DP83848K: Arbitrary data transmission in compliance test

Guru 11170 points
Part Number: DP83848K


Hello E2E,

Our customer will try to compliance test next week. They are looking for data transmit format at this PHY following ;

| - - Data transmit (50us) - - | - - No communicate (150us) - - | - - Data transmit (50us) - - | - - (repetition...)

Apparently, the measuring instrument of the certification organization requests such operation.
Is this PHY can that operation by registor modify?
(I think that it is work of master device.)

Regards,
ACGUY

  • Hi,

    DP83848 supports standard Test Modes needed for IEEE Compliance Test. It also supports internal Packet Generator to transmit the packets. This has to be controlled thru MDC/MDIO register configuration. Reaching the timing granularity looks tough to me. Alternatively you can look for MAC which provide such fine control to inject the data.
