This document provides information about the Intel 82559 Fast Ethernet Multifunction PCI/CardBus Controller, including design defects, errors, and features.
The Intel 82559 Fast Ethernet Multifunction PCI/CardBus Controller Stepping Information is a technical update issued in October 2004. It serves as an amendment to the original datasheet, addressing known design defects and errors referred to as errata that may cause the product to deviate from published specifications.
The document categorizes updates into Specification Changes, Errata, Specification Clarifications, and Documentation Changes. These sections cover modifications such as deep power-down current consumption values, receive packet truncation issues, and system management bus behaviors. It also provides identification information for various device stepping markings.
The current consumption in deep power-down mode should read 6.5 mA.
The accuracy value is +0.005% (50 PPM).
The EEPROM should operate at a frequency of at least 1 MHz.
