Microchip VSC5640EV | Demoboard VSC5640EV SPARX-5,-5I EVALUATION BOARD

Beschreibung

This hardware manual describes the design of the VSC5640EV reference board, demonstrating the SparX-5-200/VSC7558 Ethernet Switch device. The VSC5640EV reference board is based on PCB134 Reference Design schematic. Regarding basic board design, the SparX-5-200/VSC7558 and its derivatives, like: SparX-5-64/ 5 VSC7546, SparX-5 90/VSC7549, SparX-5-128/VSC7552 and SparX-5-160/VSC7556 are all very similar devices. They use the same BGA package, pin layout, number of SerDes macros and types,and incorporate the VCore-IV CPU system and associated interfaces. The main difference is the maximum bandwidth supported. The VSC5640EV reference board supports all these derivatives.

Eigenschaften

• 1x VSC7558 Switch (with Enterprise Ethernet features)
• 12x SFP+ front 10G module slots connected to VSC7558 through SFI
• 8x SFP28 front 25G module slots connected to VSC7558 through SFI high speed
• Optional, one additional 10/100/1000BASE-T (RJ45) Ethernet port using an on-board VSC8211 PHY, which can be connected to VSC7558 NPI port through SGMII by adding a loopback add-on PCB.
• On board Sync-E DPLL Redwood/ZL30772LFG7Q05S (replaceable with the cheaper non-PTP ZL30256, if SyncE and PTP operation is not required) to generate the 3 required clocks. Additional support for a range of Microchip Sync-E module designs through a Sync-E feature connector – note, that all clocks still go through the on-board DPLL.
• Four SMAs connectors and two ITU-T G.8275 compliant RS422 interfaces (1 PPS + ToD input and output) for Sync-E and PTP applications.
• Serial UART port (USB) for local management and software debugging by using a firmware driven Command Line Interface (CLI).
• Reset button at rear, and user input button on front.
• System status LED (bi-color green/red) and port status LED (bi-color green/yellow) per network port for link and activity indication.
• Standard 240/110VAC 200W PSU.
