RTL8305S datasheet by Realtek Semiconductor

RTL8305S Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

• What is the recommended PCB layout for the RTL8305S to ensure optimal performance?
  A 4-layer PCB with a solid ground plane and a separate power plane is recommended. Keep the analog and digital sections separate, and use a common mode filter to reduce EMI.
• How do I configure the RTL8305S for a specific Ethernet protocol?
  The RTL8305S is a highly configurable device. Use the RTL8305S configuration registers to set the desired protocol, speed, and duplex mode. Refer to the datasheet for register addresses and bit definitions.
• What is the maximum cable length supported by the RTL8305S?
  The RTL8305S supports cable lengths up to 100 meters for 10/100Mbps and up to 80 meters for 1000Mbps, assuming Category 5e or higher cabling.
• How do I troubleshoot issues with the RTL8305S?
  Use a logic analyzer or oscilloscope to monitor the RTL8305S's signal lines. Check the datasheet for troubleshooting guidelines and error detection mechanisms. Consult Realtek's application notes and FAQs for additional guidance.
• Can I use the RTL8305S in a industrial temperature range (-40°C to 85°C) application?
  Yes, the RTL8305S is rated for industrial temperature range operation. However, ensure that your PCB design and components can also withstand the same temperature range.
