82540EP — Networking Silicon
2.6

Additional Device Features

Four activity and link indication outputs that directly
drive LEDs
Programmable LED functionality
Internal PLL for clock generation can use a 25 MHz
crystal
JTAG (IEEE 1149.1) Test Access Port built in silicon
On-chip power control circuitry
Four software definable pins
Supports little endian byte ordering for both 32 and 64
bit systems and big endian byte ordering for 64 bit
systems
Two or three-pair cable downshift
Provides loopback capabilities
Minimal ballout change from the 82540EM
a. If applying the "low-power" EEPROM setting for the 82540EP chip, then only external voltage regulator circuits should be used
instead of the on-chip power control circuitry
