EVB8720 is a PHY evaluation board that interfaces a MAC controller to the LAN8720 Ethernet PHY via a standard 40 pin MII connector (adapted for use in RMII configuration). The LAN8720 is connected to an RJ45/Integrated Magnetics Ethernet Jack for 10/100 connectivity. The LAN8720A is a low power, small form factor, highly integrated analog interface IC for high performance embedded Ethernet applications. The LAN8720A requires only a single +3.3V supply and provides an integrated +1.2V supply to run the core digital logic. The LAN8720A are the industry's smallest footprint solutions with up to 40% lower power consumption than existing SMSC transceivers. LAN8720A connects to the MAC layer via an RMII interface.
