+—
1. Which Ethernet standards does KSZ8081RNACA-TR support? >
Supports IEEE 802.3 (10BASE-T) and IEEE 802.3u (100BASE-TX) with auto-negotiation for operation mode.
+—
2. How to configure the PHY's operation mode? >
Access internal registers via the MDIO interface (with MDC pin) to set parameters such as speed and duplex mode.
+—
3. Is an external transformer required? >
No external transformer is needed due to built-in coupling; however, a common-mode choke is recommended to improve EMI performance.
+—
4. Can the network connection be maintained in sleep mode? >
Sleep mode disconnects the network to reduce power; use low-power modes (e.g., EEE) to maintain connection.
