Description

The BCM5714skpb is an IC Chip in the category of Electronic Components. It is a single-chip solution for LAN on Motherboard (LOM) and network interface card (NIC) applications. It consists of integrated 10BASE-T/100BASE-TX/1000BASE-T transceivers with a 10/100/1000-Mbps triple-speed media access controller (MAC). The chip also has multiple host interfaces, including PCI v2.2, 32/64-bit, and 33/66 MHz, as well as PCI-X v1.0 64-bit, 133 MHz. It is designed with Ultra-deep, 96-KB, on-chip packet buffer and dual, high-speed RISC cores with 16-KB caches.
