the vitesse sparx tm family of switches sparx-g8e shares the unique traits of the vitesse sparx family of switches. the highly integrated switch supports 136 kilobytes of on-chip frame buffer, and the integration of the copper phy as well as an internal oscillator circuit simplifies pcb layout to reduce time and cost. further trimming down system cost is the industry's lowest power, fully integrated, switch-plus-copper phy technology. the switches provide for high performance designs with their nonblocking, wire-speed performance, which includes wire-speed mac address learning. designing both unmanaged and web-managed solutions is straightforward. the chips offer an internal v-core cpu (on-chip 8051) and serial and parallel cpu interfaces, and support a host of management protocols such as gxrp, snmp, and three flavors of spanning tree: standard stp, multiple stp, and rapid stp. controlling networks operated by the vitesse switches is simple; advanced classification with ipv4 and ipv6 support, along with port dscp remarking and 802.1x authentication support, provides flexible qos operation. this is backed up by layer 2-4 link aggregation and vlan support, enabling managed switches to be deployed. with its unique low power dissipation, the VSC7398 enables fanless operation, thereby providing higher system reliability and lower noise, both to the benefit of the user. designing with vitesse sparx family of switches means designing with the complete vitesse solution: vitesse provides a comprehensive, web- managed switch software system for the v-core cpu (internal 8051). this is in addition to the unmanaged and smart managed software systems for 8051, which are also included. for homegrown software development, the vitesse full platform and os independent switch api is supplied. accompanying the software systems are the vitesse switch reference systems. these are production-ready hardware designs that also serve as evaluation platforms. the vitesse solution is supplied with a comprehensive collateral package, including software source code, full documentation, and an in-depth qualification report for easy pre- evaluation. sparx-g8e tm - enhanced 8-port integrated gigabit ethernet switch with transceivers VSC7398 sparx-g8e is the highly integrated, single- chip gigabit ethernet switch with 8 integrated gbe copper phy ports. as part of the vitesse sparx tm family of switches, sparx-g8e delivers high performance with easy migration paths, and comprehensive system solutions that enable ultra- short time-to-market and market-leading system cost. f 25 mhz lvttl reference clock f 1.2 v core power supply f 3.3 v interface power supply VSC7398
