Beschreibung
The electronics board has two interfaces, one USB C (USB 3.1) and one Gigabit RJ45/Ethernet interface. The GB-EthernetUSB adapter was developed on the basis of the EVBLAN7800LC Evaluation Board from Microchip. The circuit is built on a 4-layer PCB and in the present design is supplied with voltage via the USB interface. The first part of this Application Note presents the technical basics necessary for understanding the reference design. The second part details the 1 GB Ethernet interface up to the physical layer (PHY in the OSI model). EMC aspects are dealt with in detail in Application Note ANP116.
