The device runs in two modes. The first mode is a three port integrated switch and the second is as a three port switch with the third port decoupled from the physical port. In this mode access to the third MAC is provided using a reverse or forward MII (Media Independent Interface) such that an external MAC can be directly connected to the KS8993. This interface also supports the 7-wire (serial net- work interface) as used by some routing devices. Useful configurations include a stand alone three port switch as well as a two port switch with a routing element connected to the extra MII port. The additional port is also useful for public network interfacing.

This is achieved through I/O strapping at system reset time. On the media side, the KS8993 supports 10BaseT, 100BaseTX and 100BaseFX as specified by the IEEE 802.3 committee. Physical signal transmission and reception are enhanced through use of analog circuitry that makes the design more efficient and allows for lower power consumption and smaller chip die size.
