Realtek RTL8153EH

RTL8153EH General Description

General DescriptionThe Realtek RTL8153-CG 10/100/1000M Ethernet controller combines an IEEE 802.3u compliant Media Access Controller (MAC), USB 3.0 bus controller, and embedded memory. With state-of-the-art DSP technology and mixed-mode signal technology, the RTL8153 offers high-speed transmission over CAT 5 UTP cable or CAT 3 UTP (10Mbps only) cable. Functions such as Crossover Detection and Auto-Correction, polarity correction, adaptive equalization, cross-talk cancellation, echo cancellation, timing recovery, and error correction are implemented to provide robust transmission and reception capabilities. The RTL8153 features embedded One-Time-Programmable (OTP) memory that can replace the external EEPROM (93C46/93C56/93C66/TWSI)FeaturesHardware■ Integrated 10/100/1000M transceiver■ Auto-Negotiation with Next Page capability■ Supports USB 3.0, 2.0, and 1.1■ Supports CDC-ECM■ Supports LPM (Link Power Management)■ Supports pair swap/polarity/skew correction■ Crossover Detection & Auto-Correction■ Supports Wake-On-LAN and ‘RealWoW!’ (Wake-On-WAN) Technology (see note 1)■ Supports ECMA-393 ECMA ProxZzzy Standard for sleeping hosts (see note 1)■ XTAL-Less Wake-On-LAN■ Supports power down/link down power saving■ Transmit/Receive on-chip buffer support■ EEPROM Interface■ Embedded OTP memory can replace external EEPROM■ Built-in switching regulator and LDO regulator■ Supports Customizable LEDs■ Supports hardware CRC (Cyclic Redundancy Check) function■ LAN disable with GPIO pin■ Supports 25MHz or 48MHz external clock (from oscillator or system clock source)■ SPI Flash Interface■ 48-pin QFN ‘Green’ packageSoftware Offload■ Microsoft NDIS5, NDIS6 Checksum Offload (IPv4, IPv6, TCP, UDP) and Segmentation Task-offload (Large send v1 and Large send v2) support■ Supports jumbo frame to 9K bytesIEEE■ Supports Full Duplex flow control (IEEE 802.3x)■ Fully compliant with IEEE 802.3 and IEEE 802.3u■ Supports IEEE 802.1P Layer 2 Priority Encoding■ Supports IEEE 802.1Q VLAN tagging■ Supports IEEE 802.3az-2010 (EEE)Microsoft AOAC (Always On Always Connected)■ Supports 16-set 128-byte Wake-Up Frame pattern exact matching■ Supports link change wake up■ Supports Microsoft WPD (Wake Packet Detection)■ Supports Protocol Offload (ARP & NS)Intel CPPM (Converged Platform Power Management)■ Supports L1 with 3ms BESL (USB 2.0)■ Dynamic LTM messaging (USB 3.0)■ Supports U1/U2 (USB 3.0)■ Supports selective suspendSystem Applications■ USB 10/100/1000M Ethernet on Motherboard, Dongle, Notebook, Docking station, or Embedded system
