The Intel® 82540EP Gigabit Et hern et Contr oll er is a sing le, co mpact component wi th an integ rat ed
Gigabit Ethernet Media Access Control (MA C) and physical layer (PHY) functions. For desktop,
workstation and mobile PC Network designs with critical space constraints, the Intel
allows for a Gigabit Ethernet implementation in a very small area that is footprint compatible with
current generation 10/100 Mbps Fast Ethernet designs

physical laye r circ uitry to provide a standard IEEE 802 .3 Ethernet interface for 1000BASE-T,
100BASE-TX, and 10B ASE -T applic at ions (80 2.3, 802. 3u, an d 802.3ab ). The cont roll er is capabl e
of transmitting and receiving data at rates of 1000 Mbps, 100 Mbps, or 10 Mbps. In addition to
managing MA C and PHY layer functions, the control ler provides a 32-bit wide direct Peri pheral
Component Interconnect (PCI) 2.2 compliant interface capable of operating at 33 or 66 MHz.
The 82540EP also incorporates the CLKRUN protocol and ha rdware supported downshift
capabilit y to two or three-pair 100 Mb/s operation. These features optimize mobile applications.
82540EP integrates Intel’s fourth generation gigabit MAC design with fully integrated,

82540EP’ s on-board System Management Bus (SMB) port enables network
manageabilit y implementations requ ired by information tech nology personnel for remote control
and alerting via the LAN. Wit h SMB, managemen t packe ts can be rout ed to or from a management
processor . The SMB port en ables industry standards, such as In telligent P latform Man agement
Interface (IPMI) and Alert Standard Forum (ASF), to be implemented using the 82540EP. In
addition, on chi p ASF 1.0 circuitry provid es alerting and remote control capabilities wit h
standardized interfaces.
The 82540EP Gigabit Ethernet Controller architecture is designed to deliv er high performance and
PCI bus efficien cy. Wide inter n al da ta pat h s eli mi n at e p er f o r man ce bottlenecks by efficie n tl y
handling large address and data words. The 82540EP controller include s advanced interru pt
handling featu res to limit PCI bus traffic and a PCI interface that maximizes the use of bursts for
eff icient bus usage. The 82540EP caches up to 64 packet descriptors in a single burst for efficient
PCI bandwidth use. A large 64 KByte on-chip packet bu ffer maintains superior performance as
available PCI bandwidth changes. In addition, using hardwa re ac ce leration, the controll er offloads
tasks from the host controller , s uch as TCP/UDP/IP checksum calculations and TCP segmentation.

The 82540EP is packag ed in a 15 mm
196-ball grid array and is pin compatible with both the
82551QM 10/100 Mbps F as t Et hernet Multifuncti on PCI/CardBus Controller and the 82540EM
Gigabit Ethernet Controller (which does not have added power saving features like CLKRUN).

Note:The ta rgeted signal names are subject to change without notice. Verify with your local Intel sales
office that you have th e latest information before finalizing a design.
3.1Signal Type Definitions
The signals of the 82540EP controller are electrically defined as foll ows:
NameDefinition
IInput. Standard input onl y di gital signal.
O
TS
STS
OD
A
P
Output. Standard output onl y digital signal.
Tri-state. Bi-directional three-state digital input/output signal.
Sustained Tri-state. Sustained digital three-stat e signal driven by one agent at a t ime.
An agent driving the STS pin low must actively drive it high for at least one clock before letting it
float. The next agent of the signal cannot drive the pin earlier than one clock after it has been
released by the previous agent.
Open Dr ai n . Wired-OR wi th other ag ents.
The signaling agent asserts the OD signal, but the signal is returned to the inactive state by a
weak pull-up resistor. The pull-up resistor may require two or three clock periods to fully restore
the signal to the de-a sserted state.
Analog. PHY analog data signal .
Power. Power connection, voltage reference, or other reference connection.
Networking Silicon — 82540EP
3.2PCI Bus Interface
When the Reset signal (RST #) is asserted, the 82540EP will not drive any PCI output or bidirectional pins except the Power Management Event signal (PME#).

Initiator Ready. Initiator Ready indicates the ability of the 82540EP controller (as bus
maste r device) to complet e the current data phase of the transaction. IRDY# is used in
conjunction with the T arget Ready signal (TRDY#). The data phase is completed on any
clock when both IRDY# and TRDY# are asserted.
During the write cycle, IRDY# indicates t hat valid data is present on AD[3 1:0]. For a
read cycl e , it in dica te s the mas t er is rea dy to ac cep t da ta. Wai t cycl es are ins erted un til
both IRD Y# and TRDY# are asserted together. The 82540EP controller drives IRDY#
when acting as a master and samples it when acting as a slave.
Target Ready. The Target Ready signal in dicates the ability of the 82540EP controller
(as a sele cted device) to comple te the current data phase of the transaction. TRDY# is
used in conjunction with the I nitiator Ready signal (IRD Y#). A data p hase is compl eted
on an y clock when both TRDY# and IRDY# are sam pled asse rted.
During a read cycle, TRDY# indicates that valid data is present on AD[31:0]. For a write
cycle, it indicate s the target is ready to accep t data. Wai t cycles are inserted until both
IRDY# and TRDY# are asserted together. The 82540EP device drives TRDY# when
acting as a slave and samples it when acting as a master.
Stop. The Stop signal indicates the current target is requesting the master to stop the
current transaction. As a slave, the 82540EP controller drives STOP# to request the
bus master to stop the transacti on. As a master, the 82540EP controller receiv es
STOP# from the slave to stop the current transaction.
Init ialization Device Select. The Initialization Device Select signal is used by the
82540 EP as a chip select signal during configuration read an d write tran sactions.
Device Select. When the De vice Select signal is actively driven by the 82540EP, it
signals notifies the bus master that it has decoded its address as the target of the
current access. As an input, DEVSEL# indicates whether any device on the bus has
been selected.
VIO. The VIO signal is a voltage reference for the PCI interface (3.3 V or 5 V PCI
signaling environment). It is used as the clamping voltage.

TC (case temperature) is calculated using the equation:
TC = TA + P (θJA - q JC)

Thermal resistances are determined empiric ally with test devices mounted on standard ther mal test
boards. Real sys tem designs may hav e dif f erent c harac teris tics due to board thi ckn ess, a rrangeme nt
of ground planes, and proximity of other components. The cas e temperature measurements should
be used to assure that the 82540EP device is operat ing under recommended conditions.
