26-Port Layer-2 Gigabit Ethernet Switch with 12 Fully Integrated Copper PHYs and Embedded 416 MHz CPU

The VSC7427 is the industry’s first fully integrated 26-port Gigabit Ethernet switch with 12 copper PHYs in a single package. In conjunction with Vitesse’s 12-port PHY VSC8512 or VSC8522, an 26-port switch can be designed using only two ICs. The VSC7427 leverages Vitesse’s new 65 nm SimpliPHY™ technology, resulting in the one of the most cost-effective and lowest power consumption devices in the industry. The dual chip solution combines the most advanced Ethernet energy efficiency features for bringing green technology solutions to market. The VSC7427 provides a rich set of Small Medium Enterprise (SME) Ethernet switching features such as Layer-2 forwarding with advanced TCAM-based VLAN and QoS processing, enabling the delivery of differentiated services. Security is ensured through frame processing using a TCAM-based Vitesse Content Aware Processor (VCAP-II). The VSC7427 contains a powerful 416 MHz CPU, enabling full management of the switch. A comprehensive application programming interface (API) and software development package is available for Layer-2 Managed Ethernet applications for faster time-to-market. The software API package integrates easily with third-party software, preserving existing software investments.
