DP83849I: USE CASE confirmation

Part Number: DP83849I

Hi team : 

my customer is sourcing  dual RMII phy, so i think the DP83849I is good to use.

when we check the spec , there are some question we confused:

 1/ Can both RMII be configured as RMII master mode?

2/ The value of the address PHYAD[4:1] is either odd or even, but portA requires an even number, and portB requires an odd number. How to meet this requirement?

  • Hi Allen,

    Yes, both ports can be used as RMII master mode and 50Mhz supplied to MAC using the CLK2MAC pin.

    The 4 address strap pins provide the upper four bits of the PHY address. The lowest bit of the PHY address is dependent on the port. Port A has a value of 0 for the PHY address bit 0 while port B has a value of 1. The PHY address strap input pins are shown in Table 5-13.

    Thanks,

    David
