EVB-LAN8700 Ethernet PHY Evaluation Board
Introduction
The EVB-LAN8700 is a a PHY Evaluation Board (EVB) that interfaces a MAC controller to the SMSC LAN8700 Ethernet PHY through an MII connector, and out to an RJ-45 Ethernet Jack through industrial temperature magnetics for 10/100 connectivity.
Product Description
The EVB-LAN8700 is designed to plug into a user's test system using a 40 pin Media Independent Interface (MII) connector. The MII connector is an AMP 40 pin Right Angle through hole MII connector, PN AMP- 174218-2. The mating connector is PN AMP 174217-2.
