DP83822I: intra-pair and inter-pair routing layout

Aaron Spaete

Part Number: DP83822I
Other Parts Discussed in Thread: DP83867E

Team,

My customer has the following question.

We are working the layout and route of the Ethernet interfaces on our prototype modules. Do you have a TI app note that defines the Ethernet routing RX/TX requirements of intra-pair and inter-pair trace length and matching between the PHY devices, Magnetics, and Port Connector (RJ45)?

For reference, here are the devices that we are using: dp83867e, DP83822IRHBT.

Regards,

Aaron

Hi Aaron,

We currently do not have an app note, but I can provide some suggestions for the MDI trace requirements:

All traces should have a trace length of less than 2 inches.
For both intra-pair and inter-pair, length match within 50 mils for 1000M applications, or 100 mils for 10/100M applications
Ensure a controlled impedance of 100 ohms differential.
Recommend placing a keepout of size 5*w around the traces, where w is the width of the trace.

Regards,

Adrian Kam

Hi Aaron,

I'm also linking an app note that focuses on PHY design checks: https://www.ti.com/lit/an/snla387/snla387.pdf

It reiterates what Adrian already replied, in addition to a few other key considerations.

Thanks,

Lysny
