Product Overview

LU82541ER is Intel single‑port Gigabit Ethernet Controller integrating MAC+PHY. It adopts 32‑bit PCI v2.3 bus, supports 10/100/1000Mbps. Packaged in lead‑free BGA‑196. This EOL IC is widely used for legacy industrial and embedded equipment repair replacement.

Core Advantages

Integrated MAC & PHY

Single‑chip MAC+PHY design, simplify PCB layout and lower BOM cost.

TCP/IP Hardware Offload

Hardware checksum offload reduces CPU load and improves network throughput.

Low‑Power Management

Supports PCI & ACPI power management for low active and standby power consumption.

Broad OS Compatibility

Native driver support for Windows, Linux and real‑time embedded OS for legacy systems.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q1: What does “LU” prefix mean for LU82541ER? Any difference with non‑LU 82541ER?

A: “LU” stands for lead‑free RoHS finish. Non‑LU version is tin‑lead, non‑RoHS. Pinout is identical, but soldering profile should match different plating finishes.

Q2: What host bus does LU82541ER use?

A: 32‑bit PCI v2.3 bus (33/66 MHz). It is NOT PCI‑Express compatible.

Q3: Do I need external PHY chip for LU82541ER?

A: No. MAC and 10/100/1000Mbps PHY are integrated inside single chip, connect directly to transformer and RJ‑45.

Q4: Can LU82541ER directly replace 82551ER or 82562EX?

A: Same BGA‑196 footprint, but register and PHY parameters differ. Full hardware‑software validation is required, not drop‑in ready.

Q5: How is LU82541ER different from PCI‑E gigabit controllers?

A: LU82541ER is legacy PCI device, only for old‑board repair. Modern PCI‑E IC delivers higher throughput and lower power, recommended for new designs.

Q6: What power supplies are required for this chip?

A: Three power rails:1.2V core(1.14‑1.26V),1.8V analog,3.3V I/O. Over‑voltage will permanently damage the IC.

Q7: Any cross‑brand pin‑to‑pin alternative for new projects?

A: No direct pin‑compatible cross‑brand replacement. For repair, use original LU82541ER. For new design, choose Realtek/Broadcom PCI‑E ethernet IC.

Q8: What soldering suggestion for LU82541ER BGA‑196?

A: LU suffix is lead‑free device, use lead‑free reflow profile. Avoid over‑temperature, excessive heat will degrade internal chip performance.

Q9: How to get datasheet, footprint or bulk quotation?

A: Submit inquiry form, our team will send datasheet, stock check and price within 24 hours.
