  • Page 5: Introduction

    The difference between the KSZ8081RNA and KSZ8081RND is the default clocking configuration for the RMII interface. The KSZ8081RNA (by default) outputs a 50 MHz RMII Reference clock, while the KSZ8081RND (by default) takes the 50 MHz RMII Reference clock as an input.
  • Page 6: Hardware Description

    KSZ8081RNA / KSZ8081RND 10Base-T/100Base-TX Evaluation Board User’s Guide Hardware Description The KSZ8081RNA-EVAL / KSZ8081RND-EVAL (shown in Figure 1) come in a compact form factor and plugs directly into other boards with Ethernet MACs that expose the RMII interface through an MII connector. Configuration of the KSZ8081RNA / KSZ8081RND is accomplished through on-board jumper selections and/or by PHY register access via the MDC/MDIO management pins at the MII connector.

    Figure 2. KSZ8081RNA-EVAL interfacing with KSZ8463RLI Evaluation Board Two RMII clocking modes are available with the KSZ8081RNA and KSZ8081RND. The KSZ8081RNA powers up in RMII-25MHz Mode, while the KSZ8081RND powers up in RMII- 50MHz mode. After power-up, both KSZ8081RNA and KSZ8081RND can be programmed via PHY register 1Fh bit [7] to either 25MHz mode or 50MHz mode.

    R11, C16, C17, Y1 Table 1. Board Configuration for RMII Clocking Modes The KSZ8081RNA-EVAL / KSZ8081RND-EVAL have provision for an oscillator in position Y2. This oscillator is normally not used, and is therefore not populated. If desired, a 25MHz oscillator (and appropriate resistor installation) may be used in place of oscillator Y1 for 25MHz Mode.

    MII connector J4. Also note that the MIIM (MDC and MDIO) signals of the KSZ8081RNA / KSZ8081RND operate at the VDDIO supply voltage, which is configurable as 3.3 / 2.5 / 1.8 V. When MIIM is accessed through the MII connector, the user must ensure that the voltage levels are compatible between the KSZ8081RNA / KSZ8081RND and the connected MAC device.

    LED. A second voltage regulator optionally supplies reduced I/O voltage for the KSZ8081RNA / KSZ8081RND. The I/O voltage level of the KSZ8081RNA / KSZ8081RND can be set to one of three different levels. The jumper settings for these options are shown in Table 5.
