MICROCHIP KSZ8841-PMQLI-TR

The KSZ8841-PMQL is a single-port Fast Ethernet MAC chip with a 32-bit/33MHz PCI processor interface. Designed to be fully compliant with the IEEE 802.3u standard, the KSZ8841-PMQL is also available in an industrial temperature grade version of the KSZ8841-PMQL, the KSZ8841-PMQLI. Physical signal transmission and reception are enhanced through the use of analog circuitry, making the design more efficient and allowing for lower power consumption. The KSZ8841-PMQL is designed using a low-power CMOS process that features a single 3.3V power supply with 5V tolerant I/O. The KSZ8841-PMQL is a mixed signal analog/digital device offering Wake-on-LAN technology. Its extensive feature set includes management information base (MIB) counters and CPU control/data interfaces. The KSZ8841-PMQL includes a unique cable diagnostics feature called LinkMD. This feature calculates the length of the cabling plant and determines if there is an open/short condition in the cable. Accompanying software allows the cable length and cable conditions to be conveniently displayed. In addition, the KSZ8841-PMQL supports Hewlett Packard (HP) Auto-MDIX thereby eliminating the need to differentiate between straight or crossover cables in applications.
