LAN8650

The LAN8650 combines a Media Access Controller (MAC) and an Ethernet PHY to enable low‑cost microcontrollers, including those without an onboard MAC, to access 10BASE‑T1S networks. The common standard Serial Peripheral Interface (SPI) of the LAN8650 allows interfacing with nearly any microcontroller, so that the transfer of Ethernet packets and LAN8650 control/status commands are performed over a single, serial interface. SPI also requires only 4 pins, enabling a simpler hardware interface with fewer pins than MII or RMII.

Microchip's complimentary and confidential MicroCHECK design review service, which offers insight from the initial concept to the final PCB layout, is available to customers who are using our products in their projects. You can confidently submit your design materials in a secure and private setting, and our expert engineers will provide individualized feedback to enhance your design. MicroCHECK design review service is subject to Microchip's Program Terms and Conditions and requires a myMicrochip account.

The LAN8650 is designed to be used in ISO 26262 Functional Safety applications. A Functional Safety Package is available, including Safety Manual; Failure Modes, Effects, and Diagnostic Analysis (FMEDA); and Dependent Failure Analysis (DFA).
