TO OUR VALUED CUSTOMERS
It is our intention to provide our valued customers with the best documentation possible to ensure successful use of your Microchip
products. To this end, we will continue to improve our publications to better suit your needs. Our publications will be refined and
enhanced as new volumes and updates are introduced.
If you have any questions or comments regarding this publication, please contact the Marketing Communications Department via
E-mail at
docerrors@microchip.com.
We welcome your feedback.
Most Current Data Sheet
To obtain the most up-to-date version of this data sheet, please register at our Worldwide Web site at:
http://www.microchip.com
You can determine the version of a data sheet by examining its literature number found on the bottom outside corner of any page.
The last character of the literature number is the version number, (e.g., DS30000000A is version A of document DS30000000).
Errata
An errata sheet, describing minor operational differences from the data sheet and recommended workarounds, may exist for cur-
rent devices. As device/documentation issues become known to us, we will publish an errata sheet. The errata will specify the
revision of silicon and revision of document to which it applies.
To determine if an errata sheet exists for a particular device, please check with one of the following:
• Microchip’s Worldwide Web site;
http://www.microchip.com
• Your local Microchip sales office (see last page)
When contacting a sales office, please specify which device, revision of silicon and data sheet (include -literature number) you are
using.

INTRODUCTION
General Description
The KSZ8873MLL/FLL/RLL are highly integrated 3-port switch-on-a-chip ICs in the industry’s smallest footprint. They
are designed to enable a new generation of low port count, cost-sensitive, and power efficient 10/100 Mbps switch sys-
tems. Low power consumption, advanced power management, and sophisticated QoS features (e.g., IPv6 priority clas-
sification support) make these devices ideal for IPTV, IP-STB, VoIP, automotive, and industrial applications.
The KSZ8873 family is designed to support the GREEN requirement in today’s switch systems. Advanced power man-
agement schemes include hardware power down, software power down, per port power down, and the energy detect
mode that shuts downs the transceiver when a port is idle.
KSZ8873MLL/FLL/RLL also offer a bypass mode. In this mode, the processor connected to the switch through the MII
interface can be shut down without impacting the normal switch operation.
The configurations provided by the KSZ8873 family enables the flexibility to meet requirements of different applications:
• KSZ8873MLL: Two 10/100BASE-T/TX transceivers and one MII interface.
• KSZ8873RLL: Two 10/100BASE-T/TX transceivers and one RMII interface.
• KSZ8873FLL: Two 100BASE-FX transceivers and one MII interface.
The devices are available in RoHS-compliant 64-pin LQFP packages. Industrial-grade and qualified AEC-Q100 Auto-
motive-grade versions are also available.
