Broadcom BCM5708 [PNG, No Dust]

This is a Broadcom BCM5708 Ethernet controller. The server this was pulled from had two identical chips like this, so I only had to open one of them.

 

It appears to have been designed in 2006 and it uses 4X pcie lanes which you can see on the bottom right (light green blocks).

 

Here is the best documentation I could find: www.digchip.com/datasheets/parts/datasheet/072/BCM5708-pd...

 

This server was given to me by a friend and has enough chips to keep me busy for a while :)
