BCM5754 - 10/100/1000BASE-T Ethernet Controller with Integrated Transceiver

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

The BCM5754 is a Broadcom NetXtreme® fully integrated 10/100/1000BASE-T GbE MAC and physical layer transceiver solution for high-performance network applications. The BCM5754 combines a triple-speed, IEEE 802.3™-compliant MAC, PCIe bus interface, on-chip buffer memory, and integrated physical layer transceiver in a single device. It is fabricated in a low-voltage silicon process, providing an ultralow power solution. By itself, the BCM5754 provides a complete single-chip GbE NIC or LoM solution.

The BCM5754 includes a 10/100/1000 Mbps Ethernet MAC with full/half-duplex capability at all speeds. Support for the following IEEE 802.3 functions is featured in the MAC: VLAN tagging, Layer 2 priority encoding, and full-duplex flow control.

  • Single-chip device for desktop LAN-on-Motherboard (LoM) or network interface card (NIC) applications
  • Integrated 10/100/1000BASE-T transceiver with 10/100/1000BASE-T triple-speed media access control (MAC), high-speed RISC core with 32 KB cache, SMBus 2.0 controller, on-chip voltage regulation, and Wake-on-LAN power switching circuit
  • Wirespeed performance increases user performance: PCIe provides wirespeed non-blocking throughput, TCP/IP stack offloads significantly reduce utilization of CPU, and TCP/IP stack offloads significantly increase throughput to enable faster downloads of large files
  • Industry's smallest Gigabit Ethernet (GbE) form factor enables easier motherboard design, innovative design reduces footprint to 67% smaller than competing solutions, 11 mm x 11 mm package, 100-pin fpBGA, 10 mm x 10 mm package, 68-pin QFN, integrated Wake-on-LAN switching eliminates external power switching components
