BCM5328M
®
EIGHT-PORT 10/100 SWITCH WITH ON-CHIP PACKET BUFFER
FEATURES
•
The highest level of silicon integration achieved for a eight-
port 10/100 Ethernet switch device
SUMMARY OF BENEFITS
•
Enables a new generation of lower cost 10/100 switches in
much smaller form factors
•
Fourth generation switch on a chip
•
The BCM5328M integrates:
•
•
•
•
Eight transceivers (802.3u compliant)
Nine media access controllers (802.x compliant)
256-KB packet buffer
Non-blocking switch fabric
•
Utilizes field-proven industry-standard 10BASE-T/100BASE-
TX Fast Ethernet transceivers—lowering overall system
interoperability and reliability risks
•
Flexible interfaces support a wider variety of application
needs—fiber for long distances or an additional 100TX port
•
Sufficient address range handles all remote office, branch
office and home office needs
•
Non-blocking up to 24 ports through a 2.6-Gbps expansion
port, cascading up to three devices
•
Port VLAN, trunking, and 802.1p priority enables the switch to
be designed into a wide variety of applications
•
Packet classification 802.1p QoS priority queues
•
Port-based VLAN
•
MII or 7-wire interface supports an additional 100FX or 100TX
connection enabling a sixth user connection or uplink
•
CPUs are not required to initialize and run in cost-sensitive
unmanaged applications—providing true Plug and Play
connectivity
•

•
•
Internal oscillator circuit simplifies design and reduces
overall system cost
Supports up to 4K MAC addresses
Supports full-duplex (802.3x) and half-duplex options
Supports automatic address learning and aging
Internal oscillator circuit
Typical power consumption: < 1.8W
208-pin PQFP package
Management features:
•
•
Low-cost MIB Autocast
TM
function
Hardware support for Simple Network Management Protocol
(SNMP), Remote Network Monitoring (RMON) and Spanning
Tree
•
Ability to gather and support basic management statistics
with only a very low-cost microcontroller
•
Low-cost management using the on-chip MIB registers allows
the collection and transmission of statistics for each port and
provides an upward migration path for corporate users
•
On-chip HP auto-MDI/MDIX feature automatically detects and
corrects for crossover cables and allows direct switch-to-
switch connection
Low Cost Managed 24-Port 10/100 Smart Switch
