BCM5693
®
SCALABLE 12-PORT GIGABIT ETHERNET LAYER 2 SWITCH
FEATURES
SUMMARY OF BENEFITS
• 12 10/100/1000 Mbps Ethernet ports supporting both copper
and fiber connections
• Integrated high-performance SerDes
• Gigabit Ethernet SerDes per port
• 4-pin per port SGMII interface to Gigabit Ethernet PHYs
• 32 million packets/second (line-rate) aggregate switching
capacity
• 64 entries of FFP (Fast Filter Processor™)
• Port trunking and mirroring supported across stacked
switches
• Fully integrated data and address memory on-chip
• Full duplex (802.3x) compatible flow control
• Support for jumbo frames of up to 9 KB
• Advanced diagnostic features including IEEE1149.1 JTAG
boundary scan and BIST functionality
• Pin-to-pin compatible with BCM5691
• Low-power, enhanced thermal 480-pin EBGA package
• System vendors can build scalable high-performance, high
port density Gigabit Ethernet layer 2 LAN switches in several
form factors.
• Built-in high-speed serial interfaces with Broadcom-unique
SerDes technology eases and accelerates system design, while
reducing cost and conserving board space.
• Broadcom switch API compatability enables software reuse
and faster time-to-market.
• Small package and low power enable cost-effective and high-
performance system design..
TARGET APPLICATIONS
