BCM53101MIMLG

Overview

The BCM53101MIMLG is a seven-port managed 10/100 RoboSwitch fabricated on a 65 nm LP process. It integrates five 10/100 MACs with five 10/100 PHYs, one 10/100 MAC via MII/RvMII/RMII, and one 10/100/1000 MAC via RGMII/MII/RvMII/RMII. The device supports a 2K MAC address table, 4K-entry VLANs, and four CoS queues for QoS. Power consumption is less than 0.7W in full power mode.

Feature Summary

• Integrates five Fast Ethernet transceivers and multiple MAC interfaces for flexible connectivity.
• Supports advanced Layer 2 features including 802.1Q VLANs, IGMP/MLD snooping, and IEEE 802.1x security.
• Enables BroadSync HD for audio/video bridging traffic control and network resiliency.
• Incorporates green modes such as auto-power down and deep sleep to minimize energy usage.

Applications

• Next-generation six Fast Ethernet plus one Gigabit Ethernet switches
• Multimedia and data traffic networks requiring L2+ features
• Networked electronic devices needing guaranteed bandwidth and time-sync

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific ordering suffix against the manufacturer's official documentation to confirm package type and temperature range. Confirm moisture sensitivity levels and reflow soldering profiles prior to assembly. Ensure compliance with relevant environmental directives before finalizing procurement orders.

Selection Notes

Select this component when designing cost-effective managed switches requiring integrated PHYs. It is suitable for applications demanding low power consumption and high integration. Evaluate interface requirements to ensure compatibility with external CPUs or additional MACs using the available GMAC and EMAC options.

Part Context
