Ethenet Multiplexers

Hi All,

Can anyone please tell me about some good links or documents, paprs, Case Studies etc. on Implementing Ethernet Multiplexers using FPGAs

THanks & Regards Kedar

Hi All,

I haven't seen much replies on My Questions ...? are they too foolish or every body is too busy in there works

can anybody please tell me or guide me to some sites documents or books on the implementation of Ethernet Multiplexers

There's no real point when you can buy a switch IC for $20. Its less than the cost of the FPGA and includes the PHY.

We actually use a Marvell ... which will even allow clocks to be sourced from the FPGA instead of the other way around. Its so simple and gives 4 ports + CPU + FPGA... no need to even worry. That way you don't have to worry about filtering, forwarding, VLANs, priorities etc.

P.S. Almost all Ethernet switching IC's are under NDA as the companies are paranoid about someone stealing their design.

Hi Simon

Thanks for your reply

can I get the data sheets of such ICS I tried searching on net but it is not easily available

Regards, Kedar

you should read the message.. its all under NDA.. you have to apply to Marvell ..

That's their web site.

thanks Simon I had read the message but I was asking in general not specific to Marvell Thanks once again

Regards Kedar
