RTL8368MB-CG

LAYER 2 MANAGED 5+3-PORT 10/100/1000M SWITCH CONTROLLER

General Description

The RTL8368MB is a TQFP176 EPAD, high-performance 5+3-port Gigabit Ethernet switch. The RTL8368MB feature low-power integrated 5-port Giga-PHYs that support 1000Base-T, 100Base-T, and 10Base-T.

For specific applications, the RTL8368MB supports three extra interfaces that two ports could configure as GMII/RGMII/MII interfaces and third port supports RGMII/MII interfaces. The RTL8368MB integrate all the functions of a high-speed switch system; including SRAM for packet buffering, non-blocking switch fabric, and internal register management into a single CMOS device.

Features

  • Single-chip 5+3-port gigabit non-blocking switch architecture;
  • Embedded 5-port 10/100/1000Base-T PHY
  • Each port supports full duplex 10/100/1000M connectivity (half duplex only supported in 10/100M mode)
  • Extra Interface (Extension GMAC0 and Extension GMAC1) supports
    • Dual-port Media Independent Interface (MII)
    • Dual-port Reduced Gigabit Media Independent Interface (RGMII)
    • Dual-port Gigabit Media Independent Interface (GMII)
  • The Third Extra Interface (Extension GMAC2) supports
    • Media Independent Interface (MII)
    • Reduced Gigabit Media Independent Interface (RGMII)
  • Full-duplex and half-duplex operation with IEEE 802.3x flow control and backpressure

Applications

  • 5-Port 1000Base-T Router with Dual MII/RGMII/GMII + Single MII/RGMII
