Chapter 1. Product Overview
1.1 INTRODUCTION
The KSZ8061MNX Evaluation Board is designed to enable functional and performance
testing of the KSZ8061MNX PHY. In addition to the KSZ8061 PHY, there is a second
PHY–a KSZ8081. The KSZ8081 is a standard 10/100 Ethernet PHY. It is used here to
provide a second line interface for simple full-duplex traffic through the KSZ8061. This
board is not intended for evaluation of the KSZ8081. A block diagram of the board is
shown in Figure 1-1. Figure 1-2 highlights the board components.
