serial interface which may be asynchronous to transmit and receive clocks. The maximum clock
rate is 25 MHz with no minimum clock rate.
MDIO I/O 24 MANAGEMENT DATA I/O: Bi-directional management instruction/data signal that may be
sourced by the station management entity or the PHY. This pin requires a 1.5-kΩpullup resistor.
4.4 Mac Data Interface
SIGNAL
NAME TYPE PIN # DESCRIPTION
COL S, O, PU 35
MII COLLISION DETECT: Asserted high to indicate detection of a collision condition
(simultaneous transmit and receive activity) in 10 Mb/s and 100 Mb/s Half-Duplex Modes.
While in 10BASE-T Half-Duplex mode with heartbeat enabled this pin is also asserted for a
duration of approximately 1 µs at the end of transmission to indicate heartbeat (SQE test).
In Full Duplex Mode, for 10 Mb/s or 100 Mb/s operation, this signal is always logic 0. There is no
heartbeat function during 10Mb/s full duplex operation.
RMII COLLISION DETECT: Per the RMII Specification, no COL signal is required. The MAC will
recover CRS from the CRS_DV signal and use that along with its TX_EN signal to determine
collision.
CRS/CRS_D
VS, O, PU 33
MII CARRIER SENSE: Asserted high to indicate the receive medium is non-idle.
RMII CARRIER SENSE/RECEIVE DATA VALID: This signal combines the RMII Carrier and
Receive Data Valid indications. For a detailed description of this signal, see the RMII
Specification.
RX_CLK O 31
MII RECEIVE CLOCK: Provides the 25 MHz recovered receive clocks for 100 Mb/s mode and
2.5 MHz for 10 Mb/s mode.
Unused in RMII mode. The device uses the X1 reference clock input as the 50 MHz reference for
both transmit and receive.

4.7 Reset
SIGNAL
NAME TYPE PIN # DESCRIPTION
RESET_N I, PU 23
RESET: Active Low input that initializes or re-initializes the DP83848x. Asserting this pin low for
at least 1 µs will force a reset process to occur. All internal registers will re-initialize to their
default states as specified for each bit in the Register Block section. All strap options are re-
initialized as well.
(1) AN1 (LED_SPEED) is only available on the DP83848J/K.
4.8 Strap Options
DP83848x uses many functional pins as strap options. The values of these pins are sampled during reset
and used to strap the device into specific modes of operation. The strap option pin assignments are
defined below. The functional pin name is indicated in parentheses.
A 2.2-kΩresistor should be used for pulldown or pullup to change the default strap option. If the default
option is required, then there is no need for external pullup or pulldown resistors. Because these pins may
have alternate functions after reset is deasserted, they should not be connected directly to VCC or GND.

PHY ADDRESS [4:0]: The DP83848x provides five PHY address pins, the state of which
are latched into the PHYCTRL register at system Hardware-Reset.
The DP83848x supports PHY Address strapping values 0 (<00000>) through 31 (<11111>).
A PHY Address of 0 puts the part into the MII Isolate Mode. The MII isolate mode must
be selected by strapping Phy Address 0; changing to Address 0 by register write will not put
the Phy in the MII isolate mode. Refer to Section 6.4.4 for additional information.
PHYAD0 pin has weak internal pullup resistor.
PHYAD[4:1] pins have weak internal pulldown resistors.

These input pins control the advertised operating mode of the device according to the
following table. The value on these pins are set by connecting them to GND (0) or VCC (1)
through 2.2-kresistors. These pins should NEVER be connected directly to GND or VCC.
The value set at this input is latched into the DP83848x at Hardware-Reset.
The float/pulldown status of these pins are latched into the Basic Mode Control Register
and the Auto_Negotiation Advertisement Register during Hardware-Reset.
The default for DP83848x is 11 because these pins have an internal pullup.

MII_MODE (RX_DV) S, O, PD 32
MII MODE SELECT: This strapping option determines the operating mode of the MAC
Data Interface. Default operation (No pullup) will enable normal MII Mode of operation.
Strapping MII_MODE high will cause the device to be in RMII mode of operation. Because
the pin includes an internal pulldown, the default value is 0.
The following table details the configuration:

LED CONFIGURATION: This strapping option determines the mode of operation of the
LED pins. Default is Mode 1. Mode 1 and Mode 2 can be controlled through the strap
option. All modes are configurable through register access.
See Table 6-2 for LED Mode Selection.
MDIX_EN (RX_ER) S, O, PU 34 MDIX ENABLE: Default is to enable MDIX. This strapping option disables Auto-MDIX. An
external pulldown will disable Auto-MDIX mode.

(3) RX_CLK may be held low or high for a longer period of time during transition between reference and recovered clocks. Minimum high
and low times will not be violated.
(4) For Normal mode, latency is determined by measuring the time from the first rising edge of TX_CLK occurring after the assertion of
TX_EN to the first bit of the “J” code group as output from the PMD Output Pair. 1 bit time = 10 ns in 100 Mb/s mode.
(5) Deassertion is determined by measuring the time from the first rising edge of TX_CLK occurring after the deassertion of TX_EN to the
first bit of the “T” code group as output from the PMD Output Pair. 1 bit time = 10 ns in 100 Mb/s mode.
(6) Normal Mismatch is the difference between the maximum and minimum of all rise and fall times.
(7) Rise and fall times taken at 10% and 90% of the +1 or –1 amplitude.
(8) Carrier Sense On Delay is determined by measuring the time from the first bit of the “J” code group to the assertion of Carrier Sense.
(9) 1 bit time = 10 ns in 100 Mb/s mode.
(10) PMD Input Pair voltage amplitude is greater than the Signal Detect Turnon Threshold Value.
(11) Carrier Sense Off Delay is determined by measuring the time from the first bit of the “T” code group to the deassertion of Carrier Sense.
(12) An attached Mac should drive the transmit signals using the positive edge of TX_CLK. As shown above, the MII signals are sampled on
the falling edge of TX_CLK.
(13) RX_CLK may be held low for a longer period of time during transition between reference and recovered clocks. Minimum high and low
times will not be violated.

(16) These specifications represent transmit timings.
(17) The signal amplitude on PMD Input Pair must be TP-PMD compliant.
(18) Due to the nature of the descrambler function, all 100BASE-TX Loopback modes will cause an initial “dead-time” of up to 550 µs during
which time no data will be present at the receive MII outputs. The 100BASE-TX timing specified is based on device delays after the
initial 550 µs “dead-time”.
(19) Measurement is made from the first rising edge of TX_CLK after assertion of TX_EN.
(20) Per the RMII Specification, output delays assume a 25-pF load.
(21) CRS_DV is asserted asynchronously in order to minimize latency of control signals through the Phy. CRS_DV may toggle
synchronously at the end of the packet to indicate CRS deassertion.
(22) RX_DV is synchronous to X1. While not part of the RMII specification, this signal is provided to simplify recovery of receive data.
(23) CRS ON delay is measured from the first bit of the JK symbol on the PMD Input Pair to initial assertion of CRS_DV.
(24) CRS OFF delay is measured from the first bit of the TR symbol on the PMD Input Pair to initial deassertion of CRS_DV.
(25) Receive Latency is measured from the first bit of the symbol pair on the PMD Input Pair. Typical values are with the Elasticity Buffer set
to the default value (01).

6 Detailed Description
6.1 Overview
The device is 10/100 Mbps Ethernet transceiver with an extended temperature range of -40°C to 105°C.
The ability to perform over extreme temperatures makes this device ideal for demanding environments like
automotive, transportation and industrial applications.
The device is AEC-Q100 Grade 2 certified. Its 3.3-V operating voltage and less than 270-mW typical
power consumption makes this device suitable for low-power applications.
The device has Auto MDIX capability to select MDI or MDIX automatically. It supports Auto-Negotiation for
selecting the highest performance mode of operation. This functionality can be turned off if a particular
mode is to be forced.
The device supports both MII and RMII interface, thus being more flexible and increasing the number of
compatible MPU. MII and RMII options can be selected using strap options or register control. The device
operates with 25-MHz clock when in MII mode and requires a 50-MHz clock when in RMII mode.

6.3 Feature Description
This section includes information on the various configurable features available with the DP83848x. The
configurations features described below include:
Auto-Negotiation
Auto-MDIX
LED Interface
Internal Loopback
BIST
Energy Detect Mode
6.3.1 Auto-Negotiation
The Auto-Negotiation function provides a mechanism for exchanging configuration information between
two ends of a link segment and automatically selecting the highest performance mode of operation
supported by both devices. Fast Link Pulse (FLP) Bursts provide the signaling used to communicate Auto-
Negotiation abilities between two devices at each end of a link segment. For further detail regarding Auto-
Negotiation, refer to Clause 28 of the IEEE 802.3 specification. The DP83848x supports four different
Ethernet protocols (10 Mb/s Half Duplex, 10 Mb/s Full Duplex, 100 Mb/s Half Duplex, and 100 Mb/s Full
Duplex), so the inclusion of Auto-Negotiation ensures that the highest performance protocol will be
selected based on the advertised ability of the Link Partner. In DP83848x, the Auto-Negotiation function
can be controlled either by internal register access or by the use of AN0 and AN1 pins.
6.3.1.1 Auto-Negotiation Pin Control
The state of AN0 and AN1 pins determine the specific mode advertised by the device as given in Table 6-
1. The state of AN0 and AN1 pins, upon power up/reset, determines the state of bits [8:5] of the ANAR
register.
The Auto-Negotiation function selected at power up or reset can be changed at any time by writing to the
Basic Mode Control Register (BMCR) at address 0x00h.

100BASE-TX, Half-Duplex
1 1 10BASE-T, Half/Full-Duplex
100BASE-TX, Half/Full-Duplex
6.3.1.2 Auto-Negotiation Register Control
When Auto-Negotiation is enabled, the DP83848x transmits the abilities programmed into the Auto-
Negotiation Advertisement register (ANAR) at address 04h through FLP Bursts. Any combination of 10
Mb/s, 100 Mb/s, Half-Duplex, and Full Duplex modes may be selected.
Auto-Negotiation Priority Resolution:
1. 100BASE-TX Full Duplex (Highest Priority)
2. 100BASE-TX Half Duplex
3. 10BASE-T Full Duplex
4. 10BASE-T Half Duplex (Lowest Priority)

The Basic Mode Control Register (BMCR) at address 00h provides control for enabling, disabling, and
restarting the Auto-Negotiation process. When Auto-Negotiation is disabled, the Speed Selection bit in the
BMCR controls switching between 10 Mb/s or 100 Mb/s operation, and the Duplex Mode bit controls
switching between full duplex operation and half duplex operation. The Speed Selection and Duplex Mode
bits have no effect on the mode of operation when the Auto-Negotiation Enable bit is set.
The Link Speed can be examined through the PHY Status Register (PHYSTS) at address 10h after a Link
is achieved.
The Basic Mode Status Register (BMSR) indicates the set of available abilities for technology types, Auto-
Negotiation ability, and Extended Register Capability. These bits are permanently set to indicate the full
functionality of the DP83848x (only the 100BASE-T4 bit is not set because the DP83848x does not
support that function).
The BMSR also provides status on:
Completion of Auto-Negotiation
Occurrence of a remote fault as advertised by the Link Partner
Establishment of a valid link
Support for Management Frame Preamble suppression
The Auto-Negotiation Advertisement Register (ANAR) indicates the Auto-Negotiation abilities to be
advertised by the DP83848x. All available abilities are transmitted by default, but any ability can be
suppressed by writing to the ANAR. Updating the ANAR to suppress an ability is one way for a
management agent to change (restrict) the technology that is used.
The Auto-Negotiation Link Partner Ability Register (ANLPAR) at address 05h is used to receive the base
link code word as well as all next page code words during the negotiation. Furthermore, the ANLPAR will
be updated to either 0081h or 0021h for parallel detection to either 100 Mb/s or 10 Mb/s respectively.
The Auto-Negotiation Expansion Register (ANER) indicates additional Auto-Negotiation status. The ANER
provides status on:
Occurrence of a Parallel Detect Fault
Next Page function support by the Link Partner
Next page support function by DP83848x
Reception of the current page that is exchanged by AutoNegotiation
Auto-Negotiation support by the Link Partner
6.3.1.3 Auto-Negotiation Parallel Detection
The DP83848x supports the Parallel Detection function as defined in the IEEE 802.3 specification. Parallel
Detection requires both the 10 Mb/s and 100 Mb/s receivers to monitor the receive signal and report link
status to the Auto-Negotiation function. Auto-Negotiation uses this information to configure the correct
technology in the event that the Link Partner does not support Auto-Negotiation but is transmitting link
signals that the 100BASE-TX or 10BASE-T PMAs recognize as valid link signals.
If the DP83848x completes Auto-Negotiation as a result of Parallel Detection, bit 5 or bit 7 within the
ANLPAR register will be set to reflect the mode of operation present in the Link Partner. Note that bits 4:0
of the ANLPAR will also be set to 00001 based on a successful parallel detection to indicate a valid 802.3
selector field. Software may determine that negotiation completed through Parallel Detection by reading a
zero in the Link Partner Auto-Negotiation Able bit once the Auto-Negotiation Complete bit is set. If
configured for parallel detect mode and any condition other than a single good link occurs then the parallel
detect fault bit will be set.

6.3.1.4 Auto-Negotiaion Restart
Once Auto-Negotiation has completed, it may be restarted at any time by setting bit 9 (Restart Auto-
Negotiation) of the BMCR to one. If the mode configured by a successful Auto-Negotiation loses a valid
link, then the Auto-Negotiation process will resume and attempt to determine the configuration for the link.
This function ensures that a valid configuration is maintained if the cable becomes disconnected.
A renegotiation request from any entity, such as a management agent, will cause the DP83848x to halt
any transmit data and link pulse activity until the break_link_timer expires (approximately 1500 ms).
Consequently, the Link Partner will go into link fail and normal Auto-Negotiation resumes. The DP83848x
will resume Auto-Negotiation after the break_link_timer has expired by issuing FLP (Fast Link Pulse)
bursts.
6.3.1.5 Auto-Negotiation Complete Time
Parallel detection and Auto-Negotiation take approximately 2-3 seconds to complete. In addition, Auto-
Negotiation with next page should take approximately 2-3 seconds to complete, depending on the number
of next pages sent.
Refer to Clause 28 of the IEEE 802.3 standard for a full description of the individual timers related to Auto-
Negotiation.
6.3.2 Auto-MDIX
When enabled, this function uses Auto-Negotiation to determine the proper configuration for transmission
and reception of data and subsequently selects the appropriate MDI pair for MDI/MDIX operation. The
function uses a random seed to control switching of the crossover circuitry. This implementation complies
with the corresponding IEEE 802.3 Auto-Negotiation and Crossover Specifications.
Auto-MDIX is enabled by default and can be configured through strap or through PHYCR (0x19h) register,
bits [15:14]. Neither Auto-Negotiation nor Auto-MDIX is required to be enabled in forcing crossover of the
MDI pairs. Forced crossover can be achieved through the FORCE_MDIX bit, bit 14 of PHYCR (0x19h)
register.
NOTE
Auto-MDIX will not work in a forced mode of operation.
6.3.3 LED Interface
The DP83848J/K supports configurable Light Emitting Diode (LED) pins for configuring the link and speed.
The DP83848H/M/T supports a configurable Light Emitting Diode (LED) pin for configuring the link.
Additional configuration of LED_LINK can be achieved using bit [5] of the PHY Control Register (PHYCR)
at register address 19h.

Detailed Description Copyright © 2008–2015, Texas Instruments Incorporated
The LED_LINK pin in Mode 1 indicates the link status of the port. In 100BASE-T mode, link is established
as a result of input receive amplitude compliant with the TPPMD specifications which will result in internal
generation of signal detect. A 10 Mb/s Link is established as a result of the reception of at least seven
consecutive normal Link Pulses or the reception of a valid 10BASE-T packet. This will cause the assertion
of LED_LINK. LED_LINK will deassert in accordance with the Link Loss Timer as specified in the IEEE
802.3 specification.
The LED_LINK pin in Mode 1 will be OFF when no LINK is present.
The LED_LINK pin in Mode 2 will be ON to indicate Link is good and BLINK to indicate activity is present
on either transmit or receive activity.
The LED_SPEED pin in DP83848J/K indicates 10 or 100 Mb/s data rate of the port. The standard CMOS
driver goes high when operating in 100Mb/s operation. The functionality of this LED is independent of the
mode selected.
Because these LED pins are also used as strap options, the polarity of the LED is dependent on whether
the pin is pulled up or down.
6.3.3.1 LED
Because the Auto-Negotiation strap options share the LED output pins, the external components required
for strapping and LED usage must be considered in order to avoid contention.
Specifically, when the LED output is used to drive the LED directly, the active state of the output driver is
dependent on the logic level sampled by the AN input upon power up/reset. For example, if the AN input is
resistively pulled low then the corresponding output will be configured as an active high driver.
Conversely, if the AN input is resistively pulled high, then the corresponding output will be configured as
an active low driver.
Refer to Figure 6-1 for an example of AN connection to external components. In this example, the AN
strapping results in Auto-Negotiation with 10BASE-T Half-Duplex , 100BASE-TX, Half-Duplex advertised.
The adaptive nature of the LED output helps to simplify potential implementation issues of this dual-
purpose pin.
Note: LED_SPEED only supported for DP83848J/K.

6.3.3.2 LED Direct Control
The DP83848x provides another option to directly control the LED outputs through the LED Direct Control
Register (LEDCR), address 18h. The register does not provide read access to the LED.
6.3.4 Internal Loopback
The DP83848x includes a Loopback Test mode for facilitating system diagnostics. The Loopback mode is
selected through bit 14 (Loopback) of the Basic Mode Control Register (BMCR). Writing 1 to this bit
enables MII transmit data to be routed to the MII receive outputs. Loopback status may be checked in bit 3
of the PHY Status Register (PHYSTS). While in Loopback mode the data will not be transmitted onto the
media. To ensure that the desired operating mode is maintained, Auto-Negotiation should be disabled
before selecting the Loopback mode.
6.3.5 BIST
The DP83848x incorporates an internal Built-in Self Test (BIST) circuit to accommodate in-circuit testing or
diagnostics. The BIST circuit can be used to test the integrity of the transmit and receive data paths. BIST
testing can be performed with the part in the internal loopback mode or externally looped back using a
loopback cable fixture.
The BIST is implemented with independent transmit and receive paths, with the transmit block generating
a continuous stream of a pseudo random sequence. The user can select a 9 bit or 15 bit pseudo random
sequence from the PSR_15 bit in the PHY Control Register (PHYCR). The received data is compared to
the generated pseudo-random data by the BIST Linear Feedback Shift Register (LFSR) to determine the
BIST pass/fail status.
The pass/fail status of the BIST is stored in the BIST status bit in the PHYCR register. The status bit
defaults to 0 (BIST fail) and will transition on a successful comparison. If an error (mis-compare) occurs,
the status bit is latched and is cleared upon a subsequent write to the Start/Stop bit.
For transmit VOD testing, the Packet BIST Continuous Mode can be used to allow continuous data
transmission, setting BIST_CONT_MODE, bit 5, of CDCTRL1 (0x1Bh).
The number of BIST errors can be monitored through the BIST Error Count in the CDCTRL1 (0x1Bh), bits
[15:8].
6.3.6 Energy Detect Mode
When Energy Detect is enabled and there is no activity on the cable, the DP83848x will remain in a low
power mode while monitoring the transmission line. Activity on the line will cause the DP83848x to go
through a normal power-up sequence. Regardless of cable activity, the DP83848x will occasionally wake
up the transmitter to put ED pulses on the line, but will otherwise draw as little power as possible. Energy
detect functionality is controlled through register Energy Detect Control (EDCR), address 0x1Dh.
6.4 Device Functional Modes
The DP83848x supports two modes of operation using the MII interface pins. The options are defined in
the following sections and include:
MII Mode
RMII Mode
The modes of operation can be selected by strap options or register control. For RMII mode, it is required
to use the strap option, because it requires a 50-MHz clock instead of the normal 25 MHz.
In the each of these modes, the IEEE 802.3 serial management interface is operational for device
configuration and status. The serial management interface of the MII allows for the configuration and
control of multiple PHY devices, gathering of status, error information, and the determination of the type
and capabilities of the attached PHY(s).

6.4.1 MII Interface
The DP83848x incorporates the Media Independent Interface (MII) as specified in Clause 22 of the IEEE
802.3 standard. This interface may be used to connect PHY devices to a MAC in 10/100 Mb/s systems.
This section describes the nibble wide MII data interface.
The nibble wide MII data interface consists of a receive bus and a transmit bus each with control signals
to facilitate data transfer between the PHY and the upper layer (MAC).
6.4.1.1 Nibble-wide MII Data Interface
Clause 22 of the IEEE 802.3 specification defines the Media Independent Interface. This interface includes
a dedicated receive bus and a dedicated transmit bus. These two data buses, along with various control
and status signals, allow for the simultaneous exchange of data between the DP83848x and the upper
layer agent (MAC).
The receive interface consists of a nibble wide data bus RXD[3:0], a receive error signal RX_ER, a receive
data valid flag RX_DV, and a receive clock RX_CLK for synchronous transfer of the data. The receive
clock operates at either 2.5 MHz to support 10 Mb/s operation modes or at 25 MHz to support 100 Mb/s
operational modes.
The transmit interface consists of a nibble wide data bus TXD[3:0], a transmit enable control signal
TX_EN, and a transmit clock TX_CLK which runs at either 2.5 MHz or 25 MHz.
Additionally, the MII includes the carrier sense signal CRS, as well as a collision detect signal COL. The
CRS signal asserts to indicate the reception of data from the network or as a function of transmit data in
Half Duplex mode. The COL signal asserts as an indication of a collision which can occur during half-
duplex operation when both a transmit and receive operation occur simultaneously.
6.4.1.2 Collision Detect
For Half Duplex, a 10BASE-T or 100BASE-TX collision is detected when the receive and transmit
channels are active simultaneously. Collisions are reported by the COL signal on the MII.
If the DP83848x is transmitting in 10 Mb/s mode when a collision is detected, the collision is not reported
until seven bits have been received while in the collision state. This prevents a collision being reported
incorrectly due to noise on the network. The COL signal remains set for the duration of the collision.
If a collision occurs during a receive operation, it is immediately reported by the COL signal.
When heartbeat is enabled (only applicable to 10 Mb/s operation), approximately 1 µs after the
transmission of each packet, a Signal Quality Error (SQE) signal of approximately 10 bit times is
generated (internally) to indicate successful transmission. SQE is reported as a pulse on the COL signal of
the MII.
6.4.1.3 Carrier Sense
Carrier Sense (CRS) is asserted due to receive activity, once valid data is detected through the squelch
function during 10 Mb/s operation. During 100 Mb/s operation, CRS is asserted when a valid link (SD) and
two non-contiguous zeros are detected on the line.
For 10 or 100 Mb/s Half Duplex operation, CRS is asserted during either packet transmission or reception.
For 10 or 100 Mb/s Full Duplex operation, CRS is asserted only due to receive activity.
CRS is deasserted following an end of packet.

6.4.2 Reduced MII Interface
The DP83848x incorporates the Reduced Media Independent Interface (RMII) as specified in the RMII
specification (revision 1.2) from the RMII Consortium. This interface may be used to connect PHY devices
to a MAC in 10/100 Mb/s systems using a reduced number of pins. In this mode, data is transferred 2-bits
at a time using the 50-MHz RMII_REF clock for both transmit and receive. The following pins are used in
RMII mode:
TX_EN
TXD[1:0]
RX_ER (optional for Mac)
CRS_DV
RXD[1:0]
X1 (RMII Reference clock is 50 MHz)
In addition, the RMII mode supplies an RX_DV signal which allows for a simpler method of recovering
receive data without having to separate RX_DV from the CRS_DV indication. This is especially useful for
systems which do not require CRS, such as systems that only support full duplex operation. This signal is
also useful for diagnostic testing where it may be desirable to loop Receive RMII data directly to the
transmitter.
Because the reference clock operates at 10 times the data rate for 10 Mb/s operation, transmit data is
sampled every 10 clocks. Likewise, receive data will be generated every 10th clock so that an attached
device can sample the data every 10 clocks.
RMII mode requires a 50-MHz oscillator be connected to the device X1 pin. A 50-MHz crystal is not
supported.
To tolerate potential frequency differences between the 50-MHz reference clock and the recovered receive
clock, the receive RMII function includes a programmable elasticity buffer. The elasticity buffer is
programmable to minimize propagation delay based on expected packet size and clock accuracy. This
allows for supporting a range of packet sizes including jumbo frames.
The elasticity buffer will force Frame Check Sequence errors for packets which overrun or underrun the
FIFO. Underrun and Overrun conditions can be reported in the RMII and Bypass Register (RBR). The
following table indicates how to program the elasticity buffer FIFO (in 4-bit increments) based on expected
max packet size and clock accuracy. It assumes both clocks (RMII Reference clock and far-end
Transmitter clock) have the same accuracy.

6.4.3.1 Serial Management Register Access
The serial management MII specification defines a set of thirty-two 16-bit status and control registers that
are accessible through the management interface pins MDC and MDIO. The DP83848x implements all the
required MII registers as well as several optional registers. These registers are fully described in
Section 6.6. A description of the serial management access protocol follows.

6.4.3.2 Serial Management Access Protocol
The serial control interface consists of two pins, Management Data Clock (MDC) and Management Data
Input/Output (MDIO). MDC has a maximum clock rate of 25 MHz and no minimum rate. The MDIO line is
bi-directional and may be shared by up to 32 devices. The MDIO frame format is shown below in Table 6-
4.
The MDIO pin requires a pullup resistor (1.5 kΩ) which, during IDLE and turnaround, will pull MDIO high.
In order to initialize the MDIO interface, the station management entity sends a sequence of 32 contiguous
logic ones on MDIO to provide the DP83848x with a sequence that can be used to establish
synchronization. This preamble may be generated either by driving MDIO high for 32 consecutive MDC
clock cycles, or by simply allowing the MDIO pullup resistor to pull the MDIO pin high during which time 32
MDC clock cycles are provided. In addition, 32 MDC clock cycles should be used to re-sync the device if
an invalid start, opcode, or turnaround bit is detected.
The DP83848x waits until it has received this preamble sequence before responding to any other
transaction. Once the DP83848x serial management port has been initialized no further preamble
sequencing is required until after a power on/reset, invalid Start, invalid Opcode, or invalid turnaround bit
has occurred.
The Start code is indicated by a <01> pattern. This assures the MDIO line transitions from the default idle
line state.
Turnaround is defined as an idle bit time inserted between the Register Address field and the Data field.
To avoid contention during a read transaction, no device shall actively drive the MDIO signal during the
first bit of Turnaround. The addressed DP83848x drives the MDIO with a zero for the second bit of
turnaround and follows this with the required data. Figure 6-2 shows the timing relationship between MDC
and the MDIO as driven/received by the Station (STA) and the DP83848x (PHY) for a typical register read
access.
For write transactions, the station management entity writes data to the addressed DP83848x thus
eliminating the requirement for MDIO Turnaround. The Turnaround time is filled by the management entity
by inserting <10>. Figure 6-3 shows the timing relationship for a typical MII register write access.

6.4.3.3 Serial Management Preamble Suppression
The DP83848x supports a Preamble Suppression mode as indicated by a one in bit 6 of the Basic Mode
Status Register (BMSR, address 01h.) If the station management entity (that is, MAC or other
management controller) determines that all PHYs in the system support Preamble Suppression by
returning a one in this bit, then the station management entity need not generate preamble for each
management transaction.
The DP83848x requires a single initialization sequence of 32 bits of preamble following hardware/software
reset. This requirement is generally met by the mandatory pullup resistor on MDIO in conjunction with a
continuous MDC, or the management access made to determine whether Preamble Suppression is
supported.
While the DP83848x requires an initial preamble sequence of 32 bits for management initialization, it does
not require a full 32-bit sequence between each subsequent transaction. A minimum of one idle bit
between management transactions is required as specified in the IEEE 802.3 specification.
6.4.4 PHY Address
The 5 PHY address inputs pins are shared with the RXD[3:0] pins and COL pin as shown in Table 6-5.
Table 6-5. PHY Address Mapping
PIN # PHYAD FUNCTION RXD FUNCTION
35 PHYAD0 COL
36 PHYAD1 RXD_0
37 PHYAD2 RXD_1
38 PHYAD3 RXD_2
39 PHYAD4 RXD_3
The DP83848x can be set to respond to any of 32 possible PHY addresses through strap pins. The
information is latched into the PHYCR register (address 19h, bits [4:0]) at device power up and hardware
reset. The PHY Address pins are shared with the RXD and COL pins. Each DP83848x or port sharing an
MDIO bus in a system must have a unique physical address.
The DP83848x supports PHY Address strapping values 0 (<00000>) through 31 (<11111>). Strapping
PHY Address 0 puts the part into Isolate Mode. It should also be noted that selecting PHY Address 0
through an MDIO write to PHYCR will not put the device in Isolate Mode. See Section 6.4.4.1 for more
information.
For further detail relating to the latch-in timing requirements of the PHY Address pins, as well as the other
hardware configuration pins, refer to the Reset summary in Section 6.4.6.
Because the PHYAD[0] pin has weak internal pullup resistor and PHYAD[4:1] pins have weak internal
pulldown resistors, the default setting for the PHY address is 00001 (01h).
Refer to Figure 6-4 for an example of a PHYAD connection to external components. In this example, the
PHYAD strapping results in address 00011 (03h).

6.4.4.1 MII Isolate Mode
The DP83848x can be put into MII Isolate mode by writing to bit 10 of the BMCR register or by strapping
in Physical Address 0. It should be noted that selecting Physical Address 0 through an MDIO write to
PHYCR will not put the device in the MII isolate mode.
When in the MII isolate mode, the DP83848x does not respond to packet data present at TXD[3:0],
TX_EN inputs and presents a high impedance on the TX_CLK, RX_CLK, RX_DV, RX_ER, RXD[3:0],
COL, and CRS outputs. When in Isolate mode, the DP83848x will continue to respond to all management
transactions.
While in Isolate mode, the PMD output pair will not transmit packet data but will continue to source
100BASE-TX scrambled idles or 10BASE-T normal link pulses.
The DP83848x can Auto-Negotiate or parallel detect to a specific technology depending on the receive
signal at the PMD input pair. A valid link can be established for the receiver even when the DP83848x is
in Isolate mode.
Figure 6-4. PHYAD Strapping Example
6.4.5 Half Duplex vs Full Duplex
The DP83848x supports both half and full duplex operation at both 10 Mb/s and 100 Mb/s speeds.
Half-duplex relies on the CSMA/CD protocol to handle collisions and network access. In Half-Duplex
mode, CRS responds to both transmit and receive activity in order to maintain compliance with the IEEE
802.3 specification.
Because the DP83848x is designed to support simultaneous transmit and receive activity, it is capable of
supporting full-duplex switched applications with a throughput of up to 200 Mb/s per port when operating
in 100BASE-TX mode. Because the CSMA/CD protocol does not apply to full duplex operation, the
DP83848x disables its own internal collision sensing and reporting functions and modifies the behavior of
Carrier Sense (CRS) such that it indicates only receive activity. This allows a full-duplex capable MAC to
operate properly.
All modes of operation (100BASE-TX and 10BASE-T) can run either half-duplex or full-duplex.
Additionally, other than CRS and Collision reporting, all remaining MII signaling remains the same
regardless of the selected duplex mode.

It is important to understand that while Auto-Negotiation with the use of Fast Link Pulse code words can
interpret and configure to full-duplex operation, parallel detection can not recognize the difference between
full and half-duplex from a fixed 10 Mb/s or 100 Mb/s link partner over twisted pair. As specified in the
802.3 specification, if a far-end link partner is configured to a forced full duplex 100BASE-TX ability, the
parallel detection state machine in the partner would be unable to detect the full duplex capability of the
far-end link partner. This link segment would negotiate to a half duplex 100BASE-TX configuration (same
scenario for 10 Mb/s).
6.4.6 Reset Operation
The DP83848x includes an internal power-on reset (POR) function and does not need to be explicitly reset
for normal operation after power up. If required during normal operation, the device can be reset by a
hardware or software reset.
6.4.6.1 Hardware Reset
A hardware reset is accomplished by applying a low pulse (TTL level), with a duration of at least 1 µs, to
the RESET_N. This will reset the device such that all registers will be reinitialized to default values and the
hardware configuration values will be re-latched into the device (similar to the power-up/reset operation).
6.4.6.2 Software Reset
A software reset is accomplished by setting the reset bit (bit 15) of the Basic Mode Control Register
(BMCR). The period from the point in time when the reset bit is set to the point in time when software
reset has concluded is approximately 1 µs.
The software reset will reset the device such that all registers will be reinitialized to default values and the
hardware configuration values will be re-latched into the device. Software driver code must wait 3 μs
following a software reset before allowing further serial MII operations.
6.4.7 Power Down
The device can be put in a Power Down mode by setting bit 11 (Power Down) in the Basic Mode Control
Register, BMCR (0x00h).

6.5.1.1.1 Code-Group Encoding and Injection
The code-group encoder converts 4-bit (4B) nibble data generated by the MAC into 5-bit (5B) code-groups
for transmission. This conversion is required to allow control data to be combined with packet data code-
groups. Refer to for 4B to 5B code-group mapping details. The code-group encoder substitutes the first 8-
bits of the MAC preamble with a J/K code-group pair (11000 10001) upon transmission.
The code-group encoder continues to replace subsequent 4B preamble and data nibbles with
corresponding 5B code-groups. At the end of the transmit packet, upon the deassertion of Transmit
Enable signal from the MAC, the code-group encoder injects the T/R code-group pair (01101 00111)
indicating the end of the frame.
After the T/R code-group pair, the code-group encoder continuously injects IDLEs into the transmit data
stream until the next transmit packet is detected (reassertion of Transmit Enable).

6.5.1.1.2 Scrambler
The scrambler is required to control the radiated emissions at the media connector and on the twisted pair
cable (for 100BASE-TX applications). By scrambling the data, the total energy launched onto the cable is
randomly distributed over a wide frequency range. Without the scrambler, energy levels at the PMD and
on the cable could peak beyond FCC limitations at frequencies related to repeating 5B sequences (that is,
continuous transmission of IDLEs).
The scrambler is configured as a closed loop linear feed-back shift register (LFSR) with an 11-bit
polynomial. The output of the closed loop LFSR is X-ORd with the serial NRZ data from the code-group
encoder. The result is a scrambled data stream with sufficient randomization to decrease radiated
emissions at certain frequencies by as much as 20 dB. The DP83848x uses the PHY_ID (pins PHYAD
[4:0]) to set a unique seed value.
6.5.1.1.3 NRZ to NRZI Encoder
After the transmit data stream has been serialized and scrambled, the data must be NRZI encoded in
order to comply with the TP-PMD standard for 100BASE-TX transmission over Category-5 Unshielded
twisted pair cable.
6.5.1.1.4 Binary to MLT-3 Convertor
The Binary to MLT-3 conversion is accomplished by converting the serial binary data stream output from
the NRZI encoder into two binary data streams with alternately phased logic one events. These two binary
streams are then fed to the twisted pair output driver which converts the voltage to current and alternately
drives either side of the transmit transformer primary winding, resulting in a MLT-3 signal.
The 100BASE-TX MLT-3 signal sourced by the PMD Out- put Pair common driver is slew rate controlled.
This should be considered when selecting AC coupling magnetics to ensure TP-PMD Standard compliant
transition times (3 ns < Tr < 5 ns).
The 100BASE-TX transmit TP-PMD function within the DP83848x is capable of sourcing only MLT-3
encoded data. Binary output from the PMD Output Pair is not possible in 100 Mb/s mode.
6.5.1.2 100BASE-TX Receiver
The 100BASE-TX receiver consists of several functional blocks which convert the scrambled MLT-3 125
Mb/s serial data stream to synchronous 4-bit nibble data that is pro- vided to the MII. Because the
100BASE-TX TP-PMD is integrated, the differential input pins, RD±, can be directly routed from the AC
coupling magnetics.
See Figure 6-6 for a block diagram of the 100BASE-TX receive function. This provides an overview of
each functional block within the 100BASE-TX receive section.

6.5.1.2.3 Digital Adaptive Equalization and Gain Control
When transmitting data at high speeds over copper twisted pair cable, frequency dependent attenuation
becomes a concern. In high-speed twisted pair signaling, the frequency content of the transmitted signal
can vary greatly during normal operation based primarily on the randomness of the scrambled data
stream. This variation in signal attenuation caused by frequency variations must be compensated to
ensure the integrity of the transmission.
In order to ensure quality transmission when employing MLT-3 encoding, the compensation must be able
to adapt to various cable lengths and cable types depending on the installed environment. The selection of
long cable lengths for a given implementation, requires significant compensation which will over-
compensate for shorter, less attenuating lengths. Conversely, the selection of short or intermediate cable
lengths requiring less compensation will cause serious under-compensation for longer length cables. The
compensation or equalization must be adaptive to ensure proper conditioning of the received signal
independent of the cable length.
The DP83848x uses an extremely robust equalization scheme referred as Digital Adaptive Equalization.’
The Digital Equalizer removes ISI (inter-symbol interference) from the receive data stream by continuously
adapting to provide a filter with the inverse frequency response of the channel. Equalization is combined
with an adaptive gain control stage. This enables the receive 'eye pattern' to be opened sufficiently to
allow very reliable data recovery.
The curves given in Figure 6-7 illustrate attenuation at certain frequencies for given cable lengths. This is
derived from the worst case frequency vs attenuation figures as specified in the EIA/TIA Bulletin TSB-36.
These curves indicate the significant variations in signal attenuation that must be compensated for by the
receive adaptive equalization circuit.

6.5.1.2.4 Base Line Wander Compensation
The DP83848x is completely ANSI TP-PMD compliant and includes Base Line Wander (BLW)
compensation. The BLW compensation block can successfully recover the TP-PMD defined “killer”
pattern.
BLW can generally be defined as the change in the average DC content, relatively short period over time,
of an AC coupled digital transmission over a given transmission medium (that is, copper wire).

Detailed DescriptionCopyright © 2008–2015, Texas Instruments Incorporated
BLW results from the interaction between the low-frequency components of a transmitted bit stream and
the frequency response of the AC coupling components within the transmission system. If the low-
frequency content of the digital bit stream goes below the low-frequency pole of the AC coupling
transformers then the droop characteristics of the transformers will dominate resulting in potentially
serious BLW.
The digital oscilloscope plot provided in Figure 6-8 illustrates the severity of the BLW event that can
theoretically be generated during 100BASE-TX packet transmission. This event consists of approximately
800 mV of DC offset for a period of 120 µs. Left uncompensated, events such as this can cause packet
loss.
Figure 6-8. 100BASE-TX BLW Event
6.5.1.2.5 Signal Detect
The signal detect function of the DP83848x is incorporated to meet the specifications mandated by the
ANSI FDDI TP-PMD Standard as well as the IEEE 802.3 100BASE-TX Standard for both voltage
thresholds and timing parameters.
Note that the reception of normal 10BASE-T link pulses and fast link pulses per IEEE 802.3 Auto-
Negotiation by the 100BASE-TX receiver do not cause the DP83848x to assert signal detect.
6.5.1.2.6 MLT-3 to NRZI Decoder
The DP83848x decodes the MLT-3 information from the Digital Adaptive Equalizer block to binary NRZI
data.
6.5.1.2.7 NRZI to NRZ
In a typical application, the NRZI to NRZ decoder is required in order to present NRZ formatted data to the
descrambler.
6.5.1.2.8 Serial to Parallel
The 100BASE-TX receiver includes a Serial to Parallel converter which supplies 5-bit wide data symbols
to the PCS Rx state machine.
6.5.1.2.9 Descrambler
A serial descrambler is used to de-scramble the received NRZ data. The descrambler has to generate an
identical data scrambling sequence (N) in order to recover the original unscrambled data (UD) from the
scrambled data (SD) as represented in the equations:
SD = (UD N) (1)
UD = (SD N) (2)

Detailed Description Copyright © 2008–2015, Texas Instruments Incorporated
Synchronization of the descrambler to the original scrambling sequence (N) is achieved based on the
knowledge that the incoming scrambled data stream consists of scrambled IDLE data. After the
descrambler has recognized 12 consecutive IDLE code-groups, where an unscrambled IDLE code-group
in 5B NRZ is equal to five consecutive ones (11111), it will synchronize to the receive data stream and
generate unscrambled data in the form of unaligned 5B code-groups.
In order to maintain synchronization, the descrambler must continuously monitor the validity of the
unscrambled data that it generates. To ensure this, a line state monitor and a hold timer are used to
constantly monitor the synchronization status. Upon synchronization of the descrambler the hold timer
starts a 722-µs countdown. Upon detection of sufficient IDLE code-groups (58 bit times) within the 722-µs
period, the hold timer will reset and begin a new countdown. This monitoring operation will continue
indefinitely given a properly operating network connection with good signal integrity. If the line state
monitor does not recognize sufficient unscrambled IDLE code-groups within the 722-µs period, the entire
descrambler will be forced out of the current state of synchronization and reset in order to re-acquire
synchronization.
6.5.1.2.10 Code-Group Alignment
The code-group alignment module operates on unaligned 5-bit data from the descrambler (or, if the
descrambler is bypassed, directly from the NRZI/NRZ decoder) and converts it into 5B code-group data (5
bits). Code-group alig ment occurs after the J/K code-group pair is detected. Once the J/K code-group pair
(11000 10001) is detected, subsequent data is aligned on a fixed boundary.
6.5.1.2.11 4B/5B Decoder
The code-group decoder functions as a look up table that translates incoming 5B code-groups into 4B
nibbles. The code-group decoder first detects the J/K code-group pair preceded by IDLE code-groups and
replaces the J/K with MAC preamble. Specifically, the J/K 10-bit code-group pair is replaced by the nibble
pair (0101 0101). All subsequent 5B code-groups are converted to the corresponding 4B nibbles for the
duration of the entire packet. This conversion ceases upon the detection of the T/R code-group pair
denoting the End of Stream Delimiter (ESD) or with the reception of a minimum of two IDLE code-groups.
6.5.1.2.12 100BASE-TX Link Integrity Monitor
The 100 Base TX Link monitor ensures that a valid and stable link is established before enabling both the
Transmit and Receive PCS layer.
Signal detect must be valid for 395 µs to allow the link monitor to enter the 'Link Up' state, and enable the
transmit and receive functions.
6.5.1.2.13 Bad SSD Detection
A Bad Start of Stream Delimiter (Bad SSD) is any transition from consecutive idle code-groups to non-idle
code-groups which is not prefixed by the code-group pair /J/K.
If this condition is detected, the DP83848x will assert RX_ER and present RXD[3:0] = 1110 to the MII for
the cycles that correspond to received 5B code-groups until at least two IDLE code groups are detected.
In addition, the False Carrier Sense Counter register (FCSCR) will be incremented by one.
Once at least two IDLE code groups are detected, RX_ER and CRS become deasserted.
6.5.1.3 10BASE-T Transceiver Module
The 10BASE-T Transceiver Module is IEEE 802.3 compliant. It includes the receiver, transmitter, collision,
heart-beat, loopback, jabber, and link integrity functions, as defined in the standard. An external filter is not
required on the 10BASE-T interface because this is integrated inside the DP83848x. This section focuses
on the general 10BASE-T system level operation.

Half Duplex mode
Full Duplex mode
Half Duplex Mode In Half Duplex mode the DP83848x functions as a standard IEEE 802.3 10BASE-T
transceiver supporting the CSMA/CD protocol.
Full Duplex Mode In Full Duplex mode the DP83848x is capable of simultaneously transmitting and
receiving without asserting the collision signal. The DP83848x's 10 Mb/s ENDEC is designed to encode
and decode simultaneously.
6.5.1.3.2 Smart Squelch
The smart squelch is responsible for determining when valid data is present on the differential receive
inputs. The DP83848x implements an intelligent receive squelch to ensure that impulse noise on the
receive inputs will not be mistaken for a valid signal. Smart-squelch operation is independent of the
10BASE-T operational mode.
The squelch circuitry employs a combination of amplitude and timing measurements (as specified in the
IEEE 802.3 10BSE-T standard) to determine the validity of data on the twisted-pair inputs (refer to
Figure 6-9).
The signal at the start of a packet is checked by the smart squelch and any pulses not exceeding the
squelch level (either positive or negative, depending upon polarity) will be rejected. Once this first squelch
level is overcome correctly, the opposite squelch level must then be exceeded within 150 ns. Finally, the
signal must again exceed the original squelch level within a 150 ns to ensure that the input waveform will
not be rejected. This checking procedure results in the loss of typically three preamble bits at the
beginning of each packet.
Only after all these conditions have been satisfied will a control signal be generated to indicate to the
remainder of the circuitry that valid data is present. At this time, the smart squelch circuitry is reset.
Valid data is considered to be present until the squelch level has not been generated for a time longer
than 150 ns, indicating the End of Packet. Once good data has been detected, the squelch levels are
reduced to minimize the effect of noise causing premature End of Packet detection.

6.5.1.3.3 Collision Detection and SQE
When in Half Duplex, a 10BASE-T collision is detected when the receive and transmit channels are active
simultaneously. Collisions are reported by the COL signal on the MII. Collisions are also reported when a
jabber condition is detected.
The COL signal remains set for the duration of the collision. If the PHY is receiving when a collision is
detected it is reported immediately (through the COL pin).

Detailed Description Copyright © 2008–2015, Texas Instruments Incorporated
When heartbeat is enabled, approximately 1 µs after the transmission of each packet, a Signal Quality
Error (SQE) signal of approximately 10-bit times is generated to indicate successful transmission. SQE is
reported as a pulse on the COL signal of the MII.
The SQE test is inhibited when the PHY is set in full duplex mode. SQE can also be inhibited by setting
the HEARTBEAT_DIS bit in the 10BTSCR register.
6.5.1.3.4 Carrier Sense
Carrier Sense (CRS) may be asserted due to receive activity once valid data is detected through the
squelch function.
For 10 Mb/s Half Duplex operation, CRS is asserted during either packet transmission or reception.
For 10 Mb/s Full Duplex operation, CRS is asserted only during receive activity.
CRS is deasserted following an end of packet.
6.5.1.3.5 Normal Link Pulse Detection/Generation
The link pulse generator produces pulses as defined in the IEEE 802.3 10BASE-T standard. Each link
pulse is nominally 100 ns in duration and transmitted every 16 ms in the absence of transmit data.
Link pulses are used to check the integrity of the connection with the remote end. If valid link pulses are
not received, the link detector disables the 10BASE-T twisted pair transmitter, receiver and collision
detection functions.
When the link integrity function is disabled (FORCE_LINK_10 of the 10BTSCR register), a good link is
forced and the 10BASE-T transceiver will operate regardless of the presence of link pulses.
6.5.1.3.6 Jabber Function
The jabber function monitors the DP83848x's output and disables the transmitter if it attempts to transmit a
packet of longer than legal size. A jabber timer monitors the transmitter and disables the transmission if
the transmitter is active for approximately 85 ms.
Once disabled by the Jabber function, the transmitter stays disabled for the entire time that the ENDEC
module's internal transmit enable is asserted. This signal has to be deasserted for approximately 500 ms
(the “unjab” time) before the Jabber function re-enables the transmit outputs.
The Jabber function is only relevant in 10BASE-T mode.
6.5.1.3.7 Automatic Link Polarity Detection and Correction
The DP83848x's 10BASE-T transceiver module incorporates an automatic link polarity detection circuit.
When three consecutive inverted link pulses are received, bad polarity is reported.
A polarity reversal can be caused by a wiring error at either end of the cable, usually at the Main
Distribution Frame (MDF) or patch panel in the wiring closet.
The bad polarity condition is latched in the 10BTSCR register. The DP83848x's 10BASE-T transceiver
module corrects for this error internally and will continue to decode received data correctly. This eliminates
the need to correct the wiring error immediately.
6.5.1.3.8 Transmit and Receive Filtering
External 10BASE-T filters are not required when using the DP83848x, as the required signal conditioning
is integrated into the device.
Only isolation transformers and impedance matching resistors are required for the 10BASE-T transmit and
receive interface. The internal transmit filtering ensures that all the harmonics in the transmit signal are
attenuated by at least 30 dB.

6.5.1.3.9 Transmitter
The encoder begins operation when the Transmit Enable input (TX_EN) goes high and converts NRZ data
to pre-emphasized Manchester data for the transceiver. For the duration of TX_EN, the serialized
Transmit Data (TXD) is encoded for the transmit-driver pair (PMD Output Pair). TXD must be valid on the
rising edge of Transmit Clock (TX_CLK). Transmission ends when TX_EN deasserts. The last transition is
always positive; it occurs at the center of the bit cell if the last bit is a one, or at the end of the bit cell if the
last bit is a zero.
6.5.1.3.10 Receiver
The decoder detects the end of a frame when no additional mid-bit transitions are detected. Within one
and a half bit times after the last bit, carrier sense is deasserted. Receive clock stays active for five more
bit times after CRS goes low, to ensure the receive timings of the controller.

7.2.1.2 Clock IN (X1) Recommendations
The DP83848x supports an external CMOS level oscillator source or a crystal resonator device.
7.2.1.2.1 Oscillator
If an external clock source is used, X1 should be tied to the clock source and X2 should be left floating.
The CMOS oscillator specifications for MII Mode are listed in Table 7-1. For RMII Mode, the CMOS
oscillator specifications are listed in Table 7-2. For RMII mode, it is not recommended that the system
clock out, Pin 21 of DP83848H, DP83848M, or DP83848T devices, be used as the reference clock to the
MAC without first verifying the interface timing. See AN-1405 for more details.
7.2.1.2.2 Crystal
A 25-MHz, parallel, 20-pF load crystal resonator should be used if a crystal source is desired. Figure 7-3
shows a typical connection for a crystal resonator circuit. The load capacitor values will vary with the
crystal vendors; check with the vendor for the recommended loads.
The oscillator circuit is designed to drive a parallel resonance AT cut crystal with a minimum drive level of
100 µW and a maximum of 500 µW. If a crystal is specified for a lower drive level, a current limiting
resistor should be placed in series between X2 and the crystal.
As a starting point for evaluating an oscillator circuit, if the requirements for the crystal are not known, CL1
and CL2 should be set at 33 pF, and R1 should be set at 0 Ω.
Specification for 25-MHz crystal are listed in Table 7-3.

7.2.1.4 Magnetics
The magnetics have a large impact on the PHY performance as well. While several components are listed
below, others may be compatible following the requirements listed in Table 6-4. It is recommended that
the magnetics include both an isolation transformer and an integrated common mode choke to reduce
EMI. When doing the layout, do not run signals under the magnetics. This could cause unwanted noise
crosstalk. Likewise void the planes under discrete magnetics, this will help prevent common mode noise
coupling. To save board space and reduce component count, an RJ-45 with integrated magnetics may be
used.

7.2.2 Detailed Design Procedure
7.2.2.1 MAC Interface (MII/RMII)
The Media Independent Interface (MII) connects the PHYTER component to the Media Access Controller
(MAC). The MAC may in fact be a discrete device, integrated into a microprocessor, CPU or FPGA. On
the MII signals, the IEEE specification states the bus should be 68-Ωimpedance. For space critical
designs, the PHYTER family of products also support Reduced MII (RMII). For additional information on
this mode of operation, refer to the AN-1405 DP83848 Single 10/100 Mb/s Ethernet Transceiver Reduced
Media Independent Interface (RMII) Mode Application Report (SNLA076).
7.2.2.1.1 Termination Requirement
To reduce digital signal energy, 50-Ωseries termination resistors are recommended for all MII output
signals (including RXCLK, TXCLK, and RX Data signals.)

7.2.2.1.2 Recommended Maximum Trace Length
Although RMII and MII are synchronous bus architectures, there are a number of factors limiting signal
trace lengths. With a longer trace, the signal becomes more attenuated at the destination and thus more
susceptible to noise interference. Longer traces also act as antennas, and if run on the surface layer, can
increase EMI radiation. If a long trace is running near and adjacent to a noisy signal, the unwanted signals
could be coupled in as cross talk. It is recommended to keep the signal trace lengths as short as possible.
Ideally, keep the traces under 6 inches. Trace length matching, to within 2 inches on the MII or RMII bus
is also recommended. Significant differences in the trace lengths can cause data timing issues. As with
any high speed data signal, good design practices dictate that impedance should be maintained and stubs
should be avoided throughout the entire data path.
7.2.2.2 Calculating Impedance
The following equations can be used to calculate the differential impedance of the board. For microstrip
traces, a solid ground plane is needed under the signal traces. The ground plane helps keep the EMI
localized and the trace impedance continuous. Because stripline traces are typically sandwiched between
the ground/supply planes, they have the advantage of lower EMI radiation and less noise coupling. The
trade off of using strip line is lower propagation speed.

7.3 Layout
7.3.1 Layout Guidelines
Place the 49.9-Ω,1% resistors, and 0.1-μF decoupling capacitor near the PHYTER TD+/- and RD+/- pins
and via directly to the VDD plane.
Stubs should be avoided on all signal traces, especially the differential signal pairs. See Figure 7-11.
Within the pairs (for example, TD+ and TD-) the trace lengths should be run parallel to each other and
matched in length. Matched lengths minimize delay differences, avoiding an increase in common mode
noise and increased EMI. See Figure 7-11.
Figure 7-11. Differential Signal Pair - Stubs
Ideally, there should be no crossover or via on the signal paths. Vias present impedance discontinuities
and should be minimized. Route an entire trace pair on a single layer if possible. PCB trace lengths
should be kept as short as possible.
Signal traces should not be run such that they cross a plane split. See Figure 7-12. A signal crossing a
plane split may cause unpredictable return path currents and would likely impact signal quality as well,
potentially creating EMI problems.

Within a PCB it may be desirable to run traces using different methods, microstrip vs. stripline, depending
on the location of the signal on the PCB. For example, it may be desirable to change layer stacking where
an isolated chassis ground plane is used. Figure 7-14 illustrates alternative PCB stacking options.

7.4 Power Supply Recommendations
The device VDD supply pins should be bypassed with low-impedance 0.1-μF surface mount capacitors. To
reduce EMI, the capacitors should be places as close as possible to the component VDD supply pins,
preferably between the supply pins and the vias connecting to the power plane. In some systems it may
be desirable to add 0-Ωresistors in series with supply pins, as the resistor pads provide flexibility if adding
EMI beads becomes necessary to meet system level certification testing requirements. (See Figure 7-14)
It is recommended the PCB have at least one solid ground plane and one solid VDD plane to provide a low
impedance power source to the component. This also provides a low impedance return path for non-
differential digital MII and clock signals. A 10.0-μF capacitor should also be placed near the PHY
component for local bulk bypassing between the VDD and ground planes.

(1) The marketing status values are defined as follows:
ACTIVE: Product device recommended for new designs.
LIFEBUY: TI has announced that the device will be discontinued, and a lifetime-buy period is in effect.
NRND: Not recommended for new designs. Device is in production to support existing customers, but TI does not recommend using this part in a new design.
PREVIEW: Device has been announced but is not in production. Samples may or may not be available.
OBSOLETE: TI has discontinued the production of the device.
(2) RoHS: TI defines "RoHS" to mean semiconductor products that are compliant with the current EU RoHS requirements for all 10 RoHS substances, including the requirement that RoHS substance
do not exceed 0.1% by weight in homogeneous materials. Where designed to be soldered at high temperatures, "RoHS" products are suitable for use in specified lead-free processes. TI may
reference these types of products as "Pb-Free".
RoHS Exempt: TI defines "RoHS Exempt" to mean products that contain lead but are compliant with EU RoHS pursuant to a specific EU RoHS exemption.
Green: TI defines "Green" to mean the content of Chlorine (Cl) and Bromine (Br) based flame retardants meet JS709B low halogen requirements of <=1000ppm threshold. Antimony trioxide based
flame retardants must also meet the <=1000ppm threshold requirement.
(3) MSL, Peak Temp. - The Moisture Sensitivity Level rating according to the JEDEC industry standard classifications, and peak solder temperature.
(4) There may be additional marking, which relates to the logo, the lot trace code information, or the environmental category on the device.
(5) Multiple Device Markings will be inside parentheses. Only one Device Marking contained in parentheses and separated by a "~" will appear on a device. If a line is indented then it is a continuation
of the previous line and the two combined represent the entire Device Marking for that device.
(6) Lead finish/Ball material - Orderable Devices may have multiple material finish options. Finish options are separated by a vertical ruled line. Lead finish/Ball material values may wrap to two
lines if the finish value exceeds the maximum column width.
