Procurement Notes

This component is officially listed as End-of-Life (EOL) by the manufacturer. Availability is restricted, with current distribution channels indicating limited or non-existent stock in many regions. Buyers must verify specific lot dates and authenticity through authorized distributors due to the discontinued status. Replacement planning should account for potential supply chain constraints associated with obsolete semiconductor parts.

Selection Notes

Engineers selecting this part must consider its EOL status when designing new products. Legacy systems requiring exact pin-to-pin compatibility may continue using this IC, but new designs should evaluate alternative Broadcom solutions with longer lifecycle support. Verify that the FBGA package dimensions match existing PCB footprints if used in retrofit scenarios.

Part Context

Broadcom’s portfolio includes various networking silicon for enterprise and consumer markets. The BCM11193 series targets the embedded voice market, distinguishing itself from general-purpose Ethernet switches or PHYs found in other Broadcom lines.
