SMSC Delivers Industry's Smallest Full-Featured 10/100 Ethernet Transceivers
Expanding on the industry's broadest of Ethernet connectivity solutions for embedded applications in consumer electronics, industrial and enterprise hardware, SMSC (Nasdaq: SMSC) today introduced its third generation 10/100 Ethernet Physical Layer Transceivers (PHYs).
LAN8700 and LAN8700i with SMSC flexPWR™ Technology Provide Industry Leading Combination of Size, Power and Features for Commercial and Industrial 10/100 Ethernet Products
The LAN8700 and LAN8700i feature SMSC flexPWR™ technology, which provides a flexible power management architecture that can be configured to optimize total system power, critical for applications such as set-top boxes, digital video recorders, network printers and servers, IP and video phones, digital televisions, gaming consoles and POS terminals.
With the LAN8700 and LAN8700i, an integrated 3.3V to 1.8V regulator can be enabled for single supply operation, or disabled to save power if an external 1.8V supply is available. Additional system power can be saved by optimizing the I/O voltage to the lowest voltage possible within the configurable LVCMOS capable 1.6V to 3.6V range. The lower I/O voltage capability of the LAN8700 and LAN8700i enable the design of reduced cost and higher performance ASICs, SoCs and FPGAs through migration to lower geometry processes.
