BCM5714C

PCI Express®-to-PCI-X® I/O Bridge with Integrated Dual Gigabit Ethernet Ports

The BCM5714C device is a highly integrated communication and storage bridge for entry-level servers and embedded applications. The primary applications of the BCM5714C are UP and DP servers featuring PCI Express® connectivity for I/O expansion.

The BCM5714C provides these key features:
-Dual gigabit NIC ports (MAC and PHY)
-One full 64-bit/133 MHz PCI-X 1.0 bus
-Host interface of PCI Express

The BCM5714C connects to server chip sets with an x4 PCI Express interface and provides an independent PCI-X® 1.0 bus for peripheral connectivity. The x4 PCI Express interface is a flexible design and supports x1 and x2 PCI Express connectivity as well. The PCI-X bus is 64 bits wide and runs at 133 MHz.
