Description
This Layer 2 Switch provides an ideal solution for the design of unmanaged full wirespeed multi-port Gigabit Ethernet (GbE) switches. Each port suppor ts either
10/100/1000 Mbps data rate. Flow controls, back pressure in half-duplex mode and
PAUSE frame in full-duplex mode are employed to solve the HOL (Head of Line)
blocking.
This Layer 2 Switch integrates four half/full duplex mode 1000 BASE Gigabit Ethernet
MACs, wire speed switching engines, MAC address based address parsing algorithms
and packet buffer memory.
