1.3 BCM57414 Ethernet Controller

The BCM57414 Ethernet controller is configured as dual-port 25 Gb/s MAC with integrated SFP28 optical interface to the
line side and x8 PCI Express v3.0 interface to the system host.

1.4 PCI Express Interface

PCIe is a high-bandwidth serial bus providing a low pin-count interface as an alternative to parallel PCI. It is part of the host
interface connector. The BCM57414 complies with the PCI Express Base Specification Revision 3.0, and supports an 8-lane
PCIe 3.0 interface via the host interface connector.

1.5 NC-SI Interface

The BCM57414 Ethernet controller supports the Network Controller Sideband Interface (NC-SI) Specification version 1.1.0.
The NC-SI provides a standardized interface between the system baseboard management controller (BMC) and the
integrated NC-SI module of the BCM57414.

1.6 SMBus Interface

The BCM57414 Ethernet Controller SMB0 interface supports serial communications between the BCM57414 and the
system. The interface allows the Ethernet controller to act as an SMBus host or client device.

1.7 Nonvolatile RAM

The BCM57414 Ethernet controller requires a nonvolatile serial flash memory (NVRAM) to store the device firmware, PCI
configuration space settings (for example, device ID, vendor ID), MAC address, and so on. After power-up, the firmware is
downloaded into the device memory and executed by the on-chip processor.

1.8 Heat Sink

The passive heat sink is attached to the Ethernet controller using four spring-loaded push pins that insert into four mounting
holes.

To prevent damage to the BCM57414 Ethernet controller in the event of a missing heat sink, the network adapter is not
allowed to power up.

1.9 Power Supplies

All power is derived from the network adapter host interface connector 12V and 3.3V supply which feeds the onboard
regulators that provide the necessary power to the various components on the network adapter. The network adapter has
six switching voltage regulators that power the card’s various +1.0V, +1.25V, +1.8V, and +3.3V loads.

2 Regulatory and Safety Approvals

The BCM957414N4140C network adapter meets the regulatory of OCP 3.0 Design Specification. For additional information
on required compliance including environmental, EMC, Product Safety, and immunity (ESD), reference the OCP 3.0 Design
Specification.

3 Board Power and Environmental Specifications

Table 3 provides the adapter power consumption.

a. Power consumption of adapter at 55°C ambient temperature.
b. Power consumption of adapter is measured using a Broadcom AFBR-735SMZ power level 1 optical transceiver. The total adapter power may
vary with different optical transceivers.

Table 4 provides the adapter environmental specifications. The system designer may deploy methods to monitor the
BCM57414 junction temperature (Tj) and provide sufficient airflow for keeping Tj below 105°C during normal operation. The
Broadcom AFBR-735SMZ active transceiver is recommended for the application.
