LAN8842

The LAN8842 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 LAN8842 supports industry-standard SGMII (Serial Gigabit Media Independent Interface) providing a compact Ethernet Transceiver interface for Microprocessors, FPGA’s and Ethernet Switch chips.

The LAN8842 provides high-accuracy IEEE 1588-2008 (v2) timestamping to support Microchip Time-Sensitive Networking (TSN) Ethernet switches, as well as, SoCs and FPGAs supporting the SGMII interface. The LAN8842 also provides Synchronous Ethernet (SyncE), TSN frame preemption support and multiple power saving features.
