General Description

The RTL8214C integrates quad independent 10/100/1000M Ethernet transceivers into a single IC, and performs all

the physical layer (PHY) functions for 1000Base-T, 100Base-TX, and 10Base-T Ethernet on category 5 UTP cable

except 1000Base-T half-duplex. 10Base-T functionality can also be achieved on standard category 3 or 4 cable.

Each of the four independent transceivers features an innovative QSGMII for reduced PCB traces. All transceivers

can communicate with the MAC simultaneously through the QSGMII interface.

Features

Quad-port integrated 10/100/1000Base-T Gigabit Ethernet transceiver

Each port supports full duplex in 10/100/1000M mode (half duplex is only supported in 10/100M mode)

Supports RSGMII-Plus (5Gbps serial high speed interface) in 10/100/1000 mode

Supports QSGMII (5Gbps serial high speed interface) in 10/100/1000 mode

Physical interface supports 1000Base-X

Physical interface supports 100Base-FX

Supports IEEE 802.3az Energy Efficient Ethernet (EEE)

Supports crossover detection and auto correction in 10Base-T/100Base-T

Applications

QSGMII Phyceiver for 1000Base-T/1000Base-X/100Base-FX
