BCM5754M

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

The BCM5754M is a Broadcom NetXtreme® fully integrated 10/100/1000BASE-T Gigabit Ethernet media access control and physical layer transceiver solution for high-performance network applications. The BCM5754M combines a triple-speed, IEEE 802.3™-compliant media access controller (MAC), a PCI Express bus interface, an on-chip buffer memory, and an integrated physical layer transceiver in a single device. It is fabricated in a low-voltage silicon process, providing an ultra-low power solution. By itself, the BCM5754M provides a complete single-chip Gigabit Ethernet NIC or LOM solution.

The BCM5754M 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 mobile LAN-on-Motherboard (LoM) or network interface card (NIC) applications
  • Integrated 10/100/1000BASE-T transceiver with 10/100/1000BASE-T triple-speed 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: PCI Express 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 GbE form factor enables easier motherboard design, innovative design reduces footprint to 67% smaller than competing solutions, 11 x 11 mm package, 100-pin fpBGA, 10 x10 mm package, 68-pin QFN, and Integrated WoL switching eliminates external power switching components
