BCM56670C0IFSBG

BCM56670C0IFSBG is a Broadcom switch-ASIC (BCM56670 family, StrataXGS) used in enterprise and data-center switches. The “C0” denotes revision, while “IFSBG” is a package/feature code for this SKU. It provides high-performance, line-rate L2/L3 switching with hardware QoS, ACLs, VLANs, and IP routing. The device is typically paired with external PHYs to achieve high port densities and speeds (1/10/40/100 GbE depending on the board design). Exact capabilities—port count, memory, supported protocols—vary by OEM design and firmware. For precise specs, consult the BCM56670 datasheet and your vendor’s product brief.

BCM56670C0IFSBG features (Summary):
- Broadcom StrataXGS II switch SoC with high-performance, low-latency forwarding
- Flexible port support for 1G/10G Ethernet (copper and fiber interfaces) and scalable uplink options
- Hardware-based ACLs and advanced QoS (multiple queues, shaping, policing)
- Comprehensive Layer 2: VLANs (802.1Q, QinQ), STP/RSTP/MSTP, LACP, link aggregation
- Layer 3 routing: IPv4/IPv6 routing with static routes; supports common dynamic routing on supported platforms
- Multicast: IGMP/MLD snooping and multicast routing
- Jumbo frames support (up to 9K)
- Management and control: CLI, SNMP, RMON, NetFlow/IPFIX; SSH/Telnet; remote image upgrade
- Security and reliability features for mid-range switches
- Energy-efficient design with scalable fabric architecture
Note: exact port counts and uplink configurations vary by platform/revision; BCM56670C0IFSBG is a StrataXGS II family device intended for mid-range switching deployments.

Pin count: 1156-pin BGA (package for BCM56670C0IFSBG).
Function: Broadcom StrataXGS Ethernet switch ASIC (switching core/SoC) with integrated switch fabric and MACs, used as the core of high-density Ethernet switches; requires external PHYs and memory for full operation.

Manufacturer: Broadcom Inc.
Company type: An American multinational semiconductor company (fabless) that designs and sells a wide range of silicon solutions and infrastructure software for networking, data centers, storage, wireless, and broadband markets.

BCM56670C0IFSBG is a high‑density Broadcom switch‑ASIC. Typical application areas:
- Enterprise campus/branch switches (L2/L3 routing, QoS, ACLs, security)
- Data center leaf/aggregation switches (high port density, virtualization support)
- Service provider access/edge devices (reliable, scalable Ethernet connectivity)
- Network appliances requiring high performance, programmability, and SDN readiness
It enables features like VLANs, multicast, basic routing, QoS, and scalable switching for both traditional and virtualized networks.

It uses an FBGA (Fine-pitch Ball Grid Array) package.
