10.3 Ethernet PHY

The Microchip SAM9X60D1G-I/LZB embeds a single-supply 10BASE-T/100BASE-TX Ethernet physical-layer transceiver for transmission and reception of data over a standard CAT-5 Unshielded Twisted Pair (UTP) cable. The KSZ8081RNAIA is a highly-integrated PHY solution. The KSZ8081RNAIA offers the Reduced Media Independent Interface (RMII) for direct connection to RMII-compliant MACs in Ethernet processors. The KSZ8081RNAIA is available in 24-pin, lead-free QFN packages.

For more information about the Ethernet PHY KSZ8081, see Reference Documents.
