Part Number: VSC7514EV
10-Port Gigabit Ethernet Switch Reference Design
- Four 10/100/1000BASE-T (RJ45) Ethernet copper ports (PHYs integrated with VSC7514)
Eight 100M/1Gbit/s Ethernet SFP ports (connected to VSC7514 through SERDES) – two of the SFP ports are dual-media ports tied to two of the copper ports – three of the SFP ports are also 2.5Gbit/s capable - One optional additional 10/100/1000BASE-T (RJ45) Ethernet port (VSC8221 PHY connected to VSC7514 through SGMII)
- By default VSC7514 is managed by the embedded MIPS CPU system with on-board DDR3, NOR and NAND Flash devices, but optionally an external master CPU system can connect to the VSC7514 slave through PCIe, SPI or the NPI port (using VRAP for inband management)
- Four SMAs, and an RS422 interface, for PTP and Sync-E applications and support for a range of Sync-E modules through the Sync-E feature connector
- Serial port for accessing the command line interface (CLI) software debugger, implemented through an on-board serial-to-USB converter (connecting to a PC through a USB cable)
- Reset button with one-shot reset (so button state can be read by firmware after board reset, e.g. for a “reset to factory defaults” function)
- System status LED, port status LEDs
- 12Vdc power in socket
Overview
This is the evaluation board for the VSC7514 10-Port Gigabit Ethernet Switch (and the VSC7513).
