KS8995X
KS8995X is Integrated 5-Port 10/100 QoS Switch manufactured by Micrel Semiconductor.
Micrel
Integrated 5-Port 10/100 Qo S Switch Rev. 1.13
General Description
The KS8995X is a highly integrated Layer-2 Qo S (Quality of Service) switch with optimized BOM (Bill of Materials) cost for low port count, cost-sensitive 10/100Mbps switch systems. It also provides an extensive feature set including three different Qo S priority schemes, a dual MII interface for BOM cost reduction, rate limiting to offload CPU tasks, software and hardware power-down, a MDC/MDIO control interface and port mirroring/monitoring to effectively address both current and emerging Fast Ethernet applications.
The KS8995X contains five 10/100 transceivers with patented mixed-signal low-power technology, five MAC (Media Access Control) units, a high-speed non-blocking switch fabric, a dedicated address lookup engine, and an on-chip frame buffer memory.
All PHY units support 10Base T and 100Base TX. In addition, two of the PHY units support 100Base FX (Ports 4 and 5).
All support documentation can be found on Micrel’s web site at .micrel..
