GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The Microchip LAN8700/LAN8700i is a low-power, industrial temperature (LAN8700i), variable I/O voltage, analog interface IC with HP Auto-MDIX support for high-performance embedded Ethernet applications. The LAN8700/LAN8700i
can be configured to operate on a single 3.3V supply utilizing an integrated 3.3V to 1.8V linear regulator. An option is
available to disable the linear regulator to optimize system designs that have a 1.8V power plane available.
1.1
Architectural Overview
The LAN8700/LAN8700i consists of an encoder/decoder, scrambler/descrambler, wave-shaping transmitter, output
driver, twisted-pair receiver with adaptive equalizer and baseline wander (BLW) correction, and clock and data recovery
functions. The LAN8700/LAN8700i can be configured to support either the Media Independent Interface (MII) or the
Reduced Media Independent Interface (RMII).
The LAN8700/LAN8700i is compliant with IEEE 802.3-2005 standards (MII Pins tolerant to 3.6V) and supports both
IEEE 802.3-2005 compliant and vendor-specific register functions. It contains a full-duplex 10-BASE-T/100BASE-TX
transceiver and supports 10-Mbps (10BASE-T) operation on Category 3 and Category 5 unshielded twisted-pair cable,
and 100-Mbps (100BASE-TX) operation on Category 5 unshielded twisted-pair cable.

Crystal or External Clock
Hubs and switches with multiple integrated MACs and external PHYs can have a large pin count due to the high number
of pins needed for each MII interface. An increasing pin count causes increasing cost.
The RMII interface is intended for use on Switch based ASICs or other embedded solutions requiring minimal pincount
for ethernet connectivity. RMII requires only 6 pins for each MAC to PHY interface plus one common reference clock.
The MII requires 16 pins for each MAC to PHY interface.
The Microchip LAN8700/LAN8700i is capable of running in RMII mode. Please contact your Microchip sales representative for the latest RMII specification.
The LAN8700/LAN8700i referenced throughout this document applies to both the commercial temperature and industrial temperature components. The LAN8700i refers to only the industrial temperature component.

100Base-TX Transmit
The data path of the 100Base-TX is shown in Figure 4-1. Each major block is explained below.
4.2.1
100M TRANSMIT DATA ACROSS THE MII/RMII INTERFACE
For MII, the MAC controller drives the transmit data onto the TXD bus and asserts TX_EN to indicate valid data. The
data is latched by the PHY’s MII block on the rising edge of TX_CLK. The data is in the form of 4-bit wide 25MHz data.
The MAC controller drives the transmit data onto the TXD bus and asserts TX_EN to indicate valid data. The data is
latched by the PHY’s MII block on the rising edge of REF_CLK. The data is in the form of 2-bit wide 50MHz data.
4.2.2
4B/5B ENCODING
The transmit data passes from the MII block to the 4B/5B encoder. This block encodes the data from 4-bit nibbles to 5bit symbols (known as “code-groups”) according to Table 4-1. Each 4-bit data-nibble is mapped to 16 of the 32 possible
code-groups. The remaining 16 code-groups are either used for control information or are not valid.
The first 16 code-groups are referred to by the hexadecimal values of their corresponding data nibbles, 0 through F. The
remaining code-groups are given letter designations with slashes on either side. For example, an IDLE code-group is
/I/, a transmit error code-group is /H/, etc.
The encoding process may be bypassed by clearing bit 6 of register 31. When the encoding is bypassed the 5th transmit
data bit is equivalent to TX_ER.
Note that encoding can be bypassed only when the MAC interface is configured to operate in MII mode.

DATA
SCRAMBLING
Repeated data patterns (especially the IDLE code-group) can have power spectral densities with large narrow-band
peaks. Scrambling the data helps eliminate these peaks and spread the signal power more uniformly over the entire
channel bandwidth. This uniform spectral density is required by FCC regulations to prevent excessive EMI from being
radiated by the physical wiring.
The seed for the scrambler is generated from the PHY address, PHYAD[4:0], ensuring that in multiple-PHY applications,
such as repeaters or switches, each PHY will have its own scrambler sequence.
The scrambler also performs the Parallel In Serial Out conversion (PISO) of the data.

DS00002260A-page 15
LAN8700/LAN8700i
4.2.4
NRZI AND MLT3 ENCODING
The scrambler block passes the 5-bit wide parallel data to the NRZI converter where it becomes a serial 125MHz NRZI
data stream. The NRZI is encoded to MLT-3. MLT3 is a tri-level code where a change in the logic level represents a code
bit “1” and the logic output remaining at the same level represents a code bit “0”.
4.2.5
100M TRANSMIT DRIVER
The MLT3 data is then passed to the analog transmitter, which drives the differential MLT-3 signal, on outputs TXP and
TXN, to the twisted pair media across a 1:1 ratio isolation transformer. The 10Base-T and 100Base-TX signals pass
through the same transformer so that common “magnetics” can be used for both. The transmitter drives into the 100
impedance of the CAT-5 cable. Cable termination and impedance matching require external components.
4.2.6
100M PHASE LOCK LOOP (PLL)
The 100M PLL locks onto reference clock and generates the 125MHz clock used to drive the 125 MHz logic and the
100Base-Tx Transmitter.

100Base-TX Receive
The receive data path is shown in Figure 4-2. Detailed descriptions are given below.
4.3.1
100M RECEIVE INPUT
The MLT-3 from the cable is fed into the PHY (on inputs RXP and RXN) via a 1:1 ratio transformer. The ADC samples
the incoming differential signal at a rate of 125M samples per second. Using a 64-level quanitizer it generates 6 digital
bits to represent each sample. The DSP adjusts the gain of the ADC according to the observed signal levels such that
the full dynamic range of the ADC can be used.
DS00002260A-page 16
 2007-2016 Microchip Technology Inc.
LAN8700/LAN8700i
4.3.2
EQUALIZER, BASELINE WANDER CORRECTION AND CLOCK AND DATA RECOVERY
The 6 bits from the ADC are fed into the DSP block. The equalizer in the DSP section compensates for phase and amplitude distortion caused by the physical channel consisting of magnetics, connectors, and CAT- 5 cable. The equalizer
can restore the signal for any good-quality CAT-5 cable between 1m and 150m.
If the DC content of the signal is such that the low-frequency components fall below the low frequency pole of the isolation transformer, then the droop characteristics of the transformer will become significant and Baseline Wander (BLW)
on the received signal will result. To prevent corruption of the received data, the PHY corrects for BLW and can receive
the ANSI X3.263-1995 FDDI TP-PMD defined “killer packet” with no bit errors.
The 100M PLL generates multiple phases of the 125MHz clock. A multiplexer, controlled by the timing unit of the DSP,
selects the optimum phase for sampling the data. This is used as the received recovered clock. This clock is used to
extract the serial data from the received signal.
4.3.3
NRZI AND MLT-3 DECODING
The DSP generates the MLT-3 recovered levels that are fed to the MLT-3 converter. The MLT-3 is then converted to an
NRZI data stream.
4.3.4
DESCRAMBLING
The descrambler performs an inverse function to the scrambler in the transmitter and also performs the Serial In Parallel
Out (SIPO) conversion of the data.
During reception of IDLE (/I/) symbols. the descrambler synchronizes its descrambler key to the incoming stream. Once
synchronization is achieved, the descrambler locks on this key and is able to descramble incoming data.
Special logic in the descrambler ensures synchronization with the remote PHY by searching for IDLE symbols within a
window of 4000 bytes (40us). This window ensures that a maximum packet size of 1514 bytes, allowed by the IEEE
802.3 standard, can be received with no interference. If no IDLE-symbols are detected within this time-period, receive
operation is aborted and the descrambler re-starts the synchronization process.
The descrambler can be bypassed by setting bit 0 of register 31.
4.3.5
ALIGNMENT
The de-scrambled signal is then aligned into 5-bit code-groups by recognizing the /J/K/ Start-of-Stream Delimiter (SSD)
pair at the start of a packet. Once the code-word alignment is determined, it is stored and utilized until the next start of
frame.
4.3.6
5B/4B DECODING
The 5-bit code-groups are translated into 4-bit data nibbles according to the 4B/5B table. The translated data is presented on the RXD[3:0] signal lines. The SSD, /J/K/, is translated to “0101 0101” as the first 2 nibbles of the MAC preamble. Reception of the SSD causes the PHY to assert the RX_DV signal, indicating that valid data is available on the
RXD bus. Successive valid code-groups are translated to data nibbles. Reception of either the End of Stream Delimiter
(ESD) consisting of the /T/R/ symbols, or at least two /I/ symbols causes the PHY to de-assert carrier sense and RX_DV.
These symbols are not translated into data.
The decoding process may be bypassed by clearing bit 6 of register 31. When the decoding is bypassed the 5th receive
data bit is driven out on RX_ER/RXD4. Decoding may be bypassed only when the MAC interface is in MII mode.
4.3.7
RECEIVE DATA VALID SIGNAL
The Receive Data Valid signal (RX_DV) indicates that recovered and decoded nibbles are being presented on the
RXD[3:0] outputs synchronous to RX_CLK. RX_DV becomes active after the /J/K/ delimiter has been recognized and
RXD is aligned to nibble boundaries. It remains active until either the /T/R/ delimiter is recognized or link test indicates
failure or SIGDET becomes false.
RX_DV is asserted when the first nibble of translated /J/K/ is ready for transfer over the Media Independent Interface
(MII mode).

RECEIVER ERRORS
During a frame, unexpected code-groups are considered receive errors. Expected code groups are the DATA set (0
through F), and the /T/R/ (ESD) symbol pair. When a receive error occurs, the RX_ER signal is asserted and arbitrary
data is driven onto the RXD[3:0] lines. Should an error be detected during the time that the /J/K/ delimiter is being
decoded (bad SSD error), RX_ER is asserted true and the value ‘1110’ is driven onto the RXD[3:0] lines. Note that the
Valid Data signal is not yet asserted when the bad SSD error occurs.
4.3.9
100M RECEIVE DATA ACROSS THE MII/RMII INTERFACE
In MII mode, the 4-bit data nibbles are sent to the MII block. These data nibbles are clocked to the controller at a rate
of 25MHz. The controller samples the data on the rising edge of RX_CLK. To ensure that the setup and hold requirements are met, the nibbles are clocked out of the PHY on the falling edge of RX_CLK. RX_CLK is the 25MHz output
clock for the MII bus. It is recovered from the received data to clock the RXD bus. If there is no received signal, it is
derived from the system reference clock (CLKIN).
When tracking the received data, RX_CLK has a maximum jitter of 0.8ns (provided that the jitter of the input clock,
CLKIN, is below 100ps).
In RMII mode, the 2-bit data nibbles are sent to the RMII block. These data nibbles are clocked to the controller at a rate
of 50MHz. The controller samples the data on the rising edge of CLKIN/XTAL1 (REF_CLK). To ensure that the setup
and hold requirements are met, the nibbles are clocked out of the PHY on the falling edge of CLKIN/XTAL1 (REF_CLK).
4.4
10Base-T Transmit
Data to be transmitted comes from the MAC layer controller. The 10Base-T transmitter receives 4-bit nibbles from the
MII at a rate of 2.5MHz and converts them to a 10Mbps serial data stream. The data stream is then Manchester-encoded
and sent to the analog transmitter, which drives a signal onto the twisted pair via the external magnetics.
The 10M transmitter uses the following blocks:
•
•
•
•
MII (digital)
TX 10M (digital)
10M Transmitter (analog)
10M PLL (analog)
4.4.1
10M TRANSMIT DATA ACROSS THE MII/RMII INTERFACE
The MAC controller drives the transmit data onto the TXD BUS. For MII, when the controller has driven TX_EN high to
indicate valid data, the data is latched by the MII block on the rising edge of TX_CLK. The data is in the form of 4-bit
wide 2.5MHz data.
In order to comply with legacy 10Base-T MAC/Controllers, in Half-duplex mode the PHY loops back the transmitted
data, on the receive path. This does not confuse the MAC/Controller since the COL signal is not asserted during this
time. The PHY also supports the SQE (Heartbeat) signal. See Section 5.4.2, "Collision Detect," on page 42, for more
details.
DS00002260A-page 18

LAN8700/LAN8700i
For RMII, TXD[1:0] shall transition synchronously with respect to REF_CLK. When TX_EN is asserted, TXD[1:0] are
accepted for transmission by the LAN8700/LAN8700i. TXD[1:0] shall be “00” to indicate idle when TX_EN is deasserted.
Values of TXD[1:0] other than “00” when TX_EN is deasserted are reserved for out-of-band signalling (to be defined).
Values other than “00” on TXD[1:0] while TX_EN is deasserted shall be ignored by the LAN8700/LAN8700i.TXD[1:0]
shall provide valid data for each REF_CLK period while TX_EN is asserted.
4.4.2
MANCHESTER ENCODING
The 4-bit wide data is sent to the TX10M block. The nibbles are converted to a 10Mbps serial NRZI data stream. The
10M PLL locks onto the external clock or internal oscillator and produces a 20MHz clock. This is used to Manchester
encode the NRZ data stream. When no data is being transmitted (TX_EN is low), the TX10M block outputs Normal Link
Pulses (NLPs) to maintain communications with the remote link partner.
4.4.3
10M TRANSMIT DRIVERS
The Manchester encoded data is sent to the analog transmitter where it is shaped and filtered before being driven out
as a differential signal across the TXP and TXN outputs.
4.5
10Base-T Receive
The 10Base-T receiver gets the Manchester- encoded analog signal from the cable via the magnetics. It recovers the
receive clock from the signal and uses this clock to recover the NRZI data stream. This 10M serial data is converted to
4-bit data nibbles which are passed to the controller across the MII at a rate of 2.5MHz.
This 10M receiver uses the following blocks:
•
•
•
•
Filter and SQUELCH (analog)
10M PLL (analog)
RX 10M (digital)
MII (digital)
4.5.1
10M RECEIVE INPUT AND SQUELCH
The Manchester signal from the cable is fed into the PHY (on inputs RXP and RXN) via 1:1 ratio magnetics. It is first
filtered to reduce any out-of-band noise. It then passes through a SQUELCH circuit. The SQUELCH is a set of amplitude
and timing comparators that normally reject differential voltage levels below 300mV and detect and recognize differential
voltages above 585mV.
4.5.2
MANCHESTER DECODING
The output of the SQUELCH goes to the RX10M block where it is validated as Manchester encoded data. The polarity
of the signal is also checked. If the polarity is reversed (local RXP is connected to RXN of the remote partner and vice
versa), then this is identified and corrected. The reversed condition is indicated by the flag “XPOL“, bit 4 in register 27.
The 10M PLL is locked onto the received Manchester signal and from this, generates the received 20MHz clock. Using
this clock, the Manchester encoded data is extracted and converted to a 10MHz NRZI data stream. It is then converted
from serial to 4-bit wide parallel data.
The RX10M block also detects valid 10Base-T IDLE signals - Normal Link Pulses (NLPs) - to maintain the link.
4.5.3
10M RECEIVE DATA ACROSS THE MII/RMII INTERFACE
For MII, the 4 bit data nibbles are sent to the MII block. In MII mode, these data nibbles are valid on the rising edge of
the 2.5 MHz RX_CLK.
For RMII, the 2bit data nibbles are sent to the RMII block. In RMII mode, these data nibbles are valid on the rising edge
of the RMII REF_CLK.
4.5.4
JABBER DETECTION
Jabber is a condition in which a station transmits for a period of time longer than the maximum permissible packet length,
usually due to a fault condition, that results in holding the TX_EN input for a long period. Special logic is used to detect
the jabber state and abort the transmission to the line, within 45ms. Once TX_EN is deasserted, the logic resets the
jabber condition.
As shown in Table 5-31, bit 1.1 indicates that a jabber condition was detected.

4.6
MAC Interface
The MII/RMII block is responsible for the communication with the controller. Special sets of hand-shake signals are used
to indicate that valid received/transmitted data is present on the 4 bit receive/transmit bus.
The device must be configured in MII or RMII mode. See Section 4.6.3, "MII vs. RMII Configuration," on page 21.
4.6.1
MII
The MII includes 16 interface signals:
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
transmit data - TXD[3:0]
transmit strobe - TX_EN
transmit clock - TX_CLK
transmit error - TX_ER/TXD4
receive data - RXD[3:0]
receive strobe - RX_DV
receive clock - RX_CLK
receive error - RX_ER/RXD4
collision indication - COL
carrier sense - CRS
In MII mode, on the transmit path, the PHY drives the transmit clock, TX_CLK, to the controller. The controller synchronizes the transmit data to the rising edge of TX_CLK. The controller drives TX_EN high to indicate valid transmit data.
The controller drives TX_ER high when a transmit error is detected.
On the receive path, the PHY drives both the receive data, RXD[3:0], and the RX_CLK signal. The controller clocks in
the receive data on the rising edge of RX_CLK when the PHY drives RX_DV high. The PHY drives RX_ER high when
a receive error is detected.
4.6.2
RMII
The Microchip LAN8700/LAN8700i supports the low pin count Reduced Media Independent Interface (RMII) intended
for use between Ethernet PHYs and Switch ASICs. Under IEEE 802.3, an MII comprised of 16 pins for data and control
is defined. In devices incorporating many MACs or PHY interfaces such as switches, the number of pins can add significant cost as the port counts increase. The management interface (MDIO/MDC) is identical to MII. The RMII interface
has the following characteristics:
•
•
•
•
It is capable of supporting 10Mb/s and 100Mb/s data rates
A single clock reference is sourced from the MAC to PHY (or from an external source)
It provides independent 2 bit wide (di-bit) transmit and receive data paths
It uses LVCMOS signal levels, compatible with common digital CMOS ASIC processes
The RMII includes 6 interface signals with one of the signals being optional:
•
•
•
•
•
•
transmit data - TXD[1:0]
transmit strobe - TX_EN
receive data - RXD[1:0]
receive error - RX_ER (Optional)
carrier sense - CRS_DV
Reference Clock - CLKIN/XTAL1 (RMII references usually define this signal as REF_CLK)
4.6.2.1
Reference Clock
The Reference Clock - CLKIN, is a continuous clock that provides the timing reference for CRS_DV, RXD[1:0], TX_EN,
TXD[1:0], and RX_ER. The Reference Clock is sourced by the MAC or an external source. Switch implementations may
choose to provide REF_CLK as an input or an output depending on whether they provide a REF_CLK output or rely on
an external clock distribution device.
The “Reference Clock” frequency must be 50 MHz ± 50 ppm with a duty cycle between 40% and 60% inclusive. The
Microchip LAN8700/LAN8700i uses the “Reference Clock” as the network clock such that no buffering is required on
the transmit data path. The Microchip LAN8700/LAN8700i will recover the clock from the incoming data stream, the
receiver will account for differences between the local REF_CLK and the recovered clock through use of sufficient elas-
DS00002260A-page 20

LAN8700/LAN8700i
ticity buffering. The elasticity buffer does not affect the Inter-Packet Gap (IPG) for received IPGs of 36 bits or greater.
To tolerate the clock variations specified here for Ethernet MTUs, the elasticity buffer shall tolerate a minimum of ±10
bits.
4.6.2.2
CRS_DV - Carrier Sense/Receive Data Valid
The CRS_DV is asserted by the LAN8700/LAN8700i when the receive medium is non-idle. CRS_DV is asserted asynchronously on detection of carrier due to the criteria relevant to the operating mode. That is, in 10BASE-T mode, when
squelch is passed or in 100BASE-X mode when 2 non-contiguous zeroes in 10 bits are detected, carrier is said to be
detected.
Loss of carrier shall result in the deassertion of CRS_DV synchronous to the cycle of REF_CLK which presents the first
di-bit of a nibble onto RXD[1:0] (i.e. CRS_DV is deasserted only on nibble boundaries). If the LAN8700/LAN8700i has
additional bits to be presented on RXD[1:0] following the initial deassertion of CRS_DV, then the LAN8700/LAN8700i
shall assert CRS_DV on cycles of REF_CLK which present the second di-bit of each nibble and de-assert CRS_DV on
cycles of REF_CLK which present the first di-bit of a nibble. The result is: Starting on nibble boundaries CRS_DV toggles
at 25 MHz in 100Mb/s mode and 2.5 MHz in 10Mb/s mode when CRS ends before RX_DV (i.e. the FIFO still has bits
to transfer when the carrier event ends.) Therefore, the MAC can accurately recover RX_DV and CRS.
During a false carrier event, CRS_DV shall remain asserted for the duration of carrier activity. The data on RXD[1:0] is
considered valid once CRS_DV is asserted. However, since the assertion of CRS_DV is asynchronous relative to
REF_CLK, the data on RXD[1:0] shall be “00” until proper receive signal decoding takes place.
4.6.3
MII VS. RMII CONFIGURATION
The LAN8700/LAN8700i must be configured to support the MII or RMII bus for connectivity to the MAC. This configuration is done through the COL/RMII/CRS_DV pin. To select MII mode, float the COL/RMII/CRS_DV pin. To select RMII
mode, pull the pin high with an external resistor (see Table 4-3, “Boot Strapping Configuration Resistors,” on page 25)
to VDDIO. On the rising edge of the internal reset (nreset), the register bit 18.14 (MIIMODE) is loaded based on the
strapping of the COL/RMII/CRS_DV pin.
Most of the MII and RMII pins are multiplexed. Table 4-2, "MII/RMII Signal Mapping", shown below, describes the relationship of the related device pins to what pins are used in MII and RMII mode.

Note 4-1
In RMII mode, this pin needs to tied to VSS.
Note 4-2
The RX_ER signal is optional on the RMII bus. This signal is required by the PHY, but it is optional
for the MAC. The MAC can choose to ignore or not use this signal.
4.7
Auto-negotiation
The purpose of the Auto-negotiation function is to automatically configure the PHY to the optimum link parameters
based on the capabilities of its link partner. Auto-negotiation is a mechanism for exchanging configuration information
between two link-partners and automatically selecting the highest performance mode of operation supported by both
sides. Auto-negotiation is fully defined in clause 28 of the IEEE 802.3 specification.
Once auto-negotiation has completed, information about the resolved link can be passed back to the controller via the
Serial Management Interface (SMI). The results of the negotiation process are reflected in the Speed Indication bits in
register 31, as well as the Link Partner Ability Register (Register 5).
The auto-negotiation protocol is a purely physical layer activity and proceeds independently of the MAC controller.
The advertised capabilities of the PHY are stored in register 4 of the SMI registers. The default advertised by the PHY
is determined by user-defined on-chip signal options.
The following blocks are activated during an Auto-negotiation session:
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
Auto-negotiation (digital)
100M ADC (analog)
100M PLL (analog)
100M equalizer/BLW/clock recovery (DSP)
10M SQUELCH (analog)
10M PLL (analog)
10M Transmitter (analog)
When enabled, auto-negotiation is started by the occurrence of one of the following events:
•
•
•
•
•
Hardware reset
Software reset
Power-down reset
Link status down
Setting register 0, bit 9 high (auto-negotiation restart)
On detection of one of these events, the PHY begins auto-negotiation by transmitting bursts of Fast Link Pulses (FLP).
These are bursts of link pulses from the 10M transmitter. They are shaped as Normal Link Pulses and can pass uncorrupted down CAT-3 or CAT-5 cable. A Fast Link Pulse Burst consists of up to 33 pulses. The 17 odd-numbered pulses,
which are always present, frame the FLP burst. The 16 even-numbered pulses, which may be present or absent, contain
the data word being transmitted. Presence of a data pulse represents a “1”, while absence represents a “0”.
The data transmitted by an FLP burst is known as a “Link Code Word.” These are defined fully in IEEE 802.3 clause 28.
In summary, the PHY advertises 802.3 compliance in its selector field (the first 5 bits of the Link Code Word). It advertises its technology ability according to the bits set in register 4 of the SMI registers.
There are 4 possible matches of the technology abilities. In the order of priority these are:
•
•
•
•
100M Full Duplex (Highest priority)
100M Half Duplex
10M Full Duplex
10M Half Duplex
If the full capabilities of the PHY are advertised (100M, Full Duplex), and if the link partner is capable of 10M and 100M,
then auto-negotiation selects 100M as the highest performance mode. If the link partner is capable of Half and Full
duplex modes, then auto-negotiation selects Full Duplex as the highest performance operation.
Once a capability match has been determined, the link code words are repeated with the acknowledge bit set. Any difference in the main content of the link code words at this time will cause auto-negotiation to re-start. Auto-negotiation
will also re-start if not all of the required FLP bursts are received.
The capabilities advertised during auto-negotiation by the PHY are initially determined by the logic levels latched on the
MODE[2:0] bus after reset completes. This bus can also be used to disable auto-negotiation on power-up.

LAN8700/LAN8700i
Writing register 4 bits [8:5] allows software control of the capabilities advertised by the PHY. Writing register 4 does not
automatically re-start auto-negotiation. Register 0, bit 9 must be set before the new abilities will be advertised. Autonegotiation can also be disabled via software by clearing register 0, bit 12.
The LAN8700/LAN8700i does not support “Next Page” capability.
4.7.1
PARALLEL DETECTION
If the LAN8700/LAN8700i is connected to a device lacking the ability to auto-negotiate (i.e. no FLPs are detected), it is
able to determine the speed of the link based on either 100M MLT-3 symbols or 10M Normal Link Pulses. In this case
the link is presumed to be Half Duplex per the IEEE standard. This ability is known as “Parallel Detection.” This feature
ensures interoperability with legacy link partners. If a link is formed via parallel detection, then bit 0 in register 6 is cleared
to indicate that the Link Partner is not capable of auto-negotiation. The controller has access to this information via the
management interface. If a fault occurs during parallel detection, bit 4 of register 6 is set.
Register 5 is used to store the Link Partner Ability information, which is coded in the received FLPs. If the Link Partner
is not auto-negotiation capable, then register 5 is updated after completion of parallel detection to reflect the speed capability of the Link Partner.
4.7.2
RE-STARTING AUTO-NEGOTIATION
Auto-negotiation can be re-started at any time by setting register 0, bit 9. Auto-negotiation will also re-start if the link is
broken at any time. A broken link is caused by signal loss. This may occur because of a cable break, or because of an
interruption in the signal transmitted by the Link Partner. Auto-negotiation resumes in an attempt to determine the new
link configuration.
If the management entity re-starts Auto-negotiation by writing to bit 9 of the control register, the LAN8700/LAN8700i will
respond by stopping all transmission/receiving operations. Once the break_link_timer is done, in the Auto-negotiation
state-machine (approximately 1200ms) the auto-negotiation will re-start. The Link Partner will have also dropped the
link due to lack of a received signal, so it too will resume auto-negotiation.
4.7.3
DISABLING AUTO-NEGOTIATION
Auto-negotiation can be disabled by setting register 0, bit 12 to zero. The device will then force its speed of operation
to reflect the information in register 0, bit 13 (speed) and register 0, bit 8 (duplex). The speed and duplex bits in register
0 should be ignored when auto-negotiation is enabled.
4.7.4
HALF VS. FULL DUPLEX
Half Duplex operation relies on the CSMA/CD (Carrier Sense Multiple Access / Collision Detect) protocol to handle network traffic and collisions. In this mode, the carrier sense signal, CRS, responds to both transmit and receive activity.
In this mode, If data is received while the PHY is transmitting, a collision results.
In Full Duplex mode, the PHY is able to transmit and receive data simultaneously. In this mode, CRS responds only to
receive activity. The CSMA/CD protocol does not apply and collision detection is disabled.
4.8
HP Auto-MDIX
HP Auto-MDIX facilitates the use of CAT-3 (10 Base-T) or CAT-5 (100 Base-T) media UTP interconnect cable without
consideration of interface wiring scheme. If a user plugs in either a direct connect LAN cable, or a cross-over patch
cable, as shown in FIGURE 4-4: on page 24, the Microchip LAN8700/LAN8700i Auto-MDIX PHY is capable of configuring the TXP/TXN and RXP/RXN pins for correct transceiver operation.
The internal logic of the device detects the TX and RX pins of the connecting device. Since the RX and TX line pairs
are interchangeable, special PCB design considerations are needed to accommodate the symmetrical magnetics and
termination of an Auto-MDIX design.
The Auto-MDIX function can be disabled through an internal register.

Internal +1.8V Regulator Disable
One feature of the flexPWR technology is the ability to configure the internal 1.8V regulator off. When the regulator is
disabled, external 1.8V must be supplied to VDD_CORE. This makes it possible to reduce total system power, since an
external switching regulator with greater efficiency than the internal linear regulator may be used to provide the +1.8V
to the PHY circuitry.
4.9.1
DISABLE THE INTERNAL +1.8V REGULATOR
To disable the +1.8V internal regulator, a pullup strapping resistor (see Table 4-3, “Boot Strapping Configuration Resistors,” on page 25) is connected from RXCLK/REGOFF to VDDIO. At power-on, after both VDDIO and VDDA are within
specification, the PHY will sample the RXCLK/REGOFF pin to determine if the internal regulator should turn on. If the
pin is sampled at a voltage greater than VIH, then the internal regulator is disabled, and the system must supply +1.8V
to the VDD_CORE pin. The voltage at VDD33 must be at least 2.64V (0.8 * 3.3V) before voltage is applied to
VDD_CORE. As described in Section 4.9.2, when the RXCLK/REGOFF pin is left floating or connected to VSS, then
the internal regulator is enabled and the system does not supply +1.8V to the VDD_CORE pin.
When the +1.8V internal regulator is disabled, a 0.1uF capacitor must be added at the VDD_CORE pin and placed close
to the PHY to decouple the external power supply.
4.9.2
ENABLE THE INTERNAL +1.8V REGULATOR
The 1.8V for VDD_CORE is supplied by the on-chip regulator unless the PHY is configured for regulator off mode using
the RX_CLK/REGOFF pin as described in Section 4.9.1. By default, the internal +1.8V regulator is enabled when the
RXCLK/REGOFF pin is floating. As shown in Table 7-11, an internal pull-down resistor straps the regulator on if the
RXCLK/REGOFF pin is floating.
During VDDIO and VDDA power-on, if the RXCLK/REGOFF pin is sampled below VIL, then the internal +1.8V regulator
will turn on and operate with power from the VDD33 pin.
When using the internal linear regulator, a 4.7uF bypass capacitor with ESR < 1ohm and a 0.1uF capacitor must always
be added to VDD_CORE and placed close to the PHY to ensure stability of the internal regulator.
4.10
nINT/TX_ER/TXD4 Strapping
The nINT, TX_ER, and TXD4 functions share a common pin. There are two functional modes for this pin, the
TX_ER/TXD4 mode and nINT (interrupt) mode. The RXD3/nINTSEL pin is used to select one of these two functional
modes.
DS00002260A-page 24
 2007-2016 Microchip Technology Inc.
LAN8700/LAN8700i
The RXD3/nINTSEL pin is latched on the rising edge of the nRST. The system designer must float the nINTSEL pin to
put the nINT/TX_ER/TXD4 pin into nINT mode or pull-low to VSS with an external resistor (see Table 4-3, “Boot Strapping Configuration Resistors,” on page 25) to set the device in TX_ER/TXD4 mode. The default setting is to float the pin
high for nINT mode.
4.11
PHY Address Strapping and LED Output Polarity Selection
The PHY ADDRESS bits are latched on the rising edge of the internal reset (nRESET). The 5-bit address word[0:4] is
input on the PHYAD[0:4] pins. The default setting is all high 5'b1_1111.
The address lines are strapped as defined in the diagram below. The LED outputs will automatically change polarity
based on the presence of an external pull-down resistor. If the LED pin is pulled high (by an internal 100K pull-up resistor) to select a logical high PHY address, then the LED output will be active low. If the LED pin is pulled low (by an external pull-down resistor (see Table 4-3, “Boot Strapping Configuration Resistors,” on page 25) to select a logical low PHY
address, the LED output will then be an active high output.
To set the PHY address on the LED pins without LEDs or on the CRS pin, float the pin to set the address high or pulldown the pin with an external resistor (see Table 4-3, “Boot Strapping Configuration Resistors,” on page 25) to GND to
set the address low. See Figure 4-5, "PHY Address Strapping on LEDs":

Variable Voltage I/O
The Digital I/O pins on the LAN8700/LAN8700i are variable voltage to take advantage of low power savings from shrinking technologies. These pins can operate from a low I/O voltage of +1.8V-10% up to +3.3V+10%. Due to this low voltage
feature addition, the system designer needs to take consideration as for two aspects of their design. Boot strapping configuration and I/O voltage stability.
4.12.1
BOOT STRAPPING CONFIGURATION
Due to a lower I/O voltage, a lower strapping resistor needs to be used to ensure the strapped configuration is latched
into the PHY device at power-on reset.

4.12.2
I/O VOLTAGE STABILITY
The I/O voltage the System Designer applies on VDDIO needs to maintain its value with a tolerance of ± 10%. Varying
the voltage up or down, after the PHY has completed power-on reset can cause errors in the PHY operation.
4.13
PHY Management Control
The Management Control module includes 3 blocks:
• Serial Management Interface (SMI)
• Management Registers Set
• Interrupt
4.13.1
SERIAL MANAGEMENT INTERFACE (SMI)
The Serial Management Interface is used to control the LAN8700/LAN8700i and obtain its status. This interface supports registers 0 through 6 as required by Clause 22 of the 802.3 standard, as well as “vendor-specific” registers 16 to
31 allowed by the specification. Non-supported registers (7 to 15) will be read as hexadecimal “FFFF”.
At the system level there are 2 signals, MDIO and MDC where MDIO is bi-directional open-drain and MDC is the clock.
A special feature (enabled by register 17 bit 3) forces the PHY to disregard the PHY-Address in the SMI packet causing
the PHY to respond to any address. This feature is useful in multi-PHY applications and in production testing, where the
same register can be written in all the PHYs using a single write transaction.
The MDC signal is an aperiodic clock provided by the station management controller (SMC). The MDIO signal receives
serial data (commands) from the controller SMC, and sends serial data (status) to the SMC. The minimum time between
edges of the MDC is 160 ns. There is no maximum time between edges.
The minimum cycle time (time between two consecutive rising or two consecutive falling edges) is 400 ns. These modest timing requirements allow this interface to be easily driven by the I/O port of a microcontroller.
The data on the MDIO line is latched on the rising edge of the MDC. The frame structure and timing of the data is shown
in Figure 4-6 and Figure 4-7.
The timing relationships of the MDIO signals are further described in Section 6.1, "Serial Management Interface (SMI)
Timing," on page 48.

Interrupt Management
The Management interface supports an interrupt capability that is not a part of the IEEE 802.3 specification. It generates
an active low asynchronous interrupt signal on the nINT output whenever certain events are detected as setup by the
Interrupt Mask Register 30.
The Interrupt system on the Microchip LAN8700/8700I has two modes, a Primary Interrupt mode and an Alternative
Interrupt mode. Both systems will assert the nINT pin low when the corresponding mask bit is set, the difference is how
they de-assert the output interrupt signal nINT.
The Primary interrupt mode is the default interrupt mode after a power-up or hard reset, the Alternative interrupt mode
would need to be setup again after a power-up or hard reset.
5.3.1
PRIMARY INTERRUPT SYSTEM
bit The Primary Interrupt system is the default interrupt mode, (Bit 17.6 = ‘0’). The Primary Interrupt System is always
selected after power-up or hard reset.
DS00002260A-page 40
 2007-2016 Microchip Technology Inc.
LAN8700/LAN8700i
bit To set an interrupt, set the corresponding mask bit in the interrupt Mask register 30 (see Table 5-46). Then when the
event to assert nINT is true, the nINT output will be asserted.
When the corresponding Event to De-Assert nINT is true, then the nINT will be de-asserted.

If the mask bit is enabled and nINT has been de-asserted while ENERGYON is still high, nINT will
assert for 256 ms, approximately one second after ENERGYON goes low when the Cable is
unplugged. To prevent an unexpected assertion of nINT, the ENERGYON interrupt mask should
always be cleared as part of the ENERGYON interrupt service routine
The ENERGYON bit 17.1 is defaulted to a ‘1’ at the start of the signal acquisition process, therefore the
Interrupt source flag 29.7 will also read as a ‘1’ at power-up. If no signal is present, then both 17.1 and 29.7
will clear within a few milliseconds.
ALTERNATE INTERRUPT SYSTEM
The Alternative method is enabled by writing a ‘1’ to 17.6 (ALTINT).
To set an interrupt, set the corresponding bit of the in the Mask Register 30, (see Table 5-47).
To Clear an interrupt, either clear the corresponding bit in the Mask Register (30), this will de-assert the nINT output, or
Clear the Interrupt Source, and write a ‘1’ to the corresponding Interrupt Source Flag. Writing a ‘1’ to the Interrupt Source
Flag will cause the state machine to check the Interrupt Source to determine if the Interrupt Source Flag should clear or
stay as a ‘1’. If the Condition to De-Assert is true, then the Interrupt Source Flag is cleared, and the nINT is also deasserted. If the Condition to De-Assert is false, then the Interrupt Source Flag remains set, and the nINT remains
asserted.
For example 30.7 is set to ‘1’ to enable the ENERGYON interrupt. After a cable is plugged in, ENERGYON (17.1) goes
active and nINT will be asserted low.
To de-assert the nINT interrupt output, either.
1.
Clear the ENERGYON bit (17.1), by removing the cable, then writing a ‘1’ to register 29.7.
- Or -
2.
Clear the Mask bit 30.1 by writing a ‘0’ to 30.1.

The ENERGYON bit 17.1 is defaulted to a ‘1’ at the start of the signal acquisition process, therefore the
Interrupt source flag 29.7 will also read as a ‘1’ at power-up. If no signal is present, then both 17.1 and 29.7
will clear within a few milliseconds.
Miscellaneous Functions
CARRIER SENSE
The carrier sense is output on CRS. CRS is a signal defined by the MII specification in the IEEE 802.3u standard. The
PHY asserts CRS based only on receive activity whenever the PHY is either in repeater mode or full-duplex mode. Otherwise the PHY asserts CRS based on either transmit or receive activity.
The carrier sense logic uses the encoded, unscrambled data to determine carrier activity status. It activates carrier
sense with the detection of 2 non-contiguous zeros within any 10 bit span. Carrier sense terminates if a span of 10 consecutive ones is detected before a /J/K/ Start-of Stream Delimiter pair. If an SSD pair is detected, carrier sense is
asserted until either /T/R/ End–of-Stream Delimiter pair or a pair of IDLE symbols is detected. Carrier is negated after
the /T/ symbol or the first IDLE. If /T/ is not followed by /R/, then carrier is maintained. Carrier is treated similarly for IDLE
followed by some non-IDLE symbol.
5.4.2
COLLISION DETECT
A collision is the occurrence of simultaneous transmit and receive operations. The COL output is asserted to indicate
that a collision has been detected. COL remains active for the duration of the collision. COL is changed asynchronously
to both RX_CLK and TX_CLK. The COL output becomes inactive during full duplex mode.
COL may be tested by setting register 0, bit 7 high. This enables the collision test. COL will be asserted within 512 bit
times of TX_EN rising and will be de-asserted within 4 bit times of TX_EN falling.
In 10M mode, COL pulses for approximately 10 bit times (1us), 2us after each transmitted packet (de-assertion of
TX_EN). This is the Signal Quality Error (SQE) signal and indicates that the transmission was successful. The user can
disable this pulse by setting bit 11 in register 27.
5.4.3
ISOLATE MODE
The PHY data paths may be electrically isolated from the MII by setting register 0, bit 10 to a logic one. In isolation mode,
the PHY does not respond to the TXD, TX_EN and TX_ER inputs. The PHY still responds to management transactions.
Isolation provides a means for multiple PHYs to be connected to the same MII without contention occurring. The PHY
is not isolated on power-up (bit 0:10 = 0).

5.4.4
LINK INTEGRITY TEST
The LAN8700/LAN8700i performs the link integrity test as outlined in the IEEE 802.3u (Clause 24-15) Link Monitor state
diagram. The link status is multiplexed with the 10Mbps link status to form the reportable link status bit in Serial Management Register 1, and is driven to the LINK LED.
The DSP indicates a valid MLT-3 waveform present on the RXP and RXN signals as defined by the ANSI X3.263 TPPMD standard, to the Link Monitor state-machine, using internal signal called DATA_VALID. When DATA_VALID is
asserted the control logic moves into a Link-Ready state, and waits for an enable from the Auto Negotiation block. When
received, the Link-Up state is entered, and the Transmit and Receive logic blocks become active. Should Auto Negotiation be disabled, the link integrity logic moves immediately to the Link-Up state, when the DATA_VALID is asserted.
Note that to allow the line to stabilize, the link integrity logic will wait a minimum of 330 sec from the time DATA_VALID
is asserted until the Link-Ready state is entered. Should the DATA_VALID input be negated at any time, this logic will
immediately negate the Link signal and enter the Link-Down state.
When the 10/100 digital block is in 10Base-T mode, the link status is from the 10Base-T receiver logic.
5.4.5
POWER-DOWN MODES
There are 2 power-down modes for the Phy:
5.4.5.1
General Power-Down
This power-down is controlled by register 0, bit 11. In this mode the entire PHY, except the management interface, is
powered-down and stays in that condition as long as bit 0.11 is HIGH. When bit 0.11 is cleared, the PHY powers up and
is automatically reset.
5.4.5.2
Energy Detect Power-Down
This power-down mode is activated by setting bit 17.13 to 1. In this mode when no energy is present on the line the PHY
is powered down, except for the management interface, the SQUELCH circuit and the ENERGYON logic. The ENERGYON logic is used to detect the presence of valid energy from 100Base-TX, 10Base-T, or Auto-negotiation signals
In this mode, when the ENERGYON signal is low, the PHY is powered-down, and nothing is transmitted. When energy
is received - link pulses or packets - the ENERGYON signal goes high, and the PHY powers-up. It automatically resets
itself into the state it had prior to power-down, and asserts the nINT interrupt if the ENERGYON interrupt is enabled.
The first and possibly the second packet to activate ENERGYON may be lost.
When 17.13 is low, energy detect power-down is disabled.
5.4.6
RESET
The PHY has 3 reset sources:
Hardware reset (HWRST): connected to the nRST input. At power up, nRST must not go high until after the VDDIO
and VDD_CORE supplies are stable, as shown in Figure 5-1.
To initiate a hardware reset, nRST must be held LOW for at least 100 us to ensure that the Phy is properly reset, as
shown in Figure 6-10.
During a Hardware reset, an external clock must be supplied to the CLKIN signal.

DS00002260A-page 43
LAN8700/LAN8700i
Software (SW) reset: Activated by writing register 0, bit 15 high. This signal is self- clearing. After the register-write,
internal logic extends the reset by 256µs to allow PLL-stabilization before releasing the logic from reset.
The IEEE 802.3u standard, clause 22 (22.2.4.1.1) states that the reset process should be completed within 0.5s from
the setting of this bit.
Power-Down reset: Automatically activated when the PHY comes out of power-down mode. The internal power-down
reset is extended by 256µs after exiting the power-down mode to allow the PLLs to stabilize before the logic is released
from reset.
These 3 reset sources are combined together in the digital block to create the internal “general reset”, SYSRST, which
is an asynchronous reset and is active HIGH. This SYSRST directly drives the PCS, DSP and MII blocks. It is also input
to the Central Bias block in order to generate a short reset for the PLLs.
The SMI mechanism and registers are reset only by the Hardware and Software resets. During Power-Down, the SMI
registers are not reset. Note that some SMI register bits are not cleared by Software reset – these are marked “NASR”
in the register tables.
For the first 16us after coming out of reset, the MII will run at 2.5 MHz. After that it will switch to 25 MHz if auto-negotiation is enabled.
5.4.7
LED DESCRIPTION
The PHY provides four LED signals. These provide a convenient means to determine the mode of operation of the Phy.
All LED signals are either active high or active low.
The four LED signals can be either active-high or active-low. Polarity depends upon the Phy address latched in on reset.
The LAN8700/LAN8700i senses each Phy address bit and changes the polarity of the LED signal accordingly. If the
address bit is set as level “1”, the LED polarity will be set to an active-low. If the address bit is set as level “0”, the LED
polarity will be set to an active-high.
The ACTIVITY LED output is driven active when CRS is active (high). When CRS becomes inactive, the Activity LED
output is extended by 128ms.
The LINK LED output is driven active whenever the PHY detects a valid link. The use of the 10Mbps or 100Mbps link
test status is determined by the condition of the internally determined speed selection.
The SPEED100 LED output is driven active when the operating speed is 100Mbit/s or during Auto-negotiation. This LED
will go inactive when the operating speed is 10Mbit/s or during line isolation (register 31 bit 5).
The Full-Duplex LED output is driven active low when the link is operating in Full-Duplex mode.
5.4.8
LOOPBACK OPERATION
The LAN8700/LAN8700i may be configured for near-end loopback and far loopback.
5.4.8.1
Near-end Loopback
Near-end loopback is a mode that sends the digital transmit data back out the receive data signals for testing purposes
as indicated by the blue arrows in Figure 5-2.The near-end loopback mode is enabled by setting bit register 0 bit 14 to
logic one.
A large percentage of the digital circuitry is operational near-end loopback mode, because data is routed through the
PCS and PMA layers into the PMD sublayer before it is looped back. The COL signal will be inactive in this mode, unless
collision test (bit 0.7) is active. The transmitters are powered down, regardless of the state of TXEN.

Far Loopback
Far loopback is a special test mode for MDI (analog) loopback as indicated by the blue arrows in Figure 5-3. The far
loopback mode is enabled by setting bit register 17 bit 9 to logic one. In this mode, data that is received from the link
partner on the MDI is looped back out to the link partner. The digital interface signals on the local MAC interface are
isolated.
Note:
This special test mode is only available when operating in RMII mode.

transformer back to the receiver inputs, and this loopback will work at both 10 and 100.

CONFIGURATION SIGNALS
The PHY has 11 configuration signals whose inputs should be driven continuously, either by external logic or external
pull-up/pull-down resistors.
5.4.9.1
Physical Address Bus - PHYAD[4:0]
The PHYAD[4:0] signals are driven high or low to give each PHY a unique address. This address is latched into an internal register at end of hardware reset. In a multi-PHY application (such as a repeater), the controller is able to manage
each PHY via the unique address. Each PHY checks each management data frame for a matching address in the relevant bits. When a match is recognized, the PHY responds to that particular frame. The PHY address is also used to
seed the scrambler. In a multi-PHY application, this ensures that the scramblers are out of synchronization and disperses the electromagnetic radiation across the frequency spectrum.
5.4.9.2
Mode Bus – MODE[2:0]
The MODE[2:0] bus controls the configuration of the 10/100 digital block. When the nRST pin is deasserted, the register
bit values are loaded according to the MODE[2:0] pins. The 10/100 digital block is then configured by the register bit
values. When a soft reset occurs (bit 0.15) as described in Table 5-30, the configuration of the 10/100 digital block is
controlled by the register bit values, and the MODE[2:0] pins have no affect.

Human Body Model (HBM) Performance
HBM testing verifies the ability to withstand the ESD strikes like those that occur during handling and manufacturing,
and is done without power applied to the IC. To pass the test, the device must have no change in operation or performance due to the event. All pins on the LAN8700 provide ±8kV HBM protection.
7.1.1.2
IEN/IEC61000-4-2 Performance
The EN/IEC61000-4-2 ESD specification is an international standard that addresses system-level immunity to ESD
strikes while the end equipment is operational. In contrast, the HBM ESD tests are performed at the device level with
the device powered down.
Microchip contracts with Independent laboratories to test the LAN8700 to EN/IEC61000-4-2 in a working system.
Reports are available upon request. Please contact your Microchip representative, and request information on 3rd party
ESD test results. The reports show that systems designed with the LAN8700 can safely dissipate ±15kV air discharges
and ±8kV contact discharges per the EN/IEC61000-4-2 specification without additional board level protection.
In addition to defining the ESD tests, EN/IEC61000-4-2 also categorizes the impact to equipment operation when the
strike occurs (ESD Result Classification). The LAN8700 maintains an ESD Result Classification 1 or 2 when subjected
to an EN/IEC61000-4-2 (level 4) ESD strike.
Both air discharge and contact discharge test techniques for applying stress conditions are defined by the
EN/IEC61000-4-2 ESD document.

7.1.1.2.1
Air Discharge
To perform this test, a charged electrode is moved close to the system being tested until a spark is generated. This test
is difficult to reproduce because the discharge is influenced by such factors as humidity, the speed of approach of the
electrode, and construction of the test equipment.
7.1.1.2.2
Contact Discharge
The uncharged electrode first contacts the pin to prepare this test, and then the probe tip is energized. This yields more
repeatable results, and is the preferred test method. The independent test laboratories contracted by Microchip provide
test results for both types of discharge methods.

Note the following details of the code protection feature on Microchip devices:
•
Microchip products meet the specification contained in their particular Microchip Data Sheet.
•
Microchip believes that its family of products is one of the most secure families of its kind on the market today, when used in the
intended manner and under normal conditions.
•
There are dishonest and possibly illegal methods used to breach the code protection feature. All of these methods, to our
knowledge, require using the Microchip products in a manner outside the operating specifications contained in Microchip’s Data
Sheets. Most likely, the person doing so is engaged in theft of intellectual property.
•
Microchip is willing to work with the customer who is concerned about the integrity of their code.
•
Neither Microchip nor any other semiconductor manufacturer can guarantee the security of their code. Code protection does not
mean that we are guaranteeing the product as “unbreakable.”
Code protection is constantly evolving. We at Microchip are committed to continuously improving the code protection features of our
products. Attempts to break Microchip’s code protection feature may be a violation of the Digital Millennium Copyright Act. If such acts
