Overview
The BCM5396IFBG is a single-chip 16-port Gigabit Ethernet switch manufactured by Broadcom Limited. It integrates sixteen 10/100/1000 Mbps ports with 1.25G SerDes/SGMII interfaces for external PHY or fiber connectivity. The device features a 256 KB on-chip packet buffer, address management supporting up to 4K MAC addresses, and an internal management port (IMP) with GMII/RGMII/RvMII/MII options. Operating at a 1.2V core voltage with total power consumption of 2.2W, it supports IEEE 802.1Q VLANs, QoS, spanning tree protocols, and IEEE 802.1X security in a 256-pin FBGA package.
Feature Summary
- Integrates sixteen Gigabit Ethernet ports with flexible SerDes/SGMII connectivity for external PHYs or optical modules.
- Includes a 256 KB on-chip packet buffer and support for jumbo frames up to 9728 bytes.
- Provides comprehensive Layer 2 features including VLAN tagging, QoS prioritization, and spanning tree protocol support.
Applications
- Desktop switching solutions and WebSmart applications
- Industrial control network equipment
- Enterprise access layer switches
Procurement Notes
This component is officially listed as End-of-Life (EOL). Availability is restricted, and distributors may not stock this item in all regions. Verification of current supply status and alternative sourcing strategies is required before procurement planning.
Selection Notes
Select this part for designs requiring a high-density 16-port Gigabit solution with low power consumption. Ensure the design accommodates the 256-pin FBGA package and provides necessary 1.2V, 2.5V, and 3.3V power rails. Verify compatibility with external PHYs if using SGMII/SerDes modes.
Part Context
The BCM5396 series represents Broadcom's mid-range Gigabit switching portfolio, designed for cost-effective, high-performance networking. The IFBG suffix typically denotes specific packaging and temperature range variations within the standard BCM5396 family, adhering to industrial commercial standards.
Replacement Considerations
As the BCM5396IFBG is discontinued, engineers should evaluate newer Broadcom silicon generations or compatible third-party equivalents that offer similar port counts and interface configurations while ensuring pinout and software register compatibility.
