Feature Summary

• Supports IEEE 1588 PTP for network time synchronization
• Multi-layer switching architecture
• Ethernet interface integration

Applications

• Network infrastructure equipment requiring time-sensitive data handling
• Telecommunications systems utilizing precision timing protocols
• Enterprise or carrier-grade Ethernet switching platforms

Procurement Notes

Verification of this component requires checking official Broadcom documentation or authorized distributor listings for current availability status. As the related BCM56540XB0KFSBLG model has been marked as End-of-Life (EOL), confirm whether the IFSBLG suffix variant shares similar discontinuation notices or active production status through verified supply chain channels before procurement planning.

Selection Notes

Select this component when IEEE 1588 support is required within the BCM56540 family ecosystem. Compare pinout compatibility and package specifications against alternative suffixes like KFSBLG to ensure mechanical and electrical interchangeability if substituting existing designs. Validate that the specific feature set matches the target application's protocol requirements.

Part Context

This device is part of the Broadcom BCM56540 series of Ethernet switches. The series encompasses various models differentiated by suffix codes indicating package type, temperature range, or specific feature enablement. The BCM56540XB0IFSBLG specifically denotes a configuration within this lineup, distinct from but related to other variants like the BCM56540B0KFSBLG found in public records.

Replacement Considerations

Publicly available data confirms the BCM56540XB0KFSBLG variant is End-of-Life. Verify if the BCM56540B0KFSBLG serves as a functional substitute or if newer generation Broadcom switches are recommended. Cross-reference datasheets for pin-to-pin compatibility before considering any replacement options.
