VSC7511
4-Port Layer-2 Gigabit Ethernet Switch
INTRODUCTION
The VSC7511 Industrial IoT Ethernet switch contains four ports, each configurable as either an integrated 10/100/ 1000BASE-T PHY or a 1G SGMII/SerDes. In addition, there is an option for either a 1G/2.5G SGMII/SerDes Node Processor Interface (NPI) or a PCIe interface for external CPU connectivity. The NPI/PCIe can operate as a standard Ethernet port. The device provides a rich set of Industrial Ethernet switching features such as fast protection switching, 1588 precision time protocol, and synchronous Ethernet. Advanced TCAM-based VLAN and QoS processing enable delivery of differentiated services. Security is assured through frame processing using Microchip’s TCAM-based Versatile Content Aware Processor.
