4/4 Transceiver Full Ethernet 48-QFN (7x7)
Active

Overview

The KSZ9031RNXCA-TR is a highly integrated triple-speed 10/100/1000 Mbps Ethernet transceiver designed for data transmission over standard CAT-5 unshielded twisted pair cable. It features an RGMII interface for direct connection to Gigabit Ethernet MACs in processors and FPGAs, supporting data rates up to 1000 Mbps.

Why Choose This Part

The device features integrated LDO controller support for a single 3.3V supply operation and provides diagnostic features like LinkMD TDR-based cable diagnostics to identify wiring issues. It offers significant power savings with a standby current of only 300uA and supports on-chip termination resistors for the differential pairs.

Applications

Industrial Automation
High-speed communication links for programmable logic controllers and industrial Ethernet switches.
Networked Storage
Gigabit uplinks for NAS devices and media servers requiring low-latency data throughput.
Broadband Gateways
Integrated into CPE equipment to provide high-speed LAN connectivity for home and office environments.
