EVB-LAN9500A-LC

EVB-LAN9500A-LC is an evaluation board that utilizes the LAN9500A to provide a fully functional, bus-powered USB to Ethernet interface. The EVB-LAN9500A-LC provides fully integrated Ethernet and USB ports via the onboard RJ45 and USB Type A connectors. The onboard 256x8 EEPROM is used to load the EVB-LAN9500A-LC's USB configuration parameters and MAC address. The LAN9500A is a high performance, small form factor solution for USB to 10/100 Ethernet port bridging. The LAN9500A contains an integrated 10/100 Ethernet PHY, USB PHY, Hi-Speed USB 2.0 device controller, 10/100 Ethernet MAC, TAP controller, EEPROM controller, and a FIFO controller with a total of 30 KB of internal packet buffering.

• Single chip, hi-speed USB 2.0 to 10/100 Ethernet controller
• 8KV HBM and 15KV air discharge ESD protection
• Requires only a single 25MHz crystal
• EEPROM less design option helps to reduce BOM costs
• Implements reduced power operating modes including enhanced energy detect power down
• Supports numerous power management features
• External MII and Turbo MII
• LAN9500A implements SMSC's proprietary NetDetach technology for lower hardware power consumption
