88E1510-A0-NNB2C000

Overview

The Marvell 88E1510-A0-NNB2C000 is a single-port Gigabit Ethernet transceiver implementing the physical layer for 10/100/1000BASE-T standards. It features an RGMII interface and supports IEEE 802.3az Energy Efficient Ethernet (EEE). The device integrates MDI termination resistors and utilizes a switching voltage regulator to operate from a single 3.3V supply, while supporting 1.8V, 2.5V, or 3.3V LVCMOS I/O standards. It includes Synchronous Ethernet clock recovery and IEEE 1588v2 time stamping. Manufactured in a 48-pin QFN package, it operates within a commercial temperature range of 0°C to +70°C.

Feature Summary

• Supports four RGMII timing modes with integrated delays to eliminate PCB trace delay requirements.
• Integrates calibrated MDI termination resistors to reduce external component count and simplify board layout.
• Includes advanced digital adaptive equalizers, echo cancellers, and crosstalk cancellers for robust performance.
• Features Advanced Virtual Cable Tester technology for remote identification of cable malfunctions.

Applications

• Enterprise network switches
• Industrial routers and gateways
• Embedded networking systems

Procurement Notes

Verify that the specific ordering suffix matches the required I/O voltage standard and operating temperature grade. Confirm the package type corresponds to the design footprint. Ensure compliance with RoHS directives before finalizing procurement orders.

Selection Notes

Select this model when a single-port solution with RGMII connectivity is required. Verify compatibility with the target MAC's I/O voltage levels. Consider alternative variants if SGMII media-side interfaces or industrial temperature ranges are necessary.

Part Context

This component belongs to the Marvell Alaska 88E151x series of integrated Ethernet transceivers. The series provides scalable solutions for various port configurations and interface requirements across commercial and industrial environments.

Replacement Considerations

The 88E1518-A0-NNB2C000 serves as a functional substitute within the same family. Verify that the replacement variant meets the specific I/O voltage and thermal requirements of the application.

FAQ

Does the 88E1510 support SGMII on the media side?

No, the 88E1510 only supports RGMII to Copper connections. SGMII media-side functionality is available on the 88E1512 and 88E1514 models.

What power supply configuration does the device use?

The device can run off a single 3.3V supply using its integrated switching voltage regulator. The I/O pads support 1.8V, 2.5V, or 3.3V LVCMOS standards.

How does the device handle cable diagnostics?

It incorporates the Advanced Virtual Cable Tester feature, which uses Time Domain Reflectometry to detect and report issues such as pair swaps, opens, shorts, and impedance mismatches.
