Overview

The LAN8710AI-EZK-ABC is a high-performance, small-form-factor 10/100 Ethernet physical layer transceiver designed for industrial temperature applications. It supports both MII and RMII interfaces and utilizes flexPWR technology to provide significant power savings by integrating a 1.2V regulator.

Why Choose This Part

This transceiver features HP Auto-MDIX support, which automatically corrects for straight-through or crossover cabling errors. It offers industry-leading low-power modes, including Energy Detect Power-Down, which reduces consumption to 5.2uA when the network cable is unplugged.

Applications

Industrial Automation
Reliable Ethernet connectivity for PLC controllers and industrial networking equipment operating in harsh temperature environments.
Set-Top Boxes
Cost-effective networking for consumer media devices requiring a small footprint and low power consumption.
Embedded SBCs
Adding 10/100 Ethernet capabilities to single-board computers using the RMII interface to save microcontroller pins.
IP Cameras
Efficient data transmission for network cameras where low power dissipation is critical to manage thermal constraints.

Getting Started

To evaluate this IC, use the EVB-LAN8710 Evaluation Board which breaks out the MII/RMII signals for easy connection to an MCU or FPGA. Ensure the internal 1.2V regulator is correctly decoupled with low-ESR capacitors as specified in the datasheet to maintain stable operation.

Also Consider

LAN8720A MCHPMicrochip Technology - A popular RMII-only alternative that is frequently used in the ESP32 and STM32 ecosystems for basic Ethernet connectivity.
