SZ18201 from Motorcomm, in a QFN-32-EP(5x5). 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 | RBIAS | passive | Bias resistor pin. An external 2.49 kΩ ±1% resistor must be connected between RBIAS and GND to set internal bias currents. |
| 2 | AVDDL_REG | power_out | Internal LDO analog power output rail. Decouple with a 1 µF and a 0.1 µF ceramic capacitor to GND. |
| 3 | TRXP0 | bidirectional | Transmit/Receive positive of differential pair channel 0. Twisted-pair MDI line with 50 Ω internal termination; voltage-driven DAC, no center-tap supply required. |
| 4 | TRXN0 | bidirectional | Transmit/Receive negative of differential pair channel 0. Twisted-pair MDI line with 50 Ω internal termination. |
| 5 | TRXP1 | bidirectional | Transmit/Receive positive of differential pair channel 1. Twisted-pair MDI line with 50 Ω internal termination. |
| 6 | TRXN1 | bidirectional | Transmit/Receive negative of differential pair channel 1. Twisted-pair MDI line with 50 Ω internal termination. |
| 7 | AVDD33 | power_in | 3.3 V analog power supply for the analog circuitry. Should be well decoupled. |
| 8 | RX_DV | output | Receive Data Valid (MII/RMII). Asserted while valid receive nibble data is present on RXD[3:0]; valid on rising edge of RXC. Internally weakly pulled low. |
| 9 | RXD[0] | output | Receive Data bit 0 of MII/RMII data bus. Internally weakly pulled low. |
| 10 | RXD[1] | output | Receive Data bit 1 of MII/RMII data bus. Internally weakly pulled low. |
| 11 | RXD[2]/INT_N | bidirectional | Receive Data bit 2 in MII mode; in RMII mode this pin is repurposed as the open-drain active-low interrupt output INT_N. Internally weakly pulled down. |
| 12 | RXD[3]/CLK_CTL | output | Receive Data bit 3 in MII mode; also latched at reset as the RMII CLK direction strap: 1 = REF_CLK input (RMII1), 0 = REF_CLK output (RMII2, default via internal weak pull-down). |
| 13 | RXC | output | Receive Clock for the MII bus. Continuous clock reference for RX_DV and RXD[3:0]: 25 MHz at 100 Mbps, 2.5 MHz at 10 Mbps. |
| 14 | DVDD33 | power_in | 3.3 V digital power supply input for digital circuitry. |
| 15 | TXC | bidirectional | MII Transmit Clock output (25 MHz at 100 Mbps, 2.5 MHz at 10 Mbps) reference for TXD[3:0] and TX_EN; in RMII mode acts as the synchronous 50 MHz reference clock (direction set by CLK_CTL strap; defaults to output when RXD[3]/CLK_CTL floats). |
| 16 | TXD[0] | input | Transmit Data bit 0 from the MAC. Internally weakly pulled down. |
| 17 | TXD[1] | input | Transmit Data bit 1 from the MAC. Internally weakly pulled down. |
| 18 | TXD[2] | input | Transmit Data bit 2 from the MAC. Internally weakly pulled down. |
| 19 | TXD[3] | input | Transmit Data bit 3 from the MAC. Internally weakly pulled down. |
| 20 | TX_EN | input | Transmit Enable (MII/RMII). Asserted by the MAC to indicate valid nibble data on TXD[3:0]. Internally weakly pulled down to prevent floating bus. |
| 21 | RESET_N | input | Active-low chip reset. High-impedance input (no internal pull); must be driven high for normal operation. |
| 22 | MDC | input | Management Data Clock, up to 2.5 MHz, provides the clock reference for MDIO. Internally weakly pulled up. |
| 23 | MDIO | bidirectional | Management Data Input/Output. Bi-directional serial data line of the MDIO management interface. Internally weakly pulled up. |
| 24 | LED0/PHYAD[0] | bidirectional | LED0 output (open-drain, active blink when 10 Mbps link is present) or PMEB Wake-on-LAN interrupt output, selected by the wol_led_sel strap on pin 10. Doubles as PHY address bit 0 sample-on-reset strap. Internally weakly pulled down. |
| 25 | LED1/PHYAD[1] | output | LED1 output (active blink when 100 Mbps link is present). Also sampled at reset as PHY address bit 1 (phy_address[1:0] selects addresses 00000-00011). Internally weakly pulled down. |
| 26 | CRS/CRS_DV | output | Carrier Sense in MII mode (asserted high when the medium is non-idle) or combined Carrier Sense/Receive Data Valid in RMII mode. Internally weakly pulled down. |
| 27 | COL | output | Collision Detect. Asserted high when a collision is detected on the medium. Internally weakly pulled down. |
| 28 | RX_ER | output | Receive Error output. Asserted synchronous to RXC when a coding error is detected in the received symbol stream. Internally weakly pulled down. |
| 29 | DVDDL_REG | power_out | Internal LDO digital power output rail. Decouple with a 1 µF and a 0.1 µF ceramic capacitor to GND. |
| 30 | NC | unconnected | No connect. Leave floating. |
| 31 | XTAL_IN | input | 25 MHz crystal input, or single-ended input for an external 25 MHz clock/oscillator. |
| 32 | XTAL_OUT | output | 25 MHz crystal output. Connect a 25 MHz crystal between XTAL_IN and XTAL_OUT with matched load capacitors to GND on each pin. Leave unconnected when driving XTAL_IN from an external oscillator. |
| 33 | EPAD | power_in | Exposed thermal pad on the back of the QFN package. Must be soldered and tied to the board ground for both electrical ground return and thermal dissipation. |
