Single-Chip 28 x 1 Gbit/s Layer 2+ Ethernet Switch
Product Brief

Description
The ET4028-50 is part of Agere’s FMS gigabit Ethernet
switch product family. The ET4028-50 is a highly inte-
grated and fully featured Layer 2 Ethernet bridge with
integrated MACs, packet buffers, and address tables.
When combined with three ET1081 Octal PHYs, the
ET4028-50 enables the implementation of a minimal
component system that translates to low cost and high
reliability. The ET4028-50 contains 28
IEEE
compliant
802.3z 10/100/1000 Mbits/s Ethernet MACs. Twenty-
four of the MACs connect to external ET1081 Octal
PHYs via 6-pin LVDS SGMII interfaces. Four of the
MACs can be connected to external fiber PHYs via
SerDes interfaces.
The ET4028-50 features an integrated L2/L3/L4 packet
classification engine. The result of each packet classifi-
cation is used to determine the packet’s quality of ser-
vice treatment and access control. Access to network
by individual desktops can be controlled by L2 MAC
address and TCP/IP layer provisioning. Each port sup-
ports up to eight traffic class queues. Each packet is
assigned to a class queue based on the 802.1p coding
or IP TOS/DSCP. Incoming traffic is policed to ensure
the optimum use of network resources. Outgoing traffic
is scheduled or shaped according to the traffic class
and network resource usage.
Integrated address tables and packet buffers enable
full bandwidth bridging on all ports with any legitimate
frame length. All internal operations are at wire speed.
A reference system design kit is available for the
ET4028-50. For more detailed product and reference
design information, please contact Agere’s local sales
office.
