Core Features & Advantages

The LAN8710A-EZC delivers an ultra-low-power 10/100 Ethernet PHY in a 4 x 4mm QFN-24 with RMII MAC interface, HP Auto-MDIX, and IEEE 802.3az Energy Efficient Ethernet for embedded networking applications.

  • Primary Function: Single-port 10/100 Ethernet PHY transceiver with RMII interface to MAC, integrating all analog front-end, 100BASE-TX PCS, and Auto-MDIX in a compact QFN-24 package.
  • Advantages:
    • Ultra-low 135mW at 100Mbps / <1mW power-down — lowest power consumption in its class, enabling fanless and battery-backed networking designs with IEEE 802.3az EEE support.
    • HP Auto-MDIX (auto crossover) — eliminates the need for crossover cables or manual MDI/MDIX selection, simplifying field installation and reducing support calls.
    • Internal 1.2V regulator and single 3.3V supply — no external 1.2V LDO required, reducing BOM count and solution footprint for cost-sensitive embedded Ethernet designs.

Typical Application Scenarios

  • Industry: Industrial / Consumer / IoT / Networking
  • Equipment: Embedded SBCs, IoT gateways, industrial controllers, smart home hubs
  • Use Cases:
    • RMII-connected 10/100 Ethernet port on STM32 or i.MX RT MPU-based embedded systems with minimal PCB area.
    • Industrial IoT edge gateway Ethernet interface with IEEE 802.3az EEE reducing power during idle periods.
    • Smart home hub and consumer device Ethernet connectivity with Auto-MDIX for plug-and-play installation without crossover cable concerns.
