The WG82579LM is a compact, singleunit Ethernet controller in a QFN48 package. Designed for integration into embedded boards, networking devices, and PC hardware, it provides a reliable gigabit Ethernet interface in a spacesaving form factor. Key benefits Enables 1 Gbps network connectivity through a single, compact device suitable for spaceconstrained designs. Integrated MAC and PHY reduce bill of materials and simplify PCB design compared with discrete implementations. Small QFN48 package supports compact layouts and easy surfacemount assembly. Flexible host interface supports integration with standard system architectures, enabling broad compatibility. Requires appropriate driver support for the target operating system, ensuring reliable operation with supported software environments. Key attributes Model: WG82579LM Package: QFN48 Configuration: 1piece unit Functionality: Ethernet controller with integrated MAC/PHY Speed: 1 Gbps (Gigabit Ethernet) Applications: suitable for embedded systems, networking devices, and PC addon solutions Compatibility: designed for use in systems needing a compact gigabit Ethernet interface; driver availability and OS support required Use cases and applications Embedded networking in industrial equipment: add a reliable 1 Gbps Ethernet interface to field devices, controllers, or gateways where space is at a . PC addon or singleboard computer projects: upgrade or enable gigabit networking in compact formfactor motherboards, embedded PCs, or slim workstations. Network appliances and gateways: deploy a compact Ethernet interface in small formfactor routers, firewalls, or monitoring devices to ensure speed LAN connectivity. Notes This product requires suitable driver support for the target operating system and host platform. The description reflects the model and packaging (WG82579LM in QFN48) and aligns with typical use of a gigabit Ethernet controller in a compact package.
