Single Port Industrial Grade Fast Ethernet Copper PHY with RGMII/RMII Interfaces
Low-power,
small form-factor Cu PHY with IEEE 802.3az Energy Effi
cient
Ethernet (EEE) and Wake-on-LAN (WoL), with widest I/O LVCMOS support.
The VSC8530-04 device, offered
in a tiny 6 mm x 6 mm
single-row QFN package, is designed for space-constrained
10BASE-T/10BASE-Te/100BASE-TX applications. It features integrated line-
side termination to conserve board space, lower EMI, and improve system
performance. Additionally, integrated RGMII version 2.0 standard timing
compliant compensation eliminates the need for on-board delay lines.
The device supports the industry’s widest range of LVCMOS levels for a parallel
MAC interface including 1.5 V, 1.8 V, 2.5 V, and 3.3 V, as well as 1.2 V, 1.5 V,
1.8 V, 2.5 V, and 3.3 V support on the MDIO/MDC interface.
VSC8530-04 includes Microsemi’s EcoEthernet™ 2.0 technology with Energy
Efficient Ethernet and power saving features to reduce power based on link
state and cable reach. It optimizes power consumption at all link operating
speeds, and features Wake-on-LAN power management using magic packets.
