DP83867IS: WoL (Wake-on-LAN)

Part Number: DP83867IS

Tool/software:

Hi All,

The DP83867IS supports four power-saving modes.
Does WoL function while in one of these modes?

When I check 7.3.1 WoL (Wake-on-LAN) Packet Detection, I understand that WoL works. Is my understanding correct?
Does "low-power state" refer to 7.5.6 Power-Saving Modes?

Best Regards,

    The WoL packet detection is not a low power mode itself. The PHY is active and maintains a link with the Link Partner in order to receive the Magic Packet. WoL is supported in all MAC interface modes expect MII Isolate mode. 

    The DP83867 also supports various low-power modes that can be used to depending on your application, however the WoL feature is available in the normal operation mode of the PHY.  Please see this app note for more detailed info on WoL.

    Thanks
