5-Port 10/100 Switch with on-chip packet buffer
The Broadcom BCM5315 device is a highly integrated solution. It combines all the functions of a high-speed switch system - including packet buffer, PHY transceivers, media access controllers, address management and a non-blocking switch fabric - into a single 0.22µ device. It complies with the IEEE 802.3, 802.3u and 802.3x specifications, including the MAC control PAUSE frame and auto-negotiation subsections, providing compatibility with all industry-standard Ethernet and Fast Ethernet devices.
This device contains five full-duplex 10BASE-T/100BASE-TX Fast Ethernet transceivers, each of which performs all of the physical layer interface functions for 10BASE-T Ethernet on Category 3, 4, or 5 unshielded twisted pair (UTP) cable and 100BASE-TX Fast Ethernet on Category 5 UTP cable.
