5.3.8.3 TDR Cable Diagnostics

Identify which pair has a fault

I'd like to know what register has pair has result  of pair fault?

Thanks in advance.

  • Hi billy,

    The pair that has the fault is based on the pair that gets checked by the TDR. The TDR by default checks the TX pair.

    Transmit Channel Select: The transmitter can send pulses down either the transmit pair or the
    receive pair by enabling bit 13 of TDR_CTRL (16h). Default value is to select the transmit pair.

    Check the status of bit[13] in the TDR_CTRL register to see which pair is being tested by the TDR.

    Best Regards,
