Ethernet PHY transceiver

25 November 2015 Telecoms, Datacoms, Wireless, IoT

Microchip announced the KSZ8061 single-chip 10BASE-T/100BASE-TX automotive- and industrial-grade Ethernet physical-layer transceiver, which is designed for data communication over low-cost unshielded twisted pair (UTP) cables. It is the first of a new family based on the patented and programmable Quiet-WIRE enhanced EMC technology, providing reduced line emissions and superior receiver immunity performance.

System reliability is enhanced with Microchip’s proven LinkMD+ advanced cable diagnostics, in addition to an embedded signal quality indicator for the dynamic monitoring of link error margins. For energy-efficient applications, integrated EtherGREEN technology includes a unique ultra-deep sleep mode with signal-detect wakeup, which lowers standby power consumption to the sub-microampere range.

With fast boot and linkup in less than 20 ms, the KSZ8061 is ideal for applications where startup time is critical, such as automotive rear-view cameras. It is available with an extended temperature range of -40°C to +105°C for harsh environments such as industrial sensor networks, robotics, building automation and avionics. This Ethernet PHY transceiver family provides support for both the MII and RMII processor interfaces, for easy integration with numerous processors, microcontrollers and systems-on-chip.

Compact packaging options for the chip include 32-pin, 5x5 mm and 48-pin, 6x6 mm QFN packages. An evaluation board is also available for functional and performance testing.
