Datasheet 1
1.0 Introduction
The Intel® 82541PI/GI/EI Gigabit Ethernet is a single, compact component with an integrated
Gigabit Ethernet Media Access Control (MAC) and physical layer (PHY) functions. For desktop,
workstation and mobile PC Network des igns with critical space constraints, the Intel® 82541PI/GI/
EI allows for a Gigabit Ethernet implementation in a very small area that is footprint compatible
with current generation 10/100 Mbps Fast Ethernet designs.
The Intel® 82541PI/GI/EI int egrates fourth generat ion gigabit MAC design with fully integrated,
physical layer circuitry to provide a standard IEEE 802.3 Ethernet interface for 1000BASE-T,
100B ASE-TX, and 10BASE-T applications (802.3, 802.3u, and 802.3ab). The controller is capable
of transmitting and receiving data at rates of 1000 Mbps, 100 Mbps, or 10 Mbps. In addition to
managing MAC and PHY layer functions, the controller provides a 32-bit wide direct Peripheral
Component Interconnect (PCI) 2.3 complian t interface capable of operati ng at 33 or 66 MHz.
The 82541PI/GI/EI also incorporat es th e CLKRUN protocol and hardware supported downshift
capability to two-pair and three-pair 100 Mbps operation. These features optimize mobile
applications.
The 82541PI/GI/EI on-board System Management Bus (SMB) port enables network manageability
implementations required by information technolo gy personnel for remote control and alerting via
the Local Area Network (LAN). With SMB, management packets can be routed to or from a
management processor. The SMB port enables industry standards, such as Intelligent Platform
Management Interface (IPMI) and Alert Standard Forum (ASF) 2.0, to be implemented using the
82541PI/GI/EI. In addition, on chip ASF 2.0 circuitry provides alerting and remote control
capabilities with standardized interfaces.
The 82541PI/GI/EI Gigabit Ethernet Controller Architecture is designed for high performance and
low memory latency. Wide internal data paths eliminate performance bot tleneck s by efficiently
handling large address and data words. The 82541PI/GI/EI controller in cludes advanced interrupt
handling features to limit PCI bus traff i c and a PCI interface that maximizes efficient bus usage.
The 82541PI/GI/EI uses efficient ring buffer descriptor data structures, with up to 64 packet
descriptors cached on chip. A lar ge 64-KByte onchip packet b uffer maintains superior performance
as available PCI bandwidth changes. In addition, using hardware acceleration, the controller
offloads tasks from the host controller, such as TCP/UDP/IP checksum calculations and TCP
segmentation.
The 82541PI/GI/EI is packaged in a 15 mm x 15 mm 196-ball grid array and is pin compatible with
the 82551QM 10/100 Mbps Fast Ethernet Multifunction PCI/CardBus Controller, 82562EZ/
82562EX Platform LAN Connect devices, the 82540EM Gigabit Ethern et Controller and the
82540EP Gigabit Ethernet Controller.
1.1 Document Scope
The 82541EI is the original device and is no w being manufactured in a B-0 stepping. The 82541GI
(B-1 stepping) and 82541PI (C-0 stepping) are pin compatible, howe ver, a different Intel software
dri ver is required from the 82541EI. This document contains datasheet specifications for the
82541PI/GI/EI Gigabit Ethernet Controllers including signal descriptions, DC and AC parameters,
packaging data, and pinout inform ation.

3.0 Signal Descriptions
3.1 Signal Type Definitions
The signals of the 82541PI/GI/EI controller are electrically defined as follows:
3.2 PCI Bus Interface Signals (56)
When the Reset signal (RST#) is asserted, the 82541PI/GI/EI will not drive any PCI output or bi-
directional pins. The Power Management Event signal (PME#) can be active by configuring
manageability functions.
Name Definition
IInput. Standard input only digital signal.
OOutput. Standard output only digital signal.
TS Tri-state. Bi-directional tri-state digital input/output signal.
STS
Sustained Tri-state. An active low tri-state signal owned and driven by only one agent at a
time. The agent that drives an STS pin low must driv e it high f or at least one clock bef ore letting
it float. A new agent cannot start driving an STS signal any sooner than one clock after the
prev ious owner tri-states it. A pullup is required to sustain the inactive state until another agent
drives it, and must be provided by the central resource.
OD
Open Drain. Wired-OR with other agents.
The signaling agent asserts the OD signal, but the signal is returned to the inactive state by a
weak pull-up resistor . The pull-up resistor ma y require two or three clock periods to fully restore
the signal to the de-asserted state.
AAnalog. PHY analog data signal.
PPower. Power connection, voltage reference, or other reference connection.
82541 Family of Gigabit Etherne t Controllers
10 Datasheet
3.2.1 PCI Address, Data and Control Signals (44)
Symbol Type Name and Function
AD[31:0] TS
Address and Data. Address and data signals are multiplexed on the same PCI pins. A
bus transaction includes an address phase followed by one or more data phases.
The address phase is the clock cycle when the Frame signal (FRAME#) is asserted
low. During the address phase AD[31:0] contain a physical address (32 bits). For I/O,
this is a byte address, and for configuration and memory, a DWORD address. The
82541PI/GI/EI device uses little endian byte ordering.
During data phases, AD[7:0] contain the least significant byte (LSB) and AD[31:24]
contain the most significant byte (MSB).
CBE[3:0]# TS
Bus Command and Byte Enables. Bus command and byte enable signals are
multiplexed on the same PCI pins. During the address phase of a transaction,
CBE[3:0]# define the bus command. In the data phase, CBE[3:0]# are used as byte
enables. The b yte enab les are v alid f or the entire data phase and determine which byte
lanes contain meaningful data.
CBE0# applies to byte 0 (LSB) and CBE3# applies to byte 3 (MSB).
PAR TS
Parity . The Parity signal is issued to implement even parity across AD[31:0] and
CBE[3:0]#. PAR is stable and valid one clock after the address phase. During data
phases, PAR is stable and valid one clock after either IRDY# is asserted on a write
transaction or TRDY# is asserted after a read transaction. Once PAR is v alid, it remains
valid until one clock after the completion of the current data phase.
When the 82541PI/GI/EI controller is a bus master, it drives PAR for address and write
data phases, and as a slave device, drives PAR for read data phases.
FRAME# STS
Cycle Frame. The Frame signal is driven by the 82541PI/GI/EI device to indicate the
beginning and length of a bus transaction.
While FRAME# is asserted, data transf ers continue. FRAME# is de-asserted when the
transaction is in the final data phase.
IRDY# STS
Initiator Ready. Initiator Ready indicates the ability of the 82541PI/GI/EI controller (as
a bus master device) to complete the current data phase of the transaction. IRDY# is
used in conjunction with the Target Ready signal (TRDY#). The data phase is
completed on any clock when both IRDY# and TRDY# are asserted.
During the write cycle, IRDY# indicates that valid data is present on AD[31:0]. For a
read cycle, it indicates the master is ready to accept data. Wait cycles are inserted until
both IRDY# and TRDY# are asserted together. The 82541PI/GI/EI controller drives
IRDY# when acting as a master and samples it when acting as a slave.
TRDY# STS
Target Ready. The Target Ready signal indicates the ability of the 82541PI/GI/EI
controller (as a selected device) to complete the current data phase of the transaction.
TRDY# is used in conjunction with the Initiator Ready signal (IRDY#). A data phase is
completed on any clock when both TRDY# and IRDY# are sampled asserted.
During a read cycle, TRDY# indicates that valid data is present on AD[31:0]. For a write
cycle, it indicates the target is ready to accept data. Wait cycles are inserted until both
IRDY# and TRDY# are asserted together. The 82541PI/GI/EI device drives TRDY#
when acting as a slave and samples it when acting as a master.
STOP# STS
Stop. The Stop signal indicates the current target is requesting the master to stop the
current transaction. As a slave, the 82541PI/GI/EI controller drives STOP# to request
the bus master to stop the transaction. As a master, the 82541PI/GI/EI controller
receives STOP# from the slave to stop the current transaction.

3.2.2 Arbitration Signals (2)
3.2.3 Interrupt Signal (1)
3.2.4 System Signals (4)
IDSEL# I Initialization Device Select. The Initialization Device Select signal is used by the
82541PI/GI/EI as a chip select signal during configuration read and write transactions.
DEVSEL# STS
Device Select. When the Device Select signal is activ ely driven by the 82541PI/GI/EI, it
signals notifies the bus master that it has decoded its address as the target of the
current access. As an input, DEVSEL# indicates whether any device on the bus has
been selected.
VIO P
VIO. The VIO signal is a voltage reference for the PCI interface (3.3 V or 5 V PCI
signaling environment). It is used as the clamping voltage.
Note: VIO should be connected to 3.3V Aux or 5V Aux in order to be compatible with
the PullUp clamps spec.
Symbol Type Name and Function
REQ# TS Request Bus. The Request Bus signal is used to request control of the bus from the
arbiter. This signal is point-to-point.
GNT# I Grant Bus. The Grant Bus signal notifies the 82541PI/GI/EI that bus access has been
granted. This is a point-to-point signal.
Symbol Type Name and Function
INTA# TS Interrupt A. Interrupt A is used to request an interrupt of the 82541PI/GI/EI. It is an
active low, level-triggered interrupt signal.
Symbol Type Name and Function
CLK I
PCI Clock. The PCI Clock signal provides timing for all transactions on the PCI bus and
is an input to the 82541PI/GI/EI device. All other PCI signals, except the Interrupt A
(INTA#) and PCI Reset signal (RST#), are sampled on the rising edge of CLK. All other
timing parameters are defined with respect to this edge.
M66EN I 66 MHz Enable. M66EN indicates whether t he system bus is enabled for 66MHz
RST# I
PCI Reset. When the PCI Reset signal is asserted, all PCI output signals, except the
Power Management Event signal (PME#), are floated and all input signals are ignored.
The PME# context is preserved, depending on power management settings.
Most of the internal state of the 82541PI/GI/EI is reset on the de-assertion (rising edge)
of RST#.
CLKRUN# I/O
OD
Clock Run.. This signal is used by the system to pause the PCI clock signal. It is used
by the 82541PI/GI/EI controller to request the PCI clock. When the CLKRUN# f eature is
disabled, leave this pin unconnected.

3.2.5 Error Reporting Signals (2)
3.2.6 Power Management Signals (3)
3.2.7 SMB Signals (3)
Note: If the SMB is disconnected, then an external pullup should be used for these pins.
Symbol Type Name and Function
SERR# OD System Error. The System Error signal is used by the 82541PI/GI/EI controller to
report address parity errors. SERR# is open drain and is actively driven f or a single PCI
clock when reporting the error.
PERR# STS
Parity Error. The Parity Error signal is used by the 82541PI/GI/EI controller to report
data parity errors during all PCI transactions except by a Special Cycle. PERR# is
sustained tri-state and must be driven active by the 82541PI/GI/EI controller two data
clocks after a data parity error is detected. The minimum duration of PERR# is one
clock for each data phase a data parity error is present.
Symbol Type Name and Function
LAN_
PWRGD IPower Good (Power-on Reset). The Power Good signal is used to indicate that stable
power is available for the 82541PI/GI/EI. When the signal is low, the 82541PI/GI/EI
holds itself in reset state and floats all PCI signals.
PME# OD
Power Management Event. The 82541PI/GI/EI device drives this signal low when it
receives a wake-up event and either the PME Enable bit in the Power Management
Control/Status Register or the Advanced Power Management Enab le (APME) bit of the
Wake-up Control Register (WUC) is 1b.
AUXPWR I Auxiliary Power. If the Auxiliary Power signal is high, then auxiliary power is available
and the 82541PI/GI/EI device should support the D3cold power state.
Symbol Type Name and Function
SMBCLK TS
OD SMB Clock. The SMB Clock signal is an open drain signal for serial SMB interface.
SMBDATA TS
OD SMB Data. The SMB Data signal is an open drain signal for serial SMB interface.
SMBALRT#
/PCI_PWR
GOOD TS
OD
Multiplexed pin: SMB Alert, PWRGOOD. The SMB Alert signal is open drain for
serial SMB interface. The signal acts as an interrupt pin of a slave device on the
SMBUS in TCO mode. (82559 mode).
In ASF mode, this signal acts as PWRGOOD input.

FLASH Serial Data Output / LAN Disable. This pin is an input from the FLASH
memory. Alternatively, the pin can be used to disable the LAN port from a system
GP (General Purpose) port. It has an internal pullup de vice. If the 82541PI/GI/EI is
not using Flash functionality, the pin should be connected to external pull-up
resistor.
If this pin is used as LAN_DISABLE#, the device goes to low power state and the
LAN port is disabled when the pin is sampled low on rising edge of PCI reset.

5.2 Thermal Specifications
The 82541PI/GI/EI device is specified for operation when the ambient temperature (TA) is within
the range of 0° C to 70 ° C.
TC (case temperature) is calculated using the equation:
TC = TA + P (θJA - θJC)
TJ (junction temperature) is calculated using the equation:
TJ = TA + P θJA
P (power consumption) is calculated by using the typical ICC, as indicated in Table 7 of Section 4.0,
and nominal VCC. The preliminary thermal resistances are shown in Table 13.
Thermal resistances are determined empirically with test devices mounted on standard thermal test
boards. Real system designs may have dif ferent characteristics due to board thickness, arr angement
of ground planes, and proximity of other components. The case temperature measurements should
be used to assure that the 82541PI/GI/EI device is operating under recommended conditions.
