® Marvell Alaska 88E1116R Single-Port Gigabit Ethernet Transceiver with Integrated Passives PRODUCT OVERVIEW The Marvell® Alaska® 88E1116R is a physical layer device containing a single Gigabit Ethernet (GbE) transceiver, and is the smallest single-port GbE PHY with integrated passives. The transceiver implements the Ethernet physical layer portion of the 1000BASE-T, 100BASE-TX, and 10BASE-T standards. Manufactured using a standard digital CMOS process, the 88E1116R contains all active circuitry required to implement the physical layer functions to transmit and receive data on standard CAT 5 unshielded twisted-pair cable. The Alaska 88E1116R supports the Reduced Gigabit Media Independent Interface (RGMII) for direct connection to a Media Access Controller (MAC)/switch port. In addition, the 88E1116R uses advanced mixed-signal processing to perform equalization, echo and crosstalk cancellation, data recovery, and error correction at a gigabit-per-second data rate. The device achieves robust performance in noisy environments with very low power dissipation. The 88E1116R incorporates the Marvell Virtual Cable Tester® (VCT ™) feature, which uses Time Domain Reflectometry (TDR) for the remote identification of potential cable malfunctions, thus reducing equipment returns and service calls. With VCT the 88E1116R detects and reports potential cabling issues such as pair swaps, pair polarity, and excessive pair skew. The device also detects cable opens, shorts, or any impedance mismatch in the cable, and can accurately report within one meter the distance to the fault. The 88E1116R device integrates MDI interface termination resistors into the PHY. This resistor integration facilitates board layout and reduces board cost by eliminating the need for twelve external passive components. The new Marvell calibrated resistor scheme will achieve and exceed the accuracy requirements of the IEEE 802.3 return loss specifications. The 88E1116R features two regulators to generate all required voltages, and can run off a single 1.8V, 2.5V, or 3.3V supply. Alternatively if the regulators are not used then the 88E1116R can run off a 1.8V and 1.2V supply.
