USB to Ethernet interface.
The EVB-LAN7500 is full featured Evaluation Board EVB that utilizes the LAN7500 to provide a fully functional, bus-powered USB to Ethernet interface. The EVB-LAN7500 provides a fully integrated Ethernet port and USB port via the onboard RJ45 and USB Type A connectors. The onboard 4K EEPROM is used to load the EVB-LAN7500 USB configuration parameters and MAC address. LAN7500 software drivers are available for Microsoft Windows, Mac OSX, and Linux. Additional manufacturing and diagnostic tools are available for debugging and external EEPROM configuration.
Users of the LAN8810/20(i) can use the EVB-LAN7500 since evaluation platforms are not commercially availablefor these devices. These interface to the MAC using a non-standard MAC connector (there is no standard connector for GMII/RGMII). The LAN7500 has integrated the LAN8810/20 core which allows the use of the EVB-LAN7500, for the purpose of evaluating the major LAN8810/20 features as well as the Ethernet parametrics.
