KS8695X

IC SWITCH 10/100 5Port 208PQFP

General Description

The CENTAUR , Multi-Port Gateway-on-a-Chip, delivers a new level of networking integration and

performance for accelerating broadband gateway development. Key components integrated in the KS8695X

include:

• Integrated Layer 2 managed switch with five Fast Ethernet transceivers and patented mixed-signal low

power technology, five media access control MAC units, a high-speed non-blocking switch fabric, a

dedicated address look-up engine, an on-chip frame buffer memory, and LED controls. One port is partitioned

for WAN interface with the other four ports for LAN access.

• A 166MHz ARM™ ARM992T processor with memory management unit MMU and 8KB I-cache and 8KB D

cache.

• XceleRouter™ technology for the WAN and LAN interfaces.

• Shared programmable 8/16/32-bit data bus and 22-bit address bus with up to 64MB total memory space for SDRAM, ROM, Flash, SRAM, and all peripheral devices.

• Other peripheral support logic including GPIO, a watchdog timer, an interrupt controller, and a JTAG

debugging interface.

Complete hardware and software reference designs are available.

The KS8695X represents a new level of total solution optimized for broadband gateway system development

and renders speedy routing performance and connectivity interfaces for value-added networking expansions.
