Intel i350 Ethernet Controllers

Intel's i350 Ethernet Controllers are a single, compact, low-power component that supports quad port and dual port gigabit Ethernet designs. The device offers four fully-integrated gigabit Ethernet media access control (MAC), physical layer (PHY) ports and four SGMII/SerDes ports that can be connected to an external PHY. The I350 supports PCI Express (PCIe v2.1 (2.5GT/s and 5GT/s)). The device enables two-port or four port 1000BASE-T implementations using integrated PHY's. It can be used for server system configurations such as rack mounted or pedestal servers, in an ad-on NIC or LAN on Motherboard (LOM) design. Another possible system configuration is for blade servers where the i350 can support up to 4 SerDes ports as LOM or mezzanine card. It can also be used in embedded applications such as switch add-on cards and network appliances.
