A short summary of RTL8139D features follows:
- Integrated Fast Ethernet MAC, Physical chip and transceiver in one chip
- 10 Mb/s and 100 Mb/s operation
- Supports 10 Mb/s and 100 Mb/s N-way Auto-negotiation operation
- Supports PCI multi-function capabilities
- PCI local bus single-chip Fast Ethernet controller
- Supports 25MHz crystal or 25MHz OSC as the internal clock source. The frequency deviation of either crystal or OSC must be within 50 PPM.
- Compliant to PC99 and PC2001 standards
- Supports Wake-On-LAN function and remote wake-up (Magic Packet*, LinkChg and Microsoft® wake-up frame)
- Supports 4 Wake-On-LAN (WOL) signals (active high, active low, positive pulse, and negative pulse)
- Supports auxiliary power-on internal reset, to be ready for remote wake-up when main power remains off
- Supports auxiliary power auto-detect, and sets the related capability of power management registers in PCI configuration space
- Includes a programmable, PCI burst size and early Tx/Rx threshold
- Supports a 32-bit general-purpose timer with the external PCI clock as clock source, to generate timer-interrupt
- Contains two large (2Kbyte) independent receive and transmit FIFO's
- Advanced power saving mode when LAN function or wakeup function is not used
- Uses 93C46 (64*16-bit EEPROM) to store resource configuration, ID parameter, and VPD data
- Supports LED pins for various network activity indications
- Supports loopback capability
- Half/Full duplex capability
- Supports Full Duplex Flow Control (IEEE 802.3x)
- 3.3V power supply with 5V I/O tolerance
- Provides up to 128K-byte Boot ROM and PCI share interface for both EPROM and Flash Memory
- 0.25u CMOS process
Windows / Linux Drivers are discussed in a separate sections of this forum called "Fast Ethernet Driver (Windows / Linux)".
