(SyncE), Start of Frame (SOF), and Fast Link Failure 2.0 (FLF2)

indication, with widest I/O LVCMOS support.

The VSC8541 device, offered in a small 8 mm x 8 mm single-row QFN

package, is designed for space-constrained 10/100/1000BASE-T

applications. It features integrated line-side termination to conserve

board space, lower EMI, and improve system performance. Additionally,

integrated RGMII version 2.0 standard timing compliant compensation

eliminates the need for on-board delay lines.

link operating speeds, and features Wake-on-LAN power management

using magic packets.

The device has a recovered clock output for Synchronous Ethernet

applications. Programmable clock squelch control is included to inhibit

undesirable clocks from propagating and to help prevent timing loops.

Microsemi's patented Ring Resiliency™ allows a PHY port to switch

between master and slave timing references with no link drop while in

1000BASE-T mode.

VSC8541 also includes Fast Link Failure (FLF) indication for high-

availability networks. FLF indication identifi es the onset of a link failure
