Broadcom expands its Gigabit Ethernet IC family with new chips supporting IEEE802.3az

Broadcom Corporation has added 3 new gigabit Ethernet chips to its family of Ethernet switch ICs for use in home and small-to-medium-sized business (SMB) networking applications. These chips based on Broadcom's Intelligent Power Management (IPM) technology, adapt to the physical conditions of the network, lowering power consumption by 70 percent or more when the network is active and up to 95 percent during down time claims Broadcom.

The new devices include:
The BCM53125 highly integrated 7-port GbE multilayer switch for desktop, wireless router and gateway applications.
The BCM53128 highly integrated 9-port GbE switch for unmanaged switches, routers and gateway applications.
The BCM53324 series highly integrated 24-port GbE switch for unmanaged and smart switch applications.
All products are immediately available in volume production.

These devices support IEEE802.3az specification for EEE and extend the 802.3az EEE capability to convert any legacy non-EEE complaint devices.

Ed Redmond, Senior Director of Connectivity, Processor & Security Solutions said "As energy costs continue to climb and environmental impact remains top of mind for many organizations, energy efficient networking can have a significant impact on the bottom line while also reducing carbon footprint. Broadcom continues to drive innovation in communication technology through its leadership and development of energy efficient solutions that increase overall performance of the network while significantly reducing power consumption."

Broadcom said it will demonstrate its latest EEE switch solutions for home and SMB applications at the 2011 Computex conference and exposition in Taiwan May 31 - June 4.
