88E3016
Integrated 10/100 Fast Ethernet Transceiver
OVERVIEW
The Marvell® 88E3016 device is the fourth generation
Marvell® DSP-based physical layer transceiver for
Fast Ethernet applications. The device contains all the
active circuitry to convert data streams to and from a
Media Access Controller (MAC) and the physical
media. The 88E3016 device incorporates IEEE 802.3u
Auto-Negotiation in support of both 100BASE-TX and
10BASE-T networks over twisted-pair cable in full-
duplex or half-duplex mode.
The 88E3016 device supports the Reduced Gigabit
Media Independent Interface (RGMII).
The 88E3016 device features a mode of operation
supporting IEEE compliant 100BASE-FX fiber-optic
networks. Additionally, the 88E3016 device imple-
ments Far-End Fault Indication (FEFI) in order to pro-
vide a mechanism for transferring information from the
local station to the link partner that indicates a remote
fault has occurred in 100BASE-FX mode.
The 88E3016 device features the Marvell Virtual Cable
Tester® (VCT™) technology, which enables IT manag-
ers and networking equipment manufacturers to
remotely analyze the quality and characteristics of the
attached cable plant.
The 88E3016 device uses advanced mixed-signal pro-
cessing and power management techniques for
extremely low power dissipation and high port count
system integration. The 88E3016 device is manufac-
tured in an all CMOS process and packaged in a 64-
pin QFN package.
