16-GE PORT SWITCH WITH INTEGRATED SerDes

The Broadcom BCM5396 device is a highly integrated solution ideally suited for standalone Gigabit Ethernet switches and Gigabit Ethernet control plane and backplane applications. It combines all the functions of a high-speed switch system, including packet buffer, SerDes, media
access controllers, address management, and a nonblocking switch fabric into a single 0.13 µm CMOS device.
The BCM5396 complies with IEEE 802.3, 802.3u, 802.3ab, and 802.3x specifications, including the MAC control, pause frame, and auto negotiation subsections, providing compatibility with all industry standard Ethernet, Fast Ethernet, and Gigabit Ethernet devices.
