4-port 10/100/1000 Mbps Layer 2 Ethernet Switch

1.1. GENERAL DESCRIPTION

This Layer 2 Switch provides an ideal solution for the design of unmanaged full wire-speed multi-port Gigabit Ethernet(GbE) switches. Each port support either 10/100/1000Mbps data rate. Flow controls, backpressure in half duplex mode and PAUSE frame in full duplex mode are employed to solve the HOL(Head of Line) blocking.

This Layer 2 Switch integrates four half/full duplex mode 1000BASE Gigabit Ethernet MACs, wire speed switching engines, MAC address based Address Parsing Algorithm, Packet buffer memory.
