Microchip | KSZ8041TL-TR

Micrel Inc., is a leading manufacturer of IC solutions for the worldwide analog, Ethernet and high bandwidth markets. The Company's products include high performance analog, power, advanced mixed-signal and radio frequency semiconductors; high-speed communication, clock management, Ethernet switch and physical layer transceiver integrated circuits. These products address a wide range of rapidly growing end markets including cellular handsets, portable and enterprise computing, enterprise and home networking, wide area and metropolitan area networks and industrial equipment.

Micrel acquired Kendin Communications in June of 2001. The Ethernet product line has continued to evolve and grow with the market. Micrel's Controllers are known for robust performance, interoperability and low power.

The KSZ8041TL/FTL are single supply 10Base-T/100Base-TX Physical Layer Transceivers, which provide MII/RMII/SMII interfaces to transmit and receive data. These devices utilize a unique mixed-signal design to extend signaling distance while reducing power consumption. HP Auto MDI/MDI-X provides the most robust solution for eliminating the need to differentiate between crossover and straight-through cables. Micrel LinkMD® TDR-based cable diagnostics permit for identification of faulty copper cabling. The KSZ8041TL/FTL represents a new level of features and performance and is an ideal choice of physical layer transceiver for 10Base-T/100Base-TX/100Base-FX applications.

The KSZ8041FTL has all the identical rich features of the KSZ8041TL plus 100Base-FX support for fiber and media converter applications.

The KSZ8041TL TR is a Physical Layer Transceiver with LinkMD, which has a 3.3V Supply. It a packaged as a 48-TQFP. The KSZ8041TL TR comes in tape and reel format.
