¡El Realtek RTL8117AP-CG 10/100/1000M Ethernet controller combines a triple-speed IEEE 802.3 compatible Media Access Controller (MAC) with a triple-speed Ethernet transceiver, PCI Express bus controller, and embedded memory. ¡El RTL8117AP supports USB (Universal Serial Bus) 2.0 Host. It has full backward compatibility for USB 1.0/1.1. It can function normally using auxiliary power. ¡El RTL8117AP provides the function of PCIe HOST. ¡El PCIe HOST supports Realtek’s PCIe WLAN NIC. With state-of-the-art DSP technology and mixed-mode signal technology, the RTL8117AP offers high-speed transmission over CAT 5 UTP cable or CAT 3 UTP (10Mbps only) cable. Functions such as Crossover Detection and Auto-Correction, polarity correction, adaptive equalization, cross-talk cancellation, echo cancellation, timing recovery, and error correction are implemented to provide robust transmission and reception capability at high speeds. ¡El RTL8117AP is compatible with the IEEE 802.3u specification for 10/100Mbps Ethernet and the IEEE 802.3ab specification for 1000Mbps Ethernet. It also supports an auxiliary power auto-detect function, and will auto-configure related bits of the PCI power management registers in PCI configuration space.
