The KSZ8995MAI is a highly integrated 5-port Ethernet switch controller, designed primarily for embedded Ethernet applications. It provides a cost-effective and compact solution by integrating all the necessary functions required for an Ethernet switch system.
One of the key features of the KSZ8995MAI is its ability to support up to 5 independent ports, making it suitable for small-scale network applications. It supports both 10BASE-T and 100BASE-TX Ethernet interfaces, allowing for flexible connection options. The auto-negotiation feature enables the switch to automatically determine the optimal speed and duplex mode for each port.
The switch also incorporates various advanced features to enhance network performance and management. It supports Quality of Service (QoS) functionality, enabling prioritization of network traffic to ensure high-performance applications receive sufficient bandwidth. It also includes support for VLAN (Virtual Local Area Network), which facilitates network segmentation for improved security and efficiency.
Another notable feature of the KSZ8995MAI is its comprehensive set of built-in diagnostic tools. It includes a loopback mode that helps in isolating points of failure and assists with system troubleshooting. Additionally, the integrated cable diagnostics feature allows for detection and reporting of cable faults or deficiencies.
To simplify design and implementation, the KSZ8995MAI employs a flexible, industry-standard MII (Media Independent Interface) for connection to external PHY (Physical Layer) devices
