Low power 11-port GbE switch has IEEE 1588

The VSC7414 11-port Gigabit Ethernet switch features low 1.6 W operating power along with sub-10 nanosecond accurate VeriTime IEEE1588v2 timing support. The chip has nine 10/100/1000 Mbit/s SGMII/SerDes ports and two 1G/2.5G SGMII/SerDes ports. All ports support both 100BASE-FX and 1000BASE-X SerDes.

The IC supports more than eight queues/port along with a priority flow control (IEEE 802.1Qbb) mechanism for advanced QoS. The VSC7414 includes a 416 MHz MIPS processor with DDR2/DDR3 external memory. The 24 × 24 mm thermally enhanced TQFP packaged IC operates from –40° to 125°C. (~$40 ea/1,000 – samples available now.)
