Microchip Technology LAN8679 & LAN8680 PMD Transceivers

Microchip Technology LAN8679 and LAN8680 PMD Transceivers are physical medium-dependent (PMD) transceivers with 3-pin OPEN Alliance (OA3P) interfaces that enable an all-Ethernet architecture. Microchip Technology LAN8679 and LAN8680 PMD Transceivers feature 8-pin and 16-pin configurations and support TC10/TC14 lower-power wake-sleep and topology discovery. The transceivers are designed for integration in sensor networks, automotive zonal architecture, and automotive or industrial edge nodes.
