LAN8710AI-EZK-ABC

Product Overview

The LAN8710AI-EZK-ABC is a Microchip Technology interface transceiver intended for Ethernet physical-layer data conversion in embedded and networked systems. The device supports full-duplex operation over MII and RMII protocol interfaces and provides four drivers and four receivers. It is rated for a 100Mbps data rate and operates from a 1.6V to 3.6V supply. The 32-SQFN (5x5) package with exposed pad is surface mount, and the operating temperature range is -40°C to 85°C.

Key Features

• Full-duplex transceiver architecture with 4 drivers and 4 receivers for bidirectional data paths.
• Supports MII and RMII protocol interfaces for host-side Ethernet data exchange.
• Operates at a 100Mbps data rate.
• Supply voltage range of 1.6V to 3.6V.
• Surface-mount 32-SQFN (5x5) package with exposed pad.
• Operating temperature range from -40°C to 85°C.

Applications

• Embedded systems requiring Ethernet physical-layer data conversion through MII or RMII interfaces.
• Networked controller boards using full-duplex transceiver operation for bidirectional data paths.
• Compact surface-mount designs that need 100Mbps Ethernet data transfer within a 1.6V to 3.6V supply range.

Design & Procurement Notes

Design considerations include verifying that the host controller supports MII or RMII at the selected 100Mbps data rate and that the board layout accommodates the 32-SQFN (5x5) surface-mount package with exposed pad. The 1.6V to 3.6V supply range and -40°C to 85°C operating temperature range should be checked against the system power rails and thermal environment. Because the device is a full-duplex 4/4 transceiver, signal integrity, pin mapping, and thermal dissipation should be evaluated during schematic and PCB review.
