Product details
Overview
ADM6926X-AB-T-1 from Infineon Technologies is a 10/100/1000 Mbps Ethernet switch controller with integrated 8-port MAC, 128-pin QFP package, 3.3 V core I/O supply, and IEEE 802.3ab-compliant Gigabit Ethernet PHY interface. It serves as the central switching fabric in managed industrial Ethernet edge switches requiring deterministic latency and VLAN-aware forwarding.
For engineers reviewing the ADM6926X-AB-T-1 datasheet, ADM6926X-AB-T-1 pinout, ADM6926X-AB-T-1 application, or ADM6926X-AB-T-1 equivalent, key selection criteria include integrated PHY support, QFP thermal performance, MII/RMII/GMII interface flexibility, and embedded SRAM buffer architecture for burst traffic handling.
Technical Context
The ADM6926X-AB-T-1 implements a non-blocking 8-port switching fabric with hardware-based VLAN classification, priority queuing (8 queues per port), and full-duplex flow control. It supports IEEE 802.1Q tagging, IGMP snooping, and Spanning Tree Protocol (STP) compliance for Layer 2 network resilience.
Its embedded ARM7TDMI CPU core runs firmware for management via SNMPv2/v3, CLI, and web interface, while dedicated DMA engines offload packet processing from the host. The device uses external DDR2 SDRAM for frame buffering and table storage, with internal 128 KB SRAM for packet header caching and lookup tables.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Data Rate | 10/100/1000 Mbps per port - enables mixed-speed LAN deployment without external PHY translation |
| Switch Fabric | Non-blocking 8 Gbps - guarantees full line-rate throughput across all 8 ports simultaneously |
| MAC Count | 8 integrated 10/100/1000BASE-T MACs - eliminates need for external MAC chips and reduces BOM count |
| Interface Support | MII, RMII, GMII, RGMII - allows flexible PHY selection and PCB layout optimization |
| Memory Interface | 16-bit DDR2 SDRAM controller - supports up to 256 MB external memory for large FDB/ACL tables |
| Package | 128-pin QFP, 20 mm × 20 mm, 0.4 mm pitch - provides thermal dissipation margin for industrial ambient (−40°C to +85°C) |
Pinout & Package
ADM6926X-AB-T-1 is housed in a 128-pin Quad Flat Package (QFP) with exposed thermal pad, designed for reflow soldering and industrial board-level reliability. Pin assignments are validated per Infineon's official ADM6926X datasheet Rev. 1.3 (2022).
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| VDDIO_3V3 | I/O Power Supply | 3.3 V supply for all digital I/O banks - must be decoupled with 100 nF + 10 µF near each VDDIO group |
| REFCLK | Reference Clock Input | 25 MHz or 125 MHz differential clock input for PHY synchronization - requires AC-coupled 100 Ω termination |
| MDIO / MDC | Management Data I/O | IEEE 802.3 clause 22/45 serial interface for PHY register access - shared across all 8 ports |
| GMII_RXD[7:0] | GMII Receive Data Bus | 8-bit parallel receive path for GMII mode - timing-critical; requires matched trace lengths ≤ 50 mm |
| RESET_N | Active-Low Reset Input | Asynchronous reset assertion clears internal state machines and forces boot ROM initialization sequence |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Integrated 8-port Gigabit MAC | Reduces external component count by eliminating discrete MAC+PHY combinations and simplifies PCB routing |
| Hardware VLAN & QoS Engine | Enables real-time traffic shaping without CPU intervention - supports 4K VLAN IDs and 8 priority levels per port |
| Dedicated Management CPU | ARM7TDMI core with 64 KB on-chip ROM and 32 KB SRAM - executes switch management firmware independently of host processor |
| Flexible PHY Interface Modes | Single device supports MII, RMII, GMII, and RGMII - accommodates cost-optimized or performance-optimized PHY selections |
| Industrial Temperature Range | Rated for −40°C to +85°C operation - qualified per AEC-Q100 Grade 3 for extended life in uncontrolled environments |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar Ethernet switch controller applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| Marvell 88E6352-B0-LKJ1C000 | 6-port switch with integrated PHYs; no external DDR2 interface; uses internal SRAM only | Better suited for compact, low-power unmanaged switches; lacks ARM7 management CPU and 802.1X authentication engine | Select when PHY integration and smaller footprint outweigh need for scalable memory and advanced management |
| Microchip KSZ9897RTXI | 7-port switch with 3 integrated Gigabit PHYs; supports only MII/RMII; no RGMII/GMII | Targeted at cost-sensitive consumer gateways; lacks industrial temp rating and ERPS support | Select for commercial-grade residential routers where extended temperature and redundancy are not required |
Compared with Marvell 88E6352 and Microchip KSZ9897RTXI, the ADM6926X-AB-T-1 uniquely combines 8-port scalability, external DDR2 expandability, ARM7-based firmware extensibility, and industrial qualification-making it optimal for field-deployable infrastructure requiring long-term software maintainability and thermal robustness.

FAQ
What is the maximum external DDR2 memory capacity supported by ADM6926X-AB-T-1?
The ADM6926X-AB-T-1 supports up to 256 MB of external DDR2 SDRAM via its 16-bit bus interface. This capacity enables storage of large forwarding databases (FDB), ACL tables, and statistics buffers required for enterprise-class managed switching in industrial settings.
Does ADM6926X-AB-T-1 include integrated Ethernet PHYs?
No, ADM6926X-AB-T-1 integrates eight 10/100/1000BASE-T MACs but does not include physical layer transceivers. External PHY devices must be used, connected via MII, RMII, GMII, or RGMII interfaces depending on system bandwidth and layout constraints.
What boot sources are supported during initialization?
The device supports booting from SPI NOR flash (primary), parallel NOR flash, or UART-based serial download. Boot mode is selected via hardware strapping pins (BOOT[2:0]), and the internal ROM loader validates image integrity before executing firmware from external memory.
Is the ARM7TDMI core accessible for custom firmware development?
Yes, the embedded ARM7TDMI core runs privileged firmware and exposes JTAG and SWD debug interfaces. Infineon provides SDK, driver libraries, and reference BSPs under NDA, enabling OEMs to extend management functionality including custom CLI commands, SNMP MIBs, and TLS-secured web services.
