Microchip Technology EVB-LAN8870-MC (EV75E52A) Evaluation Board

Microchip Technology EVB-LAN8870-MC (EV75E52A) Evaluation Board is a 1000BASE-T1 (Single-Pair Ethernet) to 1000BASE-T (Gigabit Ethernet) media converter used in evaluating the LAN8870 1000BASE-T1 Ethernet transceiver. The 1000BASE-T side of the EV75E52A uses a LAN8830 transceiver and a conventional RJ-45 jack with integrated magnetics. The 1000BASE-T side features auto-negotiation and auto-crossover. The 1000BASE-T1 side uses a LAN8870 transceiver with all necessary external filtering and isolation components and an automotive single-pair Ethernet connector. The LAN8870 is configured in RGMII mode and connects to the LAN8830's RGMII interface. Software is provided to allow users access to the LAN8870 registers from a PC via the EVB-LAN8870-MCs USB port and an onboard PIC microcontroller. The board can be powered from the EVB-LAN8870-MCs USB port or an external 5V supply.
