Microchip Technology EVB-LAN8770-RMII™ Evaluation Board

Microchip Technology EVB-LAN8770-RMII™ Evaluation Board is a plug-in card that interfaces directly with a mating host processor, such as the SAMA5D3 Ethernet Development System (ESD) board. This board features the LAN8770, a highly integrated networking device that incorporates a 100BASE-T1 Physical Layer Transceiver (PHY). The Microchip Technology EVB-LAN8770-RMII evaluation board and the SAMA5D3 EDS board provide a flexible platform for the evaluation of basic PHY features via static Control Status Registers (CSR).
