Embedded Intel® 82578DM Gigabit Ethernet PHY

Overview

The Intel® 82578DM Gigabit Ethernet PHY is single port, and it connects to the Intel® 5 Series Express Chipset integrated media access controller (MAC) through a dedicated interconnect. The 82578DM supports operation at data rates of 1000/100/10 Mb/s. The PHY circuitry provides a standard IEEE 802.3 Ethernet interface for 1000BASE-T, 100BASE-TX, and 10BASE-T applications (802.3, 802.3u, and 802.3ab).

LAN features

Supports Intel® AMT with Pre-Set System Defense Filters
Supports iSCSI boot
Supports jumbo frames, RSS, and dual TX/RX queues
Supports 802.1AE MACsec Security
Supports Intel® Stable Image Platform Program (Intel® SIPP)
Small footprint 6mm x 6mm Quad Flatpack No-lead (QFN) package, ideal for small form-factor platforms
