connect to Analog GND plane.
Digital GND: all GND pin of RTL8201 except Analog GND pin.
Digital Power: all VDD pin of RTL8201 except Analog power pins.
Analog GND: 29, 35, 45
Analog Power: 32, 36, 48
!
Both RJ-45 connector and the secondary side of the magnetic, which connects the
RJ-45 connector, use their own isolated ground. No power and ground planes exist
underneath this isolated area.

6. Notice at ACR Card
!
If RTL8201 is connected to a controller watching for a wake-on-lan packet, you
may use 3.3Vaux supported by ACR slot as your power source for RTL8201 and its
related peripheral components. If other devices on ACR card also use the 3.3Vaux
power at the same time, the total current consumption supplied by 3.3Vaux on your
ACR card must lower than 0.375A to confirm to ACR specification.
!
For better performance on GND plane at 2-Layer design, please follow as shown :
!
The MII interface of fast ethernet PHYceiver on ACR card is connected to primary
MII showed as ACR specification. Because the ACR specification is not defined
already, so if you want to produce the ACR card, please doubly check with the
chipset vendors and motherboard vendors.
