Product details
Overview
KSZ8382Q from Microchip (formerly Micrel) is a VoIP System-on-Chip integrating a 125MHz MIPS32 4KEc CPU, 125MHz ZSP400 DSP, dual 10/100 Base-T MAC/PHY with IEEE 802.3az Energy Efficient Ethernet, and a 3-port switch - enabling IP phones and intercom systems with HD wideband voice (G.722.2, G.711.1), echo cancellation (G.167, 128ms tail), and SIP/RTP stack support.
For engineers reviewing the KSZ8382Q datasheet, KSZ8382Q pinout, KSZ8382Q application, or KSZ8382Q equivalent, key selection considerations include its fixed 125MHz CPU/DSP clock pairing, integrated DDR2/SDRAM memory controller, EEE-compliant Ethernet switch, and firmware-accessible SIP call manager, RTP/RTCP transport, and direct DSP resource control for custom VoIP stacks.
Technical Context
The KSZ8382Q implements a multiprocessor architecture with tightly coupled MIPS32 CPU and ZSP400 DSP cores, enabling concurrent SIP signaling (RFC 3261–3264), media processing (G.722.2, G.711.1), and adaptive jitter buffering. Its integrated 3-port Ethernet switch supports IEEE 802.1p QoS, 802.1Q VLANs, and IGMP v1/v2 snooping for multicast-aware VoIP deployment.
Hardware acceleration includes dedicated DTMF generation (TIA-464B), programmable call progress tones, SRTP (RFC 3711, 128-bit AES), SIP TLS, and STUN - all running on Linux kernel with boot loader and board support packages. Power delivery uses +3.3V supply with on-chip 1.2V core regulator.

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar VoIP SoC applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| KSZ8382L | 166 MHz CPU clock (vs. 125 MHz), same DSP clock and feature set. | Better suited for high-concurrency SIP registrations or complex GUI overlays requiring higher CPU headroom. | Select KSZ8382L when SIP transaction load exceeds 120 cps or when Linux UI rendering requires >100 DMIPS headroom. |
| KSZ8381 | Narrowband-only voice support (G.711/G.729A/B), no G.722.2/G.711.1 wideband codecs. | Targeted at cost-sensitive analog-to-IP migration where HD voice is not required. | Choose KSZ8381 only for legacy telephony replacement projects with strict BOM cost targets and no wideband requirement. |
Compared with KSZ8382L and KSZ8381, the KSZ8382Q offers balanced CPU/DSP clocks ideal for mid-tier IP phones and intercoms requiring wideband voice but not maximum SIP concurrency - delivering optimal power/performance trade-off with full EEE and security feature retention.

FAQ
What is the CPU and DSP clock speed of the KSZ8382Q?
The KSZ8382Q features a fixed 125 MHz MIPS32 4KEc CPU and a 125 MHz ZSP400 DSP. This symmetric clocking enables balanced real-time processing of SIP signaling and wideband voice codecs (G.722.2, G.711.1) without CPU starvation. Unlike the KSZ8382L variant, the KSZ8382Q does not support CPU overclocking - ensuring thermal stability in fanless IP phone enclosures.
Does the KSZ8382Q support Energy Efficient Ethernet (EEE)?
Yes, the KSZ8382Q integrates IEEE 802.3az-compliant Energy Efficient Ethernet in both MAC and PHY layers. It achieves sub-1W standby power consumption, meeting EU Ecodesign Directive 2005/32/EC requirements. This capability is implemented in hardware and requires no firmware modification - making KSZ8382Q suitable for PoE-powered endpoints with strict thermal budgets.
Can the KSZ8382Q operate without external SDRAM or DDR2 memory?
No, the KSZ8382Q requires external SDRAM or DDR2 memory for program execution and packet buffering. It lacks on-chip RAM sufficient for Linux kernel operation or SIP stack runtime. The device includes dedicated memory controllers with configurable timing parameters, but no internal memory beyond small cache and register files. Boot firmware must be loaded from external SPI NOR flash into external DRAM before execution.
What voice codecs are supported by the KSZ8382Q?
The KSZ8382Q supports narrowband codecs (G.711, G.723, G.726, G.729A/B, iLBC) and wideband codecs (G.722.2, G.711.1), along with G.167 echo cancellation (128ms tail), VAD, CNG, and PLC. All codecs execute on the ZSP400 DSP core. Wideband support is confirmed for KSZ8382Q in the official data brief - distinguishing it from the narrowband-only KSZ8381 variant.
Is the KSZ8382Q pin-compatible with other members of the KSZ8382 family?
No, the KSZ8382Q is not pin-compatible with KSZ8382L or KSZ8381. While all share the same 256-ball LFBGA package outline, ball assignments differ significantly - particularly for DDR2 vs. SDRAM address/control signals, clock routing, and power domain partitioning. Migration between variants requires PCB redesign and layout validation per Microchip's migration notes.
