PM3370 Description
PM3370 Octal 10/100 Mbit/s Switch Port-Controller.
PM3370 Key Features
- Monolithic intelligent octal 10/100 Ethernet Switch Port Controller
- Integrates eight 10/100 MACs that connect to physical layer devices over standard IEEE 802.3u MIIs
- Supports the Gigabit EXACT Bus Protocol for device interconnect
- May be used alone or in bination with other devices to build high density 10/100 switches
- PM3390 EXACT Bus Switch Matrix allows non-blocking expansion up to 96 10/100 Mbit/s ports
- Layer 2 line rate address lookup capability for all Ethernet port configurations supported
- Store-and-forward switching using output associated input buffering for efficient memory use without Head Of Line (HOL)
- Supports 8,000 MAC addresses
- 1022 multicast groups available. Bitmask per group defines membership
- EXACT Bus is patible with mon serial devices for simple system stacking using coax or twinax cable
PM3370 Applications
- Programmable packet pattern matchers for identification of ARP, RARP, ICMP, and other protocol or packet types
