VSC7414
11-Port Layer-2 SGMII Gigabit Ethernet Enterprise Switch with VeriTime™
Microsemi’s newest member of the SparX-III switch family delivers a
low-power solution for Enterprise routing, industrial switching solutions,
and Audio Video Bridging (AVB).
VSC7414 contains nine 10/100/1000 Mbps SGMII/SerDes ports
and two 1G/2.5G SGMII/SerDes ports. All ports support both
100BASE-FX and 1000BASE-X SerDes. VSC7414 provides a rich
set of Ethernet switching features such as Layer-2 forwarding with
advanced TCAM-based VLAN and QoS processing enabling delivery of
differentiated services.
For critical network timing applications, VSC7414 uses VeriTime™,
Microsemi’s patent-pending distributed timing technology that delivers
the industry’s most accurate IEEE 1588v2 timing implementation.
Security is assured through frame processing using a TCAM-based
Versatile Content Aware Processor (VCAP).
VSC7414 includes an embedded 416 MHz MIPS processor 32-bit CPU
with DDR2/DDR3 external memory.
A comprehensive application programming interface (API) and software
package are provided. The software package integrates easily with
third-party software, preserving existing software investments while
adding new, enhanced functionality.
