RTL8103E & RTL8103EL
Datasheet
1. General Description
The Realtek RTL8103E(L)-GRFast Ethernet controller combines an IEEE 802.3 10/100Base-T
compliant Media Access Controller (MAC), PCI Express bus controller, and embedded
One-Time-Programmable (OTP) memory. With state-of-the-art DSP technology and mixed-mode signal
technology, the RTL8103E(L) offers 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 1.1 bus interface for host communications with power management,
and is compliant with the IEEE 802.3u specification for 10/100Mbps 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. The RTL8103E(L) features embedded One-Time-Programmable
(OTP) memory to replace the external EEPROM (93C46/93C56).
Advanced Configuration Power management Interface (ACPI)—power management for modern
operating systems that are capable of Operating System-directed Power Management (OSPM)—is
supported to achieve the most efficient power management possible. PCI MSI (Message Signaled
Interrupt) and MSI-X are also supported.
In addition to the ACPI feature, remote wake-up (including AMD Magic Packet™ 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 RTL8103E(L).
The RTL8103E(L) is fully compliant with Microsoft
Checksum and Segmentation Task-offload (Large send and Giant send) features, and supports IEEE 802
IP Layer 2 priority encoding and IEEE 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.
®
NDIS5, NDIS6 (IPv4, IPv6, TCP, UDP)
®
The RTL8103E(L) supports Receive Side Scaling (RSS) to hash incoming TCP connections and
load-balance received data processing across multiple CPUs. RSS improves the number of transactions
per second and number of connections per second, for increased network throughput.
The device also features inter-connect PCI Express 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 device
embeds an adaptive equalizer in the PCIE PHY for ease of system integration and excellent link quality.
The equalizer enables the length of the PCB traces to reach 20 inches.
The RTL8103E(L) is suitable for multiple market segments and emerging applications, such as desktop,
mobile, workstation, server, communications platforms, and embedded applications.
Built-in linear regulators provide the RTL8103E(L)’s core power, as well as reducing layout area and
external BOM costs. The RTL8103E supports the Deep Slumber Mode (DSM) power saving feature. See
the separate DSM application notes for details (the RTL8103EL does not support the DSM feature).
Note: RTL8103 model differences are listed in section 9 Ordering Information, page 31.

Pin No

Description
Power Management Event: Open drain, active low.
Used to reactivate the PCI Express slot’s main power rails and
reference clocks.
Isolate Pin: Active low.
Used to isolate the RTL8103E(L) from the PCI Express bus. The
RTL8103E(L) will not drive its PCI Express outputs (excluding
LANWAKEB) and will not sample its PCI Express input as long as the
Isolate pin is asserted.
PCI Express Reset Signal: Active low.
When the PERSTB is asserted at power-on state, the RTL8103E(L)
returns to a pre-defined reset state and is ready for initialization and
configuration after the de-assertion of the PERSTB.
Reference Clock Request Signal.
This signal is used by the RTL8103E(L) to request starting of the PCI
Express reference clock.
