National Semiconductor DP83847 Ethernet PHY Datasheet
The DP83847 is a single‑port Ethernet physical layer device supporting 10BASE‑T and 100BASE‑TX over Category 3 or 5 unshielded twisted‑pair cables. It interfaces to MAC devices via the IEEE 802.3u Media Independent Interface (MII) and includes on‑chip DSP, PLLs, and low‑power 3.3 V CMOS technology.
The document provides pin descriptions, electrical specifications, timing diagrams, package dimensions, and recommended land‑pattern details for designers integrating the PHY into motherboard or embedded applications.
