Procurement Notes

Verify current availability status as this component may be subject to end-of-life or limited supply conditions. Confirm package type and marking codes against official datasheets before integration. Check for valid RoHS compliance documentation specific to the manufacturing lot. Ensure compatibility with existing system firmware and hardware interfaces prior to procurement planning.

Selection Notes

Select this component when a reduced-cost alternative to the BCM63168V is required for network control applications. Evaluate performance parity with the parent BCM63168 model to ensure functional adequacy. Consider the specific feature set differences between the SI00 suffix and other variants in the 63167 family. Verify that the cost reduction does not compromise necessary network processing capabilities for the target deployment.

Part Context

This part is part of the Broadcom BCM6316x series of network processors. It shares architectural similarities with the BCM63168 but offers a streamlined feature set aimed at reducing overall system costs. The SI00 designation indicates a specific package and temperature grade configuration within the broader 63167 product line managed by Broadcom Limited.

Replacement Considerations

The BCM63167VKREBG is documented as a feature and cost reduction version of the 63168V, similar to the SI00 variant. Verify pinout and electrical specifications against the BCM63168USU01 if migrating from higher-end models. Cross-reference all suffixes to ensure package and thermal compatibility.
