It features an integrated voltage regulator, and can be supplied by either a 2.5V or 3.3V power source. In addition, the BCM5221 has several intelligent power-down states that conserve power, yet allow products based on it to automatically turn on when needed. The BCM5221 includes a unique Intelligent Power-Management feature that powers down the device if energy is not detected on the cable. This feature is especially useful for portable and power-sensitive applications such as laptop LAN card adapters. The BCM5221 allows PCMCIA or CardBus adapters to remain plugged in and draw virtually no energy even if the client is no longer connected to the network. Because most laptop users do not remove their LAN PC card when working remotely, this feature results in a noticeably extended battery life for laptop computer users. The BCM5221 can be set to periodically wake up at a user-defined interval, allowing the product to initiate keep-alive traffic on the network. For lowest power consumption, the BCM5221 can be put in a power-off state (<2.5 mW). Network Tolerance The BCM5221 includes features that simplify the installation and maintenance of local area networks. One such feature is the HP AutoMDIX capability, which automatically detects and corrects crossed cables. With HP Auto-MDIX, the installer does not need to know what is on the other end of the network cable: the BCM5221 automatically switches its transmit and receive circuitry to accommodate the link partner’s polarity. CESD is a recently discovered phenomenon that occurs when an electrically charged network cable is plugged into a networked product, an issue becoming more prevalent with recent cable installations. The BCM5221 has been designed and tested to withstand over 5 KV of CESD which, unlike other transceivers, prevents the device from being destroyed in a CESD event. DSP-Based PHY Technology The BCM5221 builds on Broadcom's proven DSP PHY design and full custom circuit design techniques to create a highly integrated and robust physical layer solution. DSP techniques allow the BCM5221 to achieve high interoperability and to exhibit robust performance across voltage (±10%), temperature (–40 to 85°C), and process variations. Broadcom's DSP-based, Digi- Φ™ technology has been proven in the shipment of over a billion Fast Ethernet ports. Broadcom's superior quality has resulted in a failure rate well under 10 PPM. Applications Applications for the BCM5221 that take advantage of its low power and high network tolerance: • Servers - Network Controller - Sideband • Interface (NC-SI) using RMII interface • Digital TV • • PCMCIA/CardBus Cards • • LAN on Motherboard (LOM) • • IP Phones • Cable Modems Set-Top Boxes Print Servers Wireless Access Points Embedded Telecom Broadcom®, the pulse logo, Connecting everything®, the Connecting everything logo, Signi-PHY™, and Digi- Φ™ are among the trademarks of Broadcom Corporation and/or its affiliates in the United States, certain other countries and/or the EU.
