Rev. 1.1 KSZ8851SNL-Eval Evaluation Board User’s Guide Introduction The KSZ8851SNL-Eval Evaluation Board is intended to provide a convenient and fast way to evaluate or demonstrate the functionality and performance of this new Single-Port Ethernet Controller KSZ8851SNL device from Micrel. The KSZ8851SNL comes with a 32-pin, lead-free QFN (5mm x 5mm) package and provides an ideal solution for applications requiring Serial Peripheral Interface (SPI) between single-port Ethernet Controller and Host microcontroller.
KSZ8851SNL-Eval Evaluation Board User’s Guide Hardware Description The KSZ8851SNL-Eval (shown in Figure 1) comes in a compact form factor and plugs directly into industry standard test equipment such as Spirent SmartBits, the other side of board is wired to external host SPI interface through headers. Configuration of the KSZ8851SNL is accomplished through on-board jumper selections and/or by register access via the host SPI Interface.
SPI interface connection for KSZ8851SNL. Figure 2. SPI Interface to KSZ8851SNL The KSZ8851SNL-Eval board receives +5V power from the header JP1 (pin 1). Figure 3 shows the Host SPI interface connection with Spirent SmartBits for system set-up and performance test.
Table 2. Header JP1 – Host Connection for Control and Power 4.2 Jumper Setting & Definition The KSZ8851SNL-Eval does not require any jumper for normal operation except the VDD_IO option. During power-up, the KSZ8851SNL is configured using the chip’s internal pull-up and pull- down resistors with its default strapping pin value which will set this device in operation of without EEPROM.
The KSZ8851SNL-Eval is supplied from external +5.0V DC power through a Header (pin 1 at JP1), this +5.0V DC input is converted to both +3.3V with a Micrel LDO voltage regulator (U3, MIC5209BM) for 3.3VA analog power and VDD (option for 3.3V, 2.5V or 1.8V) with a Micrel LDO voltage regulator (U4, MIC5209BM) for VDD_IO digital power.
Table 7. KSZ8851SNL-Eval LED Definition 4.6 Board Reset The KSZ8851SNL-Eval generates a reset signal from the reset circuitry during power up. It also provides a push button S1 reset circuit to reset the KSZ8851SNL device. During power up, the board is automatically reset. User can also press reset button S1 on the board for a manual reset.
