The next-generation switch family from Microchip delivers a flexible Enterprise and Industrial Ethernet solution.

The VSC7440 SparX-IV-34 device is an SMB/SME Ethernet switch with up to 10 ports supporting a combination of 1G, 2.5G, and 10G Ethernet ports.

The device provides a rich set of Enterprise Ethernet switching features. Using multistage Versatile TCAM technology (VCAP), it delivers VLAN and QoS processing that enables delivery of differentiated services, security through intelligent frame processing, and egress frame manipulation.

For industrial applications, VSC7440 integrates VeriTime, Microchip’s patent-pending timing technology that delivers the industry’s most accurate IEEE 1588v2 time stamping. Combined with the PTP software and an advanced Servo algorithm, offers the most accurate 1588 solution.

A powerful 500 MHz CPU enables full management of a Layer 2 and Layer 3 Ethernet switch solution.

A comprehensive application programming interface (API) and a software development package (SDK) accelerate time-to-market for managed Ethernet applications. The software API package integrates easily with third-party software, preserving existing software investments.
