Overview

The Microchip LAN7800I/VSX is a high-performance USB 3.1 Gen 1 to Gigabit Ethernet controller designed for applications requiring high-bandwidth network connectivity. It integrates a SuperSpeed USB controller, a 10/100/1000 Base-TX PHY, and an Ethernet MAC. This device supports a wide operating temperature range from -40C to 85C, making it suitable for industrial and embedded environments.

Why Choose This Part

Engineers benefit from the LAN7800I/VSX's SuperSpeed USB 3.1 Gen 1 interface, supporting up to 5 Gbps, which eliminates bottlenecks common with older USB-to-Ethernet solutions. Its integrated 10/100/1000 Base-TX PHY ensures compatibility with various network infrastructures. Advanced features like Energy Efficient Ethernet, Wake on LAN, and checksum offloading reduce host CPU overhead and power consumption, making it suitable for power-sensitive applications.
