KSZ8851-16MLL EVAL BOARD

The KSZ8851-16MLL-Eval Evaluation Board is intended to provide a convenient and fast way to evaluate or demonstrate the functionality and performance of this new Single-Port Ethernet Controller KSZ8851-16MLL device from Micrel. The KSZ8851-16MLL comes with a 48-pin, lead-free LQFP (7mm x 7mm) package and provides an ideal solution for applications requiring high-performance from single-port Ethernet Controller with 8-bit or 16-bit generic processor interface. The KSZ8851-16MLL offers the most costeffective solution for adding high-throughput Ethernet connectivity to traditional embedded systems. This evaluation board is designed as a stand alone without microcontroller on board. By default the KSZ8851-16MLL-Eval board comes with an operation of 16-bit bus mode, Little Endian mode and disabled EEPROM for KSZ8851-16MLL device. Customer may wire the board for his desired interface. The purpose is to provide a simple tool that can be used to evaluate the KSZ8851-16MLL device by connecting via headers to customer provided Microcontroller or Non- PCI hardware platform. Provided is a basic software driver based on the 8 or 16-bit bus solution and different operating system platforms to evaluate the KSZ8851-16MLL functionality and performance. The software includes a configuration utility to allow quick and easy device setup, initialization andtransmit/receive packet. All KSZ8851-16MLL configuration pins and host interface signals are accessible either by jumpers, test points or headers.
