[0023] The technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention are described clearly and completely below. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the present invention, not all of them. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without creative work are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0024] like Figure 1 As shown, the present invention uses the SF2507EBI switch chip of Nanfei Microelectronics to realize seven-port Gigabit Ethernet switching. The power input range of the design is DC9V-DC36V, 7-way RJ45 standard network ports are designed, the communication rate supports 10M / 100M / 1000M, and 7-port network data exchange can be realized.

[0025] The power supply designed by this invention adopts two-stage power conversion. The first stage adopts an isolated DC-DC power module with an input range of DC9V-DC36V, an output of DC12V, and an output power of 10W, ensuring the isolation of the external input power supply and the subsequent functional circuit. The second stage power conversion adopts a DC-DC power chip to convert DC12V into DC3.3V and DC1.1V for use by the switching chip and other functional circuits. At the same time, the external power input end is designed with a power reverse connection and surge protection circuit to prevent positive and negative reverse connection and surge peak voltage from damaging the circuit. The power supply design schematic diagram is as follows Figure 2 shown.

[0026] The switching circuit is designed based on Nanfei Microelectronics' SF2507EBI switching chip. The SF2507EBI integrates a CPU and a 5-port 10M / 100M / 1000M PHY, and each port supports full-duplex (10 / 100 / 1000M); it also integrates 2 GMAC expansion ports, supports RGMII / RMII / MII protocols, and can expand 2 Ethernet interfaces. The use of SF2507EB I can achieve 5+2-port 10 / 100 / 1000M high-performance Ethernet switching. In addition, the SF2507EBI also integrates high-speed switching system functions: switching processing protocol, packet cache SRAM, non-blocking switching structure and internal register management. The clock source of the SF2507EB I only requires a 25MHz crystal or crystal oscillator, and the internal register initialization configuration can be completed through an external Flash or EEPROM. The switching chip circuit design is as follows Figure 3 shown.

[0027] SF2507EBI integrates 5 Ethernet PHYs. By directly connecting 5 Gigabit Ethernet differential signals to the peripheral network transformer and RJ45 interface, you can design a Gigabit Ethernet interface. Figure 4 shown.

[0028] SF2507EBI integrates 2 GMAC expansion ports, supports RGMII / RMII / MII protocols, and uses RGMII in the design. It uses an external Ethernet PHY chip to expand 2 Ethernet interface signals, and then connects the network transformer and RJ45 interface to obtain two Gigabit Ethernet interfaces. The Ethernet PHY chip is designed using Yutai Microelectronics YT8521S. The design circuit is as follows Figure 5 shown.

[0029] The reset circuit uses the power monitoring and reset chip SGM809B-SXN3LG / TR for reset circuit design. This chip can monitor the 3.3V voltage that powers the switch chip. When the voltage is lower than 2.93V, it will output a low-level reset signal to reset the switch chip. Figure 6 shown.

[0030] The EEPROM uses a 256kb EEPROM memory, which communicates with the switch chip through the I2C interface and is used to store the burned firmware. Figure 7 shown.

[0031] The UART interface design of the switch chip uses an RS232 transceiver to expand an RS232 interface. The firmware of the EEPROM plug-in of the switch chip can be upgraded through the RS232 interface. The RS232 transceiver is designed using SI T3232SUEE from Xinlite. The design schematic diagram is as follows Figure 8 shown.

[0032] It will be apparent to those skilled in the art that the present invention is not limited to the details of the exemplary embodiments described above and that the present invention can be implemented in other specific forms without departing from the spirit or essential features of the present invention. Therefore, the embodiments should be considered exemplary and non-restrictive in all respects, and the scope of the present invention is defined by the appended claims rather than the above description, and it is intended that all changes falling within the meaning and scope of the equivalent elements of the claims be included in the present invention.

[0033] In addition, it should be understood that although this specification is described according to implementation methods, not every implementation method contains only one independent technical solution. This narrative method of the specification is only for the sake of clarity. Those skilled in the art should regard the specification as a whole. The technical solutions in each embodiment have also been appropriately combined to form other implementation methods that are easy for those skilled in the art to understand.
