INTRODUCTION
This manual provides information specifically on
the CDB8952 Evaluation board and generally on
any design incorporating the CS8952 Crystal-
LAN
TM
10Base-T and 100Base-X Transceiver.
The reader should have a general knowledge of
hardware design and Ethernet operation.

Evaluation Kit Contents
The CDB8952 Evaluation Board Kit includes the
following:
BOARD CONFIGURATION
I/O Connectors
J1 - External TX_CLK. This connector may be
used to supply TX_CLK when HDR42 and HDR43
are set appropriately.
J2 - RJ45, Twisted-pair Media (Table 2).
J5 - MII Power. When the board is connected to a
system that does not supply power through the MII
connector, +5 V or +3.3 V must be supplied here.
J6 - CS8952 Core Power. +5 V must be supplied
here from either J5 (if +5 V is supplied through the
MII connector) or an external power supply.
J13 - MII Connector (Table 3).
Configuration Jumpers and Switches
S1 - Board Reset. Depressing this push-button
switch will force the CS8952 into a reset state.
S2 - Test 1 (not populated). This switch is used to
select a factory test mode, and should not be
pressed during normal operation.
S3 - Physical Address Select. This 5-position
switch is used to select the physical address to
which the CS8952 will respond. “Open” or “Off”
will set the corresponding physical address bit to
ZERO, while “Closed” or “On” will set it to ONE.
The CS8952 checks the positions of this switch
only during power-up or reset. If any switch posi-
tion is changed, a reset or power cycle is required
before the new settings will take effect.
