The VSC7391XHO is an Ethernet IC manufactured by Microchip Technology, classified under Ethernet Switches. It integrates a 16-port Gigabit Ethernet switch with an embedded 8-port PHY. The device supports data rates of 10 Mb/s, 100 Mb/s, and 1 Gb/s. It features eight transceivers and offers interface compatibility with MII, Parallel, RS-232, and Serial protocols. The component operates within power supply voltage ranges of 1.2 V and 3.3 V for both minimum and maximum specifications. Designed for surface mount (SMD/SMT) installation, it belongs to the Communication & Networking ICs sub-category.
Availability for the VSC7391XHO is currently restricted. Major distributors such as Mouser indicate that this part number is not actively stocked or sold in many regions. The component may be subject to limited sales volumes or require special factory ordering arrangements. Engineers should verify current supply status directly with authorized Microchip representatives or distributors before initiating design-in processes.
When evaluating the VSC7391XHO, designers must account for its specific dual-voltage requirements of 1.2 V and 3.3 V. The integration of 8 built-in PHY ports reduces external component count but necessitates careful PCB layout for the remaining 8 switch-only ports. Interface selection between MII, Parallel, RS-232, and Serial depends on the host processor capabilities. Thermal management and signal integrity for high-speed Gigabit traces are critical considerations for this SMD/SMT package.
The VSC7391XHO belongs to the SparX-G5e family of integrated switches from Microchip Technology. This series targets cost-sensitive and space-constrained applications by combining switching logic with physical layer transceivers. The 'XHO' suffix typically denotes specific packaging and temperature grade variations within the product line, distinguishing it from other pin-compatible or functionally similar variants in the broader SparX portfolio.
Direct replacements within the SparX-G5e family include the VSC7395 series, which offers different port configurations such as 5+1 port options. Designers should consult Microchip's official cross-reference documentation to identify compatible parts with matching pinouts and electrical characteristics. Verification of interface compatibility and voltage levels is essential when substituting this component.
