intel 82545GM gigabit ethernet controller high-performance gigabit connectivity intel in communications product brief product overview the intelligent way to connect footprint compatibility allows for flexible designs reduced power usage and heat generation for lower system costs and higher density enhanced manageability and system health monitoring with asf 1.0 and smbus 2.0 the intel ? 82545GM gigabit ethernet controller incorporates integrated gigabit ethernet mac and phy layer functions and serializer/deserializer (serdes) in a single, compact component. packaged in a 21x21mm tfbga, the intel 82545GM gigabit ethernet controller is physically and electrically compatible with the intel ? 82546gb dual port gigabit ethernet controller, allowing for a flexible, single-port or dual-port, multipurpose design. the intel 82545GM integrates intel?s fourth- generation gigabit mac design with fully integrated, physical-layer circuitry to provide a standard ieee 802.3 ethernet interface for 1000base-t, 100base-tx, and 10base-t applications (802.3, 802.3u, 802.3ab). for ethernet on the backplane and fiber-optic applications, the intel 82545GM?s integrated serdes supports 1000base-x (802.3z). in addition, the controller provides a direct peripheral component interconnect (pci) 2.3 and pci-x 1.0a compliant bus at clock frequencies up to 133mhz. the intel 82545GM on-board smbus port enables enhanced manageability and system health monitoring via the lan: management packets can be routed to or from a management processor. the smbus port enables implementation of industry standards such as ipmi (intelligent platform management interface). in addition, asf 1.0 (alert standard format) circuitry provides alerting and remote-control capabilities with standardized interfaces. the intel 82545GM gigabit ethernet controller architecture is optimized to deliver both high- performance networking and pci/pci-x bus efficiency. using state-logic design with a pipelined dma unit and 128-bit-wide buses for the fastest performance, the 82545GM controller handles gigabit ethernet traffic with low network latency and minimal internal processing overhead. the controller?s architecture includes independent transmit and receive queues to limit pci bus traffic, and a pci interface that maximizes the use of bursts for efficient bus usage. the intel 82545GM gigabit ethernet controller prefetches up to 64 packet descriptors in a single burst for efficient pci-bandwidth usage. a 64kb on-chip packet buffer maintains superior performance as available pci bandwidth changes. advanced interrupt moderation hardware manages interrupts generated by the 82545GM controller to further improve system efficiency. in addition, using hardware acceleration, the controller also offloads tasks from the host processor, such as tcp/udp/ip checksum calculations and tcp segmentation. applications the intel 82545GM gigabit ethernet controller is designed for use in the following applications: lan on motherboard (lom) in dense, space- constrained systems such as rack-mounted servers and high-density blade servers communications platform using dual gigabit ethernet on the backplane (picmg 3.1 compliant or 1000base-x) internet infrastructure devices with high-speed requirements and limited board real estate, such as switches, routers and load balancers
