KSZ8841-16MVL-TR

Controllers Overview

The KSZ8841-16MVL-TR is a single-port Fast Ethernet MAC controller with a non-PCI CPU interface, manufactured by Microchip Technology. It supports IEEE 802.3u standards for 10BASE-T and 100BASE-TX operation. The device features an 8-bit or 16-bit generic host processor interface and includes 8 KB of internal memory for RX/TX FIFO buffers. It operates on a single 3.3V power supply with 5V tolerant I/O buffers and utilizes a 25 MHz reference clock. The component is housed in a 128-pin LQFP package and is designed for commercial temperature ranges.
