 LD9004 
            4-port 10/100/1000Mbps Layer 2 Ethernet Switch
 Version 1.0 
DESCRIPTION 
This Layer 2 Switch provides an ideal solution for the design of unmanaged full wire-speed 
multi-port Gigabit Ethernet (GbE) switches. Each port supports either 10/100/1000Mbps data 
rate. Flow controls, backpressure in half duplex mode and PAUSE frame in full duplex mode are 
employed to solve the HOL (Head of Line) blocking.  
This Layer 2 Switch integrates four half/full duplex mode 1000BASE Gigabit Ethernet MACs, 
wire speed switching engines, MAC address based Address Parsing Algorithm, Packet buffer 
memory. 
FEATURES 
• Supports four 10/100/1000 Mbps Ethernet ports with GMII/MII interface. 
• IEEE 802.3ab CSMA/CD Compliant 
• Full and half duplex mode of operation. 
• Speed and Duplex mode auto-negotiation through MDIO. 
• Self address learning mechanism supports 512 MAC address. 
• Automatic address aging with 300 seconds default. 
• 1Mbit packet buffer memory embedded 
• SPI interface employed to communicate with MCU. 
• IEEE802.3ab flow control for full duplex operation. 
• Supports Store-and-Forward mode of operation. 
• 0.18 micron, 1.8V CMOS technology packaged in 160-pin PQFP. 
• 3.3V I/O.
