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.
KSZ8851SNL-Eval Evaluation Board User’s Guide 4.1 Host SPI Interface The KSZ8851SNL-Eval board receives +5V power from the header JP1 (pin 1). Figure 2 shows the Host SPI interface connection with Spirent SmartBits for system set-up and performance test. Any Microcontroller...
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.
KSZ8851SNL-Eval Evaluation Board User’s Guide 4.5 EEPROM and LED Indicators It is optional in the KSZ8851SNL to use an external EEPROM. The EED_IO (JP2) must be pulled high (Jumper: ON) to use external EEPROM. An external serial EEPROM with a standard microwire bus interface is used for non-volatile storage of information such as the host MAC address.
