Micrel’s innovative EtherSynch™ technol-
ogy combines Ethernet communications,
IEEE 1588v2 distributed synchronization,
and precision GPIO in a highly-integrated,
energy-efficient solution. A hardware-based
architecture provides extensive synchroniza-
tion and communications processing, freeing
the limited host CPU resources. Precision
GPIO extends the system synchronization to
locally-connected devices through a
highly-configurable GPIO facility that
reduces the per-device cost for Ethernet
attachments.

KSZ84xx EtherSynch™
IEEE 1588v2 Over Ethernet Product Family
KSZ8463MLI/RLI — EtherSynch IEEE 1588v2 3-Port 10/100
Switch with MII/RMII Interface
The KSZ8463 switch family enables end-device attachments for industrial Ethernet and power
substation automation networks. Key applications include industrial Ethernet standards,
including EtherNet/IP™, PROFINET^®, Modbus TCP™, and POWERLINK, along with IEC 61850
electrical power substation automation networks that employ distributed (ring or linear) topologies.
The KSZ8463 switch simplifies integration with host CPUs that provide an embedded
Ethernet MAC and has been optimized to offload synchronization and communications host
processing through its hardwire-intensive architecture.
Micrel offers a precision timing protocol (PTPv2) synchronization stack solution integrated with
the KSZ8463 driver to accelerate the design cycle. The KSZ8463 switch is also interoperable with
leading third- party PTP stacks.
Micrel features the industry’s most robust and cost-effective Ethernet switches and physical layer
tranceivers, built upon Micrel’s low-power physical layer technology, advanced power management,
and innovative design.
