Highlights
EcoEthernet 2.0 green technology for
energy effi ciency
IEEE 802.3az Energy Effi cient Ethernet
(EEE) support
RGMII, SGMII, and QSGMII MAC interfaces
Applications
• RGMII-to-SGMII converters
Enterprise switches and routers
Home gateways and wireless routers
Microsemi’s new GbE PHY with award-winning EcoEthernet™
technology delivers best-in-class power consumption for RGMII-to-
SGMII designs.
VSC8552 is a dual port Gigabit Ethernet PHY with Microsemi's next-
generation EcoEthernet green technology for optimizing power in
Enterprise networks, data centers, and consumer electronics, while
providing support for legacy RGMII devices. VSC8552 supports two
dual media copper/fi ber ports with RGMII, SGMII, and QSGMII MAC
interfaces, delivering Carrier-quality Synchronous Ethernet for TDM
backhaul links, cellular base stations, and other SyncE applications.
VSC8552 features Microsem’s innovative EcoEthernet 2.0 technology
that supports Energy Effi cient Ethernet (EEE), ActiPHY™ automatic link
powerdown, and the PerfectReach™ intelligent algorithm that adjusts
power based on cable length.
The VSC8552 device optimizes power consumption in all link operating
speeds. It includes integrated temperature monitoring and smart fan
control for extending system life and reducing BOM costs. Adjustable
LED brightness control further reduces power consumption for end
users.
