*{1:4} Refers to the four separate Gigabit transceivers in the BCM5464S
The
BCM5464S
consists of four complete 10/100/1000BASE-T Gigabit
Ethernet transceivers integrated on a single monolithic CMOS chip, and
is a member of Broadcom’s QuadSquad
TM
family of quad Gigabit
Ethernet PHYs. The
BCM5464S
is optimized for low-power and small
footprint size to enable high port density applications. The
BCM5464S
enables a new class of cost effective Gigabit Ethernet equipment by
lowering system cost and reducing power dissipation by nearly 25%,
driving the delivery of Gigabit bandwidth to the desktop.
The
BCM5464S
digital signal processor based architecture and
advanced power management techniques combine to achieve robust and
low-power operation over the existing Category 5 twisted-pair wiring.
The
BCM5464S
architecture not only meets the requirements of IEEE’s
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 key to implementing high-density Gigabit switches, and the
BCM5464S
has the lowest power in the industry at less than 750 mW per
port. In addition, the
BCM5464S
has extremely low EMI emissions,
which reduces the design constraints required to meet EMI radiation
specifications.
The
BCM5464S
supports GMII, RGMII, SGMII, and SerDes MAC
interfaces. A unique feature of the
BCM5464S
is its ability to support
both copper and fiber networks, with an integrated SerDes PHY interface
that can connect directly to a fiber-optic module. Switching between
copper and fiber media can be accomplished either automatically or
through software control. The
BCM5464S
monitors copper link and
fiber signal detect status, and automatically swaps either copper traffic or
fiber traffic to the MAC/switch based on priorities set at initialization.
This device is another member of Broadcom’s 0.13-µm Gigabit copper
PHY family, joining the BCM5404, BCM5414, BCM5421, BCM5421S,
BCM5424, and BCM5434. The 0.13-µm process is the optimal process
that offers the best performance, lowest cost, and lowest power for
Gigabit copper solutions. Devices based on the 0.13-µm process offer an
excellent long term cost curve, enabling better cost reduction over time
compared to older technologies without having to redesign or requalify
a new part.
Each port of the
BCM5464S
is fully independent and has individual
interface, control and status registers, and 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 preferred speed. This includes physical
wiring defects that the
BCM5464S
cannot automatically correct for,
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
BCM5464S
also has ESD tolerance well above typical industry
standards. This prevents ESD damage not only during manufacturing but
during CESD events in the field. The CESD is an ESD event that occurs
when an electrically charged network cable is plugged into a network
port, which is an issue becoming more prevalent with recent cable
installations. The BCM5464 can tolerate over 4 kV of CESD.
