FAQ

What is the purpose of the WAKE_ON_WAN_N signal?

The WAKE_ON_WAN_N signal is an open drain, active low signal that wakes up the host. It requires a 10k pull-up resistor on the host side. If unused, it should not be connected. This signal is necessary to wake up the host if the host supports USB suspend-resume but not remote wake-up function.
