The BCM54880B0KFB from Broadcom is a high-performance 8-port Gigabit Ethernet transceiver that combines eight 10/100/1000BASE-T and BroadR-Reach™ PHYs on a single, power-efficient 65 nm CMOS chip. It’s designed for compact, high-density networking equipment, offering extended cable reach, low power consumption, and full IEEE Ethernet compliance in one integrated solution.  

The BCM56229B0IPBG from Broadcom (formerly Avago) is an L2+ Ethernet switch IC designed for access/edge-network applications. It features eight Gigabit Ethernet ports plus four ports supporting 1 G/2.5 G speeds, offering flexible connectivity for enterprise access or aggregation systems.

The M27C256B-70C6 from STMicroelectronics is a 256 Kbit (32K × 8) CMOS EPROM, available in both UV-erasable and OTP (One-Time Programmable) versions. With a 70 ns access time and TTL-compatible I/O, it’s well-suited for use in embedded systems, legacy equipment, and microprocessor-based designs. 

Operating from a single 5 V supply, the device offers low power consumption and features an electronic signature mode for quick identification during programming. Its compact 32-pin PQCC package ensures easy integration into a wide range of circuit boards. 

The PM7537A-F4EI from MaxLinear is a high-performance jitter attenuator and multi-output clock synthesizer designed for wireless networking and communication systems that demand precision timing. Built on MaxLinear’s proven SyntheCLK-ADV™ architecture, it delivers ultra-low jitter and superior phase noise performance across a wide frequency range. 

The BZV85-C10 from NXP Semiconductors is a 10 V ±5% Zener diode designed for reliable medium-power voltage regulation. Housed in a hermetically sealed DO-41 (SOD-66) glass package, it delivers robust performance with a total power dissipation of up to 1.3 W and a peak reverse power capability of 60 W.
