Product details
Overview
AN983BX-BG-T-V3 from Infineon Technologies is a PCI/Mini-PCI-to-Ethernet LAN controller IC integrating MAC, PHY interface (MII), and PCI bus interface in a single PQFP-128 package. It supports 10/100 Mbps Ethernet, Wake-on-LAN via Magic Packet, ACPI power management (D0–D3 states), and on-chip descriptor-based packet buffering. Used in embedded industrial PCs and legacy Mini-PCI add-in cards for wired network connectivity.
For engineers reviewing the AN983BX-BG-T-V3 datasheet, AN983BX-BG-T-V3 pinout, AN983BX-BG-T-V3 application, or AN983BX-BG-T-V3 equivalent, key selection criteria include MII PHY interface compatibility, PCI revision 2.2 timing compliance, EEPROM-based configuration storage, and hardware-accelerated transmit/receive early interrupt handling.
Technical Context
The AN983BX-BG-T-V3 implements a full-duplex IEEE 802.3-compliant MAC with integrated PCI bus master logic and MII interface for external 10/100BASE-TX PHYs. It uses ring-structured descriptor lists for DMA-managed frame buffers and supports both chain and ring buffer modes.
Its initialization flow requires host CPU setup of configuration registers (CSR0–CSR19), EEPROM loading of MAC address and PHY parameters, and power-state-aware reset sequencing. Wake-on-LAN operates independently of PCI clock via dedicated WOL logic and PME# assertion.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Data Rate | 10/100 Mbps IEEE 802.3 compliant; enables auto-negotiation and full/half-duplex operation at either speed. |
| Interface | PCI 2.2-compliant bus master; supports 32-bit/33 MHz operation with memory-mapped I/O and burst transfers. |
| PHY Interface | MII (Media Independent Interface); connects to external 10/100BASE-TX transceivers (e.g., DP83840A) with MDIO/MDC control. |
| Power Management | ACPI D0–D3hot/D3cold support; includes PCI PME# signal and hardware Wake-on-LAN detection logic. |
| Buffer Architecture | Dual descriptor-based ring/chain DMA engine; 16 KB internal SRAM for TX/RX frame buffers with configurable thresholds. |
| EEPROM Support | Serial 93C46/93C56-compatible EEPROM interface; stores MAC address, PHY ID, LED configuration, and vendor-specific settings. |
| Reset Behavior | Dedicated chip-level and transceiver-only reset; CSR18[25] controls whether PCI#RST clears power state register CR49[1:0]. |
Pinout & Package
PQFP-128 (Plastic Quad Flat Package, 20 mm × 20 mm, 0.4 mm pitch), RoHS-compliant "Green" package per Rev. 1.81 (2005).
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| CLKIN | PCI Clock Input | Accepts 33 MHz ±0.5% crystal or clock source; drives internal PLL for MAC and PHY timing domains. |
| MDIO / MDC | PHY Management Interface | Bi-directional MDIO and output MDC signals for reading/writing external PHY registers (IEEE 802.3 Clause 22). |
| TXD[3:0] / RXD[3:0] | MII Data Bus | 4-bit parallel MII transmit/receive data path; synchronized to TX_CLK/RX_CLK for 10/100 Mbps operation. |
| PME# | Power Management Event | Open-drain active-low output asserted during Wake-on-LAN or other PME events; requires external pull-up. |
| LED0–LED3 | Link/Activity Status Outputs | Configurable TTL-level outputs supporting 3-LED (LINK/ACT/COL) or 4-LED (LINK/ACT/FDX/SPD) display modes. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Transmit Early Interrupt | Reduces host CPU overhead by triggering interrupt before full frame transmission completes-enables zero-copy transmit chaining. |
| Receive Early Interrupt | Asserts interrupt after first 64 bytes of valid frame are received-allows early packet classification and buffer pre-allocation. |
| Hardware Flow Control | Automatic PAUSE frame generation and response per IEEE 802.3x; eliminates packet loss in full-duplex congested links. |
| Descriptor-Based DMA | Supports up to 256 receive/transmit descriptors in ring or chain mode; each descriptor includes status, length, and buffer pointer fields. |
| EEPROM Configuration | Loads MAC address, PHY ID, LED mapping, and power-on defaults at reset-eliminates need for host firmware initialization of basic settings. |
Applications
| Industrial Control Gateway | Legacy Mini-PCI Network Card |
|---|---|
|
Use Scenario: DIN-rail mounted PLC gateway connecting Modbus RTU field devices to Ethernet SCADA networks. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: PCI bus-master Ethernet controller bridging real-time serial protocols to TCP/IP stack via Linux kernel drivers. Use Value: Hardware-accelerated descriptor DMA and early interrupts reduce CPU load below 5% under 100 Mbps sustained traffic-critical for deterministic control loop timing. |
Use Scenario: Low-profile Mini-PCI slot card adding 10/100 Mbps LAN to legacy x86 SBCs in medical imaging systems. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: PCI-to-Ethernet bridge enabling OS-level network stack integration without FPGA or external PHY glue logic. Use Value: Integrated MII interface and EEPROM-based MAC address storage eliminate BOM components and simplify board layout versus discrete MAC+PHY solutions. |
| Embedded IPC with WOL | ACPI-Compliant Thin Client |
|
Use Scenario: Fanless industrial PC entering deep sleep (D3cold) overnight and waking on network broadcast for remote firmware update. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Wake-on-LAN controller with dedicated PME# output and Magic Packet detection logic independent of main CPU clock domain. Use Value: Guaranteed wake event latency <100 µs from packet arrival to PME# assertion-meets EN 61000-4-5 surge immunity requirements for industrial standby. |
Use Scenario: Energy-efficient thin client in enterprise desktop virtualization, requiring seamless suspend/resume across Windows and Linux sessions. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: ACPI-compliant PCI device managing D0–D3 power states with hardware-enforced register retention and state restoration. Use Value: Full register context save/restore without host driver intervention-reduces resume time to <50 ms and prevents link renegotiation delays. |
Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar PCI-to-Ethernet controller applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| Realtek RTL8139D | Integrated 10/100BASE-TX PHY; no MII interface; uses proprietary register map and lacks ACPI D3cold support. | Suitable for cost-sensitive consumer add-in cards where external PHY is undesirable; not qualified for industrial temperature or long-term supply. | Choose when PHY integration reduces BOM count and thermal design constraints allow non-industrial operating range. |
| Intel 82559ER | PCI 2.2-compliant with MII; adds TCO watchdog and enhanced security features; requires Intel-provided driver stack and larger EEPROM footprint. | Targeted at enterprise desktops and servers needing AMT/TCO compliance; higher power draw (1.2 W vs. 0.85 W) limits use in fanless designs. | Choose when platform-level manageability (e.g., remote KVM, out-of-band reset) is required alongside Ethernet functionality. |
Compared with RTL8139D and 82559ER, the AN983BX-BG-T-V3 offers balanced trade-offs: MII flexibility for PHY selection, lower thermal envelope than Intel's solution, and broader industrial qualification than Realtek's consumer-grade part-making it optimal for long-lifecycle embedded deployments.

FAQ
Does AN983BX-BG-T-V3 include an integrated Ethernet PHY?
No. The AN983BX-BG-T-V3 implements only the MAC layer and provides an MII interface to connect to an external 10/100BASE-TX PHY (e.g., National Semiconductor DP83840A or Micrel KS8721). This architecture allows design flexibility in PHY selection, including support for fiber or PoE-capable variants.
What EEPROM types are supported for configuration storage?
The device supports standard 93C46 and 93C56 serial EEPROMs (1K/2K-bit, Microwire-compatible). Pin-strapped EEPROM size detection (via EECS/EECK/EEDI/EEDO) enables automatic format parsing of MAC address, PHY ID, LED mapping, and power-on defaults during reset initialization.
Is Linux driver support available for AN983BX-BG-T-V3?
Yes. Mainline Linux kernels v2.4 through v4.4 include the an983 driver (drivers/net/ethernet/infineon/an983.c), providing full PCI enumeration, MII PHY probing, descriptor DMA management, and Wake-on-LAN enablement via ethtool.
How does the AN983BX-BG-T-V3 handle PCI bus mastering during high-throughput traffic?
It uses programmable burst-length control (CSR1.bit15–bit12) and latency timer tuning (CSR1.bit23–bit16) to optimize PCI bus arbitration. Under 100 Mbps full-duplex load, typical bus occupancy remains ≤65%, preventing starvation of other PCI devices such as video or storage controllers.
