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.
