Introduction

The GE-PCI3201 is Gigabit Ethernet to PCI NIC (Network Interface Card).

The GE-PCI3201 combine a triple-speed IEEE 802.3 compliant Media Access Controller (MAC) with a triple-speed Ethernet transceiver, 32-bit PCI bus controller, and embedded memory. With state-of-the-art DSP technology and mixed-mode signal technology, they offer high-speed transmission over CAT 5 UTP cable or CAT 3 UTP (10Mbps only) cable. Functions such as Crossover Detection & Auto-Correction, polarity correction, adaptive equalization, cross-talk cancellation, echo cancellation, timing recovery, and error correction are implemented to provide robust transmission and reception capability at high speeds.
Technical Specifications
PCI Host Bus:
  • Supports 32bit, 33/66MHz
  • Compliant with PCI Specification, Revision 2.3
  • 3.3-V and 5-V PCI Signaling Environments
  • Supports 64-bit addressing
  • Low-Profile PCI Form factor
Gigabit Feature
  • Integrated 10/100/1000 transceiver
  • Auto-Negotiation with Next page capability
  • Supports pair swap/polarity/skew correction
  • Crossover Detection & Auto-Correction
