Additional Details

The RTL8211FSI-VS-CG automatically detects and configures the network speed and duplex mode using the auto-negotiation feature. The integrated termination resistors eliminate the need for external components, reducing board space and cost. The Energy-Efficient Ethernet (EEE) support reduces power consumption during periods of low network activity. The Wake-on-LAN (WOL) feature allows the system to be powered on remotely over the network. The SGMII/SerDes interface provides a flexible and high-speed connection to the MAC controller. The device typically operates from a 3.3V or 1.0V power supply, depending on the configuration. The detailed electrical characteristics, package information, and application notes are available in the Realtek datasheet for this part number. The RTL8211FSI-VS-CG is widely used in various networking applications due to its performance, features, and cost-effectiveness.
