TI Team,
My customer needs to put PHY to shutdown in case of detecting any malfunctions in the system, and as long as the system gets back to normal operation.
In this state (PHY shutdown) task is to interrupt all communications from the PHY.
What is best way to do it?
Looking at datasheet I think ~RESET pin should be helpful, I understand PHY re-start happens on ~RESET rising edge after pulling the pin down for >1us time.
What happens in PHY operation between ~RESET falling edge and <1us?
Does the PHY operate normally in this time?
Also: Can ~RESET pin be hold low for as long as needed?
