Overview
System on-a-Chip (SoC) switch family offers industry-leading integration and performance in a small footprint.
The device offers up to 16 multilayer 10GbE ports. Offering the industry's highest level of integration, the BCM5340X/BCM5341X family of switches has embedded SerDes supporting KX, KR, XFI, XAUI, RXAUI, SGMII and QSGMII modes, as well as an optional powerful 600 MHz ARM A9 single-core processor. The BCM5340X/BCM5341X is ideal for cost-sensitive connectivity applications, such as embedded designs for control/data plane applications, or WebSmart switches for Small and Medium Businesses (SMB).
The BCM5340X/BCM5341X device family offers multiple I/O configurations and speeds (1G/2.5G/5G/10G) that address key segments of connectivity. With a 2MB integrated packet buffer and the industry's lowest power consumption at 500 mW per 10G port, the BCM5340X/BCM5341X family of switches is designed to reduce overall system costs.
