DP83869HM: IO_MUX_CFG Register

Part Number: DP83869HM

Tool/software:

Dear team, 

I have question regarding IO_MUX_CFG Register (Offset = 170h) [Reset = 0CX0h] value. 

1. Red box, What does "X" mean as a reset value? What is default value of bit 6 (CLK_O_DISABLE) after reset? Do I have to be set 0h or 1h after reset?

2. Green box, "Reg 0xC6 must be set equal to 0x10 before CLK_O_SEL can be modified" 

   What is Reg 0xC6 register? C6h is ANA_PLL_PROG_PI, reserved register with  [Reset = 0000h] value. Does Reg 0xC6 mean ANA_PLL_PROG_PI? Do I have to be set equal to 0x10 before CLK_O_SEL can be modified? 

3. The customer would like to use clock output of  1st DP83869HM  as a clock input for 2nd DP83869HM. Is there any side effect like jitter or other problem? Is there anything I need to be careful about to use this concept?

Thank you. 

  • Hi Team,

    1. Thank you for pointing this out. Clock Out should be enable after reset. 
    2. Yes, Writing register 0x00C6 from 0000 to 0010 before playing around with the register 0x0170
    3. As long as the CLK_OUT spec after the layout satisfy all the the oscillator clock spec. It should be fine.
