Description

This article is about the electronic component model RTL8111F-CGT, which belongs to the product category of IC Chips. The article presents a general description of the model, its features, system applications, and concludes with a comparison of its advantages and disadvantages.

Specifications and features

The RTL8111 Gigabit Ethernet controller is designed with mixed-mode signal technology and DSP technology. It 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. Some of its features are:

• Integrated 10/100/1000 transceiver
• Auto-Negotiation with Next Page capability
• Full compliance with IEEE 802.3, IEEE 802.3u, IEEE 802.3ab
• Supports power down/link down power saving
• Crossover Detection & Auto-Correction, polarity correction
• Wake-on-LAN and remote wake-up support

Application Scenarios

The RTL8111F-CGT is ideal for the following system applications:

• PCI Express™ Gigabit Ethernet on Motherboard, Notebook, or Embedded system

Comparison

• Robust transmission and reception capability at high speeds due to the implementation of various functions such as Crossover Detection & Auto-Correction, polarity correction, adaptive equalization, cross-talk cancellation, echo cancellation, timing recovery, and error correction.
• Supports Full Duplex flow control (IEEE 802.3x)
• Supports IEEE 802.1P Layer 2 Priority Encoding and IEEE 802.1Q VLAN tagging.

• The RTL8111F-CGT is designed with a 128-pin DHS-QFP package, which may not be suitable for all applications.
