Overview
   VSC8584-11 is a low-power, quad-port Gigabit Ethernet transceiver with four SerDes interfaces for quadport dual media capability. It also includes an integrated quad-port two-wire serial multiplexer (MUX) to control SFPs or PoE modules. It has a low electromagnetic interference (EMI) line driver, and integrated line side termination resistors that conserve both power and printed circuit board (PCB) space.

   The VSC8584-11 device includes Intellisec™, Microsemi’s implementation of IEEE 802.1AE 128/256-bit MACsec protocols to meet the security requirements for protecting data traversing Ethernet LANs. It does input classification, frame encryption/decryption, performance, and latency monitoring.

   The VSC8584-11 includes VeriTime™, Microsemi’s patent-pending timing technology that delivers the industry’s most accurate IEEE 1588v2 timing implementation. IEEE 1588v2 timing integrated in the VSC8584-11 device is the quickest, lowest cost method of implementing the timing accuracy to maintain existing timing-critical capabilities during the migration from TDM to packet-based architectures.
