BCM54610

10/100/1000BASE-T Gigabit Copper Transceiver with RGMII Interface

The BCM54610 is optimized for low power and small footprint size to enable uplink and general GbE connectivity applications. By lowering system cost and reducing power dissipation, the BCM54610 enables a new class of cost-effective GbE equipment, driving the delivery of Gigabit bandwidth to the desktop.

The BCM54610 digital signal processor-based architecture and advanced power management techniques combine to achieve robust and low power operation over the existing CAT-5 twisted-pair wiring. The BCM54610 architecture also meets the requirements of 802.3, 802.3u, and 802.3ab, but maintains the industry's highest level of margin over IEEE requirements for Echo, NEXT, and FEXT. Low power is a key factor in implementing Gigabit small form factor NICs and uplinks, and, at less than 500 mW per port, the BCM54610 has the industry's lowest power. Additionally, the BCM54610 has extremely low EMI emissions, which reduces the design constraints required to meet EMI emissions specifications.
