Rtl8111b / rtl8168b Gigabit Ethernet controller combines three speed IEEE802 3 compatible media access controller (MAC) with three speed Ethernet transceiver, PCI Express bus controller and embedded memory.
RTL adopts * * DSP technology, and rtlrt8111b / rtl8168b provide high-speed transmission through cat5utp cable or cat3utp (* * 10Mbps) cable.
The functions of cross detection and automatic correction, polarity correction, adaptive equalization, cross cancellation, echo cancellation, timing recovery and error correction are realized to provide robust transmission and reception capability at high speed.
These devices support express1.1 for PCI host communication with power management 0A bus interface and conform to ieee802.0 of 10 / 100Mbps Ethernet Ieee802.3u specification and 1000Mbps Ethernet 3AB specification.
They also support the automatic detection function of auxiliary power supply and will automatically configure the relevant bits of PCI power management register in PCI configuration space.
Support * * configure power management interface (ACPI) - power management for the operating system of directional power management (OSPM) for modern operating system, so as to realize more power management.
PCI message signal interrupt (MSI) is also supported. In addition to the ACPI function, remote wake-up (including amdmagic package) is also supported in ACPI and APM (* * Power Management) environments ™、 Re linkok and Microsoft ® Wake up frame).
WOL is supported from the deep power-off state (e.g. D3 cold, i.e. the main power supply is off and there is only auxiliary power supply), and the auxiliary power supply must be able to provide the required power supply for rtl8111b / rtl8168b.
Rtl8111b / rtl8168b comply with Microsoft ® Ndis5 (IP, TCP, UDP) verification and division task unloading function, supporting IEEE802 IP layer 2 * * level coding and ieee802.0 1q virtual bridging local area network (VLAN).
The above functions help to reduce CPU utilization, especially when running on a network server.
The device also has next-generation interconnect PCI Express technology. Pciexpress is a high bandwidth, low pin count, serial interconnection technology, which significantly improves the performance compared with traditional PCI and maintains the software compatibility with the existing PCI infrastructure.
Rtl8168b supports the connection of a 64kbyte external serial peripheral interface (SPI) flash memory. The at25f512 interface allows the rtl8168b to read and write data from an external SPI flash memory device and provides 64K bytes of serial programmable flash memory.
Note: the rtl8111b does not support SPI. Rtl8111b / rtl8168b are suitable for multiple market segments and emerging applications, such as desktops, mobile devices, workstations, servers, communication platforms and embedded applications.
