KS8995MA

KS8995MA Product Brief
Revision 2.0
Integrated 5-Port 10/100 Managed Switch
The KS8995MA is a highly integrated Layer-2
managed switch with optimized BOM (Bill of Materials)
cost for low port count, cost-sensitive 10/100Mbps switch
systems. It also provides an extensive feature set such as
tag/port-based VLAN, QoS priority, management, MIB
counters, dual MII interface and CPU control/data
interfaces to effectively address both current and
emerging Fast Ethernet applications.
The KS8995MA contains five 10/100 transceivers
with patented mixed-signal low-power technology, five
MAC (Media Access Control) units, a high-speed nonblocking switch fabric, a dedicated address lookup engine,
and an on-chip frame buffer memory.
All PHY units support 10Base-T and 100BaseTX.
In addition, two of the PHY units support 100BaseFX
(Ports 4 and 5).
