BCM5764M - NetXtreme® Gigabit Ethernet Controller with ASF 2.0

NetXtreme® Gigabit Ethernet Controller with ASF 2.0

The BCM5764M is a eleventh-generation 10/100/1000-Mbit BASE-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 BCM5764M is fabricated in a 1.2V 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.

  • Integrated 10/100/1000BASE-T transceiver with triple-speed MAC, state-of-the-art physical layer interface that exceeds IEEE requirements, SMBus 2.0 controller, on-chip voltage regulation and Wake-on-LAN (WOL) power switching circuit
  • PCI Express® host interface with x1 PCIe™ v1.1, Active State Power Management (ASPM) capability and Message Signal Interrupt (MSI)
  • Single-chip device for LAN on Motherboard (LOM) and network interface card (NIC) applications
  • Proven technology built on ten generations of controller products
