KSZ8692PB

Application Specific Microcontrollers Overview

The KSZ8692PB is an obsolete ARM9-based networking and communications microcontroller from Microchip Technology. It integrates a 10/100 Mbps Ethernet MAC with an ARM9 processor core, designed for embedded network applications. The device operates on a supply voltage range of 1.235V to 1.365V and supports external program memory. It features multiple interfaces including EBI/EMI, I2C, PCI, SPI, UART/USART, and USB. Packaged in a 400-BGA (24x24 mm) surface-mount format, it functions within an operating temperature range of -40°C to 85°C.

Application Specific Microcontrollers Procurement Notes

The KSZ8692PB is officially listed as Obsolete by the manufacturer. Verification of component authenticity and condition is critical due to end-of-life status. Check for relevant Product Change Notifications (PCN) regarding obsolescence or assembly origin changes. Ensure compatibility with existing board designs before procurement, as replacement components may require design modifications.

Application Specific Microcontrollers Selection Notes

Select this component only if legacy support for the ARM9 architecture and specific interface set (PCI, EBI/EMI) is required. Verify that the 1.235V-1.365V power domain matches the system design. Consider the 400-BGA footprint constraints during PCB layout. Evaluate alternative newer generation controllers if current production is planned, given the obsolete status.

Application Specific Microcontrollers Part Context

This part belongs to the KSZx692 series of networking microcontrollers. It is distinct from the KSZ8692PBI and KSZ8692XPB variants primarily through its specific suffix designation, though functional similarities exist within the family. The device serves as a dedicated solution for integrating processing power directly with Ethernet connectivity in compact form factors.

Application Specific Microcontrollers Replacement Considerations

No public confirmed substitute part numbers are available in the provided data. Due to the obsolete status, direct pin-to-pin replacements are not explicitly documented. Designers should consult Microchip for recommended migration paths to newer networking controller families.
