Microchip | KSZ8041NLI-TR

Micrel Inc., is a leading manufacturer of IC solutions for the worldwide analog, Ethernet and high bandwidth markets. The Company's products include high performance analog, power, advanced mixed-signal and radio frequency semiconductors; high-speed communication, clock management, Ethernet switch and physical layer transceiver integrated circuits. These products address a wide range of rapidly growing end markets including cellular handsets, portable and enterprise computing, enterprise and home networking, wide area and metropolitan area networks and industrial equipment.

Micrel acquired Kendin Communications in June of 2001. The Ethernet product line has continued to evolve and grow with the market. Micrel's Controllers are known for robust performance, interoperability and low power.

Operating the core at 1.8 volts to meet low voltage and low - power requirements, the KSZ8041NL is a 10BASET/100BASE-TX Physical Layer Transceiver with MII / RMII interfaces to transmit and receive data. A unique mixed signal design extends signaling distance while reducing power consumption.

HP Auto MDI/MDI-X provides the most robust solution for eliminating the need to differentiate between crossover and straight-through cables. The KSZ8041NL represents a new level of features and performance and is an ideal choice of physical layer transceiver for 100BASE-TX/10BASE-T applications.
