IP178A is an 8 port 10/100 Ethernet integrated switch. It consists of an 8-port switch controller and eight Fast Ethernet transceivers. Each of the transceivers complies with the IEEE802.3, IEEE802.3u, and IEEE802.3x specifications. The transceivers in IP178A are designed in DSP approach with advance 0.25um technology; this results in high noise immunity and robust performance.
Two ports of IP178A can be configured as 100BaseFX.
The IP178A operates in store and forward mode. It stores the incoming packet to the internal SSRAM and learns the SA (source address) automatically if the packet is error free. The SA is stored to the internal address table.
IP178A forwards a packet according to DA and address table. When the segments of destination ports are free, it reads the packet from the internal SSRAM and forwards it to the appropriate ports according to the address table.
The incoming packets with errors are dropped. IP178A supports IEEE802.3x, optional backpressure, Auto MDI/MDI-X, CoS, port base VLAN, one MII port and various LED functions, etc.
These functions can be configured to fit the different requirements by feeding operation parameters via EEPROM interface or pull up/down resistors on specified pins.
