KSZ9896CTXI

KSZ9896CTXI General Description

The KSZ9896 is a fully integrated layer 2, managed, six-port gigabit Ethernet switch with numerous advancedfeatures. Five of the six ports incorporate 10/100/1000Mbps PHYs. The sixth port has a MAC interface that canbe configured as GMII, RGMII, MII or RMII.

Full register access is available by SPI or I²C interfaces,and by optional in-band management via any of the data ports.PHY register access is provided by a MIIM interface.

Security features include support for IEEE 802.1X port-based authentication and Access Control List (ACL) filtering.

An assortment of power-management features includingEnergy-Efficient Ethernet (EEE) have been designed in tosatisfy energy efficient environments.
