Migration from KSZ8864RMN_RMNU to KSZ8864CNX_RMNUB

Application Note (Migration Document)
KSZ8864RMN/RMNI//RMNU To
KSZ8864CNX/RMNUB Rev 1.2
Introduction
This application note summarizes the differences between KSZ8864RMN/RMNU and KSZ8864CNX/RMNUB
devices. The KSZ8864CNX/RMNUB devices provide a functional drop in replacement to KSZ8864RMN/RMNU
devices. Specific part numbers for the pin-compatible replacements are shown in Table 1 below. Table 2 shows
major commonality between two families. Table 3 shows the differences between the two product families.
