DP83TG721S-Q1: Feritte Beads definition

Part Number: DP83TG721S-Q1

Hi team,

may I ask for answer in regards to pending questions:

1) Why is 100MHz the decisive frequency for the Ethernet transceiver DP83TG721S Q1? It is the 4th overtone of the quartz frequency. Why is the fundamental frequency of 25MHz not decisive in that case? Why are there two different ferrite beads chosen? The given answer does not explain all these questions
2) Does it mean in case EMC performance can be ensured without ferrite beads that TI does not see a necessity to implement the ferrite beads?

Appreciate it!

Katharina

  • Hi Katharina,

    Our datasheet recommendations should be followed exactly in order to guarantee performance of the device. Please recommend customer to install the given ferrite beads, as these have been selected by design and used in validation of the silicon. This will provide proper EMC performance, we would not recommend removing them.   

    Thanks,

    David
