KSZ9031MNX
Gigabit Ethernet Transceiver
with GMII/MII Support
Data Sheet Rev. 1.0
General Description
The KSZ9031MNX is a completely integrated triple-speed
(10Base-T/100Base-TX/1000Base-T) Ethernet physical-
layer transceiver for transmission and reception of data on
standard CAT-5 unshielded twisted pair (UTP) cable.
The KSZ9031MNX offers the industry-standard GMII/MII
(Gigabit Media Independent Interface / Media Independent
Interface) for connection to GMII/MII MACs in Gigabit
Ethernet processors and switches for data transfer at
1000Mbps or 10/100Mbps.
The KSZ9031MNX reduces board cost and simplifies
board layout by using on-chip termination resistors for the
four differential pairs and by integrating an LDO controller
to drive a low-cost MOSFET to supply the 1.2V core.
The KSZ9031MNX offers diagnostic features to facilitate
system bring-up and debugging in production testing and
in product deployment. Parametric NAND tree support
enables fault detection between KSZ9031MNX I/Os and
®
the board. The LinkMD TDR-based cable diagnostic
identifies faulty copper cabling. Remote and local loopback
functions verify analog and digital data paths.
The KSZ9031MNX is available in a 64-pin, lead-free QFN
package (see “Ordering
