12.0 MAGNETIC - CONNECTION AND SELECTION
A 1:1 isolation transformer is required at the line interface. Use one with integrated common-mode chokes for designs
exceeding FCC requirements. An optional auto-transformer stage following the chokes provides additional common-
mode noise and signal attenuation.
The KSZ9031RNX design incorporates voltage-mode transmit drivers and on-chip terminations.
With the voltage-mode implementation, the transmit drivers supply the common-mode voltages to the four differential
pairs. Therefore, the four transformer center tap pins on the KSZ9031RNX side should not be connected to any power
supply source on the board; rather, the center tap pins should be separated from one another and connected through
separate 0.1 µF common-mode capacitors to ground. Separation is required because the common-mode voltage could
be different between the four differential pairs, depending on the connected speed mode.
Figure 12-1 shows the typical gigabit magnetic interface circuit for the KSZ9031RNX.

Table 12-1 lists recommended magnetic characteristics.
Table 12-2 is a list of compatible single-port magnetics with separated transformer center tap pins on the G-PHY chip
side that can be used with the KSZ9031RNX.
