BCM5752

Description

The BCM5752 NetXtreme® Gigabit Ethernet (GbE) controller includes integrated Trusted Platform Module (TPM) 1.2 functionality. With today's corporations increasingly exposed to data theft and unauthorized access, standards-based TPM security has become a cornerstone solution for the IT community. Integrating TPM security into NetXtreme GbE controller chips enables PC OEMs to offer this high level of security as a standard feature on all enterprise client personal computers.

With BCM5752 included as a standard component on almost all enterprise PCs, integration of BCM5752 enables this level of PC security to be placed on motherboards at negligible incremental costs. Additionally, platforms with TPM 1.2 hardware will be ready for enhanced security functionality in the next Microsoft OS (code named Longhorn), expected to ship in 2006.

The BCM5752 is designed for enterprise desktop PCs and is based on the industry's most widely deployed media access controller (MAC) and physical layer (PHY) device architectures. As a result, IT managers can rely on field proven technology that offers more uptime and lower support costs than other less proven network controller solutions.
