ADM6996HX-AD-T-1

Overview

The ADM6996HX-AD-T-1 is a six-port 10/100 Mb/s single-chip Ethernet switch manufactured by Infineon Technologies. It integrates a 10/100 Base-T/TX PHY with parallel interface capabilities, designed for compact and cost-effective network integration. The device operates within a supply voltage range of 2.8V to 3.465V and supports an operating temperature range of 0°C to 115°C. It is housed in a 128-BFQFP package (PG-BFQFP-128) and features a parallel interface protocol. The component is classified as obsolete or end-of-life.

Procurement Notes

This component is officially listed as obsolete or end-of-life by the manufacturer. Availability is extremely limited, with distributors indicating no current stock. Verification of genuine sourcing is critical due to the high risk of counterfeit parts in the secondary market for discontinued components. Buyers should confirm lifecycle status and authenticity before procurement attempts.

Selection Notes

Engineers selecting this part must account for its obsolete status, which may impact long-term supply chain stability. The 128-BFQFP package requires specific PCB footprint considerations. Designers should verify that the parallel interface and voltage requirements align with the target system architecture, as alternative modern solutions may offer better availability and performance characteristics.

Part Context

The ADM6996 series represents Infineon's legacy Ethernet switching solutions. This specific model combines switching logic with physical layer transceivers. It belongs to a family of integrated controllers designed for embedded applications requiring multiple Ethernet connections without external PHY components. The HX suffix typically denotes specific thermal or packaging variants within the broader product line.

Replacement Considerations

Public confirmed substitute part numbers are not available in the provided documentation. Due to the obsolete status, direct pin-to-pin replacements are not explicitly documented. Engineers should consult official replacement guides or consider redesigning with currently supported Ethernet switch ICs from Infineon or other manufacturers.
