BCM5308KPF

The BCM5308KPF is one member of the BCM5308 family which is designed as the 8-port 10/100 switch with on-chip packet buffer. Features of BCM5308KPF  are:(1)the world's first single-chip switch;(2)the highest level of silicon integration achieved for an 8-port 10/100 Ethernet switch device: Eight transceivers (802.3u compliant), Nine media access controllers (802.x compliant), 256 KB packet buffer, Non-blocking switch fabric;(3)non-blocking up to 24 ports through a 2.6-Gbps expansion port, cascading up to three devices;(4)MII interface supports an additional 100FX or 100TX connection, enabling a ninth user port;(5)supports up to 4K MAC addresses;(6)flow control: full-duplex (802.3x) and half-duplex options supported;(7)BCM5308KPF supports automatic address learning and aging;(8)typical power consumption: 2.8W;(9)208-pin PQFP package.

The benefits of the BCM5308KPF can be summarized as:(1)BCM5308KPF enables a new generation of lower cost 10/100 switches in much smaller form factors;(2)utilizes field-proven industry-standard 10BASE-T/100BASE-TX Fast Ethernet transceiverslowering overall system interoperability and reliability risks;(3)flexible interfaces support a wider variety of application needsfiber for long distances or an additional 100TX port;(4)sufficient address range handles all remote office, branch office and home office needs;(5)flexible architecture enables high engineering leverage when designing multiple platforms;(6)very low power and small footprint enables more costeffective system options.
