The BCM89501 device is Broadcom's first fully integrated BroadR-Reach multilayer switch to support automotive qualification (AECQ100) for in-car networking applications. The BCM8950X family of products are the optimal solution for key automotive designs that have high-performance yet challenging low-power requirements.
Building upon industry-leading 65 nm architecture, the BCM8950X family of products supports multiple intuitive low-power modes as well as an automotive cable diagnostics feature.
Features
- Enhanced architecture supports non-blocking, line-rate data transfer at wirespeed performance for all frame sizes over unshielded single-pair twisted cable
- Integrated switch core has provisions for the integrated ARM® Cortex® R4 processor and dedicated on-chip SRAM to send and receive frames
- Processor subsystem able to support timing stack and AVB bridging support functions
- Support for deep sleep and ultra-low power modes, which reduce power consumption to zero during periods of inactivity
Applications
- Automotive
- Industrial automation
