The BCM5421S is optimized for low power and small footprint size to enable GBIC, copper, and fiber applications. By lowering system cost and reducing power dissipation by nearly 50%, the BCM5421S enables a new class of cost-effective Gigabit Ethernet equipment. This device represents the fourth generation of Gigabit Ethernet transceivers based on the same field-proven architecture as in the BCM5400, BCM5401, BCM5411, and BCM5402 transceivers. The fourth generation Gigabit PHY core has already been deployed in the BCM5404, a quad port 10/100/1000BASE-T device of which the BCM5421S is a single port slice. The BCM5421S’s Digital Signal Processor based architecture and advanced power management techniques combine to achieve robust and low power operation over the existing CAT 5 twisted pair wiring. The BCM5421S architecture not only meets the requirements of 802.3, 802.3u, and 802.3ab, but maintains the industry’s highest level of margin over IEEE requirements for Echo, NEXT, and FEXT. Low power is a key factor in implementing Gigabit small form factor GBICs and uplinks and, at 1W per port, the BCM5421S dissipates nearly half the power of previous Gigabit PHY transceivers. In addition, the BCM5421S has extremely low EMI emissions, which reduces the design constraints required to meet EMI emissions specifications. The BCM5421S incorporates a number of advanced features. A link quality indicator LED gives installers an instant visual indication if there are any problems with the wiring plant supporting operation at the desired speed. This includes physical wiring defects that the BCM5421S cannot automatically correct for and channel conditions such as excessive cable length, and return loss, crosstalk, echo, and noise. Broadcom’s cable analyzer software can be used with the device to provide remote management of the cable and a first level of diagnostics and fault isolation. The BCM5421S is fully compatible with the IEEE 802.3 standard for auto-negotiation of speed, but additionally supports Ethernet@WireSpeed™. Ethernet@WireSpeed allows the BCM5421S to force auto-negotiation to automatically establish link at speeds that the channel can reliably support, preventing failure to link due to standard IEEE auto-negotiation. In addition to supporting IEEE 802.3 Standard Gigabit Media Independent Interface (GMII), and industry standard Ten Bit Interface (TBI), the BCM5421S also supports the RGMII and RTBI, serial SerDes, and SGMII interfaces. The serial SerDes and SGMII are reduced pin-count (4 and 6 respectively, versus 25) Switch/MAC interfaces. In addition, the serial SerDes interface can be used to route from SerDes to copper as in GBIC applications. RGMII is a reduced pin-count (12 versus 25) version of the GMII and RTBI is a reduced pin-count version of TBI, utilizing standard ASIC technology. The high-density package, multiple MAC interfaces, and streamlined power supply lowers system cost and simplifies the system and board level design. The BCM5421S also has ESD tolerance well above typical industry standards. This prevents ESD damage not only during manufacturing but during CESD events in the field. Cable-sourced electrostatic discharge (CESD) is an ESD event that occurs when an electrically charged network cable is plugged into a network port, an issue becoming more prevalent with recent cable installations.
