LAN9303M Evaluation Board User Manual
1 Introduction
The LAN9303M is a full featured, three-port 10/100 managed Ethernet switch designed for embedded
applications where performance, flexibility, ease of integration and system cost control are required.
The LAN9303M combines all the functions of a 10/100 Ethernet switch system, including the Switch
Fabric, packet buffers, Buffer Manger, MACs, PHY transceivers, and serial management. The
LAN9303M complies with the IEEE 802.3 (full/half-duplex 10BASE-T and 100BASE-TX) Ethernet
protocol specification and 802.1D/802.1Q management protocol specifications, enabling compatibility
with industry standard Ethernet and Fast Ethernet applications.
The EVB9303M is an Evaluation Board (EVB) that utilizes the LAN9303M to provide a fully functional
three-port dual MII/RMII/Turbo MII Ethernet switch. The EVB9303M provides two fully integrated
MAC/PHY Ethernet ports (Ports 1 & 2) via on-board RJ45 connectors. Port 0 and Port 1 each provide
two MII port connectors (for a total of 4) which support the following:
An external MII-/RMII-/Turbo MII-capable MAC (with LAN9303M in PHY mode), via the onboard
40-pin male MII connector
An external MII-/Turbo MII-capable PHY (with LAN9303M in MAC mode), via the onboard 40-pin
female MII connector
The Port 0 and Port 1 modes of operation are configured via a single, 8-position, mode-configuration
strap switch.
Power is supplied to the board via a +5V external wall-mount power supply. The external supply is not
necessary when Port 0 or Port 1 is configured for (and used in) PHY mode. In such cases, the +5V
power rail is typically supplied through the MII connector from the MAC side.
The EVB9303M includes a 8Kx8 I
2
C EEPROM that may be used to automatically load configuration
settings from the EEPROM into the device at reset, allowing the device to operate unmanaged. An I
2
C
host adapter interface header (10-pin, 2x5) is provided to simplify I
2
C based configuration. A simplified
block diagram of the EVB9303M can be seen in
Figure 1.1.

Jumpers
The following tables describe the default settings and jumper descriptions for the EVB9303M. These
defaults are the recommended configurations for evaluation of the LAN9303M. These settings may be
changed as needed, however, any deviation from the default settings should be approached with care
and knowledge of the schematics and datasheet. An incorrect jumper setting may disable the board.
Note:
A dashed line in the
Settings
column indicates the board’s default jumper setting.

JP7 - JP18
Jumpers JP7 through JP18 set various functions of the LAN9303M. They can also be used as GPIOs,
LED drivers, or interrupts. When used as LED drivers, as they are on the EVB9303M, they are
connected a specific way to set the strap value to a “1”, and another way to set the strap value to a
“0”.
Figure 2.2
illustrates the schematic connections with the LED1 circuit as a pull-up, and the LED2
circuit as a pull-down. To illuminate LED1, the LAN9303M will drive the cathode of the LED1 low. To
illuminated LED2, the LAN9303M will drive the anode of the LED2 high.
The JP7 - JP18 jumpers must be configured in pairs to identical settings in order to realize the LED1
circuit or the LED2 circuit. The pairings are as follows:
JP7 & JP13
JP8 & JP14
JP9 & JP15
JP10 & JP16

The following subsections detail the jumper pair settings, their associated strap settings, and the
functional effects of setting the straps. All strap values are read during power-up and on the rising edge
of the nRST signal. Once the strap value is set, the LAN9303M will drive the LEDs high or low for
illumination according the strap value. For other designs which may use these pins as GPIOs or
interrupts, refer to the LAN9303M datasheet for additional information. In those cases, internal default
straps must be changed by an I
2
C or SMI master or through EEPROM fields.
