The KSZ8851SNL-EVAL is an evaluation module for KSZ8851SNL, a single chip fast Ethernet controller consisting of a 10/100 physical layer transceiver (PHY), a MAC, and a serial peripheral interface (SPI). The KSZ8851SNL is designed to enable an Ethernet network connectivity with any host microcontroller equipped with SPI interface. The KSZ8851SNL offers the most cost effective solution for adding high throughput Ethernet link to traditional embedded systems with SPI interface. The KSZ8851SNL is a single chip, mixed analog/digital device offering wake on LAN technology for effectively addressing fast Ethernet applications. It consists of a fast Ethernet MAC controller, SPI interface and incorporates a unique dynamic memory pointer with 4byte buffer boundary and a fully utilizable 18KB for both TX (allocated 6KB) and RX (allocated 12KB) directions in host buffer interface.
● Integrated MAC and PHY Ethernet controller fully compliant with IEEE 802.3/802.3u standards
● SPI interface with clock speeds up to 40MHz for high throughput applications
● Supports 10BASE-T/100BASE-TX
● Supports RXQ and TXQ FIFO DMA for fast data read and write transfers
● Supports IP header (IPv4)/TCP/UDP/ICMP checksum generation and checking
● Powerful and flexible address filtering scheme
● Optional to use external serial EEPROM configuration for MAC address
● Single 25MHz reference clock for both PHY and MAC
● Larger internal memory with 12Kbytes for RX FIFO and 6Kbytes for TX FIFO
● Built in integrated 3.3V or 2.5V to 1.8V low noise regulator (LDO) for core and analog blocks
