Hi Team,
We have few
queries regarding Layout guidelines for DP83869HM. In the datasheet layout guideline section it is mentioned that, "Pairs must be referenced to parallel ground plane".
Also in same datasheet its mentioned that, "Return path can be continuous ground or DC power plane".
So we would like to understand that, to which plane the signals should be referenced. If it's power plane, can it be 2.5V or 1.8V? what is the DC voltage plane or any voltage plane it can be?
Please provide your input to proceed further.
Best Regards,
Vyshnav Krishnan
