Datasheet
Revision 1.0 (05-28-09) 28 SMSC LAN8720/LAN8720i
DATASHEET
In some system architectures, a 25MHz clock source is available. The LAN8720 can be used to
generate the REF_CLK to the MAC as shown in Figure 4.6. It is important to note that in this specific
Figure 4.5 LAN8720 sources REF_CLK from a 25MHz crystal
