BCM5325F

Description

The Broadcom BCM5325 device is a highly integrated solution.BCM5325F combines all of the functions of a high-speed switch system -including packet buffer, PHY transceivers, media access controllers, address management, and a nonblocking switch fabric -into a single 0.18 CMOS device.BCM5325F complies with the IEEE 802.3, 802.3, and 802.3x specifications, including the MAC control PAUSE frame and auto-negotiation subsections, providing compatibility with all industry-standard Ethernet and Fast Ethernet devices.

BCM5325F contains five full-duplex 10BASE-T/100BASE-TX Fast Ethernet transceivers, each of which performs all of the physical layer interface functions for 10BASE-T Ethernet on Category 3, 4, or 5 Unshielded Twisted-Pair (UTP) cable and 100BASE-TX Fast Ethernet on Category 5 UTP cable.
