Marvell Alaska 88E3082/88E3083 Integrated 8-Port 10/100BASE-T Fast Ethernet Transceivers PRODUCT OVERVIEW The Marvell Alaska 88E3082 and 88E3083 are third-generation Marvell DSP-based 8-port 10/100BASE-T Fast Ethernet (FE) transceivers. They offer the industrys lowest power consumption at only 150mW per port, resulting in higher port density, lower cost FE switches. Additionally, the 88E3082 and 88E3083 integrate the industrys most advanced FE transceiver feature set, such as Marvells Virtual Cable Tester (VCT) technology for remote cable diagnostics and support for very low power modes. The Alaska 88E3082 and 88E3083 contain all of the active circuitry to convert data streams to and from eight Media Access Controllers (MACs) and to and from the physical media. In addition, both devices incorporate 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. To reduce the number of input/output (I/O) pins between the MAC and the Physical Layer (PHY), the 88E3082 supports the Reduced Media Independent Interface (RMII), the Serial Media Independent Interface (SMII), and the source-synchronous option of SMII (SSSMII). The SSSMII interface extends the allowed PCB trace distance between the PHY and the MAC, thereby facilitating more robust, higher port density FE switch designs. The 88E3083 supports the SMII and SSSMII interfaces. The 88E3082 also features a mode of operation supporting IEEE-compliant 100BASE-FX bfi er-optic networks. The device includes a PECL interface that is selectable on a per-port basis for 100BASE-FX applications. The 88E3083 supports 100BASE-FX fiber on a single port.
