PRODUCT BRIEF

VSC8501

Single Port GbE Copper PHY with Synchronous

Ethernet and RGMII/GMII Interface

Low-power PHY supports IEEE 802.3az Energy Efficient

Ethernet.

The VSC8501 device is designed for space-constrained

10/100/1000BASE-T applications. It features integrated line-side

termination to conserve board space, to lower EMI, and to improve

system performance. To further reduce system complexity, component

count, and system cost, the VSC8501 device can operate from a single

3.3 V supply using integrated voltage regulators that provide the

necessary 1.0 V and 2.5 V rails for operation. Additionally, integrated

RGMII timing compensation eliminates the need for on-board delay

lines.

Highlights

• EcoEthernet™ 2.0, the gold

standard for Energy Efficient

Ethernet (EEE)

• Wake-on-LAN (WOL)

• Fast link failure indication

• Synchronous Ethernet support

• Dual recovered clocks for

timing reference

• Ring Resiliency™

• Integrated voltage regulator

• Pin compatible with VSC8502

The VSC8501 device includes Vitesse’s EcoEthernet™ 2.0 technology

Applications

that supports Energy Efficient Ethernet and power saving features to

reduce power based on link state and cable reach. The device optimizes

power consumption in all link operating speeds and features

Wake-on-LAN (WOL) power management using magic packets.

The VSC8501 device also includes fast link failure indication for

high-availability networks. Fast link failure indication identifies the onset

of a link failure in less than 1 ms typical to go beyond the IEEE 802.3

standard requirement of 750 ms ±10 ms (link master).

• IoT applications such as digital

signage, eHealth, and industrial

grade switches

• Consumer electronics such as

CPE, UHDTV, media servers,

NAS, and gaming consoles

• Wireless backhaul

Synchronous Ethernet and Ring Resiliency™ are supported. The device

• Small cells, femtocells

has two recovered clock outputs for Synchronous Ethernet applications.

Programmable clock squelch control is included to inhibit undesirable clocks from propagating and to help prevent

timing loops. Ring Resiliency allows a PHY port to switch between master and slave timing references with no link drop

in 1000BASE-T mode.
