82562EZ(EX)/82547GI(EI) Dual Footprint Design Guide
1
1.0 Introduction
Intel currently supports several footprint compatible Ethernet options depending upon the target
application. The term “footprint compatible” means that the silicon devices are all manufactured in
a 15 mm x 15 mm, 196-ball grid array package with the same ball pattern. Many of the critical
signal pin locations are identical, allowing designers to create a single LAN on Motherboard
(LOM) design that accommodates all devices. This is a flexible, cost-effective, multipurpose
design technique that allowing maximized value while matching performance needs.
Note: Since some of the signal pins have different usages, the term “pin-compatible” is not applicable.
Available LAN components with the same footprint include the 82547GI(EI) Gigabit Ethernet
Controller and the 82562EZ(EX) Platform LAN Connect components.
The LAN component used on a specific platform depends on the end user’s need for connection
speed and manageability. As the requirements change, footprint compatibility makes it possible to
re-focus the platform without the need to redesign a new a motherboard.
1.1 Scope
This application note contains Ethernet design guidelines applicable to LOM designs based on the
Intel
®
865 Chipset and Intel
®
875 Chipset. The document identifies similarities and differences
between the 82562EZ(EX) Platform LAN Connect device and the 82547GI(EI) Gigabit Ethernet
Controller.
Section 2 describes the port interfaces specific to each device.
Section 3 explains what you need to know to hook up an Ethernet device to the system.
Section 4 describes board layout techniques applicable to these devices.
Section 5 provides a reference to the design and layout checklists.
