Microchip Technology KSZ8563 Ethernet Switches
Microchip Technology KSZ8563 Ethernet Switches are highly integrated IEEE 802.3-compliant networking devices. These Microchip Technology switches incorporate a layer-2+ managed high-performance Ethernet switch, two 10BASE-T/100BASE-TX physical layer transceivers (PHY), associated MAC units, and one MAC port. The MAC offers a configurable RGMII/MII/RMII interface for direct connection to a host processor/controller, another Ethernet switch, or an Ethernet PHY transceiver. These switches with Ethernet technology feature non-blocking wire-speed Ethernet switch fabric, traffic prioritization, full VLAN, QoS, and spanning tree support. Typical applications include automotive, industrial, real-time Ethernet networks, network measurement and control systems, and test/measurement equipment.
