LAN7500-ABZJ USB 2.0 to Gigabit Ethernet | Microchip
Microchip LAN7500-ABZJ is a Hi-Speed USB 2.0 to 10/100/1000 Gigabit Ethernet controller integrating an Ethernet MAC, Gigabit Ethernet PHY, USB PHY, Hi-Speed USB 2.0 device controller, filtering engine, TAP controller, EEPROM controller, and FIFO controller. The device provides 32 KB of internal packet buffering in a 56-pin QFN package with an exposed pad, available in a tray configuration.
A USB-to-Ethernet controller is an interface IC that bridges a USB host connection and an Ethernet network. Within the connectivity hierarchy, the LAN7500 combines multiple protocol functions that otherwise require separate MAC, PHY, USB interface, filtering, and packet-buffer components. This integration reduces board-level complexity while providing support for 10, 100, and 1000 Mb/s Ethernet operation through a single USB 2.0 interface.
The LAN7500's principal features include a 10/100/1000 Ethernet MAC and PHY, a dedicated USB PHY, a Hi-Speed USB 2.0 device controller, and 32 KB of internal packet buffering. Its integrated filtering engine supports Ethernet traffic filtering, while the TAP and EEPROM controllers support the network-device functions normally required by a USB-connected Ethernet adapter. These functions make the controller suitable for compact adapters, embedded network ports, and portable connectivity products.
The device combines a USB 2.0 device interface with a Gigabit Ethernet network interface while avoiding a separate external Gigabit Ethernet PHY in the target design. Its internal FIFO controller is specified with 32 KB of packet buffering, providing a defined data path between the USB and Ethernet sides. The 56-QFN package measures 8 mm by 8 mm according to the product listing, with an exposed thermal and electrical pad that must follow the manufacturer's land-pattern requirements.
The Microchip LAN7500/LAN7500i data sheet identifies embedded systems, set-top boxes, personal video recorders, USB port replicators, USB-to-Ethernet dongles, and test instrumentation as representative applications. These uses align with the controller's combination of USB connectivity, Gigabit Ethernet support, packet buffering, and Ethernet filtering. A design can therefore add a network interface to a USB-capable embedded platform without implementing a discrete Ethernet controller and PHY around it.
PCB implementation should follow the pin-description table, recommended land pattern, and reference schematic in the Microchip data sheet. The exposed pad requires the prescribed thermal-via and copper implementation, while input, output, crystal, and Ethernet differential-pair connections require careful routing. Validation should include USB enumeration, Ethernet link establishment at each supported rate, packet-loopback testing, and thermal assessment at the maximum intended operating condition.
This page combines the core LAN7500-ABZJ specifications, application guidance, package information, sourcing questions, and replacement considerations into one engineering-focused reference. It also distinguishes verified functions and package details from parameters that require confirmation from the complete electrical table before a design is released for production.
