KSZ8001SA3 - 10/100 Ethernet Transceiver | Microchip | 48-SSOP
The Microchip Technology KSZ8001SA3 is a single-port 10/100 Ethernet transceiver supporting MII, RMII, and SMII interfaces, supplied in a 48-SSOP surface-mount package. Its verified operating range is 0°C to +70°C, and its digital supply accepts either 1.8 V or 3.3 V. The device is intended for embedded systems that require a physical-layer connection to an Ethernet controller or processor MAC.
An Ethernet transceiver is an interface integrated circuit that converts logical data into signals suitable for a twisted-pair network and receives those signals in the opposite direction. Within the network hierarchy, the KSZ8001SA3 is an Ethernet interface IC and a physical-layer device. It connects a digital MAC through MII, RMII, or SMII to a 10/100 Ethernet network, while a magnetics-based network interface and appropriate PCB routing complete the physical link.
The principal verified features are support for full MII, RMII, and SMII operation, compatibility with 10/100-Mbit Ethernet links, operation from a 1.8 V or 3.3 V supply, and a commercial temperature range of 0°C to +70°C. The 48-SSOP package provides a relatively high pin count for separate data, control, clock, and analog connectivity. That pin count can simplify compatibility with an established 48-pin Ethernet interface layout while still requiring careful signal-integrity and power planning.
The KSZ8001SA3 is designed to operate as the physical-layer interface between a network media access controller and the external Ethernet magnetics. MII provides separate transmit and receive data paths, RMII reduces the required interface signals, and SMII provides a serial management-oriented option. Selection among these modes depends on the host controller, clocking scheme, firmware, and PCB layout; the interface mode cannot be changed merely by substituting another package without checking the complete pin-level design.
Typical applications include industrial Ethernet control equipment, embedded routers and switches, industrial automation controllers, network-connected test instruments, and embedded systems requiring 10/100-Mbit connectivity. In these systems, the KSZ8001SA3 handles the Ethernet physical layer, while the host processor or dedicated controller handles higher-layer traffic. The device should be paired with a compatible Ethernet controller, network transformer or integrated magnetics, suitable decoupling, and a layout that separates sensitive analog and clock paths from noisy digital circuitry.
The primary design consideration is to validate the complete interface rather than relying only on the package name. Confirm the 48-SSOP footprint dimensions, exposed or non-exposed pad arrangement, pin assignments, strap options, clock requirements, and register behavior against the manufacturer documentation before layout release. Maintain short supply paths, place decoupling close to the relevant pins, and use a controlled-impedance layout for the network differential pairs.
This page consolidates the verified protocol, package, supply-voltage, and temperature information with practical application guidance and sourcing context. It also identifies the principal verification gaps: current price, detailed electrical limits, lifecycle classification, compliance declarations, and a complete manufacturer-confirmed pin map were not present in the supplied source data and are therefore not guessed.
