Broadcom Integrated BroadR-Reach Multilayer Switch for Industrial Networking - BCM54501

Broadcom Integrated BroadR-Reach Multilayer Switch for Industrial Networking - BCM54501

The Broadcom BCM54501 device is Broadcom's first fully integrated BroadR-Reach multilayer switch to support industrial networking applications. The BCM54501 is the optimal solution for key industrial designs that have high performance yet challenging low-power requirements. Built upon industry-leading 65-nm architecture, the BCM54501 supports multiple intuitive low-power modes as well as cable diagnostics features. The BCM54501 can interconnect with other devices for scalable, high-performance systems through multiple interfaces, including RGMII, SGMII, GMII, MII, and reverse MII.

The BCM54501 supports four integrated BroadR-Reach PHYs, one integrated BroadR-Reach/100TX PHY, and two uplink ports. The BCM54501 is available in a 176-pin LQFP package and is qualified for industrial temperature range (–40°C to +85°C).
