Hello,
I want to confirm about below note in datasheet.
---------------------
TI recommends connecting Signal Detect pin from the Optical Transceiver to the LED_1 pin and enable it using SD_EN bootstrap pin in 100BASE-FX mode. The LED_1 pin is not used in design and that, if the electrical link between the fiber module and the DP83822 is broken, disconnected or otherwise disrupted, the link will recover only by initiating a soft reset through MDIO/MDC interface.
---------------------
When SD signal doesn't connect LED_1 and link broken, RESET required for recovery link. DP83822 link status depends on SD signal status. This means above condition never occurs when SD signal connects to LED_1 even though bit error rate is worse as not maintain link condition. Because link status equals SD signal.
Does my understanding correct?
Best regards,
