BCM5464RA1KFBG Quad-port Gigabit Ethernet transceiver
The BCM5464RA1KFBG is a Quad-Port 1000/100/10BASE-T Gigabit Ethernet Transceiver designed by Broadcom (formerly Avago Technologies) for high-density networking applications. Built on a BGA256 package, this device supports auto-negotiation across 10Mbps, 100Mbps, and 1000Mbps Ethernet standards, ensuring compatibility with legacy and modern infrastructure. It integrates four independent transceiver channels, each capable of delivering up to 1Gbps throughput with low power consumption (typical 1.2W per port). The chip operates across a wide supply voltage range (1.0V–1.26V) and meets IEEE 802.3ab/u/z compliance, making it ideal for enterprise switches, data center servers, and industrial networking equipment.
Applications
This transceiver is widely deployed in high-performance computing clusters, where it enables low-latency communication between servers and storage arrays. In 5G base stations, it provides reliable backhaul connectivity for small cells and macrocells. The BCM5464RA1KFBG is also used in smart factory automation to link PLCs, sensors, and HMI panels via Ethernet/IP protocols. Additionally, its compact form factor suits embedded systems like medical imaging devices and surveillance cameras, where space and power efficiency are critical.
BGA256 Ethernet IC Alternative Models
● BCM5464S: A similar quad-port transceiver with lower power consumption (0.9W per port) but reduced operating temperature range (-20°C to +70°C), ideal for consumer-grade routers.
● BCM54680: Offers eight ports in a BGA484 package, doubling the density for data center top-of-rack switches.
● BCM54616: A 16-port variant with integrated 10G SFP+ cages, targeting high-speed core networking equipment.
● RTL8211F: A cost-effective alternative from Realtek with similar port count but limited diagnostic features, suitable for budget-conscious SOHO applications.
