DP83869HM: LED_0 is on at boot time.

Part Number: DP83869HM


hi

I am building a custom board using the DP83869HM.

I've built dozens of boards, and I've noticed that on a few boards, LED_0 is on when I boot up and connect to the Ethernet switch.

I have LINK LOSS PASS THRU enabled, so I know that LED_0 shouldn't be on in the first place unless the SD is recognized.

In general, the behavior of my boards is

1. if there is no SD signal, LED_0 stays on for a while and then turns off when connected to the Ethernet switch at boot time.
2. if an SD signal is later recognized, LED_0 turns on.

When reading through MDIO, even though LED_0 is on, it is read as LINK DOWN.

The other Ethernet switch is also lit as LINK ON.

The biggest problem is that

LED_0 turns off when the fiber is connected to the SFF LC fiber connector and then removed.

Do you know anything about these problems?

Sincerely
