DP83867E: DP83867E timing with AM6546

Part Number: DP83867E
Other Parts Discussed in Thread: AM6546

Hi Team,

My customer is using DP83867ERGZ for 1000BASE connection(LAN and WAN) along with AM6546 in one of the project.

Currently doing the Hardware Validation and are doing the Electrical signal measurements to verify the RGMII v2.0 Timing Requirements.

Below are the measurements

RGMII Timing Parameters 1000BASE
Tx/Rx Parameter Requirement Measured
RX 1000BASE Rx Setup Time 2ns 2.8ns
Rx Hold Time 2ns 5.3ns
Rx Clock Cycle 8ns 8ns
Rx Clock Fall Time 0.75ns 1.75ns
Rx Clock Rise Time 0.75ns 1.75ns

From the measurements it is observed that the Rx signals are not meeting the Timing requirements.

Since these are just point to point connections with only series termination resistor in between, we do not have any control in hardware for these signals.

Requested your help to analyze and resolve this issue.

Please find attached snapshot, help with your inputs and comments to resolve this issue.
