General Description

The KSZ8893FQL, a highly integrated single-chip 3 port Fast Ethernet switch is designed for applications with fiber support such as media converter. It provides two 10/100 transceivers with patented mixed-signal low power technology, three media access control (MAC) units, a high-speed non-blocking switch fabric, a Layer-2 managed switch and TS-1000 OAM (Operations, Administration and Management) V2 in a compact solution. Backwards compatible to the TS-1000 (2002) specification, TS-1000 V2 is an OAM sub-layer that provides communication between CO (central office) and CPE (customer premises equipment).

Features

Integrated 3-Port 10/100 Ethernet Switch

• Three MACs and two PHYs fully compliant with IEEE 802.3u standard

• Non-blocking switch fabric assures fast packet delivery by utilizing an 1K MAC address lookup table and a store-and-forward architecture

• Full duplex IEEE 802.3x flow control (PAUSE) with force mode option

• Half-duplex back pressure flow control

• HP Auto MDI-X for reliable detection of and correction for straight-through and crossover cables with disable and enable option

• Micrel LinkMD® TDR-based cable diagnostics permit identification of faulty copper cabling

• 100Base-FX, 100Base-SX and 10Base-FL fiber support on port 1
