Functional Block Diagram
The BCM57781 is a Broadcom® NetLink® twelfth-generation 10/100/
1000BASE-T Ethernet LAN controller solution for high-performance
network applications. The device combines a triple-speed IEEE 802.3™compliant media access controller (MAC) with a triple-speed Ethernet
transceiver, x1 PCIe bus interface, and on-chip buffer memory in a single
device. The BCM57781 is fabricated in a 65 nm CMOS process,
providing a low-power system solution.
The device performs all the physical layer functions for 1000BASE-T,
100BASE-T, and 10BASE-T Ethernet on standard Category 5 UTP
cable. Based on proven DSP technology, the device is a highly integrated
solution combining digital adaptive equalizers, ADCs, PLLs, line
drivers, echo cancellers, crosstalk cancellers, and all other required
support circuitry. A full-featured MAC provides full-/half-duplex
capability at all speeds.
The on-chip high-performance processor enables custom frame
processing features. For a lower total solution cost and lower-power
system-level power consumption, the BCM57781 integrates on-chip
switching regulators and nonvolatile memory that eliminates the need for
external NVRAM device. The BCM57781 is truly a single-chip solution
for a Gigabit-Ethernet LOM.
Target applications:
• Desktop and mobile PC LOM
Software drivers available:
• Windows® 2000, XP, Vista®, and 7
• Linux® 2.4, and 2.6
