StrataXGS components can be applied in a wide variety of configurations, enabling system designers to strategically balance cost, port density, and performance in the products they build. Highly Integrated The integration of Broadcom’s robust XAUI-compatible serializer/ deserializer (SerDes) interface on each BCM5670 port reduces board complexity. The XAUI interface can be used to route high speed signals across 44 inches of FR4, connectors, and backplanes. SerDes technology also enables the use of inexpensive cables for stacking applications. Superior Performance The BCM5670 delivers wire speed switching performance across all of the ports simultaneously. The effective bandwidth of each HiGig interface is 20 Gbps (10 Gbps, full-duplex). The BCM5670 switch fabric interconnects other StrataXGS component chips across a 160-Gbps backplane. It introduces very low switching latency, enabling the high quality transmission of voice, video, and data traffic. Flexible Management The BCM5670 HiGig switch links to a host CPU through a PCI bus at speeds of up to 66 MHz. Bus mastering and advanced DMA are supported in hardware for the efficient exchange of packet data between CPU memory and the BCM5670 switch. The BCM5670 switch can also work without host CPU support, using an I2C interface to initialize chip registers and forwarding tables. Also, the BCM5632 chip can link to a BCM5670 via an XGMII-to-XAUI converter, such as the BCM8011. As many as 15 BCM5632 chips can be interconnected, providing up to 180 Gigabit Ethernet ports.
