SI3215DCQ1-EVB

The SI3215DCQ1-EVB is an evaluation and demonstration board designed to help designers evaluate Infineon\'s Si3215 DCQ1 4-channel Ethernet Switch and PHY. This board features an 8-port GbE PHY with Traffic Generator and Analyzer capability that allows designers to test and debug a wide range of Ethernet switching applications.

The SI3215DCQ1-EVB utilizes eight independent Ethernet PHYs. Each of the PHYs is capable of up to 4 Gbps full-duplex throughput with PHY-level features including auto-negotiation, port protection, link quality monitoring, and link setup. The Traffic Generator and Analyzer feature provides the ability to test throughput from a single Ethernet port to a series of ports simultaneously. The SI3215DCQ1-EVB board also includes an on-board port monitoring system that allows users to observe port activity in real-time, while at the same time providing performance measurements.

The SI3215DCQ1-EVB is powered by a 3.3V DC power supply. The board contains an LED indicator to indicate power and PHY link status. The board also has a USB connection for communication with a host device, allowing for optimization and configuration of the Si3215 DCQ1. Additionally, the board has two breakout headers for connecting to external devices such as Ethernet cables, RS232 devices, and Ethernet switches.

The SI3215DCQ1-EVB board provides designers with the capability to test and debug their Ethernet application with its wide range of features. Features such as the traffic generator and analyzer allow for thorough testing of the Ethernet ports, while the port monitoring system allows designers to monitor port activity and performance in real-time. Furthermore, the board includes a USB connection for communication with a host device to optimize and configure the Si3215 DCQ1 hardware. The SI3215DCQ1-EVB board is designed to help designers efficiently evaluate the performance of their Ethernet applications.
