LAN8710A-EZC from Microchip Tech, in a QFN-32-EP(5x5). Pinout and pin descriptions extracted from the manufacturer datasheet (extract_pins, cross-checked by a second model); symbol, footprint, and 3D from KiCad-official CAD.

Pinout

Pin Name Type Function
1 VDD2A power_in +3.3V analog port power to Channel 2 and the internal 1.2V regulator.
2 LED2/nINTSEL bidirectional Link speed LED output (O12, active when operating at 100Mbps) that doubles as the nINTSEL strap selecting nINT (floated or pulled to VDD2A) or TXER/TXD4 (pulled low) on pin 18.
3 LED1/REGOFF bidirectional Link activity LED output (O12) that doubles as the REGOFF strap; pulling it high to VDD2A disables the internal 1.2V regulator, floating or low enables it.
4 XTAL2 output External crystal output; leave unconnected when using a single-ended clock oscillator.
5 XTAL1/CLKIN input External crystal input or single-ended clock oscillator input (REF_CLK in RMII mode).
6 VDDCR power_in +1.2V digital core power, supplied by the on-chip regulator unless REGOFF disables it; use 1uF and 470pF decoupling capacitors in parallel to ground.
7 RXCLK/PHYAD1 bidirectional MII receive clock output (25MHz at 100BASE-TX, 2.5MHz at 10BASE-T) that doubles as the PHY address bit 1 configuration strap (internal pull-down).
8 RXD3/PHYAD2 bidirectional MII receive data bit 3 output that doubles as the PHY address bit 2 configuration strap (internal pull-down); not used in RMII mode.
9 RXD2/RMIISEL bidirectional MII receive data bit 2 output that doubles as the MII/RMII select strap (low to VSS selects MII, high to VDDIO selects RMII; internal pull-down).
10 RXD1/MODE1 bidirectional Receive data bit 1 output that doubles as the PHY operating mode bit 1 configuration strap (internal pull-up).
11 RXD0/MODE0 bidirectional Receive data bit 0 output that doubles as the PHY operating mode bit 0 configuration strap (internal pull-up).
12 VDDIO power_in +1.6V to +3.6V variable I/O power.
13 RXER/RXD4/PHYAD0 bidirectional Receive error output (optional in RMII mode), RXD4 in Symbol Interface mode, and PHY address bit 0 configuration strap (internal pull-down).
14 CRS output MII carrier sense output indicating detection of a carrier (internal pull-down).
15 COL/CRS_DV/MODE2 bidirectional Collision detect output in MII mode or carrier sense/receive data valid output in RMII mode, doubling as the PHY operating mode bit 2 configuration strap (internal pull-up).
16 MDIO bidirectional Serial Management Interface data input/output (open-drain output).
17 MDC input Serial Management Interface clock input.
18 nINT/TXER/TXD4 bidirectional Active-low interrupt output (external pull-up to VDDIO) or MII transmit error/TXD4 input depending on the nINTSEL strap.
19 nRST input Active-low system reset input with internal pull-up.
20 TXCLK output MII transmit clock output (25MHz at 100BASE-TX, 2.5MHz at 10BASE-T); not used in RMII mode.
21 TXEN input Transmit enable indicating valid transmit data on TXD[3:0] (only TXD[1:0] in RMII mode), internal pull-down.
22 TXD0 input Transmit data bit 0 from the MAC, used in all modes.
23 TXD1 input Transmit data bit 1 from the MAC, used in all modes.
24 TXD2 input Transmit data bit 2 from the MAC in MII mode; must be grounded in RMII mode.
25 TXD3 input Transmit data bit 3 from the MAC in MII mode; must be grounded in RMII mode.
26 RXDV output Receive data valid output indicating recovered and decoded data is available on the RXD pins.
27 VDD1A power_in +3.3V analog port power to Channel 1.
28 TXN bidirectional Ethernet transmit/receive negative channel 1 analog pin.
29 TXP bidirectional Ethernet transmit/receive positive channel 1 analog pin.
30 RXN bidirectional Ethernet transmit/receive negative channel 2 analog pin.
31 RXP bidirectional Ethernet transmit/receive positive channel 2 analog pin.
32 RBIAS passive Analog reference input requiring a 12.1k ohm (1%) resistor to ground; nominal voltage 1.2V.
33 VSS power_in Common ground exposed pad, which must be connected to the ground plane with a via array.
