Overview

The LAN8710A-EZC-ABC is a high-performance 10/100 Ethernet transceiver with a low-power design featuring Microchip's flexPWR technology. It supports both MII and RMII interfaces for communication with a variety of MACs and integrates a 1.2V regulator to simplify power rail management.

Why Choose This Part

This transceiver offers flexible power management with typical run currents as low as 21.2mA in 10BASE-T mode and a shutdown current of 1.4uA. It features HP Auto-MDIX support to automatically correct crossover cable issues and operates over a wide voltage range of 1.62V to 3.6V.

Applications

Industrial Automation
Reliable Ethernet connectivity for PLCs and industrial controllers requiring small footprint 32-SQFN packaging.
Networked Embedded Systems
Ideal for adding networking to set-top boxes, printers, and servers using standard SMI management interfaces.
Test Instrumentation
Provides stable 10/100 BASE-TX/10BASE-T communication for diagnostic and measurement equipment.

Getting Started

To evaluate this PHY, the LAN8710A Evaluation Board (EVB-LAN8710) provides a hardware platform for testing MII/RMII connectivity. Designers should ensure proper thermal pad soldering of the 5x5mm SQFN package and verify clock strapping options for the desired interface mode during power-up.
