LAN8841

The LAN8841 is a low-power, single-port triple-speed (10BASE-T/100BASE-TX/1000BASE-T) Ethernet physical layer transceiver (PHY) that is optimized for precision process timing. The device enables highly accurate synchronization of motors, valves, actuators and sensors over standard CAT-5, CAT-5e and CAT-6, unshielded twisted pair (UTP) cables.

The LAN8841 provides RGMII (Reduced Gigabit Media Independent Interface) and GMII/MII (Gigabit Media Independent Interface/Media Independent Interface) for connection to Ethernet MACs in processors and switches for data transfer at 1000Mbps or 10/100Mbps.

The LAN8841 provides high-accuracy IEEE 1588-2008 (v2) timestamping to support Microchip Time-Sensitive Network (TSN) Ethernet switches, as well as, SoCs and FPGAs supporting the RGMII interface. The LAN8841 also provides Synchronous Ethernet (SyncE), TSN frame preemption support and multiple power saving features.
