Microchip Technology KSZ9563 EDS2 Daughter Card (EV35V13A)

Microchip Technology KSZ9563 EDS2 Daughter Card (EV35V13A) is an evaluation platform for the Microchip KSZ9563 3-Port Gigabit Ethernet Switch when used with a compatible EDS2 host board. The daughter card features a high-performance 260-pin SODIMM interface and supports RGMII, MII, and RMII connectivity for flexible Ethernet development and testing. The board integrates dual 10/100/1000Mb RJ45 connectors with magnetics and LEDs, a 25MHz crystal, a 1.2V Pulse Width Modulation (PWM) regulator, a reset supervisor, and an I2C EEPROM for board identification. An SPI management interface and compliance with the EDS2 interface specification help streamline switch evaluation, prototyping, and embedded networking designs.

Features
