With state-of-the-art DSP technology and mixed-mode signal technology, the RTL8153 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 capabilities.

The RTL8153 features embedded One-Time-Programmable (OTP) memory that can replace the external EEPROM (93C4693C5693C66TWSI).

In addition to the ACPI feature, remote wake-up (including AMD Magic Packet and Microsoft Wake-Up Frame) is supported in both ACPI and APM (Advanced Power Management) environments.

WPD helps prevent unwantedunauthorized wake-up of a sleeping computer.

The RTL8153 can offload ARP (IPv4) and NS (IPv6) protocols while in the D3 power saving state.

The standard specifies maintenance of network connectivity and presence via proxies in order to extend the sleep duration of higher-powered hosts.

It handles some network tasks on behalf of the host, allowing the host to remain in sleep mode for longer periods.

When the Ethernet network is in low link utilization, EEE allows systems on both sides of the link to save power.

The above features contribute to lowering CPU utilization, especially benefiting performance when in operation on a network server.
