Broadcom BCM5325MA2IQMG

Overview

The Broadcom BCM5325MA2IQMG device is a highly integrated solution. It combines all the functions of a high-speed switch system—including packet buffer, PHY transceivers, media access controllers, address management, and a non-blocking switch fabric—into a single 0.18µ CMOS device. It complies with the IEEE 802.3, 802.3µ, and 802.3x specifications, including the MAC control PAUSE frame and autonegotiation subsections, providing compatibility with all industry-standard Ethernet and Fast Ethernet devices. This device 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. SPI or E2PROM interfaces provide easy programming of the 802.1p QoS queues. This allows switch traffic to be given different classes of priority or service, for example, voice traffic for IP phone applications, video traffic for multimedia applications, or data traffic for e-mail applications.
