KS8995X Product Brief
Revision 1.08
Integrated 5-Port 10/100 QoS Switch
The KS8995X is a highly integrated layer-2 QoS 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 QoS priority schemes, dual MII interface for BOM cost reduction, programmable rate limiting to offload CPU tasks, software & hardware power-down , MDC/MDIO control interface and port 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 100BaseTX. In addition, two of the PHY units support 100BaseFX (Ports 4 & 5).
Features
• • • • • • • • • • • Integrated switch with five MACs and five Fast Ethernet transceivers fully compliant to IEEE 802.3u standard Shared memory based switch fabric with fully nonblocking configuration 10BaseT, 100BaseTX and 100BaseFX modes (FX in Ports 4 & 5) Dual MII configuration: MII-Switch (MAC or PHY mode MII) and MII-P5 (PHY mode MII) VLAN ID tag/untag options, per-port basis Programmable rate limiting, ingress and egress port, rate options for high and low priority, per port basis Flow control or drop packet rate limiting (ingress port) Broadcast storm protection with % control–global and per-port basis Optimization for fiber-to-copper media conversion Full-chip hardware power-down support (register configuration not saved) Per-port based software power-save on PHY (idle link detection, register configuration preserved)
