2.5.6.1 PCIe GbE Ethernet
Two PCIe lanes are connected to two Realtek RTL8111C PCIe GbE controllers shown in
Figure 2-11 below.
Figure 2-11: Realtek PCI GbE Controllers
The Realtek RTL8111C PCI GbE controllers combine a triple-speed IEEE 802.3 compliant
Media Access Controller (MAC) with a triple-speed Ethernet transceiver, 32-bit PCIe bus
controller, and embedded memory. With state-of-the-art DSP technology and mixed-mode
signal technology, they offer high-speed transmission over CAT 5 UTP cable or CAT 3
UTP (10Mbps only) cable. Functions such as Crossover Detection & Auto-Correction,
polarity correction, adaptive equalization, cross-talk cancellation, echo cancellation, timing
recovery, and error correction are implemented to provide robust transmission and
reception capability at high speeds.
Some of the features of the Realtek RTL8110SC PCI GbE controllers are listed below.
