General Description
IP178C/IP178CH integrates a 9-port switch
controller, SSRAM, and 8 10/100 Ethernet
transceivers. Each of the transceivers complies
with the IEEE802.3, IEEE802.3u, and IEEE802.3x
specifications. The transceivers are designed in
DSP approach in 0.18um technology; they have
high noise immunity and robust performance.
IP178C/IP178CH operates in store and forward
mode. It supports flow control, auto MDI/MDI-X,
CoS, port base VLAN, bandwidth control, DiffServ,
SMART MAC and LED functions, etc. Each port
can be configured as auto-negotiation or forced 10
Mbps/100 Mbps, full/half duplex mode. Using an
EEPROM or pull up/down resistors on specific
pins can configure the desired options.
Besides an 8-port switch application,
IP178C/IP178CH supports one MII/RMII ports for
router application, which supports 7 LAN ports and
one WAN port. The external MAC can monitor or
configure IP178C/IP178CH by accessing MII
registers through SMI.
Note – some features need CPU support, please
refer to the detail description inside this data sheet
MII/RMII port also can be configured to be MAC
mode. It is used to interface an external PHY to
work as an 8+1 switch.
IP178CH supports two fiber ports with far end fault
function.
