DP83848JSQ from Texas Instruments, in a WQFN-40-EP(6x6). Pinout and pin descriptions extracted from the manufacturer datasheet by ds2sf; symbol, footprint, and 3D from KiCad-official CAD.

Pinout

Pin Name Type Function
1 IOVDD33 power_in I/O 3.3 V supply.
2 TX_CLK output MII Transmit Clock: 25 MHz output in 100 Mb/s or 2.5 MHz in 10 Mb/s mode, derived from the 25 MHz reference clock. Unused in RMII mode (X1 is the 50 MHz reference).
3 TX_EN input MII/RMII Transmit Enable: active-high input indicating presence of valid data on TXD[3:0] (MII) or TXD[1:0] (RMII). Internal pulldown.
4 TXD_0 input MII/RMII Transmit Data bit 0. Data synchronous to TX_CLK (MII) or the 50 MHz X1 reference (RMII).
5 TXD_1 input MII/RMII Transmit Data bit 1.
6 TXD_2 input MII Transmit Data bit 2. Unused in RMII mode.
7 TXD_3 input MII Transmit Data bit 3. Unused in RMII mode. Internal pulldown.
8 RESERVED unconnected Reserved - must be left unconnected.
9 RESERVED unconnected Reserved - must be left unconnected.
10 RESERVED unconnected Reserved - must be left unconnected.
11 RD- bidirectional Differential receive input (PMD Input Pair, negative). Auto-configures to 100BASE-TX or 10BASE-T. In Auto-MDIX mode this pair can be reassigned as the Transmit Output pair. Requires 3.3 V bias.
12 RD+ bidirectional Differential receive input (PMD Input Pair, positive). Auto-MDIX may swap this pair with TD±. Requires 3.3 V bias.
13 AGND power_in Analog ground.
14 TD- bidirectional Differential common driver transmit output (PMD Output Pair, negative). Auto-configures to 10BASE-T/100BASE-TX. In Auto-MDIX mode may serve as the Receive Input pair. Requires 3.3 V bias.
15 TD+ bidirectional Differential common driver transmit output (PMD Output Pair, positive). Auto-MDIX may swap with RD±. Requires 3.3 V bias.
16 PFBIN1 power_in Power Feedback Input. Fed from PFBOUT via a 0.1 µF decoupling capacitor. Do NOT supply power from any source other than PFBOUT.
17 AGND power_in Analog ground.
18 AVDD33 power_in Analog 3.3 V supply.
19 PFBOUT power_out Power Feedback Output. Requires parallel decoupling caps (10 µF tantalum preferred + 0.1 µF) placed close to the pin. Connects to PFBIN1 (pin 16) and PFBIN2 (pin 30).
20 RBIAS passive Bias Resistor Connection. Requires a 4.87 kΩ 1% resistor to GND.
21 LED_SPEED/AN1 bidirectional Speed LED indicator (ON at 100 Mb/s, OFF at 10 Mb/s) muxed with AN1 auto-negotiation advertisement strap. AN1/AN0 straps set the advertised operating mode; use a 2.2 kΩ pullup/pulldown to override the internal pullup default. Internal weak pullup.
22 LED_LINK/AN0 bidirectional Link LED (Mode 1) or Link/Activity LED (Mode 2) muxed with AN0 auto-negotiation advertisement strap. Selects advertised speed/duplex per the AN[1:0] strap table. Internal weak pullup.
23 RESET_N input Active-low reset input. Assert low for at least 1 µs to force a full reset; all internal registers re-initialize to defaults defined in the Register Block section, and all strap options are re-sampled. Internal pullup.
24 MDIO bidirectional Management Data I/O: bi-directional MII management data signal sourced by either the station management entity or the PHY. Requires an external 1.5 kΩ pullup resistor.
25 MDC input Management Data Clock: synchronous clock for MDIO. May be asynchronous to TX/RX clocks. 25 MHz maximum, no minimum clock rate.
26 IOVDD33 power_in I/O 3.3 V supply.
27 X2 output Crystal Output: connect to an external 25 MHz crystal resonator across X1/X2. Leave unconnected if an external CMOS oscillator source is used on X1.
28 X1 input Crystal/Oscillator Input: primary clock reference. Connect a 25 MHz ±50 ppm crystal (across X1/X2) or a CMOS-level oscillator to X1 only. In RMII mode X1 must be driven by a 50 MHz ±50 ppm CMOS oscillator.
29 DGND power_in Digital ground.
30 PFBIN2 power_in Power Feedback Input. Fed from PFBOUT via a 0.1 µF decoupling capacitor. Do NOT supply power from any source other than PFBOUT.
31 RX_CLK output MII Receive Clock: 25 MHz recovered receive clock in 100 Mb/s mode or 2.5 MHz in 10 Mb/s mode. Unused in RMII mode (X1 acts as the 50 MHz reference).
32 RX_DV/MII_MODE bidirectional MII Receive Data Valid output muxed with the MII_MODE strap. Strap default (no pullup) selects MII; strapping high (2.2 kΩ pullup) selects RMII mode. Internal pulldown, so default is MII.
33 CRS/CRS_DV/LED_CFG bidirectional MII Carrier Sense (CRS) in MII mode, or combined Carrier Sense + Receive Data Valid (CRS_DV) in RMII mode; also LED_CFG strap that selects LED mode (default Mode 1, strap for Mode 2). Internal weak pullup.
34 RX_ER/MDIX_EN bidirectional MII/RMII Receive Error output muxed with MDIX_EN strap. Default (internal pullup) enables Auto-MDIX; an external pulldown disables Auto-MDIX. Not required to be used by a MAC (the PHY corrupts data on receive errors).
35 COL/PHYAD0 bidirectional MII Collision Detect output (RMII: recovered from CRS_DV) muxed with PHYAD0 strap bit. PHY address strap value (default 1) latched into PHYCTRL at reset; PHYAD=0 puts the PHY into MII Isolate Mode. Internal pullup.
36 RXD_0/PHYAD1 bidirectional MII/RMII Receive Data bit 0 (RXD[0] valid when RX_DV asserted) muxed with PHYAD1 strap bit. Internal pulldown (PHYAD[4:1]).
37 RXD_1/PHYAD2 bidirectional MII/RMII Receive Data bit 1 muxed with PHYAD2 strap bit. Internal pulldown.
38 RXD_2/PHYAD3 bidirectional MII Receive Data bit 2 (unused in RMII mode) muxed with PHYAD3 strap bit. Internal pulldown.
39 RXD_3/PHYAD4 bidirectional MII Receive Data bit 3 (unused in RMII mode) muxed with PHYAD4 strap bit. Internal pulldown.
40 IOGND power_in I/O ground.
41 DAP power_in Die Attach Pad (exposed thermal pad) on the underside of the WQFN-40 package. Connect to ground plane for proper thermal dissipation and grounding.

File Size Use it when
dp83848jsq.step 538 KB You want the bare part, or you mark your own boards.
dp83848jsq-etched.step 3.4 MB You want the part with DP83848JSQ already on it.

The marking in the etched file is real recessed geometry cut into the solid, not a texture or a decal: 818 faces against 314 in the bare model. It survives export, section views, and rendering in any CAD tool, and it drops straight into KiCad or Fusion with no extra setup.
