The KS8995X is a highly integrated layer-2 QoS switch with optimized BOM (Bill-Of-Materials) cost for low port count, cost-sensitive 10/100Mbps switch systems. It also provides an extensive feature set including three different QoS priority schemes, dual MII interface for BOM cost reduction, programmable rate limiting to offload CPU tasks, software & hardware power-down , MDC/MDIO control interface and port monitoring to effectively address both current and emerging Fast Ethernet applications. The KS8995X contains five 10/100 transceivers with patented mixed-signal low-power technology, five MAC (Media Access Control) units, a high-speed non-blocking switch fabric, a dedicated address lookup engine, and an on-chip frame buffer memory. All PHY units support 10Base-T and 100BaseTX. In addition, two of the PHY units support 100BaseFX(Ports 4 & 5).
