PM3350 (one for every eight ports), ? two 256k 16-bit 60 ns edo or fast page mode dram chips per elan 8 10 chip, ? an eprom or eeprom (initialization, configuration, snmp support firmware), ? quad ethernet interface adapters (lxt944), and ? appropriate passive components. a block diagram of a typical 8-port 10baset stackable switch is shown. low-cost 10/100 mbit/s switches the elan 8 10 chip can be part of a fully managed 10/100 switch using the pm3351 elan 1 100 10/100 mbit/s switch chip. together they can form a workgroup or desktop application. a block diagram of a typical 32-port 10baset stackable switch with two 10/100 mbit/s ports is shown. the pci expansion bus is used to seamlessly connect the elan 8 10s and elan 1 100s.
