1. General Description
The Realtek RTL8111 Gigabit Ethernet controller combines a triple-speed IEEE 802.3 compliant Media
Access Controller (MAC) with a triple-speed Ethernet transceiver, PCI Express 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.
The device supports the PCI Express 1.0a bus interface for host communications with power management
and is compliant with the IEEE 802.3u specification for 10/100Mbps Ethernet and the IEEE 802.3ab
specification for 1000Mbps Ethernet. It also supports an auxiliary power auto-detect function, and will
auto-configure related bits of the PCI power management registers in PCI configuration space.
Advanced Configuration Power management Interface (ACPI)--power management for modern operating
systems that are capable of Operating System-directed Power Management (OSPM)—is also supported to
achieve the most efficient power management possible. PCI Message Signaled Interrupt (MSI) is also
supported.
In addition to the ACPI feature, remote wake-up (including AMD Magic Packet™, Re-LinkOk, and
Microsoft® Wake-up frame) is supported in both ACPI and APM (Advanced Power Management)
environments. To support WOL from a deep power down state (e.g., D3cold, i.e. main power is off and
only auxiliary exists), the auxiliary power source must be able to provide the needed power for the
RTL8111.
The RTL8111 is fully compliant with Microsoft® NDIS5 (IP, TCP, UDP) Checksum and Segmentation
Task-offload features, and supports IEEE 802 IP Layer 2 priority encoding and 802.1Q Virtual bridged
Local Area Network (VLAN). The above features contribute to lowering CPU utilization, especially
benefiting performance when in operation on a network server.
The device features next-generation PCI Express interconnect technology. PCI Express is a
high-bandwidth, low pin count, serial, interconnect technology that offers significant improvements in
performance over conventional PCI and also maintains software compatibility with existing PCI
infrastructure.
The RTL8111 is suitable for multiple market segments and emerging applications, such as desktop, mobile,
workstation, server, communications platforms, and embedded applications.

The RTL8111 is compliant with PCI Express Base Specification Revision 1.0a, and runs at a 2.5GHz
signaling rate with X1 link width, i.e., one transmit and one receive differential pair. The RTL8111
supports four types of PCI Express messages: interrupt messages, error messages, power management
messages, and hot-plug messages. The PCI Express lane polarity reversal and link reversal are also
supported to ease PCB layout constraints.
6.1.1. PCI Express Transmitter
The RTL8111’s PCI Express block receives digital data from the Ethernet interface and performs data
scrambling with Linear Feedback Shift Register (LFSR) and 8B/10B coding technology into 10-bit code
groups. Data scrambling is used to reduce the possibility of electrical resonance on the link, and 8B/10B
coding technology is used to benefit embedded clocking, error detection, and DC balance by sacrificing a
25 percent overhead to the system through the addition of 2 extra bits. The data code groups are passed
through its serializer for packet framing. The generated 2.5Gbps serial data is transmitted onto the PCB
trace to its upstream device via a differential driver.
6.1.2. PCI Express Receiver
The RTL8111’s PCI Express block receives 2.5Gbps serial data from its upstream device to generate
parallel data. The receiver’s PLL circuits are resynchronized to maintain bit and symbol lock. Through
8B/10B decoding technology and data descrambling, the original digital data is recovered and passed to
the RTL8111’s internal Ethernet MAC to be transmitted onto the Ethernet media.
6.2. LED Functions
The RTL8111 supports 4 LED signals in 4 different configurable operation modes. The following sections
describe the various LED actions.
6.2.1. Link Monitor
The Link Monitor senses link integrity, such as LINK10, LINK100, LINK1000, LINK10/100/1000,
LINK10/ACT, LINK100/ACT, or LINK1000/ACT. Whenever link status is established, the specific link
LED pin is driven low. Once a cable is disconnected, the link LED pin is driven high, indicating that no
network connection exists.
In 10/100/1000Mbps mode, blinking of the LINK/ACT LED indicates that the RTL8111 is linked and
operating properly. When this LED is high for extended periods, it indicates that a link problem exists.
Based on state-of-the-art DSP technology and mixed-mode signal processing technology, the RTL8111
operates at 10/100/1000Mbps over standard CAT.5 UTP cable (100/1000Mbps), and CAT.3 UTP
cable (10Mbps).
GMII (1000Mbps) Mode
The RTL8111’s PCS layer receives data bytes from the MAC through the GMII interface and performs the
generation of continuous code-groups through 4D-PAM5 coding technology. These code groups are
passed through a waveform-shaping filter to minimize EMI effect, and are transmitted onto the 4-pair
CAT5 cable at 125MBaud/s through a D/A converter.
MII (100Mbps) Mode
The transmitted 4-bit nibbles (TXD[3:0]) from the MAC, clocked at 25MHz (TXC), are converted into 5B
symbol code through 4B/5B coding technology, then through scrambling and serializing, are converted to
125Mhz NRZ and NRZI signals. After that, the NRZI signals are passed to the MLT3 encoder, then to the
D/A converter and transmitted onto the media.
MII (10Mbps) Mode
The transmitted 4-bit nibbles (TXD[3:0]) from the MAC, clocked at 2.5MHz (TXC), are serialized into
10Mbps serial data. The 10Mbps serial data is converted into a Manchester-encoded data stream and is
transmitted onto the media by the D/A converter.
6.3.2. PHY Receiver
GMII (1000Mbps) Mode
Input signals from the media pass through the sophisticated on-chip hybrid circuit to subtract the
transmitted signal from the input signal for effective reduction of near-end echo. Afterwards, the received
signal is processed with state-of-the-art technology, e.g., adaptive equalization, BLW (Baseline Wander)
correction, cross-talk cancellation, echo cancellation, timing recovery, error correction, and 4D-PAM5
decoding. Then, the 8-bit-wide data is recovered and is sent to the GMII interface at a clock speed of
125MHz. The Rx MAC retrieves the packet data from the receive MII/GMII interface and sends it to the
Rx Buffer Manager.
MII (100Mbps) Mode
The MLT3 signal is processed with an ADC, equalizer, BLW (Baseline Wander) correction, timing
recovery, MLT3 and NRZI decoder, descrambler, 4B/5B decoder, and is then presented to the MII
interface in 4-bit-wide nibbles at a clock speed of 25MHz.
MII (10Mbps) Mode
The received differential signal is converted into a Manchester-encoded stream first. Next, the stream is
processed with a Manchester decoder and is de-serialized into 4-bit-wide nibbles. The 4-bit nibbles are
presented to the MII interface at a clock speed of 2.5MHz.
If 1000Base-T mode is advertised, three additional Next Pages are automatically exchanged between the
two link partners. Users can set PHY Reg4.15 to 1 to manually exchange extra Next Pages via Reg7 and
Reg8 as defined in IEEE 802.3ab.
6.5. EEPROM Interface
The RTL8111 requires the attachment of an external EEPROM. The 93C46/93C56 is a 1K-bit/2K-bit
EEPROM. The EEPROM interface permits the RTL8111 to read from, and write data to, an external serial
EEPROM device.
Values in the external EEPROM allow default fields in PCI configuration space and I/O space to be
overridden following a power-on or software EEPROM auto-load command. The RTL8111 will auto-load
values from the EEPROM. If the EEPROM is not present, the RTL8111 initialization uses default values
for the appropriate Configuration and Operational Registers. Software can read and write to the EEPROM
using bit-bang accesses via the 9346CR Register, or using PCI VPD (Vital Product Data). The interface
consists of EESK, EECS, EEDO, and EEDI.

This pin should be connected to EEPROM. To support wakeup from ACPI D3cold or APM
power-down, this pin must be pulled high to Aux. Power via a resistor. If this pin is not
pulled high to Aux. Power, the RTL8111 assumes that no Aux. Power exists.
The RTL8111 is compliant with ACPI (Rev 1.0, 1.0b, 2.0), PCI Power Management (Rev 1.1), PCI
Express Active State Power Management (ASPM), and Network Device Class Power Management
Reference Specification (V1.0a), such as to support an Operating System-directed Power Management
(OSPM) environment.
The RTL8111 can monitor the network for a Wakeup Frame, a Magic Packet, or a Re-LinkOk, and notify
the system via a PCI Express Power Management Event (PME) Message, Beacon, or LANWAKEB pin
when such a packet or event occurs. Then the system can be restored to a normal state to process incoming
jobs.
When the RTL8111 is in power down mode (D1 ~ D3):
• The Rx state machine is stopped. The RTL8111 monitors the network for wakeup events such as a
Magic Packet, Wakeup Frame, and/or Re-LinkOk, in order to wake up the system. When in power
down mode, the RTL8111 will not reflect the status of any incoming packets in the ISR register and
will not receive any packets into the Rx on-chip buffer.
• The on-chip buffer status and packets that have already been received into the Rx on-chip buffer before
entering power down mode are held by the RTL8111.
• Transmission is stopped. PCI Express transactions are stopped. The Tx on-chip buffer is held.
• After being restored to D0 state, the RTL8111 transmits data that was not moved into the Tx on-chip
buffer during power down mode. Packets that were not transmitted completely last time are
re-transmitted.
The D3cold_support_PME bit (bit15, PMC register) and the Aux_I_b2:0 bits (bit8:6, PMC register) in PCI
configuration space depend on the existence of Aux power (bit15, PMC) = 1.
If EEPROM D3cold_support_PME bit (bit15, PMC) = 0, the above 4 bits are all 0’s.
Example:
If EEPROM D3c_support_PME = 1:
• If aux. power exists, then PMC in PCI config space is the same as EEPROM PMC
(if EEPROM PMC = C2 F7, then PCI PMC = C2 F7)
• If aux. power is absent, then PMC in PCI config space is the same as EEPROM PMC except the above
4 bits are all 0’s (if EEPROM PMC = C2 F7, then PCI PMC = 02 76)
In the above case, if wakeup support is desired when main power is off, it is suggested that the EEPROM
PMC be set to C2 F7 (Realtek EEPROM default value).
If EEPROM D3c_support_PME = 0:
• If aux. power exists, then PMC in PCI config space is the same as EEPROM PMC
(if EEPROM PMC = C2 77, then PCI PMC = C2 77)
• If aux. power is absent, then PMC in PCI config space is the same as EEPROM PMC except the above
4 bits are all 0’s (if EEPROM PMC = C2 77, then PCI PMC = 02 76)
In the above case, if wakeup support is not desired when main power is off, it is suggested that the
EEPROM PMC be set to 02 76.
Link Wakeup occurs only when the following conditions are met:
• The LinkUp bit (CONFIG3#4) is set to 1, the PMEn bit (CONFIG1#0) is set to 1, and the corresponded
wake-up method (message, beacon, or LANWAKEB) can be asserted in the current power state.
Magic Packet Wakeup occurs only when the following conditions are met:
• The destination address of the received Magic Packet is acceptable to the RTL8111, e.g., a broadcast,
multicast, or unicast packet addressed to the current RTL8111 adapter.
• The received Magic Packet does not contain a CRC error.
• The Magic bit (CONFIG3#5) is set to 1, the PMEn bit (CONFIG1#0) is set to 1, and the corresponding
wake-up method (message, beacon, or LANWAKEB) can be asserted in the current power state.
• The Magic Packet pattern matches, i.e. 6 * FFh + MISC (can be none) + 16 * DID (Destination ID) in
any part of a valid Ethernet packet.
A Wakeup Frame event occurs only when the following conditions are met:
• The destination address of the received Wakeup Frame is acceptable to the RTL8111, e.g., a broadcast,
multicast, or unicast address to the current RTL8111 adapter.
• The received Wakeup Frame does not contain a CRC error.
• The PMEn bit (CONFIG1#0) is set to 1.
• The 16-bit CRCA of the received Wakeup Frame matches the 16-bit CRC of the sample Wakeup Frame
pattern given by the local machine’s OS. Or, the RTL8111 is configured to allow direct packet wakeup,
e.g., a broadcast, multicast, or unicast network packet.
Note: 16-bit CRC: The RTL8111 supports two normal wakeup frames (covering 64 mask bytes from
offset 0 to 63 of any incoming network packet) and three long wakeup frames (covering 128 mask bytes
from offset 0 to 127 of any incoming network packet).
The corresponding wake-up method (message, beacon, or LANWAKEB) is asserted only when the
following conditions are met:
• The PMEn bit (bit0, CONFIG1) is set to 1.
• The PME_En bit (bit8, PMCSR) in PCI Configuration Space is set to 1.
• The RTL8111 may assert the corresponding wake-up method (message, beacon, or LANWAKEB) in
the current power state or in isolation state, depending on the PME_Support (bit15-11) setting of the
PMC register in PCI Configuration Space.
• A Magic Packet, LinkUp, or Wakeup Frame has been received.
• Writing a 1 to the PME_Status (bit15) of the PMCSR register in the PCI Configuration Space clears
this bit and causes the RTL8111 to stop asserting the corresponding wake-up method (message,
beacon, or LANWAKEB) (if enabled).
When the RTL8111 is in power down mode, e.g., D1-D3, the IO and MEMaccesses to the RTL8111 are
disabled. After a PERSTB assertion, the device’s power state is restored to D0 automatically if the original
power state was D3
ACPI mode, the device does not support PME (Power Management Enable) from D0 (this is the Realtek
default setting of the PMC register auto-loaded from EEPROM). The setting may be changed from the
EEPROM, if required.
. There is almost no hardware delay at the device’s power state transition. When in
cold
6.7. Vital Product Data (VPD)
Bit 31 of the Vital Product Data (VPD) capability structure in the RTL8111’s PCI Configuration Space is
used to issue VPD read/write commands and is also a flag used to indicate whether the transfer of data
between the VPD data register and the 93C46/93C56 has completed or not.
1. Write VPD register: (write data to the 93C46/93C56)
Set the flag bit to 1 at the same time the VPD address is written to write VPD data to EEPROM.
When the flag bit is reset to 0 by the RTL8111, the VPD data (4 bytes per VPD access) has been
transferred from the VPD data register to EEPROM.
2. Read VPD register: (read data from the 93C46/93C56)
Reset the flag bit to 0 at the same time the VPD address is written to retrieve VPD data from
EEPROM. When the flag bit is set to 1 by the RTL8111, the VPD data (4 bytes per VPD access)
has been transferred from EEPROM to the VPD data register.
Note 1: Refer to the PCI 2.2 Specifications for further information.
Note 2: The VPD address must be a DWORD-aligned address as defined in the PCI 2.2 Specifications.
VPD data is always consecutive 4-byte data starting from the VPD address specified.
Note 3: Realtek reserves offset 40h to 7Fh in EEPROM mainly for VPD data to be stored.
Note 4: The VPD function of the RTL8111 is designed to be able to access the full range of the
93C46/93C56 EEPROM.
