Description

Broadcom’s BCM53156XU is a family of highly integrated Ethernet switches that are optimally designed for costeffective low-power applications in the SMB, Enterprise, Service-Provider, and SOHO markets that rapidly transition to Gigabit-Ethernet connectivity and beyond.

The BCM53156XU is based on the industry-leading 28 nm RoboSwitch™ architecture, also known as Robo 2. The product line includes multiple models with 6 to 15 interfaces that support 100M/1GE/2.5GE and 10GE of bandwidth.

The BCM53156XU is designed for standalone low portcount configurations and high port-count configurations with support for cascading.

The BCM53156XU allows customers to design complete product platforms that target new cost-effective low-power applications demanding 1GE/10GbE connectivity. Among those, SMB switch with 10G uplinks, Enterprise switches, routers and security appliances, next generation Industrial Ethernet switches, and Service Provider access equipment.

The BCM53156XU is also designed to support basic applications that include Auto DOS, Auto VOIP, Auto QoS, and more. The product line takes advantage of a low-power integrated ARM Cortex-M7 CPU to offer on-chip support for certain protocols, including Auto IGMP snooping as well as tools for monitoring and troubleshooting. The product line is offered in Commercial-grade as well as Industrial-grade temperature ranges.
