Introduction

The KSZ8441HL Evaluation Board provides a platform in which to test or explore the functionally of the KSZ8441HL IEEE 1588 Precision Time Protocol PTP enabled switch products.

The KSZ8441HL and KSZ8441FHL devices are 1-port 10BASE-T / 100BASE-TX/FX Ethernet end points with a generic parallel host interface. This is the ideal solution in industrial applications where real time clock synchronization using Ethernet connectivity across a network is desired. The KSZ8441HL is fully compliant with the IEEE 1588 Version 2 Precision Time Protocol and IEEE 10/100BASE-T/TX standards.

This KSZ8441HL Evaluation Board User Guide provides the information necessary to configure and set up the board to evaluate or test the KSZ8441HL devices in different environments.

3 Hardware Description

The KSZ8441HL Evaluation board uses the same PCB as the KSZ8462HL Evaluation board. The KSZ8441 has one less Ethernet port, so there are components and connectors on the board which are unused with the KSZ8441.

It is a small form-factor board x that can be configured by a host processor connected through the 16-bit generic parallel host interface. In addition to passing full-rate Ethernet traffic, the external host processor can read and write the entire register set within the KSZ8441HL device through this interface.

The board supports different types of host processors. Therefore a strap-in configuration mode is provided to set the parallel interface according to the type of processor used. Strap-in mode configuration occurs at power on time where the voltage level on certain pins is automatically sampled and used to configure various features in the device. This is accomplished with the on board jumper options.

Available configuration options are explained in detail in the following sections. Figure 1 is a picture of the KSZ8441HL Evaluation board.
