APPLICA TION DIAGRAM:

LOWEST POWER:

Industry’s lowest power consumption 10/100/1000BASE-T PHY at 600 mW

Powered by a single 3.3 V supply by using the optional on-chip switching regulator; eliminates the need for 1.2 V supply

Advanced power management complies with Wake-on-LAN™ and PCI2.2 power requirements

WIDE RANGE OF SUPPORT:

Supports RGMII versions 1.3 and 2.0 (2.5 V, 3.3 V) MAC interface

Supports GMII/MII (2.5 V, 3.3 V) MAC interface (VSC8641)

Compliant with IEEE 802.3 (10BASE-T, 100BASE-TX, 1000BASE-T) specifications

IEEE 1149.1 JTAG boundary scan support for improved reliability

Greater than 10 kB jumbo frame support in all speeds to support custom SAN and LAN systems

Legacy Power-over-Ethernet support, including intelligence for detection and activation

FLEXIBILITY :

Low EMI line driver with integrated line side termination resistors for a better performing design

VeriPHY® cable diagnostics suite provides extensive network cable information such as cable length, termination status, and

open/short fault location

ActiPHY™ power management system with built-in intelligence and saving modes

Suite of test modes, including loopback paths, Ethernet packet generators, and CRC counters to simplify design

Programmable direct drive LEDs (three in VSC8601 and four in VSC8641), which eliminate external components and reduce EMI

APPLICA TIONS:

LAN-on-Motherboards, mobile PCs, and single-port RGMII
