IP178C/IP178CH is a product that integrates a 9-port switch controller, SSRAM, and 8 10/100 Ethernet transceivers. Each of the transceivers complies with the IEEE802.3, IEEE802.3u, and IEEE802.3x specifications. The transceivers are designed in DSP approach in 0.18um technology; they have high noise immunity and robust performance. IP178C/IP178CH operates in store and forward mode. It supports flow control, auto MDI/MDI-X, CoS, port base VLAN, bandwidth control, DiffServ, and SMA.

TC9208M is a fully integrated 8 port 10/100/1000 smart Ethernet switch controller designed for low cost and high performance solutions. The chip embeds necessary SSRAM for packet buffering and MAC address table. It provides MII / GMII interface for all ports. A store-and-forward switching method using a non-blocking architecture is implemented within TC9208M to improve the availability and bandwidth. The chip embeds packet buffer, which it supports normal and priority queues for each transmission port. TC9208M provides evolved CoS with four levels of priority. The priority can be checked via ip header and 802.1q vlan tag.
