Power Requirements
The LAN83C185 requires a +3.3V power source, which may be obtained from any existing on-board +3.3V
source, or, if none is available, by incorporating an external regulator such as the Linear Technologies
LT1086 +5V-input to +3.3V-output fixed-voltage regulator - into the LAN83C185 design.
The +3.3V regulator output is supplied to the LAN83C185 core via the pins listed in Table 3.1 below:

It is recommended that all VDD, AVDD, and VREG signals on the LAN83C185 be supplied +3.3V from the
board’s power plane via three ferrite beads (one per signal group – see Figure 3.1 below).

Cable Interface
The requirements for the cable interface, including the magnetics and RJ45 connector interfaces, are
outlined in the sections below.
4.1
Magnetics
The LAN83C185 Phy Customer Reference Design uses the Bel S558-5999-46 magnetics module, which
replaces the magnetics module originally specified in the LAN83C180 Customer Reference design. Please
refer to SMSC Application Note 8.13 - "Suggested Magnetics" for a listing of currently approved magnetics,
and to the LAN83C185 MII Customer Reference Board (Assy. 6316) schematic for details.
4.2
Connector (RJ45) Interface
All connections between the RJ45 connector and magnetics module for the LAN83C185 remain identical to
LAN83C180.
4.3
Transmit & Receive Terminations
4.3.1
Transmit Terminations
The LAN83C185 transmit signals (TXP, TXN) should be pulled to +3.3V supplied from the board’s power
plane via a ferrite bead and termination resistors RTerm (see Figure 4.1 below). Power is supplied to the
transmitter via the 10-Ohm resistor and the transformer center tap.

4.3.2
Receive Terminations
Each of the LAN83C185 receive signals (RXP, RXN) should be AC-coupled to the magnetics module’s
receive interface via a capacitor. Additionally, RXP and RXN signals should be terminated through a resistor
via a capacitor connected to ground (see Figure 4.2 below). Please refer to the LAN83C185 Customer
Reference Board schematic for recommended values.

Clock Circuit
The LAN83C185 can accept either a 25MHz crystal or 25 MHz clock oscillator input. The LAN83C185
shares the 25MHz clock oscillator input (CLKIN) with the crystal input (XTAL1) on pin 23. This differs from
the LAN83C180, which uses a dedicated clock oscillator pin (REFCLK).
It is recommended that a crystal utilizing matching parallel load capacitors be used for the LAN83C185
crystal input/output signals (XTAL1, XTAL2). Please refer to the crystal device datasheet for recommended
capacitor values.
Additionally, SMSC recommends a series resistor for the crystal circuit. Further details are provided in
SMSC Application Note 10.7 - "Parallel Crystal Circuit Input Voltage Control" and in the LAN83C185 MII
Customer Reference Board (Assy. 6316) schematic.

LED’s
The LAN83C185 provides four LED outputs signals, which share pins with the PHY address signals, as
described in the PHY address section below: These signals are:
ƒ

Speed LED (SPEED100)
Link LED (LINKON)
Activity LED (ACTIVITY)
Full-Duplex LED (FDUPLEX)
The LAN83C185 does not include the collision LED signal (COLST) found on the LAN83C180.
Please note: LED polarity is dependent on the PHY Address strapping. Please refer to the LAN83C185
datasheet for proper operation.

General Considerations
The topics described in the following sub-sections below require additional attention by the systems
designer when changing from the LAN83C180 PHY to the LAN83C185 PHY.
7.1
Pinout Differences
The LAN83C180 and the LAN83C185 are not pin compatible. Always refer to the LAN83C185 datasheet
and LAN83C185 Customer Reference Board schematic when implementing a design using the LAN83C185.
7.1.1
PHY Address
The LAN83C185 has five PHY address signals (PHYAD0:4). The PHY address signals on the LAN83C185
are multiplexed with other signals (please refer to Table 7.1 below). The LAN83C180 provided these signals
on dedicated pins.

Please refer to the LAN83C185 datasheet, “LED Description” section for proper PHY address/LED
implementation.
7.1.2
MII Interface
The MII interface functionality remains the same for both the LAN83C180 and the LAN83C185 – note that
the pin-outs are different. Please refer to the LAN83C185 datasheet for the proper pin numbers and
definitions.
The LAN83C185 incorporates series resistors between the LAN83C185 outputs and the MII interface inputs.
These signals are listed in Table 7.2 below.

Migrating from the LAN83C180 10/100 PHY to the LAN83C185 10/100 PHY
7.1.3
RBIAS
The LAN83C180 incorporates two (2) RBIAS resistors on signals TXREF100 and TXREF10 (Pins 33, 34).
The LAN83C185 combines these onto one RBIAS signal - EXRES1 (Pin 59). The RBIAS resistor value for
the LAN83C185 is 12.4K-Ohm.
7.1.4
Mode
The Mode pins control the auto-negotiation, 10 and 100 Mbps data rates, and full-/half-duplex operation of
the LAN83C185 PHY.
The LAN83C180 utilizes two (2) pins - RPTR (Pin 21) and ANEN (Pin 22) which are analogous to the
LAN83C185’s MODE pins (Pins 4, 5, and 6).
Please refer to the LAN83C185 datasheet, “Mode Bus” paragraph, in the “Configuration Signals” section for
proper Mode bus operation.
8
Application Specific Notes
When designing the LAN83C185 with the SMSC LAN91C110 device, an extra single OR-GATE is required.
The OR-GATE should be wired with CRS and RX_DV signals (from the LAN83C185) to the inputs of the
OR-GATE. The output of the OR-GATE should be wired to the CRS100 pin of the LAN91C110.

Conclusion
Following the guidelines in this application note will help to ensure a proper design-in when migrating from
the LAN83C180 to the LAN83C185
Note that this application note serves only as a general set of guidelines that should be followed when using
an SMSC LAN83C185 chip. Specific customer requirements may both create new guidelines, which must be
followed, and/or force specific rules dictated here to be broken.
