DP83867E: Strapping Pins set for SGMII

Part Number: DP83867E

Hello, I am using the DP83867E Transceiver with an SGMII input. I need some help setting up the Strapping Pins. Here is what I have so far:

RX_DO Mode 4

RX_D2 Mode 4

RX_CTRL Mode 4

GPIO_0 Mode 4

GPIO_1 Mode 4

Led_2 Mode 4

Led_1 Mode 4

Led_0 Mode 4

RX_D1 and RX_D3 have same strapping pin resistors as RX_D0 and RX_D2 respectively.

Mode          IDEAL Rhi      IDEAL Rlo

1                 open              open

2                 10K                2.49K

3                5.76K             2.49K

4               2.49K             OPEN   ( page 36 says for RX_D0, RX_D1, RX_D2, RX_D3 use Rhi 4K and Rlo 10K for SGMII)

So, I should have the following

Rhi for RX_D0,RX_D1,RX_D2,RX_D3 use a 4Kohm 

Rlo for RX_D0,RX_D1,RX_D2,RX_D3 use a 10Kohm

Rhi for RX_CTRL, GPIO_0, GPIO_1, LED_2, LED_1, LED_0 use a 2.49Kohm

Rlo for RX_CTRL, GPIO_0, GPIO_1, LED_2, LED_1, LED_0 use OPEN

Please me know if I have the right resistor values.

Thanks,

Joe

    I attached a schematic view of my circuit. 

  • Hi,

    Strap settings shall be aligned to your application needs.

    What Phy Address your want to configure ?, whether you want to disable Auto-Neg etc...


    Only comment I have is GPIO_0 : Mode 4 is not applicable. You shall choose Mode 1 or Mode 4. Please refer to datasheet Table 6 "4 Level Straps" to understand the strap configured for each of pin.

  • Geet,

    Hello, thank you for responding to my post. On page 36 the datasheet it says that for RX_D0, RX_D1, RX_D2, RX_D3 use Rhi 4K and Rlo 10K for SGMII), so the other pins would use the resistors in Table 5. For example, if I want GPIO_1 set to mode 4, then I would use a 2.49K for Rhi, is that correct?

    Last, I'm using SGMII so on GPIO_0 I would choose mode 1, is that correct? You say "choose Mode 1 or Mode 4.

    Thanks,
    Joe
  • Hi Joe,

    SGMII has 6 signals, SGMII_SON/SOP, SGMII_SIN/SIP, SGMII_COP/CON defined across RX_D3/D2, RX_D1/D0, TX_D0/TX_D1. Given SGMII is LVDS, to balance the signal, if your applications needs to have strap on one of the pins eg, SGMII_SON/SOP, you need have the same strap on the both pins. I hope it clarifies.


    Please choose the straps as needed by your application. only requirement is to balance the differential signal by keeping the same value of strap on pairs.

  • Now I understand. Thank you
