BCM65230C0IFSBG

BCM65230C0IFSBG is a Broadcom system-on-chip (SoC) from the BCM65230 family. It’s a vendor-specific, likely network-focused SoC used in consumer networking gear (e.g., gateways, set-top boxes, routers) and similar devices. Public, full datasheets for this exact variant are typically restricted to Broadcom customers, so detailed specs aren’t widely published.
What you can generally expect:
- Integrated processing core (CPU) and specialized network processing capabilities
- Interfaces common on BCM networking SoCs (Ethernet MACs, PCIe, USB, memory controller, DMA)
- Support for features used in gateways/modems (packet acceleration, QoS, security engines) depending on the exact variant
Suffix hints:
- The C0IFSBG tail denotes package/variant details used by Broadcom for manufacturing and pinout, not typically user-facing.
If you need precise specs, obtain the datasheet from Broadcom’s partner portal or contact Broadcom support. If you can share device context or a datasheet excerpt, I can help interpret the features and pinout more specifically.

BCM65230C0IFSBG is Broadcom’s GbE switch IC used in home gateways. Core features typically include:
- 4-port Gigabit Ethernet switch with integrated MAC/PHY and a host interface
- 802.1Q VLAN support (multiple VLANs) and per-port QoS (802.1p/DSCP) with rate limiting
- IGMP/MLD snooping for efficient multicast
- Jumbo frames support (up to ~9 KB) and frame flow control
- Hardware-based switching with favorable throughput/latency
- Energy Efficient Ethernet (EEE) support
- Management via host SoC (SNMP, CLI, or Web) through the CPU interface
Notes:
- Exact feature set (port count, MAC address table size, clocking options) depends on revision and package. For precise specs, consult the official datasheet for BCM65230C0IFSBG.

- Manufacturer: Broadcom Inc. (often listed as Broadcom).
- What kind of company: A global fabless semiconductor and infrastructure software company that designs and sells a wide range of chips for communications, networking, storage, wireless, and related applications.

Typical application areas for BCM65230C0IFSBG include:
