VSC8538XHJ Description

Short technical summary and product information.

The VSC8538XHJ is an octal 10/100/1000BASE-T PHY transceiver from Vitesse Semiconductor, designed for high-density switch and router applications. It operates with extremely low power consumption, consuming 650mW per port in 1000BASE-T mode.

 

This device is compliant with IEEE 802.3 standards, including 10BASE-T, 100BASE-TX, 1000BASE-T, and 1000BASE-X. It supports jumbo frames up to 16kB in all speeds and offers features like VeriPHY™ cable diagnostics. The transceiver supports both full and half duplex modes and can operate over Category 5 UTP cable up to 140 meters.

 

The VSC8538XHJ is housed in a compact 27mm, 444-pin HS-BGA package, which simplifies system design and enables high port density. It also includes patented, low EMI line drivers with integrated termination resistors, reducing the need for external components and minimizing electromagnetic interference.
