Typical Ethernet Switch Systems
The top network equipment manufacturers
use multiple Pericom devices in their products. See Fig. 1 for
a generic overview of the Gigabit Ethernet Switch system.

GB Ethernet Solutions
A typical Ethernet switch can be looked at on 2 different levels:
Control & Data
(fig. 2), and Clock & Timing (fig 3). Pericom has solutions for each
of these 2 levels of timing and control needs.

Pericom devices that are used in both of these needs for Gigabit
Ethernet Switches fall under two types of product:
These devices are used for Clock/Timing needs in a switch to provide
low jitter CMOS/TTL and LVPECL solutions with improved performance
at a lower cost:
