KSZ8462HLI

The KSZ8462HLI is an ETHERSYNCH™ IEEE 1588v2-enabled Ethernet Switch, providing integrated communications and synchronization for a range of industrial Ethernet applications. A flexible 8- or 16-bit general bus interface is provided for interfacing to an external host processor. It enables distributed, daisy-chained topologies preferred for Industrial Ethernet networks. Conventional centralized (i.e., star-wired) topologies are also supported for dual-homed, fault tolerant arrangements. It incorporate the IEEE 1588v2 protocol. Sub-microsecond synchronization is available via the use of hardware based time stamping and transparent clocks making it the ideal solution for time synchronized Layer 2 communication in critical industrial applications. Extensive general purpose I/O (GPIO) capabilities are available to use with the IEEE 1588v2 PTP to efficiently and accurately interface to locally connected devices.
