KSZ8721SL Overview
Operating with a 2.5V core to meet low-voltage and low-power requirements, the KS8721BL and KS8721SL are 10BASET/100BASE-TX/FX Physical Layer Transceivers that use MII and RMII interfaces to transmit and receive data. They contain 10BASE-T Physical Medium Attachment (PMA), Physical Medium Dependent (PMD), and Physical Coding Sub-layer (PCS) functions. The KS8721BL/SL also have on-chip 10BASE-T output filtering.
