Description and Introduction

Single-Port Ethernet MAC Controller with Non-PCI Interface The KSZ8841-16MQL is a highly integrated, single-chip Ethernet switch manufactured by Microchip Technology (formerly Micrel). Here are the key specifications, descriptions, and features:

### **Specifications:**
- **Manufacturer:** Microchip Technology (Micrel)  
- **Part Number:** KSZ8841-16MQL  
- **Type:** 2-port 10/100 Managed Ethernet Switch  
- **Interface:** MII/RMII (for PHY or MAC connection)  
- **Data Rate:** 10/100 Mbps per port  
- **MAC Address Table:** 1K entries  
- **VLAN Support:** IEEE 802.1Q (up to 16 VLAN groups)  
- **QoS Support:** IEEE 802.1p (4 priority queues)  
- **Packet Buffer Memory:** 64 KB  
- **Operating Voltage:** 3.3V (I/O), 1.8V (core)

### **Descriptions:**  
The KSZ8841-16MQL is a cost-effective, low-power, managed Ethernet switch with two 10/100 ports. It integrates a high-performance switch engine, MAC, PHY transceivers, and memory into a single chip. It supports advanced features like VLAN, QoS, and traffic prioritization, making it suitable for industrial, embedded, and networking applications.  

### **Features:**  
- **Integrated Switch Fabric:** Full-duplex operation with non-blocking throughput.  
- **Auto-Negotiation:** Supports automatic speed and duplex detection.  
- **Flow Control:** IEEE 802.3x flow control for congestion management.  
- **Port Mirroring:** Supports monitoring of traffic on any port.  
- **Energy-Efficient Ethernet (EEE):** Compliant with IEEE 802.3az for reduced power consumption.  
- **Jumbo Frame Support:** Up to 2KB frame size.  
- **Management Interface:** SPI or I2C for configuration and monitoring.  
- **Security Features:** MAC address filtering and port-based access control.  

This device is commonly used in industrial automation, IP cameras, VoIP systems, and embedded networking applications.
