Intel Corporation Intel® 82580DB Gigabit Ethernet Controller

The Intel® 82580 gigabit Ethernet controller is a single-chip low-power device that can provide significant bill of materials (BOM) savings by reducing the support components (bridge chips, crystals, and electrically erasable programmable read-only memory (EEPROM)) required when compared with dual-port or multiple single-port GbE designs. The Intel 82580 provides fully integrated gigabit Ethernet media access control (MAC), physical-layer (PHY), serializer-deseriali zer (SERDES), and serial gigabit media independent interface (SGMII) interface capabilities.
