Technology Features

Features

Benefits

Four activity and link indication outputs that directly
drive LEDs

Link and activity indications (10, 100, and 1000
Mbps) on each port

Programmable LED functionality

Software definable function (speed, link, and
activity) and blinking allowing flexible LED
implementations

Internal PLL for clock generation can use a 25 MHz
crystal

Lower component count and system cost

JTAG (IEEE 1149.1) Test Access Port built in silicon

Simplified testing using boundary scan

On-chip power control circuitry

a

a. If applying the “low-power” EEPROM setting for the 82540EP chip, then only external voltage regulator circuits should be used

instead of the on-chip power control circuitry

Reduced number of on-board power supply
regulators

Simplified power supply design in less power-
critical applications

Four software definable pins

Additional flexibility for LEDs or other low speed
I/O devices

Supports little endian byte ordering for both 32 and 64
bit systems and big endian byte ordering for 64 bit
systems

Portable across application architectures

Two or three-pair cable downshift

Supports modular hardware accessories

Provides loopback capabilities

Validates silicon integrity

Minimal ballout change from the 82540EM
