on proven DSP technology, the device is a highly integrated solution combining digital adaptive equalizers, ADCs, PLLs, line drivers, echo cancellers, crosstalk cancellers, and all other required support circuitry. A full-featured MAC provides full-/half-duplex capability at all speeds.
