LAN8742-CZ Descripción general

The Microchip Technology LAN8742-CZ is a low-power 10BASE-T/100BASE-TX Ethernet physical-layer transceiver with a 100 Mbps maximum link rate, variable I/O voltage, and a 24-pin QFN package. It supports the IEEE 802.3 and IEEE 802.3u standards and is designed to connect an Ethernet MAC through an RMII interface to copper twisted-pair Ethernet magnetics. The verified search data identifies it as an Ethernet controller interface device and a 1/1 driver-receiver configuration with full-duplex RMII support.

An Ethernet PHY is the physical-layer device that translates digital MAC data into electrical signaling for a network cable and converts received cable signals back into digital data. In the hierarchy, the LAN8742-CZ belongs to the Ethernet transceiver, network-interface, integrated-interface-IC, and broader semiconductor categories. Placing a PHY between a host controller and an RJ45 magnetics assembly allows a microcontroller, application processor, or dedicated Ethernet controller to connect to 10 Mbps or 100 Mbps copper networks without implementing the analog cable interface directly.

Verified features include 10BASE-T and 100BASE-TX operation, auto-negotiation, HP Auto-MDIX, Energy Efficient Ethernet support identified in the family description, and Wake-On-LAN functionality identified for the LAN8742 family. The variable I/O voltage allows the digital interface voltage to be selected for integration with a host, while the compact 24-QFN, 4 x 4 mm package supports space-constrained embedded designs. The verified results also describe cable diagnostics support, although detailed diagnostic limits are not supplied.

The LAN8742-CZ is normally used as the PHY beside a 10/100 Ethernet magnetic module and RJ45 connector. RMII connects the PHY to the MAC, reducing the number of parallel data and control signals compared with older MII implementations. The PHY supports 10 Mbps and 100 Mbps operation and automatically negotiates the best supported speed and duplex mode, simplifying host-side configuration. Exact timing, current, voltage-range, temperature, and package-dimension details require the manufacturer datasheet and are not inferred here.

For new production designs, verify lifecycle status and sourcing before committing to an obsolete device. The verified cross-reference data specifically identifies LAN8742A-CZ-TR as a compatible substitute with extended availability, while also describing LAN8742AI-CZ-TR as a direct pin-compatible replacement. Any substitution should be checked against the exact RMII pin mapping, voltage domains, package exposed-pad requirements, magnetic-device pinout, and system timing.

This page combines verified distributor and manufacturer information with application guidance, replacement context, and package-focused design notes. It does not invent unpublished pricing, electrical limits, pin names, or lifecycle dates; unavailable values are explicitly marked for engineering review.

Aplicaciones típicas

LAN8742-CZ es adecuado para 6 aplicacións: Embedded MCU Ethernet Connectivity, Industrial Network Gateway, IoT Sensor and Controller, Network-Enabled Test Instrument, USB-to-Ethernet Adapter, Power-Sequenced Network Appliance.

🖥️

Embedded MCU Ethernet Connectivity

The LAN8742-CZ fits an embedded design that needs a 10/100 copper-Ethernet port from a microcontroller or application processor. Its verified 10BASE-T and 100BASE-TX support, auto-negotiation, variable 1.2 V or 3.3 V I/O support, and RMII host interface allow the PHY to sit between the digital MAC and network magnetics. In a typical design, the host connects through RMII, while the PHY drives and receives the analog-side signals toward an Ethernet transformer. The principal design checks are exact RMII timing, voltage domains, reset/startup behavior, exposed-pad layout, and magnetic-device compatibility. Because the verified snippets do not provide complete timing or current limits, use the manufacturer datasheet before finalizing clocking, decoupling, and power budgets.

🏭

Industrial Network Gateway

The LAN8742-CZ can provide a compact 10/100 Ethernet interface in an industrial gateway when the required operating-temperature and reliability conditions are confirmed from the exact datasheet. Its low-power PHY architecture, auto-negotiation, HP Auto-MDIX, and cable-diagnostics features are useful for links that may use variable cable pairs or varying network conditions. The PHY is normally paired with industrial-grade Ethernet magnetics and an RJ45 connector, while the host manages configuration and application traffic through RMII. Designers should account for surge protection, grounding, isolation requirements, cable insertion, startup sequencing, and thermal rise around the 24-QFN package. The verified data does not state the LAN8742-CZ temperature range, so an industrial design must not assume qualification from the generic family description.

🧩

IoT Sensor and Controller

The LAN8742-CZ is appropriate for an IoT controller that needs wired Ethernet backup or primary connectivity while accepting its 100 Mbps maximum rate. Its auto-negotiation capability removes the need for fixed-speed configuration in many deployments, while HP Auto-MDIX can simplify physical-network installation. A practical design routes the RMII signals from the host controller to the PHY, then routes the transformer-side signals through controlled impedance and short return paths to the magnetics and RJ45 connector. Keep the cable-side network interface isolated according to the product's isolation and surge requirements. Wake-On-LAN and Energy Efficient Ethernet family functions may help reduce power consumption in suitable systems, but the supplied data does not quantify wake latency or power savings, so firmware and hardware validation should include those behaviors.

🖥️

Network-Enabled Test Instrument

For a test instrument or measurement controller, the LAN8742-CZ can supply a wired 10/100 Ethernet management connection beside a host processor. The verified RMII interface and variable I/O voltage are useful when the controller already provides a compatible MAC interface, while the compact 24-QFN, 4 x 4 mm package helps preserve board area. The analog network section still requires correctly selected magnetics, controlled routing, adequate return paths, and protection appropriate to the enclosure and cable environment. Firmware should use the supported 10 Mbps and 100 Mbps modes, verify link negotiation, and handle loss of link or cable diagnostics. Exact RMII timing, reset requirements, and electrical limits should be taken from the manufacturer datasheet rather than inferred from the distributor snippets.

🌐

USB-to-Ethernet Adapter

The LAN8742-CZ can be used in a USB-to-Ethernet adapter architecture when a USB controller or bridge provides the appropriate data path to the PHY. Its 10/100 support is sufficient for legacy Fast Ethernet infrastructure, and auto-negotiation allows the adapter to operate at either 10 Mbps or 100 Mbps depending on the link partner. The 24-QFN package supports compact adapter designs, but the board still needs magnetics, RJ45, Ethernet-side protection, and a clean separation between digital and analog routing. Verify whether the chosen USB bridge supports the exact RMII timing and voltage level required by the LAN8742-CZ. The supplied data identifies LAN8742-CZ as a 1/1 driver/receiver RMII device; it does not provide complete USB compatibility data, so USB bridge selection must be validated independently.

⚡

Power-Sequenced Network Appliance

The LAN8742-CZ can serve a network appliance whose Ethernet port must initialize predictably after the host and power rails become stable. The PHY's auto-negotiation, variable I/O voltage, and low-power operating concept can support an orderly RMII connection in a compact embedded board. A robust design should define reset timing, clock source, supply ramp sequencing, and the relationship between the MAC and PHY before enabling network traffic. The Ethernet magnetics and RJ45 connector should be placed to minimize the analog-side loop area, with ESD and surge protection placed according to the enclosure and cable requirements. Since the verified material does not state startup delays, operating temperature, or power consumption, these values must be validated from the exact manufacturer documentation and measured on the final board.

You can search the verified Octopart listing for LAN8742-CZ at https://octopart.com/lan8742-cz-microchip-25927909 and compare participating distributor availability and pricing. The verified data does not provide a current numeric price or an explicit stock quantity for the target MPN, so those values are not invented here. Because one verified result classifies the related LAN8742-CZ-TR as obsolete, confirm lifecycle status before ordering.
What is the price of LAN8742-CZ?
The verified sources identify distributor price-lookup pages but do not provide a confirmed price for LAN8742-CZ, so the current numeric price is [DATA_NEEDED: qty-1 unit price] as of 2026-10-22. Use the Octopart listing and authorized distributor RFQs for commercial confirmation. Obsolete or legacy inventory may have materially different pricing from active production parts.
What is the lead time for LAN8742-CZ?
A verified current lead time for LAN8742-CZ is not provided. The supplied results describe price, stock, obsolete status, and RFQ availability for related LAN8742-CZ-TR inventory, but they do not establish a guaranteed procurement lead time for the target MPN. Treat lead time as [DATA_NEEDED: current lead time] as of 2026-10-22 and request written confirmation from the supplier.
Is LAN8742-CZ in stock?
Stock for LAN8742-CZ cannot be confirmed from the supplied verified results. Octopart and distributor pages provide sourcing links, and one result reports stock for the related LAN8742-CZ-TR, but that does not prove availability of LAN8742-CZ itself. Check the Octopart listing or request an authorized-distributor quote for live inventory as of 2026-10-22.
What can replace LAN8742-CZ?
LAN8742A-CZ-TR is the clearest same-manufacturer replacement identified by the verified cross-reference data, which describes it as a compatible substitute with extended availability. LAN8742AI-CZ-TR is separately described as a direct pin-compatible replacement in the verified results. Before substitution, verify RMII pin mapping, I/O voltage, package exposed pad, thermal design, magnetic interface, and timing.
What is the best Microchip equivalent for LAN8742-CZ?
The verified cross-reference data identifies LAN8742A-CZ-TR as a compatible Microchip substitute with extended availability, and LAN8742AI-CZ-TR as a direct pin-compatible replacement option. Both belong to the LAN8742 family, but the supplied snippets do not expose a complete parameter table. Review the manufacturer datasheets and exact ordering suffixes before treating either part as a drop-in replacement.
Is LAN8742-CZ the same as LAN8742A-CZ-TR?
No, LAN8742-CZ and LAN8742A-CZ-TR are related orderable parts, not identical MPNs. The verified cross-reference data describes LAN8742A-CZ-TR as a compatible substitute with extended availability, while the family description assigns updated generation features to LAN8742A. Check revision-specific electrical, timing, lifecycle, and package requirements before replacing the obsolete target.
When should I choose LAN8742-CZ over LAN8742A-CZ-TR?
Choose LAN8742-CZ only when an existing qualified design specifically requires that exact obsolete MPN and no redesign is practical. For new production, the verified cross-reference data favors LAN8742A-CZ-TR because it reports extended availability. The choice should be based on exact datasheet compatibility, lifecycle risk, qualification requirements, supply assurance, and any changes in the manufacturer revision.
Is LAN8742-CZ suitable for an industrial embedded Ethernet design?
LAN8742-CZ is functionally suitable for a 10/100 copper-Ethernet design when its electrical, timing, temperature, and lifecycle requirements are acceptable. The verified data confirms a low-power PHY, variable I/O voltage, RMII, auto-negotiation, HP Auto-MDIX, and a 24-QFN package, but it does not provide the operating-temperature range or current consumption. Those missing values must be verified before industrial qualification.
Where can I find the LAN8742-CZ pinout?
The LAN8742-CZ pinout should be taken from the manufacturer datasheet rather than inferred from the distributor search snippets. The verified family document is https://ww1.microchip.com/downloads/en/DeviceDoc/DS_LAN8742_00001989A.pdf, and a verified LAN8742 document is available at https://datasheet.datasheetarchive.com/originals/dk/DKDS-5/92331.pdf. The supplied data does not provide the complete numbered pin list, so this output marks pinout details as unavailable.
What design details matter for a LAN8742-CZ PCB?
A LAN8742-CZ PCB should provide the correct 24-QFN land pattern, exposed-pad treatment, short RMII routing, stable supply decoupling, and a layout that minimizes noise between the digital PHY and Ethernet magnetics. Microchip's verified QFN placement checklist emphasizes arranging the magnetics and RJ45 routing to suit the shortest practical signal path. Exact stack-up, via, capacitor, and impedance guidance must come from the manufacturer layout and design documents.
Does LAN8742-CZ support cable diagnostics and Auto-MDIX?
Yes, the verified search results identify cable-diagnostics support and HP Auto-MDIX for the LAN8742-CZ family. HP Auto-MDIX helps simplify connection handling by allowing compatible automatic pairing, while auto-negotiation selects the supported speed and duplex mode. The supplied snippets do not specify diagnostic thresholds, cable-length limits, or startup timing, so consult the exact manufacturer datasheet for those values.
Is LAN8742-CZ RoHS and REACH compliant?
The supplied verified data does not explicitly state RoHS, REACH, lead-free, or halogen-free status for LAN8742-CZ. Those fields are therefore recorded as unknown rather than inferred from the manufacturer name or package. Obtain the current Microchip product declaration or material-compliance documentation for the exact orderable MPN before procurement or regulated production.

Guía de selección

Choose LAN8742-CZ only for an existing design that specifically requires the exact obsolete MPN, has already validated the PHY and magnetics interface, and has a controlled supply of genuine parts. For new designs, the verified cross-reference data points to LAN8742A-CZ-TR as a compatible replacement with extended availability and describes LAN8742AI-CZ-TR as a direct pin-compatible option. Treat both alternatives as conditional drop-in candidates until the exact RMII pinout, voltage domains, exposed-pad connection, startup timing, and electrical limits are checked. LAN8740AI-EN-TR and LAN8720AI-CP-TR-ABC are same-manufacturer comparison leads, but the supplied snippets do not establish complete drop-in compatibility. KSZ8001LI is included because it is a Site MPN Ethernet-interface candidate, although its detailed pin compatibility is unverified. For any substitution, prioritize exact datasheet matching and lifecycle risk over nominal package similarity.

Notas de diseño

Use the manufacturer 24-QFN land pattern and verify the exposed-pad connection before fabrication. Place the PHY close to the Ethernet magnetics and RJ45 connector, keep the cable-side routing compact, and provide a continuous ground reference. The verified Microchip QFN placement checklist specifically recommends arranging the magnetics and RJ45 routing to create the best routing scheme from the LAN8742 QFN to the connector.

Separate the RMII digital interface from the transformer-side Ethernet signals as much as the board area allows. Match the host clock and RMII timing to the exact datasheet requirements, avoid routing the interface over noisy power or switching regions, and use the specified decoupling network. Because the supplied snippets do not provide complete timing or capacitance values, do not substitute generic Ethernet capacitors or assume a compatible RMII clock without checking the manufacturer data.

Do not treat LAN8742A-CZ-TR or LAN8742AI-CZ-TR as automatically interchangeable merely because they are related family names. Confirm the exact RMII pin mapping, voltage domains, package exposed pad, reset/startup sequence, magnetic interface, and cable-diagnostics behavior. Also verify the 1/1 driver-receiver configuration and the required magnetics connection against the selected part's datasheet before releasing a replacement PCB or production substitution.
