•
•
•
The highest level of silicon integration achieved for a five-port
10/100 Ethernet switch device
Enables a new generation of lower cost 10/100 switches in
much smaller form factors
•
•
Fourth generation switch on a chip
The BCM5325M integrates:
Utilizes field-proven industry-standard 10BASE-T/100BASE-
TX Fast Ethernet transceivers—lowering overall system
interoperability and reliability risks
•
•
•
•
Five transceivers (802.3u compliant)
Six media access controllers (802.x compliant)
128-KB packet buffer
•
•
•
•
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 switch fabric
•
•
•
Packet classification 802.1p QoS priority queues
Port-based VLAN
Port VLAN and 802.1p priority enables the switch to be
designed into a wide variety of applications
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
•
•
Supports up to 2K MAC addresses
Flow control: full-duplex (802.3x) and half-duplex options
supported
•
•
•
Internal oscillator circuit simplifies design and reduces
overall system cost
•
•
•
•
•
Supports automatic address learning and aging
Internal oscillator circuit
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
Typical power consumption: < 1.4W
128-pin PQFP package
Management features:
•
On-chip HP auto-MDI/MDIX feature automatically detects and
corrects for crossover cables and allows direct switch-to-
switch connection
•
•
Low-cost MIB AutocastTM function
Hardware support for Simple Network Management Protocol
(SNMP), Remote Network Monitoring (RMON) and Spanning
Tree
Low Cost Managed Five-Port 10/100 Smart Switch
