The NetLink™ BCM5788(M) is a fully integrated 10/100/1000BASE-
T Gigabit Ethernet media access control and physical layer transceiver
(PHY) solution for client networking applications. The NetLink
BCM5788(M) combines a triple-speed, IEEE 802.3-compliant media
access controller (MAC), a PCI v2.2 bus interface, an on-chip buffer
memory, and an integrated PHY in a single device. The NetLink
BCM5788(M) is fabricated in a low-voltage 0.13µ CMOS process,
providing an ultra-low power solution.
The transceiver is fully compatible with the IEEE 802.3 standard for
auto-negotiation of speed.
