LAN8710A-EZK

Product Overview

The LAN8710A-EZK from Microchip Technology is a surface-mount transceiver for MII and RMII interface applications. It provides four drivers and four receivers, enabling full-duplex operation at a 100Mbps data rate. The device operates from a 1.6V to 3.6V supply and is specified for an operating temperature range of 0°C to 85°C. It uses a 32-VFQFN exposed-pad package with a 5x5 mm 32-QFN footprint, and is part of the flexPWR series. The exposed pad and QFN package should be considered during PCB layout and assembly planning.

Applications

• Embedded controller network interfaces that require MII or RMII connectivity
• Full-duplex transceiver links in communication modules
• MII or RMII conversion in board-level communication designs

Design & Procurement Notes

When selecting the LAN8710A-EZK, confirm that the system supply remains within 1.6V to 3.6V and that the operating environment does not exceed 0°C to 85°C. The 32-VFQFN exposed-pad package and 5x5 mm 32-QFN footprint require a compatible surface-mount land pattern, adequate pad layout, and attention to the exposed pad for assembly. The 4/4 driver/receiver count, full-duplex operation, and 100Mbps data rate should match the host controller and the selected MII or RMII protocol. The flexPWR series designation may be useful when comparing related Microchip interface devices. Supply rail tolerances and board thermal conditions should be reviewed because the specified operating range is 0°C to 85°C.
