1.0 Introduction 

 
The KSZ8091RNA / KSZ8091RND is a 10Base-T/100Base-TX Physical Layer Transceiver with 
an RMII MAC interface. It utilizes a unique mixed-signal design to extend signaling distance while 
reducing power consumption, and offers HP Auto MDI/MDI-X for reliable detection of and 
correction for crossover and straight-through cables, eliminating the need to differentiate between 
crossover and straight-through cables. It also supports Energy Efficient Ethernet (EEE) and 
Wake-on-LAN (WOL). 
 
The difference between the KSZ8091RNA and KSZ8091RND is the default clocking configuration 
for the RMII interface.  The KSZ8091RNA (by default) outputs a 50 MHz RMII Reference clock, 
while the KSZ8091RND (by default) takes the 50 MHz RMII Reference clock as an input. 
 
The KSZ8091RNA / KSZ8091RND comes in a 24-pin, lead-free QFN package and provides an 
ideal solution for 10Base-T/100Base-TX applications that have tight PCB board space. 
 
The KSZ8091RNA and KSZ8091RND Eval Boards (KSZ8091RNA-EVAL and KSZ8091RND-
EVAL) provide a convenient platform to evaluate the features of the device. All configuration pins 
are accessible either by jumpers, test points or interface connectors.
