BCM5424 PRODUCT Brief ® QUAD-PORT GIGABIT COPPER TRANSCEIVER WITH RGMII AND RTBI INTERFACE B C M 5 4 2 4 S U M M A R Y F E AT U R E S O F B E N E F I T S Four fully integrated 10BASE-T/100BASE-TX/ • 1000BASE-T Gigabit Ethernet transceivers RGMII and RTBI interface options • Fully compliant with IEEE 802.3, 802.3u, and 802.3ab • standards • 0.13 um CMOS — low power and cost • Low power Low power quad-port integration enables single-row, • high port density switches. • Low EMI emissions logic automatically selects the • Ethernet@WireSpeed maximum speed based on channel conditions • Cable plant diagnostic • Requires no airflow or heatsink. Reduces design constraints in high-density • applications that have higher EMI emissions. Automatically the link to support the • highest possibleconfigures speed based on link partner capability • 1W per port • Advanced power management TM • Cable plant analyzer function detects cable plant impairments • Link quality indication LED • Automatic detection and correction of wiring pair swaps, pair skew, and pair polarity Automatic MDI/MDIX crossover at all speeds • • Robust CESD tolerance • Support for jumbo packets up to 9 KB • IEEE 1149.1 (JTAG) boundary scan • Lowers system costs by eliminating PCB layers required for routing high density solutions • Clock timing can be adjusted to eliminate board trace delays required by the RGMII specification. • Lowers MAC/switch costs by reducing the number of pins required to interface to the PHY. Provides compatibility with IEEE standard devices • operating at 10, 100, and 1000 Mbps at half- and fullduplex. and characteristics of the channel. Cable diagnostic function characterizes cable plant • condition and immediately indicates cabling issues. • Prevents erroneous equipment return due to bad cable plants. • Prevents manufacturing fall-out due to bad cable plants. High CESD tolerance prevents equipment damage and • return. Supports jumbo packets for wider range of packet • protocol compatibility. Ease of manufacturing with JTAG support, simplified • power supply, and multiple MAC interfaces.
