DP83848MSQ from Texas Instruments, in a WQFN-40-EP(6x6). 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 IOVDD33 power_in I/O 3.3-V supply; the device operates at VCC 3.3 V ±0.3 V.
2 TX_CLK output MII transmit clock output at 25 MHz in 100 Mb/s mode or 2.5 MHz in 10 Mb/s mode, derived from the 25-MHz reference; unused in RMII mode.
3 TX_EN input MII transmit enable, active high, indicating valid data on TXD[3:0]; in RMII mode it indicates valid data on TXD[1:0].
4 TXD_0 input MII transmit data bit 0, synchronous to TX_CLK (2.5 MHz in 10 Mb/s or 25 MHz in 100 Mb/s); in RMII mode it is synchronous to the 50-MHz reference clock.
5 TXD_1 input MII transmit data bit 1, synchronous to TX_CLK (2.5 MHz in 10 Mb/s or 25 MHz in 100 Mb/s); in RMII mode it is synchronous to the 50-MHz reference clock.
6 TXD_2 input MII transmit data bit 2, synchronous to TX_CLK (2.5 MHz in 10 Mb/s or 25 MHz in 100 Mb/s); not used in RMII mode.
7 TXD_3 input MII transmit data bit 3, synchronous to TX_CLK (2.5 MHz in 10 Mb/s or 25 MHz in 100 Mb/s); not used in RMII mode.
8 RESERVED unconnected Reserved pin; must be left unconnected.
9 RESERVED unconnected Reserved pin; must be left unconnected.
10 RESERVED unconnected Reserved pin; must be left unconnected.
11 RD- bidirectional Differential receive input (PMD input pair) for 10BASE-T or 100BASE-TX; requires 3.3-V bias, and in Auto-MDIX mode this pair can serve as the transmit output.
12 RD+ bidirectional Differential receive input (PMD input pair) for 10BASE-T or 100BASE-TX; requires 3.3-V bias, and in Auto-MDIX mode this pair can serve as the transmit output.
13 AGND power_in Analog ground.
14 TD- bidirectional Differential transmit output (PMD output pair) for 10BASE-T or 100BASE-TX; requires 3.3-V bias, and in Auto-MDIX mode this pair can serve as the receive input.
15 TD+ bidirectional Differential transmit output (PMD output pair) for 10BASE-T or 100BASE-TX; requires 3.3-V bias, and in Auto-MDIX mode this pair can serve as the receive input.
16 PFBIN1 input Power feedback input fed only from PFBOUT (pin 19), with a 0.1-µF capacitor close to the pin; do not supply power to this pin from any other source.
17 AGND power_in Analog ground.
18 AVDD33 power_in Analog 3.3-V supply.
19 PFBOUT output Power feedback output; place parallel 10-µF (tantalum preferred) and 0.1-µF capacitors close to this pin and connect it to PFBIN1 (pin 16) and PFBIN2 (pin 30).
20 RBIAS input Bias resistor connection; a 4.87-kΩ 1% resistor must be connected from RBIAS to GND.
21 CLK_OUT output 25-MHz clock output on the DP83848H/M/T (pin 21 is CLK_OUT on this variant, not LED_SPEED); the datasheet gives no further electrical limits for this pin.
22 LED_LINK/AN0 bidirectional Link LED output (ON when link is good; in Mode 2 also blinks for transmit/receive activity); AN0 is a strap sampled at hardware reset, set with 2.2-kΩ resistors to GND or VCC and not to be tied directly.
23 RESET_N input Active-low reset with internal pullup; asserting it low for at least 1 µs forces a reset and re-latches all strap options.
24 MDIO bidirectional Management data I/O, bidirectional serial management data; requires a 1.5-kΩ pullup resistor.
25 MDC input Management data clock for the MDIO interface, maximum 25 MHz with no minimum clock rate.
26 IOVDD33 power_in I/O 3.3-V supply; the device operates at VCC 3.3 V ±0.3 V.
27 X2 output Crystal output for an external 25-MHz crystal resonator; must be left unconnected when an external CMOS oscillator drives X1.
28 X1 input Primary clock input that must be a 25-MHz ±50 ppm source (crystal across X1/X2 or CMOS oscillator on X1); in RMII mode it is the 50-MHz ±50 ppm reference.
29 DGND power_in Digital ground.
30 PFBIN2 input Power feedback input fed only from PFBOUT, with a 0.1-µF capacitor close to the pin; do not supply power to this pin from any other source.
31 RX_CLK output MII receive clock output at 25 MHz for 100 Mb/s or 2.5 MHz for 10 Mb/s; unused in RMII mode.
32 RX_DV/MII_MODE bidirectional MII receive data valid output (asserted when valid data is on RXD[3:0]); as a strap, high selects RMII mode and the internal pulldown defaults it to MII (0).
33 CRS/CRS_DV/LED_CFG bidirectional MII carrier sense output (or combined RMII carrier sense/receive data valid); as a strap it selects LED configuration mode, with default Mode 1 and a pullup.
34 RX_ER/MDIX_EN bidirectional MII receive error output (asserted synchronously to RX_CLK on invalid symbols in 100 Mb/s); as a strap, an external pulldown disables Auto-MDIX, which is enabled by default.
35 COL/PHYAD0 bidirectional MII collision detect output (always 0 in full duplex); as a strap it is PHY address bit 0, latched at hardware reset, with weak internal pullup.
36 RXD_0/PHYAD1 bidirectional MII receive data bit 0 (RMII RXD[0]), driven synchronously to RX_CLK (or X1 in RMII); as a strap it is PHY address bit 1 with weak internal pulldown.
37 RXD_1/PHYAD2 bidirectional MII receive data bit 1 (RMII RXD[1]), driven synchronously to RX_CLK (or X1 in RMII); as a strap it is PHY address bit 2 with weak internal pulldown.
38 RXD_2/PHYAD3 bidirectional MII receive data bit 2, valid when RX_DV is asserted; as a strap it is PHY address bit 3 with weak internal pulldown.
39 RXD_3/PHYAD4 bidirectional MII receive data bit 3, valid when RX_DV is asserted; as a strap it is PHY address bit 4 with weak internal pulldown.
40 IOGND power_in I/O ground.
41 EP passive Exposed pad (from the footprint; not named in the datasheet pin table).

As the datasheet states them (page.json metadata.appearance; the 3D model's colours follow it).

Part Material Colour / plating Datasheet says Page
housing abs The link pulse generator produces pulses as defined in the IEEE 802.3 10BASE-T standard. Each link pulse is nominally 100 ns in duration and transmitted every 16 ms in the absence of transmit data. 46

  • Symbol: DP83848MSQ
  • Footprint: Package_DFN_QFN:QFN-40-1EP_6x6mm_P0.5mm_EP4.6x4.6mm
  • 3D model: WQFN-40-EP(6x6), generated from the KiCad footprint (body from the F.Fab outline, terminals on the pads, 0.8 mm tall, datasheet A, max). Neither the vendor nor KiCad ships a 3D model for this package, so the dimensions come from the datasheet drawing where it was read and are defaults otherwise (see provenance.model_3d_generated), not the manufacturer's CAD (STEP)
  • 3D model files: dp83848msq-etched.step / dp83848msq-etched.glb carry the MPN laser-etched on the die in a toggleable Adom.LaserEtch group (Fusion-ready); dp83848msq.step / dp83848msq.glb are the bare package body.
