VSC8582XKS-06

Overview

The VSC8582XKS-06 is a dual-port Gigabit Ethernet PHY supporting 10/100/1000BASE-T copper and 100/1000BASE-X fiber interfaces. It integrates MACsec encryption compliant with IEEE 802.1AE standards, utilizing Intellisec technology for end-to-end Layer 2 security. The device features VeriTime timestamping for IEEE 1588v2 precision timing over encapsulated links including MPLS. Power supplies include a 1.0 V core and 2.5 V I/O, with 3.3 V-tolerant inputs. Interfaces support QSGMII v1.3, SGMII v1.9, and JTAG boundary scan.

Feature Summary

• Integrates patented Intellisec technology to enable MACsec encryption across multi-operator and cloud networks independent of network awareness.
• Provides high-accuracy IEEE 1588v2 timing via VeriTime technology, supporting one-step and two-step timestamping over MPLS and PBB encapsulated links.
• Supports Ring Resiliency technology allowing seamless switching between master and slave timing without interrupting the 1000BASE-T link.
• Includes integrated AC-coupling capacitors for the SGMII interface and supports jumbo frames up to 16 kB.

Applications

• Wireless backhaul systems
• Carrier Ethernet cellular base systems
• Industrial automation systems
• Secure data center to data center interconnects

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix -06 against official Microsemi documentation to confirm the operating temperature range and package details. Ensure compatibility with required power supply voltages (1.0 V core, 2.5 V I/O) and check for moisture sensitivity handling requirements during assembly.

Selection Notes

Select this component when both Layer 2 MACsec encryption and nanosecond-level IEEE 1588v2 timing accuracy are required on a dual-port GbE PHY. It is suitable for designs needing QSGMII or SGMII SerDes interfaces and supports flexible transmit/receive frequency timing per port.

Part Context

This part belongs to the VSC8582 family of GbE PHYs, which are among the first to support NIST FIPS 197 128/256-bit MACsec. The series includes variants with different temperature ratings and interface configurations, designed for secure carrier and industrial networking applications.

Replacement Considerations

The VSC8575XKS-14 is documented as a perfect alternative for designs requiring high 1588v2 PTP precision but potentially lacking MACsec 256/128-bit encryption requirements.
