• Integrates 24 Gigabit Ethernet ports alongside four 10 Gigabit Ethernet uplink ports within a single integrated circuit.
• Supports SerDes interfaces to facilitate flexible connectivity options for high-bandwidth network segments.

Applications

• Data center top-of-rack switching
• Enterprise core or aggregation layer networking
• High-density server interconnect solutions

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific ordering suffix against the manufacturer's official documentation to ensure correct package type and temperature range specifications. Confirm current availability status directly with authorized distributors, as supply levels may fluctuate based on production cycles and regional allocation policies.

Selection Notes

Select this component when a design requires a consolidated solution for both 1G access ports and 10G uplinks without external multiplexing. Ensure the PCB layout supports the required pin count and thermal dissipation characteristics associated with high-port-count switch ICs in the specified package.

Part Context

This part belongs to the Broadcom BCM53xxx series of Ethernet switches. It serves as a specialized variant within the family, distinguished by its specific combination of 24x1G and 4x10G port configurations, targeting environments needing scalable bandwidth expansion.

Replacement Considerations
