LAN8720A-CP-TR 개요

The Microchip Technology LAN8720A-CP-TR is a small-footprint, low-power 10BASE-T/100BASE-TX Ethernet PHY transceiver with an RMII interface to the MAC, housed in a 24-pin QFN (4x4 mm) package. It supports full-duplex 10/100 Mbps operation, HP Auto-MDIX for direct or crossover cable use, and auto-negotiation to select the optimal speed and duplex mode. The device operates from a single 3.3V supply with Microchip's flexPWR technology and provides 1.8V/2.5V/3.3V variable-voltage I/O for direct connection to common MAC ASICs.

An Ethernet PHY (physical layer transceiver) is the analog front-end of an Ethernet link, sitting between the RJ-45 magnetics and the MAC controller. It handles line encoding/decoding, clock recovery, link training, and signal shaping so the digital MAC can exchange frames with the network. The LAN8720A belongs to the 10/100 Fast Ethernet PHY family, positioned below Gigabit PHYs in the network interface hierarchy and above purely digital MAC-only designs that require an external analog transceiver.

Key features include an integrated 1.2V LDO regulator that can be sourced externally, very low power consumption (claimed up to 40% lower than prior Microchip PHYs), a hardware-strapped configuration for default operation, and commercial temperature grade (0 C to +85 C). The device also includes Energy-Efficient Ethernet (EEE) support and a SMI (Serial Management Interface) for PHY register access. Its 24-pin QFN footprint makes it the industry's smallest 10/100 Ethernet transceiver solution in this package size.

Architecture-wise the LAN8720A integrates a 100BASE-TX DSP-based PHY core, ADC/DAC analog blocks, line driver, HP Auto-MDIX termination switches, and a digital control block with MII/RMII muxing. The flexPWR architecture allows the core to run from 1.2V while the I/O rails stay at 1.8V/2.5V/3.3V, eliminating level shifters when paired with most modern SoCs. Power-down and energy-detect modes further reduce quiescent draw for low-power designs.

Typical applications include consumer broadband gateways, IP set-top boxes, IP phones, game consoles, industrial Ethernet nodes, and MCU-based designs such as ESP32 ethernet MAC add-on boards where the LAN8720A provides the analog PHY. It is also commonly seen in printers, networked embedded controllers, and small-office routers where space and BOM cost matter more than Gigabit throughput.

When designing with this part, select the correct external reference clock (25 MHz) source and place the device close to the RJ-45 jack magnetics to minimize EMI. Verify that the MAC supports RMII (not just MII) and route the 50 MHz RMII reference clock with controlled impedance to avoid jitter. Leave sufficient ground flooding under the exposed pad for thermal dissipation.

This page synthesizes distributor stock, drop-in alternatives, design notes and comparison data that go beyond the manufacturer datasheet, helping engineers shorten the LAN8720A-CP-TR selection and validation cycle.

Where can I download the LAN8720A-CP-TR datasheet PDF?
The official Microchip datasheet titled "LAN8720A/LAN8720Ai - Small Footprint RMII 10/100 Ethernet Transceiver" is available as a PDF from Microchip's document server. The current revision is document 8720a.pdf (also archived as 00002165B.pdf). It contains electrical characteristics, register descriptions, RMII timing diagrams, and reference design schematics for the 24-QFN package.
What is the difference between LAN8720A-CP-TR and LAN8720AI-CP-TR?
The LAN8720A-CP-TR is the commercial-temperature variant rated 0 C to +85 C, while the LAN8720AI-CP-TR is the industrial-temperature variant rated -40 C to +85 C. Both share the same 24-pin QFN package, RMII/MII MAC interface, and flexPWR architecture, making them drop-in replacements when only the temperature range differs. Choose the 'i' variant for outdoor or industrial enclosures.
What is a drop-in replacement for LAN8720A-CP-TR?
The closest drop-in replacement is the LAN8720AI-CP-TR, which uses the same 24-QFN package and pinout but extends the operating temperature to -40 C to +85 C. According to Microchip's LAN8720A datasheet, all members of the LAN8720A family share the same pinout, register map and reference design, so the LAN8720A-CP (tray) and LAN8720Ai-CP (tray) are also drop-in compatible for production use.
LAN8720A-CP-TR vs KSZ8081RNACA - which is better for low-power designs?
For lowest power, the LAN8720A-CP-TR typically wins because its flexPWR architecture and 1.2V internal LDO reduce current draw versus older 3.3V-only PHYs. The KSZ8081RNACA-TR (Microchip, KSZ family) is also low-power but uses a different pinout in 24-QFN and is not pin-compatible, requiring PCB rework. If footprint flexibility allows, KSZ8081RNACA offers slightly higher ESD robustness; otherwise the LAN8720A-CP-TR is the easier low-power choice.
Can LAN8720A-CP-TR be used with ESP32 ethernet MAC?
Yes. The LAN8720A-CP-TR is one of the most commonly used external PHYs for ESP32 designs implementing the RMII Ethernet MAC. The 24-QFN footprint, 50 MHz RMII reference clock input and 3.3V supply all match typical ESP32 reference designs. Provide a 25 MHz crystal or feed an external 50 MHz RMII clock and follow ESP32 IO MUX / GPIO matrix pin mapping for ETH_PHY_POWER, MDC and MDIO signals.
What is the package and pinout of LAN8720A-CP-TR?
The LAN8720A-CP-TR is packaged in a 24-pin QFN measuring 4x4 mm with an exposed thermal pad that must be soldered to the ground plane. According to the datasheet pinout, the package exposes RMII/MII data lines, MDC/MDIO management pins, 25 MHz reference clock, link/activity LEDs, and supply rails. Pin 1 is located by the dot marker at the top-left of the package when viewed from above.
Does LAN8720A-CP-TR support Energy-Efficient Ethernet?
Yes. The LAN8720A-CP-TR supports IEEE 802.3az Energy-Efficient Ethernet (EEE), also marketed as Green Ethernet. According to the Microchip datasheet, EEE lets the PHY enter a low-power idle state between packets, lowering overall system power in bursty traffic scenarios such as IoT gateways and consumer routers. EEE must be enabled through the SMI register interface.
What are the key specifications engineers should know about LAN8720A-CP-TR?
Engineers should remember: 10/100 Mbps PHY, RMII/MII MAC interface, 24-QFN 4x4 mm package, 3.3V single supply with 1.8/2.5/3.3V variable I/O, HP Auto-MDIX, auto-negotiation, flexPWR low-power modes, EEE support, 0 C to +85 C commercial grade, and 25 MHz reference clock input. The datasheet also documents the SMI management interface (MDC/MDIO) used to read PHY ID and status registers.
Is there a Microchip equivalent for LAN8720A-CP-TR from another brand?
Yes. Cross-brand equivalents in the same 10/100 RMII PHY class include the Texas Instruments DP83848 (different package), Microchip KSZ8081RNACA (different package), and Realtek RTL8201F (different package). Note that cross-brand options typically require PCB footprint changes because most competing PHYs use a 48-pin LQFP or 32-pin QFN rather than the LAN8720A's 24-QFN. Plan board rework if swapping brands.
What is the operating temperature range of LAN8720A-CP-TR?
The LAN8720A-CP-TR operates from 0 C to +85 C, classified as the commercial-temperature grade. For designs that must survive -40 C to +85 C, Microchip offers the LAN8720AI-CP-TR (industrial grade) with the same datasheet, pinout and register map. Selecting the 'i' suffix is mandatory for outdoor or unconditioned industrial enclosures, but the commercial variant is sufficient for indoor consumer equipment.
How does LAN8720A-CP-TR compare to LAN8742A for new designs?
The LAN8742A is Microchip's newer generation 10/100 PHY offering improved EMI performance and a smaller 24-pin SQFN footprint variant, while the LAN8720A-CP-TR uses the established 24-QFN 4x4 mm package with broad design support. Both share the RMII/MII interface and SMI management. For new designs where longevity matters most, the LAN8742A may be preferred; for proven compatibility with existing schematics, the LAN8720A-CP-TR remains a solid choice.

설계 노트

Place the LAN8720A-CP-TR within 25 mm of the RJ-45 magnetics to keep the differential TX/RX traces short and matched. Use a 50-ohm differential impedance on TXP/TXM and RXP/RXM pairs, and route them over a continuous ground reference with no splits. Stitch the ground plane with vias around the trace edges every 5 mm to control return-path impedance and minimize EMI.

The LAN8720A uses flexPWR with an internal 1.2V LDO from the 3.3V analog supply. Decouple VDDA with a 10uF bulk capacitor and a 0.1uF ceramic placed within 3 mm of the pin. The internal LDO output VDDCR must have its own 0.1uF+10uF decoupling pair at the IC pin. Avoid sharing VDDCR with external loads since internal analog circuits depend on its low-noise regulation.

RMII requires a 50 MHz reference clock at REF_CLK pin with 50 ppm or better stability and jitter under 50 ps RMS. Drive REF_CLK from a clean oscillator - not from a GPIO of the MAC - to ensure IEEE 802.3 timing margins. Keep REF_CLK trace length matched (under 25 mm) and away from switching DC-DC converter nodes to avoid coupling.

Verify the MAC supports RMII before selecting this part - some SoCs expose only MII or RGMII, in which case the LAN8720A-CP-TR must be reconfigured in MII mode with a 25 MHz oscillator feeding the PHY. Do not leave MODE strap pins floating - tie them high or low through 10k resistors per datasheet Table 3 to set PHY address, RMII/MII selection and interrupt polarity deterministically.
