VSC8582XKS-14

Overview

The VSC8582XKS-14 is a dual-port 10/100/1000BASE-T Ethernet PHY from the VSC8582 series, manufactured by Microchip Technology. It supports SGMII and QSGMII MAC interfaces with copper and fiber media connectivity. The device integrates IEEE 1588v2 VeriTime™ for precise synchronization and Intellisec™ MACsec encryption. Operating at data rates of 10 Mb/s, 100 Mb/s, and 1 Gb/s, it utilizes 1V, 2.5V, and 3.3V power supplies. The component is housed in a tray package and is rated for industrial temperature ranges.

Feature Summary

• Supports Carrier Ethernet features including Ring Resiliency and Energy Efficient Ethernet (EEE).
• Integrates hardware-based MACsec encryption for secure data transmission.
• Provides high-precision time synchronization via IEEE 1588v2 VeriTime technology.
• Features automatic crossover, polarity detection, and link speed downshift capabilities.

Applications

• Carrier Ethernet access networks requiring precise timing.
• Industrial automation systems needing robust synchronization.
• Secure communication infrastructure utilizing MACsec encryption.

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific ordering suffix against official Microchip documentation to confirm temperature range and package variations. Ensure compatibility with required voltage levels and interface standards before integration. Confirm availability through authorized distributors as supply status may vary.

Selection Notes

Select this model when dual-port Gigabit connectivity with integrated security and synchronization is required. Compare against the VSC8574 or VSC8572 if lower precision timing is acceptable. Verify that the QSGMII/SGMII interface matches the host processor requirements.

Part Context

This component belongs to the VSC8582 family of dual-port Gigabit Ethernet PHYs. It serves as an upgrade path for designs previously using VSC8574 or VSC8572 devices, offering enhanced synchronization and security features while maintaining pin and software compatibility where applicable.

Replacement Considerations

Publicly confirmed substitutes include the VSC8574 and VSC8572 for designs not requiring MACsec or highest precision PTP. Verify interface compatibility and feature set alignment before substitution.
