Datasheet
The Intel
®
IXF1104 4-Port Gigabit Ethernet Media Access Controller (hereafter referred to as
the IXF1104 MAC) supports IEEE 802.3* 10/100/1000 Mbps applications. The IXF1104 MAC
supports a System Packet Interface Phase 3 (SPI3) system interface to a network processor or
ASIC, and concurrently supports copper and fiber physical layer devices (PHYs).
The copper PHY interface supports the standard and reduced pin-count Gigabit Media
Independent Interface (GMII and RGMII) for high-port-count applications. For fiber
applications the integrated Serializer/Deserializer (SerDes) on each port supports direct
connection to optical modules to reduce PCB area requirements and system cost.
