MCHPLAN8720A-CP-ABC
Overview
The LAN8720A-CP-ABC is a high-performance, low-power 10/100 Ethernet transceiver designed for small footprint applications. It utilizes Microchip flexPWR technology to reduce power consumption while providing a flexible RMII interface for connecting to modern microcontrollers and SoCs. This device includes an integrated 1.2V regulator and HP Auto-MDIX support, simplifying the bill of materials for embedded designs.
Why Choose This Part
This transceiver offers a significant reduction in power consumption, drawing only 26mA during 100BASE-TX traffic. The integrated 1.2V regulator and HP Auto-MDIX support reduce PCB complexity and external component count. Its compact 4x4mm 24-SQFN package is ideal for space-constrained embedded systems.
Applications
Key Specifications
Getting Started
To evaluate this part, use the LAN8720A PHY Daughter Board which plugs into various Microchip development platforms. Ensure your host microcontroller's MAC is configured for RMII mode and provide a 50MHz reference clock as required by the interface specification. Microchip provides the MPLAB Harmony framework which includes drivers for this PHY.
