PACKAGING
PRIORITY
• Store-and-forward switching using
output associated input buffering for
efficient memory use without Head Of
Line (HOL) blocking.
• Provides a standard 5-signal P1149.1
JTAG test port for boundary scan
board test purposes.
• Class of service supported via IEEE
802.1D (formerly 802.1p) with two
levels of priority.
• Implemented in low power 3.3 V,
CMOS technology with 5 V tolerant MII
interface.
• Supports 8,000 MAC addresses.
VALUE ADD
• 1022 multicast groups available.
Bitmask per group defines
membership.
• Control and Management Interface
provides standard interface for non
real-time access to data structures
(such as SNMP and RMON
applications).
• Available in a 352-pin Ball Grid Array
(BGA) package.
• EXACT Bus is compatible with
common serial devices for simple
system stacking using coax or twinax
cable.
• Support for IEEE 802.1D bridging and
spanning tree algorithm in an external
processor.
