LAN9696 Series

The LAN9696 is a 66 Gbps Ethernet Switch supporting a combination of 1G, 2.5G, 5G, and 10G Ethernet ports. The device provides a rich set of Ethernet switching features including TSN, L2 switching, L3 routing, HSR/PRP redundancy, and high-precision timing. Using multistage versatile content aware processor (VCAP) technology, it delivers VLAN and QoS processing that enables delivery of differentiated services, security through intelligent frame processing and flexible frame manipulation. A powerful 1 GHz single-core CPU enables full management of a Layer 2 and Layer 3 Ethernet switch solution. A comprehensive Application Programming Interface (API) and turnkey software development package accelerates time-to-market for managed Ethernet applications. The software API package integrates easily with third-party software, preserving existing software investments.
