MICROCHIP LAN8741A-EN-TR

The LAN8741A/LAN8741Ai is a low-power 10BASE-T/100BASE-TX physical layer (PHY) transceiver with variable I/O voltage that is compliant with the IEEE 802.3, 802.3u, and 802.3az (Energy Efficient Ethernet) standards. Energy Efficient Ethernet (EEE) support results in significant power savings during low link utilizations. The LAN8741A/LAN8741Ai supports communication with an Ethernet MAC via a standard MII (IEEE 802.3u)/RMII interface. It contains a full-duplex 10-BASE-T/100BASE-TX transceiver and supports 10 Mbps (10BASE-T) and 100 Mbps (100BASE-TX) operation. The LAN8741A/LAN8741Ai implements auto-negotiation to automatically determine the best possible speed and duplex mode of operation. HP Auto-MDIX support allows the use of direct connect or cross-over LAN cables. The LAN8741A/LAN8741Ai supports both IEEE 802.3-2005 compliant and vendor-specific register functions. However, no register access is required for operation. The initial configuration may be selected via the configuration pins as described in Section 3.7, "Configuration Straps". Register-selectable configuration options may be used to further define the function
