Broadcoms TruManage Technology Enables New Enterprise-Class PCs with Energy-Efficient, Cost Effective Client Manageability
--Dell and HP Deploy Systems Utilizing the Broadcom® NetXtreme BCM5761 Gigabit Ethernet Controller Featuring Standards-Based Remote Manageability

The BCM5761 is a fully integrated 10/100/1000BASE-T Gigabit Ethernet (GbE) media access control and physical layer transceiver solution for high-performance network applications. The BCM5761 combines a triple-speed, IEEE 802.3 compliant media access controller (MAC), PCI Express bus interface, on-chip buffer memory, and integrated physical layer transceiver in a single device. The BCM5761 is fabricated in a low-voltage silicon process, providing an ultralow power solution. By itself, the BCM5761 provides a complete single-chip GbE NIC or LOM solution. The BCM5761 includes a 10/100/1000-Mbps Ethernet MAC with full-duplex and half-duplex capability at all speeds. Support for the following 802.3 functions is featured in the MAC—VLAN tagging, Layer 2 priority encoding, and full-duplex flow control. The BCM5761 controller offers IPsec task offload capabilities compliant with Microsoft v2 logo requirements, which enables IT professionals to deploy IPsec technology on their existing network with no performance penalty and while maintaining low CPU utilization and high network capacity by offloading all the cryptographic processing to the hardware. With in-line offload architecture, the BCM5761 controller enables network security at an extremely low cost. With network topologies becoming more complex with increased mobility and remote workers, security threats are now more sophisticated with viruses and worms. IPsec protocols operate at the network layer and enable end-to-end authentication and encryption between clients and servers, allowing efficient network segmentation and isolation. The BCM5761 integrates an on-chip application processing engine (APE) with its runtime memory providing a complete web services-based management functionality via Broadcom’s TruManage technology. The single-chip highly integrated product offers a scalable and centralized architecture, which, combined with a highly optimized firmware and software, enables low-power, secure, fault-tolerant, and cost-effective implementation.
Target applications of the BCM5761: • Desktop and mobile PC LOM
