The KS8893ML is a highly integrated layer-2 managed switch designed for low port
count, cost-sensitive 10/100 Mbps switch systems. Its extensive feature set includes
rate limiting, tag/port-based VLAN, QoS priority, MIB counters, RMII/MII/SNI and CPU
control/data interfaces to effectively address both current and emerging Fast Ethernet
applications.
The KS8893ML contains two 10/100 transceivers with patented mixed-signal
low-power technology, three MAC (Media Access Control) units, a high-speed nonblocking
switch fabric, a dedicated address lookup engine and an on-chip frame buffer
memory.
Both PHY ports support 10BASE-T and 100BASE-TX with HP Auto-MDIX for reliable
detection of and correction for straight-through and crossover cables. LinkMD TDRbased
cable diagnostics permit identification of faulty cabling. For managed media
conversion applications, one PHY port supports 100BASE-FX in addition to Fast Ethernet
copper support.
QoS prioritization with four priority queues, both tag and port-based, makes the
KS8893ML ideal for latency critical Voice over Internet Protocol (VoIP) phones,
industrial Ethernet and triple play (voice, video, data) applications.
The KS8893ML is available in packaging, power supply and temperature options that fit
the demanding needs of today’s applications
