MCHPLAN8720A-CP-TR
Overview
The LAN8720A-CP-TR is a high-performance, small-form-factor 10/100 Ethernet physical layer transceiver (PHY) with an RMII interface. It utilizes Microchip flexPWR technology to achieve low power consumption while supporting standard features like HP Auto-MDIX and an integrated 1.2V regulator.
Why Choose This Part
It offers a reduced pin count interface (RMII) which simplifies PCB routing and saves MCU pins compared to standard MII. The integrated 1.2V regulator allows for single-supply operation from 1.6V to 3.6V, reducing external component count and board space in dense designs.
Applications
Key Specifications
Getting Started
To evaluate this PHY, the LAN8720A Evaluation Board or the EVB8720 provide accessible headers for the RMII interface and magnetics. Ensure proper layout of the differential pairs and place the decoupling capacitors close to the VDD pins as specified in the flexPWR guidelines.
