DP83869HM: Fiber connector

Part Number: DP83869HM
Other Parts Discussed in Thread: DP83869

Hi. 

I am using AFBR-59E5APZ fiber connector interfaced with DP83869HM.  with termination of 100E (diff pair) , RD+ and RD-  for TD+ and TD- connected directly to DP83869HM 14th and 15th pins. 

Question is : do i need termination for 14th and 15th pins ? 

what is the HW pin strap configuration. since i am using DP83869HM along with copper (1G) 

Please do support. 

thanks, 

Visweswara. 

  • Hi Visweswara,

    Here is the connection diagram between DP83869 and a fiber transceiver. I see there are AC coupling capacitors integrated to that transceiver, so you do not need to add these externally:

    You do not need any termination on pins 14/15. The common mode voltage will be set by the PHY.

    what is the HW pin strap configuration. since i am using DP83869HM along with copper (1G) 

    You are using media converter mode (Copper to fiber) correct? In this case, you should use the following strap configuration:

  • hi shane, 

    I will be using only fiber connector,  RJ45 connector will be depopulated.  I need a configuration for only fiber. which supports min to max speed. 

    resistor values for the same to populate for fiber / depopulate for the RJ45 option. 

  • Hi Visweswara,

    So you want options for RGMII to Copper or RGMII to fiber based on resistor population correct? In this case leave an option to pull down JTAG_TDO/GPIO_1 for copper mode. RGMII to 1000Base-X is 1G fiber mode:

    Best,

  • Hi Shane, 

    I need the options for both RGMII to copper and RGMII to fiber both options will be present on a single layout. I will use with Fiber or copper. 

    Suggest me the strap configuration. please  

    thanks in advance

  • Hi Visweswara,

    The red circle on Table 7-12 below shows the strap configuration.

    You need to have a pullup on JTAG_TDO/GPIO_1 for fiber mode, and can de-populate this pullup for copper. Since two-level straps are pulled low internally, the PHY will set these to mode '0' by default:

    You would not need strapping on RX_D3 or RX_D2, but you will need a 2.49k pullup on JTAG_TDO/GPIO_1.

    Best,

    Shane
