TWO-PORT 10GBASE-T TRANSCEIVER
Overview
Highlights
• The BCM84833 is a new member of the Broadcom 40 nm
10GBASE-T PHY family.
Features
The Broadcom® BCM84833 is a complete dual
100BASE-TX, 1000BASE-T, and 10GBASE-T solution
operating at 100m over CAT6a UTP cable. It is
based on highly advanced digital signal processorbased architecture to allow robust operation over
worst case UTP cables. The BCM84833 is a highly
integrated solution combining enhanced analog
front ends with digital adaptive equalizers, ADCs,
phase-locked loops, line drivers, LDPC encoders
and decoders, echo cancellers, crosstalk cancellers,
and all required support circuitry.
• Devices based on the 40 nm process offer an excellent long-term
cost curve, enabling better cost
reduction over time compared
to legacy technologies.
• EEE provides significant power
reduction with AutogrEEEn
delivering EEE for legacy MACs.
• Optimized to enable switch, controller, and other general 10Gigabit Ethernet (GbE) connectivity applications.
• Simplified systems design with
only two supplies and with no
external MDI components.
• Broadcom enhanced cable diag-
Summary of Benefits
• Simplifies system and board design:
– Reduces PCB space
– Lowers system bill of materials (BOM)
• IEEE standard device interoperability: 100
Mbps, 1000 Mbps, and 10 Gbps.
• Compatible with standard Ethernet MACs.
• Cuts design constraints to meet EMI standards.
• Cable diagnostics identifies cable plant condition to immediately trace cabling issues.
• Operates with larger packets for increasedscale packet protocol support and efficiency.
nostics estimates cable length
and detects cable or termination
anomalies.
• IEEE 1588 Precision Time Proto-
• Highly integrated two-port 10GBASE-T Ethernet transceiver.
• Supports multiple speeds: 100BASE-TX and
1000BASE-T
• XAUI™, XFI, and SGMII MAC interface options
• Compliant with IEEE 802.3™, IEEE 802.3an,
IEEE 802.3ab, IEEE 802.3u, and IEEE 802.3az
standards.
• AutogrEEEn® permits legacy MACs to enjoy
the power savings of EEE in periods of reduced
link utilization.
• Synchronous Ethernet support
• Low electromagnetic interference (EMI) emissions
• Line-side XAUI enables dual-media applications
• Cable plant diagnostics
• IEEE standard 1588-2008 (version 2) support
• Detection and correction of pair swaps (MDI
crossover), pair skew, and pair polarity.
• Support for jumbo packets up to 18 KB.
• Super-Isolate mode to completely disable
selected port.
• IEEE 1149.1 (JTAG) boundary scan
• Extensive selection of both line and network
side loopbacks.
• 576-pin FBGA 25 mm x 25 mm package
col (PTP) provides precise and
accurate synchronization of
nodes in the network.

Shared Functions
BCM84833 Block Diagram for Each Port
Each BCM84833 port contains one XFI
interface to connect to the MAC side and
two XAUI ports. One interface connects
to the MAC side, with the other available
on the line side to support dual-media
applications. This dual-port enables customers to design dual-port PCIe™ NICs
and full-featured dual-media 10GBASE-T
ports in switching applications.
The 40 nm process offers the best performance, lowest cost, and lowest power for
10-Gigabit copper applications and
enables a highly integrated solution.
The BCM84833 incorporates various
advanced features. A link quality indica-

tor LED provides instant notification of
any problems with the wiring plant operating at the desired speed. These problems include physical wiring defects that
the BCM84833 cannot automatically correct and channel conditions such as
excessive cable length and return loss,
crosstalk, echo, and noise.
