BCM5787M

Description

The BCM5787M is a fully integrated 10/100/1000BASE-T Gigabit Ethernet media access control and physical layer transceiver solution for high-performance network applications. The BCM5787M combines a triple-speed, IEEE 802.3 compliant media access controller (MAC), PCI Express bus interface, on-chip buffer memory, and integrated physical layer transceiver in a single device. It is fabricated in a low-voltage silicon process, providing an ultra-low power solution. By itself, the BCM5787M provides a complete single-chip Gigabit Ethernet NIC or LOM solution.

The BCM5787M includes a 10/100/1000-Mbps Ethernet MAC with full/half-duplex capability at all speeds. BCM5787M support for the following 802.3 functions is featured in the MAC: VLAN tagging, layer 2 priority encoding, and full-duplex flow control. The transceiver is fully compatible with the IEEE 802.3 standard for auto-negotiation of speed. Additionally, several plug-and-play enhancements are included to make the device even more user-friendly.
