RTL8153B-VB
Datasheet
1. General Description
The Realtek RTL8153B-VB-CG 10/100/1000M Ethernet controller combines a triple-speed IEEE 802.3
compliant Media Access Controller (MAC) with a triple-speed Ethernet transceiver, USB 3.0 bus
controller, and embedded memory. With state-of-the-art DSP technology and mixed-mode signal
technology, the RTL8153B-VB 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 RTL8153B-VB features
embedded One-Time-Programmable (OTP) memory
the external EEPROM
(93C46/93C56/93C66).
that can replace
The RTL8153B-VB features USB 3.0 to provide higher bandwidth and improved protocols for data
exchange between the host and the device. USB 3.0 also offers more advanced power management
features for energy saving.
Advanced Configuration Power management Interface (ACPI)—power management for modern
operating systems that are capable of Operating System-directed Power Management (OSPM)—is
supported to achieve the most efficient power management possible. 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.

The RTL8153B-VB supports Microsoft Wake Packet Detection (WPD) to provide Wake-Up Frame
information to the OS, e.g., PatternID, OriginalPacketSize, SavedPacketSize, SavedPacketOffset, etc.
WPD helps prevent unwanted/unauthorized wake-up of a sleeping computer.
The RTL8153B-VB supports ‘RealWoW!’ technology to enable remote wake-up of a sleeping PC
through the Internet. This feature allows PCs to reduce power consumption by remaining in low power
sleeping state until needed.
Note: The ‘RealWoW!’ service requires registration on first time use.
s C
n i c
The RTL8153B-VB supports Protocol offload. It offloads some of the most common protocols to NIC
hardware in order to prevent spurious wake-up and further reduce power consumption. The
RTL8153B-VB can offload ARP (IPv4) and NS (IPv6) protocols while in the D3 power saving state.
The RTL8153B-VB supports the ECMA (European Computer Manufacturers Association) proxy for
sleeping hosts standard. 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. Required and optional
behavior of an operating proxy includes generating reply packets, ignoring packets, and waking the host.

RTL8153B-VB
Datasheet
The RTL8153B-VB supports IEEE 802.3az-2010, also known as Energy Efficient Ethernet (EEE). IEEE
802.3az-2010 operates with the IEEE 802.3 Media Access Control (MAC) Sublayer to support operation
in Low Power Idle mode. When the Ethernet network is in low link utilization, EEE allows systems on
both sides of the link to save power.
The RTL8153B-VB is fully compliant with Microsoft NDIS5, NDIS6 (IPv4, IPv6, TCP, UDP)
Checksum features, and supports IEEE 802 IP Layer 2 priority encoding and IEEE 802.1Q Virtual
bridged Local Area Network (VLAN). The above features contribute to lowering CPU utilization,
especially benefiting performance when in operation on a network server.
The RTL8153B-VB is suitable for multiple market segments and emerging applications, such as desktop,
mobile, workstation, server, communications platforms, docking station, and embedded applications.
