5-GbE Port Switch with Integrated SerDes
The Broadcom BCM5387 device is a highly integrated solution ideally suited for standalone Gigabit Ethernet switches and Gigabit Ethernet control plane and backplane applications. It combines all the functions of a high-speed switch system, including packet buffer, SerDes, media access controllers, address management, and a nonblocking switch fabric into a single 0.13 μm CMOS device.
The BCM5387 complies with IEEE 802.3, 802.3u, 802.3ab, and 802.3x specifications, including the MAC control, pause frame, and autonegotiation subsections, providing compatibility with all industry-standard Ethernet, Fast Ethernet, and Gigabit Ethernet devices.
