• Network Interface Cards (NIC)
• LAN on Motherboard (LOM)
• Embedded Ethernet applications
• External Ethernet transceivers
• Broadband Routers/Gateways

Features

• Supports 10BASE-T and 100BASE-TX
• Compliant with IEEE 802.3 standards
• Integrated Fast Ethernet MAC interface
• Supports auto-negotiation
• Low power consumption
• MII/SNI interface
• Supports power down mode
• Built-in wave shaping filter
• Uses a 25MHz crystal

Benefits

• Simplified system design due to high integration
• Reduced BOM (Bill of Materials) cost
• Lower power consumption for energy-efficient applications
• Improved network performance with auto-negotiation
• Enhanced reliability with built-in protection features

Additional Details

The RTL8201FL-VB-CG operates at 3.3V power supply. It has various power saving modes to reduce power consumption during idle periods. The chip is available in a small form factor package, making it suitable for space-constrained applications. The MII (Media Independent Interface) allows connection to a variety of MAC controllers. The auto-negotiation function allows the device to automatically select the best possible speed and duplex mode for the network.
