• Integrated Layer 2 managed switching functionality
• Supports mixed-speed connectivity with Fast Ethernet and Gigabit interfaces
• Designed for high-density network access applications

Applications

• Enterprise LAN access layer switches
• Building distribution networking equipment
• Industrial Ethernet gateways requiring managed control

Procurement Notes

Verify component authenticity through authorized Broadcom channels or certified distributors. Confirm RoHS compliance status via official documentation. Ensure storage conditions meet moisture sensitivity level requirements prior to soldering. Validate package marking against datasheet specifications to prevent counterfeit substitution.

Selection Notes

Select this component when a managed switch solution with 24 FE and 4 GE ports is required. Compare against other BCM5328x variants if different port counts or unmanaged features are needed. Verify pin compatibility and thermal requirements for the specific PCB layout before finalizing the design.

Part Context

This part is part of the Broadcom BCM5328x family of Ethernet switches. It complements other models in the series that may offer varying port densities or feature sets, such as the BCM53282. The series targets cost-effective managed switching solutions for wired networks.

Replacement Considerations

Check for direct cross-references within the BCM5328x family. Verify pin-to-pin compatibility with alternative Broadcom switch ICs offering similar port configurations.
