KSZ8893MQLI - 3-Port 10/100 Managed Ethernet Switch | Microchip
The Microchip Technology KSZ8893MQLI is an integrated three-port 10/100 Mbps Layer 2 managed Ethernet switch with integrated PHYs, CPU control and data interfaces, and support for 10/100 Base-FX/T/TX connectivity. The device is supplied in a 128-PQFP package measuring 14 x 20 mm and includes I2C and SPI host interfaces for configuration and control.
An Ethernet switch is a semiconductor that connects multiple physical-network endpoints, forwards Ethernet frames according to learned MAC addresses, and separates traffic into collision domains. A managed Layer 2 switch adds configurable functions such as rate limiting, tag- and port-based VLANs, QoS priority, management, Management Information Base counters, and RMII, MII, or SNI CPU interfaces. The KSZ8893 is positioned for low-port-count, cost-sensitive embedded networking systems.
The KSZ8893MQLI integrates three 10/100 Mbps Ethernet ports with PHYs and provides both management and data paths to an embedded processor. Supported management functions include rate limiting, VLAN operation, QoS priority, and MIB counters. I2C and SPI interfaces allow a host controller to configure the switch, while RMII, MII, and SNI options support processor-side connections. These capabilities make the device useful where several Fast Ethernet links must be consolidated without using a full-size external switch.
The KSZ8893 family supports copper and fiber-oriented 10/100 networking and can serve as the central Layer 2 forwarding element in industrial controllers, embedded servers, communications equipment, and network appliances. Its managed features allow designers to partition traffic, prioritize latency-sensitive packets, and monitor port activity. The 128-PQFP package provides a high pin count suitable for parallel MII, RMII, SNI, management, media, and power connections.
Typical deployments include factory automation controllers with Ethernet-connected sensors, compact industrial gateways, embedded network equipment, and OEM control systems. In these applications, the integrated PHYs reduce the number of discrete Ethernet components, while configurable VLAN and QoS features help separate equipment traffic from real-time control traffic. A processor can access switch registers and counters through I2C or SPI and connect through the supported CPU-side interface.
Design the PCB around the manufacturer’s complete pin-description table and reference layout. Preserve the required Ethernet magnetics path, differential pair geometry, grounding, decoupling, and interface timing. Because this is a 128-pin PQFP, pin escaping and via planning are particularly important for the 14 x 20 mm footprint. Confirm the precise pin functions, strap requirements, clocking arrangement, and external-component recommendations in the Microchip datasheet before schematic release.
This product page combines the manufacturer’s device description with package and sourcing information, practical integration guidance, and a parameter-level comparison framework. It helps engineers evaluate the KSZ8893MQLI against related Ethernet-interface options while keeping PCB compatibility, management features, and processor-interface requirements central to the selection decision.
