PM3390
Octal EXACT™ Bus Switch Matrix
• Each chip supports the EXACT Bus
Protocol, which is a 10-bit,
PACKAGING
FEATURES
• Provides a standard five signal
P1149.1 JTAG test port for boundary
scan board test purposes.
• Implemented in low power 3.3 V,
CMOS technology.
• Sixteen Gbit/s, protocol-independent
switching matrix expandable to 32 Gbit/s.
• Provides eight gigabit, full-duplex
EXACT™ Bus ports that each support an
EXACT switch port controller.
• Provides non-blocking connection
between eight EXACT Bus (Ethernet
Switching, Access, Control, and
unidirectional insertion ring running at
125 MHz or 135 MHz.
• EXACT Bus ports allow simple box-to-
box, card-to-card, or chip-to-chip
interconnect.
• 8B/10B EXACT Bus encoding is
compatible with Common Serialization
(SERDES) devices to allow serial
extension using coax or twinax cable.
• Management interface connects to an
off-chip microprocessor for access to
internal control registers.
• Available in a 352-pin Ball Grid Array
(BGA) package.
APPLICATIONS
• High Bandwidth (16 to 32 Gbit/s)
Ethernet Switches that Support
Combinations of 10/100/1000 Ports.
• Multiprotocol Switch (Ethernet, ATM,
Packet Over SONET, FDDI, and TR)
• Modular Ethernet Switches.
Termination) rings.
• Supports non-blocking connections
between sixteen EXACT Bus rings to
provide a system bandwidth of
32 Gbit/s using four PM3390 devices.
• Destination lookup table maps logical
EXACT ports to physical PM3390 ports.
Destination lookup table can be
COMPATIBILITY

dynamically allocated.
PM3370 Octal 10/100 Ethernet Switch
Port Controller with MII interfaces.
• Provides visibility into internal dataflow to
allow external flow control in systems that
do not use the EXACT Bus link protocol.
