Share This Post
This report presents a Digital Floorplan Analysis of the Broadcom BCM88920 die found inside the Broadcom StrataDNXTM Ramon3 Fabric Element device package. The BCM88920A0KFRBG package came to TechInsights as a standalone component. According to Broadcom, the BCM88920 StrataDNXTM Ramon3 Fabric Element device is a sixth generation in the StrataDNX™ product line of Fabric Element (FE) devices and is a self-routing cell-based switching element. Together with the BCM88860 / BCM88890, the BCM88920 provides a complete solution for switching fabric, traffic management, packet processing, and network interfaces. Switching platforms can scale up to 50,000 400GbE ports or 25,000 800GbE ports. The BCM88920 provides scalability in three dimensions: port rates, port count, and traffic management services, allowing the user to connect mixed-rate line cards, for example 4.8 Tb/s through 30.4 Tb/s each, with various traffic management schemes. It is designed for secure and efficient edge AI processing of smart display IoT applications that combine video with smart speaker and local touch display capabilities.
