ESD protection part ESDA6V1BC6 is implemented on USB port because all USB pins on
STM32 can be used as V
BUS
or GPIO on the STM32 Nucleo-144 board.
Note:
If these pins are dedicated to USB port only, the USBLC6-4SC6 protection part is more
suitable to protect USB port. If USB pin ID is not used, USBLC6-2SC6 can be used.
6.11 Ethernet
The STM32 Nucleo-144 board supports 10M/100M Ethernet communication by a PHY
LAN8742A-CZ-TR (U9) and RJ45 connector (CN14). Ethernet PHY is connected to the
STM32 microcontroller via the RMII interface. 50MHz clock for the STM32 microcontroller is
generated by the PHY RMII_REF_CLK.
Note:
1. NUCLEO-F303ZE, NUCLEO-F412ZG, NUCLEO-F413ZH, NUCLEO-F446ZE and
NUCLEO-F722ZE do not support the Ethernet function.
2. JP6 and JP7 must be closed when using Ethernet.
3. Ethernet PHY LAN8742A should be set in power-down mode (in this mode Ethernet PHY
ref clock turns off) to achieve the expected low-power mode current. This is done by
configuring Ethernet PHY LAN8742A Basic Control Register (at address 0x00) Bit 11
(Power Down) to '1'. SB13 can also be removed to get the same effect.
