Product details
Overview
SJA1105ELY from NXP Semiconductors is a 5-port IEEE 802.3-compliant automotive Ethernet switch supporting MII, RMII, and RGMII per port, with 128 kB frame buffer, 1024-entry MAC learning table, and hardware AVB (IEEE 802.1AS/802.1Qav) support. It operates across −40 °C to +105 °C and is AEC-Q100 qualified for gateway, body domain controller, and ECU daisy-chain applications.
For engineers reviewing the SJA1105ELY datasheet, SJA1105ELY pinout, SJA1105ELY application, or SJA1105ELY equivalent, key selection considerations include per-port interface mode configurability (MII/RMII/RGMII), AVB timestamping and credit-based shaping, deterministic frame handling up to 1 Gbit/s, and LFBGA159 package compatibility with automotive thermal and ESD requirements.
Technical Context
The SJA1105ELY implements a store-and-forward architecture with dynamic memory management (DMM/FMC/FBM) for frame buffering and scheduling. Its Clock Generation Unit (CGU) delivers 25 MHz system clock input and reference clock output, while the SPI slave interface (up to 25 MHz, mode 1) enables host configuration of VLAN, address lookup, policing, and forwarding tables.
Hardware-accelerated AVB functions include IEEE 1588v2 one-step sync forwarding, ingress/egress per-port timestamping, ten configurable credit-based shapers, and support for AVB SR Classes A/B/C. The device lacks TTEthernet/TSN features-those are exclusive to the SJA1105TEL variant.

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar automotive Ethernet switching applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| Marvell 88Q5050 | 5-port automotive switch with integrated 100BASE-T1 PHYs; supports TSN (802.1Qbv/Qbu); larger 169-pin BGA package | Eliminates need for external PHYs but increases BOM count; targets higher integration tier than SJA1105ELY's PHY-agnostic design | Select when PHY integration and TSN determinism outweigh cost and layout flexibility advantages of discrete PHY + SJA1105ELY |
| NXP SJA1105P | Pin-compatible successor with enhanced TSN support (802.1Qbv/Qci/Qcc), larger 256 kB buffer, and extended temperature range (−40 °C to +125 °C) | Backward-compatible configuration but requires updated firmware; suited for next-gen platforms needing future-proof TSN readiness | Select for new designs requiring long-term roadmap alignment and expanded deterministic networking capabilities beyond AVB |
Compared with Marvell 88Q5050 and NXP SJA1105P, the SJA1105ELY offers optimal balance of AVB performance, PHY interface flexibility, and proven AEC-Q100 deployment-making it ideal for cost-sensitive, non-TSN automotive gateways where discrete PHY selection and legacy software compatibility are priorities.

FAQ
What Ethernet interface modes does the SJA1105ELY support per port?
The SJA1105ELY supports MII, RMII, and RGMII modes on each of its five ports-configurable independently via SPI. MII and RMII operate at 10/100 Mbit/s; RGMII adds 1000 Mbit/s capability. Interface voltage levels (3.3 V or 2.5 V) are set per port group using VDDIO_MIIx pins. This flexibility allows direct connection to diverse PHYs including NXP's TJA1100 and standard Fast/Gigabit Ethernet transceivers. The SJA1105ELY does not support GMII or SGMII.
Does the SJA1105ELY support Time-Sensitive Networking (TSN) features like IEEE 802.1Qbv?
No, the SJA1105ELY does not support TSN features such as IEEE 802.1Qbv (time-aware shaper) or 802.1Qci (per-stream policing). These capabilities are exclusive to the SJA1105TEL variant. The SJA1105ELY implements full Audio Video Bridging (AVB) per IEEE 802.1AS and 802.1Qav-including hardware timestamping, credit-based shapers, and 1588v2 one-step sync forwarding-but lacks deterministic time-triggered scheduling required for TSN. For TSN deployments, consider the SJA1105TEL or newer SJA1105P.
What is the role of the SPI interface on the SJA1105ELY, and what timing constraints apply?
The SPI interface on the SJA1105ELY serves as the primary host configuration and control channel, operating as a slave in Mode 1 (CPOL = 0, CPHA = 1) up to 25 MHz. It is used to load the initial configuration stream and access runtime registers for VLAN, address lookup, policing, and forwarding tables. Critical timing constraints include a >130 ns read-after-write delay for same-register access and a 64 ns delay between control and data phases when reading CGU registers-or alternatively, limiting SPI frequency to ≤17.8 MHz. The SJA1105ELY supports 1.8 V, 2.5 V, and 3.3 V host I/O via VDDIO_HOST.
How does the SJA1105ELY handle frame buffering and memory management?
The SJA1105ELY uses a 128 kB on-chip frame buffer managed by three coordinated blocks: Dynamic Memory Management (DMM), Frame Memory Controller (FMC), and Frame Buffer Management (FBM). The DMM allocates memory handles for ingress frames and tracks metadata; the FMC converts handles to virtual addresses; and the FBM optimizes physical memory usage based on frame size. This architecture enables store-and-forward operation with configurable partitioning per port, automatic frame dropping on overflow, and statistics collection for buffer load and dropped frames-ensuring deterministic latency and robust congestion handling in automotive networks.
Is the SJA1105ELY pin-compatible with other variants in the SJA1105 family?
Yes, the SJA1105ELY is pin-compatible with the SJA1105TEL variant-both use the LFBGA159 package with identical ball mapping and footprint. This allows hardware reuse across AVB-only (SJA1105ELY) and AVB+TSN (SJA1105TEL) designs. However, firmware and configuration differ significantly: the SJA1105TEL requires additional setup for virtual link lookup, policing, and schedule engine blocks. Pin compatibility does not extend to the SJA1105P, which uses a different package (LFBGA256) and revised pinout.
