BCM5238UA3KQMG Description

Short technical summary and product information.

The Broadcom BCM5238 is a single-chip, eight-port Fast Ethernet transceiver designed for high-density 10/100BASE-TX applications. It integrates eight independent transceivers in a single device, providing a compact solution for Ethernet switches and similar networking equipment.

 

Key specifications include support for the IEEE 802.3 Ethernet standard, SMII and SSSMII interface types, and a core supply voltage of 1.8V with I/O supply voltage of 2.5V/3.3V. The device features HP Auto-MDIX for automatic cable crossover detection, polarity correction, and digital adaptive equalization for error-free operation up to 150 meters on Category 5 UTP cable. Power consumption is less than 215 mW per port.

 

The BCM5238 is available in a 128-pin PQFP or 256-ball BGA package with surface mount mounting. It supports both full-duplex and half-duplex modes and includes an interrupt output for system integration. The device is compliant with the IEEE 802.3 standard and includes IEEE 1149.1 (JTAG) scan chain support.
