Introduction
The Intel® 82546EB Dual Port Gigabit Ethernet Controller is a single, compact component with
two full integrated Gigabit Ethernet Media Access Control (MAC) and physical layer (PHY)
functions. The Intel® 82546EB enables dual port Gigabit Ethernet implementations in a very small
area and can be used for desktop and workstation PC network designs with critical space
constraints.
The Intel® 82546EB integrates Intel’s fourth generation gigabit MAC and PHY to provide a
standard IEEE 802.3 Ethernet interface for 1000BASE-T, 100BASE-TX, and 10BASE-T
applications (802.3, 802.3u, and 802.3ab). The controller is capable of transmitting and receiving
two channels of data at rates of 1000 Mbps, 100 Mbps, or 10 Mbps. In addition, it provides a 64-bit
wide direct Peripheral Component Interconnect (PCI) 2.2 and PCI-X 1.0a compliant interface
capable of operating at frequencies up to 133 MHz. The 82546EB also delivers a dual port PCI-X
solution without added bridge latency.
The Intel® 82546EB on-board System Management Bus (SMB) port enables network
manageability implementations required by information technology personnel for remote control
and alerting through the LAN. Using the SMB, management packets can be routed to or from a
management processor. The SMB port enables industry standards, such as Intelligent Platform
Management Interface (IPMI) and Alert Standard Format (ASF), to be implemented using the
82546EB. In addition, on chip ASF 1.0 circuitry provides alerting and remote control capabilities
with standardized interfaces.
The 82546EB Dual Port Gigabit Ethernet Controller architecture is designed to deliver high
performance and PCI/PCI-X bus efficiency. Wide internal data paths eliminate performance
bottlenecks by efficiently handling large address and data words. Combining a parallel and pipelined logic architecture optimized for Gigabit Ethernet and independent transmit and receive
queues, the 82546EB controller efficiently handles packets with minimum latency. The 82546EB
controller includes advanced interrupt handling features to limit PCI bus traffic and a PCI interface
that maximizes the use of bursts for efficient bus usage. The 82546EB is able to cache up to 64
packet descriptors in a single burst for efficient PCI bandwidth use. A large 64 Kbyte on-chip
packet buffer maintains superior performance as available PCI bandwidth changes. By using
hardware acceleration, the controller is able to offload tasks, such as checksum calculations and
TCP segmentation, from the host processor.

Signal Descriptions
Note:
3.1
The targeted signal names are subject to change without notice. Verify with your local Intel sales
office that you have the latest information before finalizing a design.
Signal Type Definitions
The signals of the 82546EB controller are electrically defined as follows:
Name
Definition
I
Input. Standard input only digital signal.
O
Output. Standard output only digital signal.
TS
Tri-state. Bi-directional three-state digital input/output signal.
Sustained Tri-state. Sustained digital three-state signal driven by one agent at a time.
STS
An agent driving the STS pin low must actively drive it high for at least one clock before letting it
float. The next agent of the signal cannot drive the pin earlier than one clock after it has been
released by the previous agent.
Open Drain. Wired-OR with other agents.
3.2
OD
The signaling agent asserts the OD signal, but the signal is returned to the inactive state by a
weak pull-up resistor. The pull-up resistor may require two or three clock periods to fully restore
the signal to the de-asserted state.
A
Analog. PHY analog data signal.
P
Power. Power connection, voltage reference, or other reference connection.
R
Reserved.
PCI Bus Interface
When the Reset signal (RST#) is asserted, the 82546EB will not drive any PCI output or bidirectional pins except the Power Management Event signal (PME#).
3.2.1
PCI Address, Data and Control Signals
Symbol
Type
Name and Function
Address and Data. Address and data signals are multiplexed on the same PCI pins. A
bus transaction includes an address phase followed by one or more data phases.
AD[63:0]
TS
The address phase is the clock cycle when the Frame signal (FRAME#) is asserted
low. During the address phase AD[63:0] contain a physical address (64 bits). For I/O,
this is a byte address, and for configuration and memory, a DWORD address. The
82546EB device uses little endian byte ordering.
During data phases, AD[7:0] contain the least significant byte (LSB) and AD[63:56]
contain the most significant byte (MSB).
The 82546EBcontroller may optionally be connected to a 32-bit PCI bus. On the 32-bit
bus, AD[63:32] and other signals corresponding to the high order byte lanes do not
participate in the bus cycle.
8
Datasheet
Networking Silicon — 82546EB
Symbol
CBE[7:0]#
Type
TS
Name and Function
Bus Command and Byte Enables. Bus command and byte enable signals are
multiplexed on the same PCI pins. During the address phase of a transaction,
CBE[7:0]# define the bus command. In the data phase, CBE[7:0]# are used as byte
enables. The byte enables are valid for the entire data phase and determine which byte
lanes contain meaningful data.
CBE0# applies to byte 0 (LSB) and CBE7# applies to byte 7 (MSB).
PAR
TS
Parity. The Parity signal is issued to implement even parity across AD[31:0] and
CBE[3:0]#. PAR is stable and valid one clock after the address phase. During data
phases, PAR is stable and valid one clock after either IRDY# is asserted on a write
transaction or TRDY# is asserted after a read transaction. Once PAR is valid, it remains
valid until one clock after the completion of the current data phase.
When the 82546EB controller is a bus master, it drives PAR for address and write data
phases, and as a slave device, drives PAR for read data phases.
PAR64
TS
Parity 64. The Parity 64 signal is issued to implement even parity across AD[63:32] and
CBE[7:4]#. PAR64 is stable and valid one clock after the address phase. During data
phases, PAR64 is stable and valid one clock after either IRDY# is asserted on a write
transaction or TRDY# is asserted after a read transaction. Once PAR64 is valid, it
remains valid until one clock after the completion of the current data phase.
When the 82546EB controller is a bus master, it drives PAR64 for address and write
data phases, and as a slave device, drives PAR64 for read data phases.
FRAME#
IRDY#
Datasheet
STS
STS
Cycle Frame. The Frame signal is driven by the 82546EB device to indicate the
beginning and length of an access and indicate the beginning of a bus transaction.
While FRAME# is asserted, data transfers continue. FRAME# is de-asserted when the
transaction is in the final data phase.
Initiator Ready. Initiator Ready indicates the ability of the 82546EB controller (as bus
master device) to complete the current data phase of the transaction. IRDY# is used in
conjunction with the Target Ready signal (TRDY#). The data phase is completed on any
clock when both IRDY# and TRDY# are asserted.
During the write cycle, IRDY# indicates that valid data is present on AD[63:0]. For a
read cycle, it indicates the master is ready to accept data. Wait cycles are inserted until
both IRDY# and TRDY# are asserted together. The 82546EB controller drives IRDY#
when acting as a master and samples it when acting as a slave.
Target Ready. The Target Ready signal indicates the ability of the 82546EB controller
(as a selected device) to complete the current data phase of the transaction. TRDY# is
used in conjunction with the Initiator Ready signal (IRDY#). A data phase is completed
on any clock when both TRDY# and IRDY# are sampled asserted.
TRDY#
STS
STOP#
STS
Stop. The Stop signal indicates the current target is requesting the master to stop the
current transaction. As a slave, the 82546EB controller drives STOP# to request the
bus master to stop the transaction. As a master, the 82546EB controller receives
STOP# from the slave to stop the current transaction.
IDSEL#
I
Initialization Device Select. The Initialization Device Select signal is used by the
82546EB as a chip select signal during configuration read and write transactions.
DEVSEL#
STS
Device Select. When the Device Select signal is actively driven by the 82546EB, it
signals notifies the bus master that it has decoded its address as the target of the
current access. As an input, DEVSEL# indicates whether any device on the bus has
been selected.
VIO
P
During a read cycle, TRDY# indicates that valid data is present on AD[63:0]. For a write
cycle, it indicates the target is ready to accept data. Wait cycles are inserted until both
IRDY# and TRDY# are asserted together. The 82546EB device drives TRDY# when
acting as a slave and samples it when acting as a master.
VIO. The VIO signal is a voltage reference for the PCI interface (3.3 V or 5 V PCI
signaling environment). It is used as the clamping voltage.
Note: An external resistor is required between the voltage reference and the VIO pin.
The target resistor value is 100 KΩ

3.2.2
Arbitration Signals
Symbol
3.2.3
Name and Function
REQ64#
TS
Request Transfer. The Request Transfer signal is generated by the current initiator
indicating its desire to perform a 64-bit transfer. REQ64# has the same timing as the
Frame signal.
ACK64#
TS
Acknowledge Transfer. The Acknowledge Transfer signal is generated by the currently
addressed target in response to the REQ64# assertion by the initiator. ACK64# has the
same timing as the Device Select signal.
REQ#
TS
Request Bus. The Request Bus signal is used to request control of the bus from the
arbiter. This signal is point-to-point.
GNT#
I
Grant Bus. The Grant Bus signal notifies the 82546EB that bus access has been
granted. This is a point-to-point signal.
LOCK#
I
Lock Bus. The Lock Bus signal is asserted by an initiator to require sole access to a
target memory device during two or more separate transfers. The 82546EB device
does not implement bus locking.
Interrupt Signals
Symbol
3.2.4
Type
Type
Name and Function
INTA#
TS
Interrupt A. Interrupt A is used to request an interrupt by port 1 of the. It is an active

RST#
I
PCI Clock signal provides timing for all transactions on the PCI bus and
is an input to the 82546EB device. All other PCI signals, except the Interrupt A
(INTA#) and PCI Reset signal (RST#), are sampled on the rising edge of CLK. All other
timing parameters are defined with respect to this edge.
66 MHz Enable. The 66 MHz Enable signal is used to indicate whether or not the
system bus is capable of supporting an operating frequency of 66 MHz.
PCI Reset. When the PCI Reset signal is asserted, all PCI output signals, except the
Power Management Event signal (PME#), are floated and all input signals are ignored.
The PME# context is preserved, depending on power management settings.
Most of the internal state of the 82546EB is reset on the de-assertion (rising edge) of
RST#.

a. Sustained operation of the device at conditions exceeding these values, even if they are within the absolute maximum rating
limits, might result in permanent damage.
b. It is recommended for VDDO to equal AVDDH (VDDO = AVDDH) during power-up and normal operation.
c. It is recommended for both VDDO and AVDDH to be of a value greater than AVDDL, with a value greater than DVDD, during
power-up (VDDO or AVDDH > AVDDL > DVDD). However, voltage sequencing is not a strict requirement if the power supply
ramp must be faster than approximately 200 ms.

a. Rise and fall times are specified in terms of the edge rate measured in V/ns. This slew rate must be met across the minimum
peak-to-peak portion of the clock waveform as shown.
b. The minimum RST# slew rate applies only to the rising (de-assertion) edge of the reset signal and ensures that system noise
cannot render a monotonic signal to appear bouncing in the switching range.

Thermal Specifications
The 82546EB device is specified for operation when the ambient temperature (TA) is within the
range of 0 C to 55 C. The maximum permitted junction temperature is 120 C.
TC (case temperature) is calculated using the equation:
TC = TA + P (qJA - q JC)
TJ (junction temperature) is calculated using the equation:
TJ = TA + P qJA
The power consumption (P) is calculated by using the typical ICC and nominal VCC. The thermal
resistances are shown in Table 21.

Thermal resistances are determined empirically with test devices mounted on standard thermal test
boards. Real system designs may have different characteristics due to board thickness, arrangement
of ground planes, and proximity of other components. The case temperature measurements should
be used to assure that the 82546EB device is operating under recommended conditions.
