VSC8514
Quad Port Gigabit Copper EEE PHY with Synchronous Ethernet and QSGMII MAC-to-PHY Interface
Smallest package footprint quad PHY.
The VSC8514 device is a quad port Gigabit Ethernet PHY featuring
Synchronous Ethernet and Microsemi's innovative EcoEthernet™
2.0 power-saving technologies such as IEEE 802.3az Energy
Efficient Ethernet (EEE), ActiPHY™ automatic link power down, and
PerfectReach™, an intelligent algorithm that adjusts power based on
cable length.
The VSC8514 device optimizes power consumption in all link operating
speeds. Adjustable LED brightness control further reduces power
consumption for end users.
