Instructions for Use

1. Power Supply:

   • Connect the VCC pin to a 3.3V ± 5% power supply.
   • Ensure a stable power supply to avoid operational issues.

2. Grounding:

   • Connect all ground pins (GND) to a common ground plane to ensure proper signal integrity and reduce noise.

3. MDI Connection:

   • Connect the MDI pins to an RJ45 connector for 10/100BASE-TX operation.
   • Ensure proper termination and cable quality to maintain signal integrity.

4. Configuration:

   • Use the SPI or I2C interface to configure the device settings as required.
   • Refer to the datasheet for specific configuration registers and their functions.

5. Low Power Mode:

   • To enter low power mode, set the appropriate control register bits.
   • This mode reduces power consumption but may affect performance.

6. Wake-on-LAN:

   • Enable Wake-on-LAN by configuring the relevant registers.
   • Ensure the system supports this feature and is properly configured.

7. EMI Considerations:

   • Follow recommended PCB layout guidelines to minimize electromagnetic interference (EMI).
   • Use decoupling capacitors close to the power pins to filter out noise.

8. ESD Handling:

   • Handle the device with care to avoid electrostatic discharge (ESD).
   • Use ESD protection equipment when handling the device.

9. Testing:

   • After assembly, perform initial tests to verify functionality.
   • Use diagnostic tools to check link status, data transmission, and error rates.

10. Storage:

    • Store the device in a dry, cool environment to prevent moisture damage.
    • Follow anti-static storage practices to protect the device from ESD.
