DP83822 operational delay after PWNDW_N deasserted

Other Parts Discussed in Thread: DP83822I

Hello, I have selected the DP83822I for a new design.

For power savings reason, I would like to keep the PWNDN_N pin asserted at board power-up.

However, I cannot find in the datasheet the delay from PWNDN_N  de-asserted to chip fully operationnal.
Is it the same as a regular power-up (section 7.6) ?

Also, regarding section 7.7, how can the device be so slow from a RESET_N deassertion when the 83848 took just few micro seconds. Is it a datasheet mistake ?

Thanks

Best regards

  • Hi Pascal,

    I am looking into this for you. Please give me a few days to get an answer.

  • Hi Pascal,

    The time required for the PHY to stabilize after RESET_N deassertion is significantly less than the datasheet indicates.

    The T3 value is 3us typ. The T4 value is 150ns typ.

    The value in the DP83822 datasheet will be updated.

  • Hi Rob,

    Thanks for the clarification about reset time.

    However, my original question is about the startup time from a PWRDN release ? Any data ?

    While the device is in IEEE Pwoer down, there are still active function within teh chip and I am expecting a shorter delay than a regular power up.  

  • Hello, how can i get an answer for the PWRDN to chip fully operationnal delay ? This shoumd normally be specified in the component datasheet.
    Thanks

  • Hi Pascal,

    The PWDN signal timing has the same relationship as the RESET pin to MDIO access and activity on the line.

  • Hello Rob & all, I needd to reopen this thread for further clarification of the DP83822 operation with respect to power down.
    1- My understanding was that MDIO register access is fonctional while in power down state (through PWDN_N pin). Given the previous answers and the lack of datasheet data about PWDN_N operation, I am not quite sure now. So is that correct ?
    2- Do we need an active clock on XI to have register access functional while in power down state ?
    3- With respect to wakeup time from a PWDN_N de-assertion, does the clock state (XI input) makes a difference if that clock is started at the same time as rather tahn having it free running while in power up state (PLL lock) ? The PHYSCR bit 15 casts some doubts about the clock state wile in power down state.

    Thanks
