The Realtek RTL8153-CG 10/100/1000M Ethernet Controller integrates an IEEE 802.3u-compliant Media Access Control (MAC), a USB 3.1 bus controller, and embedded memory. Leveraging advanced DSP technology and mixed-mode signal technology, the RTL8153 enables high-speed data transmission via CAT-5 UTP cables or CAT-3 UTP cables (for 10Mbps). It implements functions including crossover detection and auto-correction, skew correction, adaptive equalization, crosstalk cancellation, echo cancellation, timing recovery, and error correction to ensure robust transmitting and receiving capabilities.
The RTL8153 supports IEEE 802.3az-2010, also known as Energy-Efficient Ethernet (EEE). Operating in conjunction with the IEEE 802.3 Media Access Control (MAC) sublayer, IEEE 802.3az-2010 enables operation in a low-power idle mode. When the Ethernet network is under low link utilization, EEE allows systems on both sides of the link to save power.
Fully compatible with Microsoft NDIS5 and NDIS6 (IPv4, IPv6, TCP, UDP) checksum features, the RTL8153 also supports IEEE 802 Layer 2 IP priority encoding and IEEE 802.1Q Virtual Bridged Local Area Networks (VLAN). These features help reduce CPU utilization, which is particularly beneficial for performance when operating on network servers.
