BCM5325EKQMG

The BCM5325EKQMG is one member of the BCM5325E family which is the feature-enhanced and pin-compatible six-port switch to the industry leader BCM5325M ROBOswitch™.BCM5325EKQMG combines all the functions of a high-speed switch system, including packet buffers,PHY transceivers,MACs,address management,and a non-blocking switch fabric, into a single 0.18-m CMOS device.

Features of the BCM5325EKQMG are:(1)WAN port and protected port support;(2)port mirroring and IGMP layer 3 snooping;(3)internal oscillator simplifies design and reduces cost;(4)3.3V and 2.5V, power consumption is less than 1.0W;(5)128-pin MQFP package;(6)MDC/MDIO and SPI interfaces;(7)MII or reversed MII;(8)programmable per port flow control and back-pressure;(9)1K MAC addresses with automatic learning and aging;(10)programmable storm control;(11)supports 802.1x EAPOL higher layer protocol;(12)802.1d spanning tree;(13)port-based and 802.1Q-based VLAN with 16 entries;(14)802.1p QoS packet classification with four priority queues.

The summary of benefits of the BCM5325EKQMG are:(1)supports 802.1x for network security;(2)WAN port allows one of the ports to be specified for WAN connectivity,in which case all traffic coming to the WAN port is forwarded to the CPU;(3)programmable per port storm provides better traffic management;(4)MII port supports additional 100TX/FX;(5)optional reversed MII port connects directly to an 802.3 compliant MAC;(6)access to all internal registers through SPI or MDC/MDIO interfaces;(7)switch management features:port statistic counters;(8)BCM5325EKQMG enables a new generation of affordable five-port 10/100 switches with highest integration of enhanced L2+ features;(9)utilizes field-proven industry-standard 10BASE-T/100BASETX (100BASE-FX-compatible) fast ethernet transceivers-lowering overall system interoperability and reliability risks.
