DP83848I: Value for "SPEED STATUS" bit of PHYSTS register when unplug Ethernet cable

Part Number: DP83848I

Hi Experts,

SPEED STATUS bit of PHYSTS is defined as below.

At Auto-negotiation mode, this bit is updated when plugging Ethernet cable and Link is established. When unplugging Ethernet cable, is this bit cleared?

Regards,

Uchikoshi

    Hi Uchikoshi-san,

    The Speed Status bit is valid only when there is a valid link. So when the cable is removed, that bit should not be used. In order to detect link down, use bit 0.

    Hi Aniruddha,
    This post is related to below post.

    e2e.ti.com/.../795796

    Before adding a wait loop for "AUTO-NEG COMPLETE" flag to be set, a software read "SPEED STATUS" bit just after "LINK STATUS" bit becomes to 1. On Auto-negotiation mode, when connecting to a pear device whose PHY speed is fixed to 10Mbps, a "SPEED STATUS" bit was indicating to "0"(100 mbps). This is what the datasheet is explaining. We have to wait "AUTO-NEG COMPLETE" flag is set to 1. After that, "SPEED STATUS" bit becomes to "1"(10mbps). Then, disconnect the cable and re-connect a cable again then read "SPEED STATUS" bit just after "LINK STATUS" bit is set, "SPEED STATUS" bit is 0. It looks like "SPEED STATUS" bit is cleared to 0 when disconnecting a cable. So I want to know if this behavior is expected.

    Hello Uchikoshi-san,

    The default value of Speed Status bit is 0 so it is expected that the bit will go back to its default value when the link is dropped.
